Hi beautiful sisters,

 

Please join me in the celebration of my Shaman's Birth. As you know, I am a Woman of Power (This is another name for a shaman, healer or spiritual teacher). Spiritual power is hard work, but there is one aspect of being a shaman that I absolutely love! As you release old baggage from the past, you can be re-born in this life, instead of dying to get a new life! Isn't that cool? I want to share the good news with you that I just experienced my second Shaman's Birth.  Find out all about it here.

 

My Shaman's Twin Birth

Art by Maria Mar(c)2010.

 

In this issue's feature article, I offer you a path to freedom from limiting beliefs. If you've been reading my newsletters and checking out my products, you know that this has been a recurrent theme in my teachings for this year. Withouth breaking free, there is no personal freedom! So check out the feature article.

 

In this issue's  LifeByte I answer the question "How can I overcome low self-esteem?"  And in the inspiring stories I feature the amazing story of Marion Luna Brem, who was given a death sentence when she got cancer, and instead birthed herself into health and success!

 

Oh, yes, and I am offering you the first option to become one of the 10 women mentoring with me this year, plus an mind-blowing discount, just for being our loyal subscriber.

 

And don't forget to read my blessing for you today before leaving this issue.

Are you One

of the 10 Women?

 

Click to read about this program.

 

 

I am now recruiting the 10 women who will enjoy one-on-one mentorship with me. This is the closest guidance relationship you can enjoy with me right now.

 

 

Some of you have been reading my articles for years. Some of you have gone to my live events. Some of you have purchased my products. Some may have even taken a healing session or coached with me for a season. I create many different offers to reach as many people as I can in as many formats as possible. I am here to inspire you to do your best.

 

I am also here to unleash your greatness. That's the other side of my life mission. But that is a tall order. It cannot be done in one event or with one product, no matter how good it is.

 

To unleash your greatness, I engage you in a deep transformational journey. I become your daily guide, helping you to look at your life with new eyes. I train you as a Huntress, training you in how to track down the false beliefs and self-sabotage patterns that are secretly working against you. This is a one-year journey to transform your life and create your dream!

 

You and I become partners in a life adventure that will have four outcomes:

 

1. You will get unstuck. You will stop holding back, spinning your wheels on place or burying your power, and you will flourish!

 

2. Your life/work design will be centered around your Unique Essence and will allow you to deliver your life purpose.

 

3. All the energy patterns and old beliefs that interfere with your success will be GOOOONE!

 

4. You will become UNSTOPPABLE!

 

I am opening my first life/work private mentorship program and I will be accepting only 10 women to mentor this year. These women must be R-E-A-D-Y for success. They must be 100% committed to transform their life/work design, dissolve those recurring problems and break free from what is holding them back.

 

I take my life purpose seriously. I want to pour my life energy, wisdom, immense love and powerful support into beings that will multiply this enormous energy invesment in my part by assuming their own leadership, creativity, personal joy and service to the world. I want women who will stay and who will do the hard work. Is this you?

 

If you are not ready or 100% committed to your life purpose or dream, you can skip this section now. This is not for the faint of heart, but for those determined to succeed on their own terms.

 

I have not yet opened the program officially. This is the first anyone hears about it!

 

I am announcing the mentorship here first, so that you as subscriber, can get the first opportunity.

 

Find out more about this mentorship here.

 

But not only that, ONLY for you,

I am offering a mind-blowing discount.

 

You will get a

$100 a month discount!

 

If you are a subscriber, and your heart and your gut tell you that you are one of those 10 women who will mentor with me to unleash their greatness in one year, don't hesitate. If you snooze, you loose! Read the page immediately, as everything you need to know is there. But do NOT purchase from the regular page.

My Shaman's Twin Birth

My Shaman's Twin Birth

Art by Maria Mar(c)2010

 

Join me in this great celebration of my new life.

As a shaman releases old baggage from the past, s/he can be re-born in this life, instead of dying to get a new life! I want to share the good news with you that I just experienced my second Shaman's Birth.

 

My first Shaman's Birth took place in the same day, April 30th, but in the year 1999. It was my birth into my Sacred Feminine Powers. I also released my negative habits of thought and my stance as a victim, becoming the conscious creator of my life. It took place six years after I began my shamanic training and it was also my graduation! I was born from the Moon, holder of the Sacred Feminine elemental forces.

 

Now I have experienced my second Shamanic Birth. This birth is a great occassion, as I experienced two awesome miracles. First, this was my Twin Birth. This means that I performed my Marriage of Power, completing the marriage of my Shakti and Shiva aspects, my male and female powers.

