When we live a mystical life anything is possible, especially being able to receive communication from spirits regardless of when they were in a living human form. In this episode of The Conscious Diva, I am talking to Spring Washam. Spring is a well-known spiritual teacher who was spontaneously contacted by Harriet Tubman to share her wisdom of living from the heart. I asked Spring who Harriet Tubman the mystic is, and why she is relevant today? This conversation with acclaimed Buddhist teacher Spring Washam was profound. I am so thankful to Spring for her beautiful new book, “The Spirit of Harriet Tubman - AWAKENING FROM THE UNDERGROUND” - which is not a scholarly work or historical account of Harriet Tubman's life, but rather a work explaining a transmission of divine wisdom as a true awakened being.  HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: Spring shares a historical snapshot of Harriet Tubmans' incredible achievements.  The Dharma of Harriet Taubman and the Underground railroad. Spring shares how Harriet is the right kind of Deity for our collective wound of racism. Harriet's message of living from our heart is shared as a practice of learning how to heal our ancestors by asking: Who am I, Who, am I really?  Freedom through consciousness – freeing ourselves from our mental prison and conditioning that shapes our lives and program us to believe non-truths about ourselves. I share how I felt this book was written by both Harriet and Spring, as well as a personal experience I had from reading “The Spirit of Harriet Tubman - AWAKENING FROM THE UNDERGROUND”.  Spring reads her "Prayer of Recognition and Gratitude" from her new book.  For more information on this episode, you can visit the show page, episode #49 at www.theconsciousdiva.com ABOUT SPRING: Considered a pioneer in bringing mindfulness-based meditation practices to diverse communities; Spring Washam is a well-known teacher, healer, and visionary leader based in Oakland, California.
