And so it was that the mountains were to once again call me from my sleep. No negotiation was going to allow me to lay in my warm bed at 1am this morning “Louise it’s time, time to write and honour your journey” they whispered.
They began to connect me back to Uluru in Australia, reminding why it was I who was called there this time last year. My pounding heart was evocative of the deep responsibility and service I had agreed to. It washed over me with a sense of fear and exhaustion, but mainly honour. After an hour of trying to convince myself I could get away with ignoring them, their relentlessness meant I finally got up and went down stairs (because in truth, if they stopped speaking and using me as a channel, or if I felt failed on my callings, I would be devastated, so I knew I must listen and just get up!)
It was 2 years to the day that everything began to change for me, new paths were to open up and the shamanic journey was my call back to Earth. The path revealed itself to me, day by day, it prepared me for steps I never could have consciously dreamed of.
The winds on my back whispered reassurance, I listened and surrendered to their guidance. In 2016 they guided me to the Earth chakras all over the world and taught me how to collect the energy medicine. My work was to learn, grow, connect and teach this energy to those who are awakening to the shamanic calling.
This Work, This Medicine, is for those who are remembering that there is meaning to life beyond the material world. It is for those who realise they HAVE a PURPOSE, a REASON for being here. It is for those who deeply know they must become the change they wish to see in the world. Those who take this journey transform through their dreams. They will take journeys not just to lands, but deep into their heart and soul. They will see the other worlds through new eyes. They will learn beyond ego and experience deep transformations. Those with pure hearted intentions will become the hands reaching out into the darkness for others.
As my mountain (from Peru) pulled me from my pillow at 1am in the morning he showed me the sadness and fury I felt when I was speaking to the aboriginal people a year ago at Uluru (Australia, the Solar plexus of the Earth and the heart of Australia). As I touched the red sandy cave walls of sacred Uluru I was reminded of my deep connection to the lands from many, many lives.
I felt the awakening of the land within my body and the tremors of barbarian bloods flow through my veins. The tears of the First Nations flow through us all, the salt of those tears sting our own wounds, all over the world we feel it. The Medicine of the lands is here to heal, to bring peace and balance back to the earth. It is time to listen to her.
I was blind on this call, at the time I had no idea what an Earth Chakra was, or what song lines were (so it surprised me when I was in the Valley of the Winds at Kata-Tjuta singing songs that came from a place I had never felt before)
I was clueless as to why I had to visit a huge red rock in the middle of the desert, and laughed when I saw that my trip coincided with a full moon lunar eclipse just after the Equinox. I know there are no coincidences, but also I know I don’t always have to understand, just feel and trust. I had been gifted and guided to these places and I had already been in service to the mountains in Peru so I knew I just had to ‘show up’ and all would be revealed.
Remember, The Earth, she is a part of us all, while we walk upon her belly we must learn to live in a harmonious way. Uluru / Kata-Tjuta speak to me of celebration, showing me that this allows the flow of the chakra to spin faster, bringing more flow to the Rainbow Serpent. I am still unsure what all this means, I am simply the messenger. She wants us to celebrate with fun and laughter, to dance upon her belly around fires, bringing joy and gratitude for everything the energy awakens. Like your own awakening heart, love is the energy that overcomes the shadows that have controlled the world… we are all awakening and we all have a part to play in this.
