089: Aimee's Shamanic Training & Feminine Initiation

Hey Desire on Fire fam, Aimee here! In March I attended ISTA level 2 (a deep, shamanic, initiatory training) in Bali, and I'm finally ready to share with you about it. This training was intense, forcing me to face my protective mechanisms (especially with men), my fear of rejection, and my deep yearning to be loved, chosen, claimed and taken by a man. In this episode, I share about the messy, vulnerable, and at-times-humiliating journey I went on in this retreat, and the healing that came out of it. I share a particularly hot moment, and let you in on my experience meeting a couple that changed my life. Enjoy the listen!   Chapters: 03:41 Interrupting my Bali vacation for a deep personal initiation 07:02 Seeking personal insights and healing through this retreat 12:13 Revealing my fear of rejection and desire for acceptance. 16:20 Practicing polarity, surrendering, and a hot moment. 20:27 Expressing gratitude, opening up about my fears and discomfort. 23:35 Sharing my insecurities about my attractiveness, receiving reassurance, and unexpected comfort. 24:36 Emotional experience, fear, joy, acceptance. 27:56 Sharing vulnerably led to feeling so seen, accepted, and loved by a man. 33:52 Sharing gratitude with a man who embodies what I'm seeking.
