Energy Weaving with the Wandering Shaman: Quantum Human Design & Shamanic Wisdom - April 16, 2025 - The Sun Enters the Gate of Innovation/The Earth Enters the Gate of Nurturing

Hello everyone!  Welcome, or welcome back to my podcast!  I’m so happy that you are here.  Before we dive into the energies that are upon us this week, I have a new class offering at a new location coming up soon!  I will be offering my Intro to Quantum Human Design class at Revive Wellness Spa and Studio in Flushing, Michigan, on Wednesday, April 30th, starting at 6 pm.  The cost is $50, and you can sign up here:

I am super excited to be teaching these classes again and would love to see you there!  For that price, you will get a copy of your personal Human Design chart, a copy of the class notes, and an opportunity to book a full reading with me at a reduced rate.  The class is a great way to introduce yourself to the concepts of your unique energetic blueprint, so if you’re in the Flushing, Michigan area, grab a friend and come check it out!    

If you are new to human design and/or shamanism, I invite you to go back and listen to episode 0 of this podcast.  I briefly introduce both concepts there, with a lot of the “lingo” explained.  Alternatively, you could read the Introductory blog post here, where I also briefly introduce both concepts; it may help you as we move through the year.

Ok, so today is April 16, 2025, and the sun is in Gate 3 - the Gate of Innovation and the earth is in Gate 50 - the Gate of Nurturing.  Let’s take a look at what that means.  

Both of these gates have pretty straightforward energies.  Gate 3 is all about timing, and Gate 50 is about taking care of yourself.  But let’s dig a little deeper and see what else we can uncover.  The energy of gate 3 challenges us to trust in Divine timing and to know that your ideas and insights will be transmitted to the world when the world is ready.  Those of us with that gate defined in our birth charts are here to bring change to the world.  We have a unique way of thinking, which makes us innovators and sometimes makes us feel weird or out of place.  The sun is lighting up with gate for everyone this week, so if you feel like you have something important to say - something that may bring about a change in the world - this may be your sign that the timing is right to do that.  But if not - if it doesn’t feel right, be patient.  When the world is ready, you will be heard.  

In the meantime, take care of yourself!  This is the energy of Gate 50.  Simply put, Gate 50 asks us to take care of ourselves first so that we have more to give others.  This is also an intuitive gate, so if you find yourself better able to sense what people need this week, that may be why.  But again, it’s important to remember to take care of yourself first.  If you try to take care of others when you are burnt out and exhausted yourself, you are trying to pour from an empty cup, as they say. Many of us with this gate defined have a hard time with self-care and often fall into guilt when we try to put ourselves first.  The shadow side of this gate is the fear of failing others, so we have a definite fear of letting others down if we don’t give them what they need.  That is a tough dynamic to work through, but one that is so important if we are to remain sustainable in our relationships, both with ourselves and with others.

I want to give you some affirmations today, tell you about my Shamanic healings that I am now offering, and then leave you with some journal prompts.

First, some affirmations:

• I am here to bring change to the world.

• I patiently cultivate my inspiration.

• I use my understanding of what is needed to help evolve the world.

• I take care of myself first in order to be able to help others.

• I trust in Divine timing.

The oracle cards weren’t really speaking to me today, so I thought I’d give you a quick synopsis of what Shamanic healing involves.  I know I’ve mentioned it in all my episodes, but I thought explaining it a little would help you better understand why I feel it’s so important and helpful in healing.

Shamanic healing is a spiritual and energetic practice originating from ancient indigenous traditions worldwide. Shamans act as intermediaries between the physical and spiritual realms, using techniques like journeying, energy clearing, soul retrieval, and working with spirit guides to restore balance and healing.

Some common Shamanic Healing Techniques include:

Soul Retrieval:  

When we experience trauma, heartbreak, or deep loss, parts of our soul may "leave" to protect us.  A shaman journeys to retrieve and reintegrate these lost soul fragments, restoring wholeness. Signs you may need soul retrieval include feeling empty, disconnected, stuck in the past, or like something is "missing."

Energy Clearing & Extraction:

Negative energies, entities, or emotional imprints can get stuck in our energy field. The shaman removes energetic intrusions and clears blockages, allowing energy to flow freely again.

Ancestral Healing: 

Sometimes, we carry ancestral wounds, patterns, or karma passed down through generations. Shamanic healing can release inherited trauma and bring peace to both the individual and their lineage.

I am a Full Mesa Shaman, trained in the sacred Shamanic traditions of the Medicine Wheel as passed down by the Shamans of the Peruvian Andes.

Who Can Benefit from Shamanic Healing?

• Those experiencing emotional pain, trauma, or feeling "stuck."

• People dealing with soul loss, grief, depression, or lack of purpose.

• Those wanting to clear energetic blockages or remove negative influences.

• Anyone seeking deeper spiritual connection, guidance, or transformation.

So if any of that resonates with you, and if you would like more information, please reach out.  I’d love to connect with you.  

Finally, I will leave you with some journal prompts to ponder this week:

• Where has Divine timing worked out in your life?

• If the opportunity to share your ideas with the world presented itself today, would you be ready?  If not, what would you have to do to get ready?

• How do you feel about taking care of yourself first?

• How do you sustain your nurturing energy?

• Do you feel guilty about taking care of yourself first?  If so, can you remove that guilt, if only for a short time, and do something loving for yourself?

On that note, I encourage you to do one thing this week that really nurtures you.  Do it GUILT-FREE, and then tell me about it.  I’d love to hear how you take care of yourself.

My next episode will drop on April 22nd when the sun is in Gate 27 - the Gate of Accountability and the Earth is in Gate 28, the Gate of Adventure/Challenge.  Until then, take good care, do something special to nurture yourself, and we’ll see you soon.
