Renee Airya

Imagine being told you had two weeks left to live.
Now imagine that you’re 23 years old when you hear that.
“Pancreatic cancer…”

What would you do?

Let me introduce you to my friend, Renee Airya.  Renee faced not one, but three life threatening illnesses in her 30-some years on the planet.  In this Heart to Heart interview, she spoke with me about her journey thus far.  She describes her life path in three segments:  her desire for external validation; her process of self-healing; and her focus on service and contribution.

You’ll hear about…

  • the anger that comes with a difficult life journey
  • the healing miracles she experienced
  • how she confronted what she has lost and focuses on what she is creating NOW

Please leave us a comment below and let us hear your thoughts!

For more information on Renee’s work, visit her website at AwakenYourSource.com.

The book I mentioned in the interview is called The Soul of Money by Lynne Twist.  The organization we talked about is Pachamama Alliance.  Visit their website, get to know their story and support their work if you feel so called.

Many thanks to the folks at MindValley and FinerMinds for the recording.

The Miracle is You

Listen to the music.
Listen to the music.
Deep inside

There are universes dancing inside your body.
There are sunsets shining in your heart.
There are symphonies playing in your toes.
Rivers of blood effortlessly flows.
There is a full moon beaming in your belly button.
There is a cool breeze blowing in your lungs.
There is a gentle rain that falls from your eyes.
There is an army of love in every step.
There is love making in your every motion.

A body of devotion.

The miracle is you.
The miracle is you.

So realize.
Visualize.
It’s all inside.

I went to hear Hank Wesselman speak recently on his new book, Awakening to the Spirit World: The Shamanic Path of Direct Revelation, that he co-wrote with Sandra Ingerman, one of my heroes in the world of modern shamanism.

I often tell my clients, “It doesn’t matter to me what you believe in, I’m interested in what you experience.”

Wesselman clarified this idea when he talked about how “direct experience is above belief, beyond faith.  Direct experience equals personal transformation.”

He spoke about the role of the shaman as one who restores power to those who have lost it.  In some ways, this is how I approach coaching, except I don’t think of it as restoring power, so much as reminding people of their own power and offering a re-connection with what may have been forgotten:  the strength within, a source of personal power.  It’s the essence of all that is beyond your physical self, yet accessible by your physical self.

He also touched on how nature mysticism is the doorway to authentic deity mysticism.  It begins “out of doors, where the juice is,” in nature.  And it’s not like this is new.  Everyone who’s had anything to say about the evolution of consciousness “got it”… that nature is one of the truest references of that power – that life force – that energy – that flows through us.  It is our blood, and cells and aura and vibrational being that is, and emits, this stuff…

I have yet to read their book, but based on his talk, I’m looking forward to learning more from him.  It was refreshing to see the reverence for such an ancient tradition, as Wesselman, Ingerman, and their colleague Michael Harner all maintain.

Sacred Shiva Lingam stones symbolize Divine Creative manifestation and only come from the Narmada River in India.  The dark yoni markings symbolize feminine energy, and the shape represents masculine energy… a perfect balance.  The stone corresponds to the heart chakra, the love energy within us.

“What these Shiva Lingam stones offer us is an invitation to join with them in Sacred Stone Acupuncture, where the stones, placed vertically on the Earth’s body, connect with the Crystalline Grid within in the planet (the core geometric pattern and flow of all of Life on Earth, and of the Earth Mother herself), and hold uninterruptedly the intent and alignment of peace for all forms of life.” ~ Peace Across the Planet

Me with Shiva Lingam stone at ChocolaTree in Sedona, AZ

“I am here.

Where are you?

What inspiration captures your intent?

Which direction stores your roots?

I am Shiva Lingam.

Who are you?

What thoughts weave your attention?

Which dreams grasp your lifetimes?

I am Crystalline Grid Keeper and Recorder.

What are you?

What manifestations spring from your hands and feet?

What spirit do you follow when you delight or fear?

I listen for your answers,

for your ways,

for your fears,

for your kindness.

Bring them all to my body and heart

for I judge none of them ever.

Wherever Whomever Whatever

you be,

you are,

I match all of you with deepest honorings.

I know well that courage brings you next to me now

because courage is what brings you to the Earth Mother

in this brave and haunted season–

this previously untouched, unimagined growth,

transformation,

love-beyond-words, ways, fears, kindness.

All stands freely seen in my open and opening eyes

for that is the courage that I bring,

that stands me here upon the Earth Mother

that roots me in this place

in this ritual

with you.

Meet me

with all that you are

with all that you do.

Let us hug all the gifted challenges to our hearts

here and now

so that all that you are,

all that you do,

bravely becomes

Peace.”

Recorded from Arizona Shiva Lingams Listening March 2009
