From Resistance to Acceptance: My Journey to Awareness

How does one transition from a structured life in Iowa and North Carolina to the mystical realm of shamanism? In this episode, Ebony Mixon takes the reins, unraveling my personal journey with thought-provoking questions and deep explorations. From my childhood memories in Winston-Salem filled with artistic mischief to the mysterious guidance from my grandmother, every story and experience weaves into the tapestry of my spiritual path.Listeners are taken through the evolving landscapes of my life, exploring the pivotal moments that shaped my spiritual awakening. We discuss deeply personal family stories, nostalgic childhood experiences, and the profound bond with my wife, Pam, whose support was, and continues to be, a cornerstone in my journey. Together, we reflect on the challenges faced within organized religion, the transformative power of Reiki and shamanism, and my professional, worldly journey ranging from graphic arts to bartending and beyond, which collectively enriched my spiritual perspective.Closing with reflections on embracing one's past, the significance of interconnectedness, and the ethical dimensions of modern spiritual retreats, this episode is a heartfelt tribute to the journey of self-discovery and healing. We emphasize the importance of grounding and self-awareness, the role of traditional healers, and the necessity of genuine intention in spiritual practices. Join us as we share wisdom, gratitude, and the profound lessons learned along this path, offering a beacon of insight to all listeners.Send us Fan Mail Support the showLearn more,  schedule a Q&A by phone or video, or book a shamanic session at  www.everydayshaman.netVisit my Facebook page - https://m.facebook.com/jeffreybrunktheeverydayshaman?mibextid=LQQJ4d Consider subscribing to  the podcast! https://www.buzzsprout.com/2361167/supporters/new
