For much of my life I had such a longing for a single teacher, mentor, belief system or facilitator that, if followed religiously, would lead to freedom from the confusion and pain that I was experiencing.  In the end, I found that I am complex and dynamic enough that I needed to draw from many sources for wisdom.  I got a lot out of talk therapy, but it doesn’t address past life influences or my psychic abilities which are such a fundamental part of my moment-to-moment experience.  Likewise, Reiki wasn’t a great match for addressing unhealthy relating strategies that I was able to see and dismantle with the help of a good therapist.  And so it went across many modalities and with a number of gifted mentors and teachers. This episode is designed to give you support in creating your own life map and compass when it comes to blending wisdom from many sources.  Join my mailing list to learn more and receive additional free content: https://handsoverheart.com/contact-me/mailing-list/ Want to support my work and be supported by my team of guides?  Check out my Patreon offer: https://www.patreon.com/practicalshamanism Check out my online academy at https://academy.handsoverheart.com/  Sound editing by Kevin Young.  You can reach him at [email protected] DISCLAIMER: The suggestions and information provided here are intended for personal growth and exploration.