 

That by itself is awesome, as this means that you've become whole and able to manifest powerfully. But something even greater has taken place. I broke through the carcass that separated my conscious mind from my Divine I Am! This means that I am now consciously, directly and freely connected to my Universal True Self.

 

This time I was born from the River and the Trees, with Sun and Moon presiding (because of the Twin Birth.) The Rose was also presiding, as it embodies my Unique Essence and it is the alchemy of the Great Goddess Mother Creatress! Corazon Tierra, my apprentice (and creative/business partner) was my Comadrona. Also I was held by a chorus of stones and crystals as I did this amazing transmutation.

 

I tell you sisters and brothers, this feels excilarating and at the same time peaceful. It's like dancing in the cosmos while you are resting in a hammock!

 

So please, feel free to drop me a line, send me an egreeting, give me some feedback. I welcome your voice and presence in this celebration! On the right column you can click to contact me via social media. But why don't you simply email me now?!

What you are saying about...

 

The Root of All Healing

This month I've recommended this book and home study course by my friend and great healer Misa Hopkins.

Here's what you've been saying about this:

 

Thanks so much for sharing this with me Maria!! This book sounds very interesting and a great tool for learning more about yourSelf and deep seated beliefs that don't serve you anymore. Awesome! Much love to you!

 

Martha Graniello

 

This is a wonderful book full of great advice and insight. Even if we have a hard time actually curing a cut finger on the spot as Misa can do, her advice about revising the internal causes that incline us toward illness is something that works for all of us. I really treasure my copy of this book.

How can I overcome

low self-esteem

 

Question:

How can I overcome low self-esteem?

Asked by: Sherley
 

Answer:

Understand that the universe does not create anything unnecessary. The lowly worm helps break down the humus. The soil is loosened and mixed as the earthworm burrows through the ground. Thus, the worm is the great harvester of the tall trees and all that grows from the soil! Why would you be the only being without purpose or value on this universe?

 

Seen from this perspective, NOT to hold yourself in high esteem is an act of arrogance. You are judging that Earth Mother, that God or the Universal Consciousness, created something that is of no value just because you do not see the value in it.

 

Low self-esteem is learned. You were born being in touched with the stars, and knowing your place among them. Low self-esteem is a raggedy dress that others dumped over your radiance with their comments and put down. You have the power to release it.

 

"Yes, but how?" You are asking.

 

Use the power of your emotional Lighthouse.

 

Just as a lighthouse illuminates the ocean waters to bring ships to safe harbor, your emotions can illuminate your basic goodness to bring you to center and out of the Domestication Trance that stole your radiance consciousness.

 

Here's how.

  1. Instead of attaching your emotions to your learned habit of berating your own worth, shift into this reflection any time you feel a low self-esteem attack coming:

"Sacred Universe (or God, Goddess, Earth Mother), every being you create has a purpose in the evolution of this universe. I am listening and seeing to discover the purpose you intend with my creation and existence. I open my heart that you may ignite my love for the unique being you created in me."

  1. Instead of judging yourself, look at both, your strength and weaknesses, your success and failure, as part of the training that the Universe is giving you to prepare you for that purpose.

 

  1. Instead of giving in to the illusion of worthlessness or insufficiency, shift into seeing yourself as the Universal Mother sees you: her radiant child, born of her to bring a gift to the world. Concentrate on this gift and release the illusion.

Are you a Slave

to your Limitations?

 

How this may be damaging

your success and relationships
 

By Maria Mar(c)2010

 

Inside you there is a great leader, a wise expert and gorgeous diva. She is waiting for you to remove the limited beliefs and secret mantras that run through your mind, hiding her from your own view. Your true Act of Power is not to convince others or to show your power to the world. It is to find this power within you and embrace it. Once you do, you become a force of nature. Nothing can stop this force. Not "what they say." Not any obstacle on your way. Nothing. The only one stopping your power is YOU!

 

Read this article in my blog.



Do you crown your limitations, becoming their loyal slave?


Many of us are enslaved to our opinions, confusing what we think with who we are. This confusion leads us to defend our opinions as if they were the very essence of our identity. In this scenario, anyone who holds a different view is perceived as a thread to our existence.


If you are crowning your learned beliefs, fear-based emotions or habitual expectations and interpretations, then they become the Queen or King of your psyche, and you assign yourself the role of slave. This may seem unlikely, but it is in fact, fairly common. It is easy to see it in others, but very hard to see it in ourselves, and harder yet to change it.


Here I share some signs that you are crowning your limitations and some practical Shifts of Perceptions and responses that may help you reclaim your crown and become the true master of your mind.

Sign No. 1: Resistance
When you hear new concepts of explanations that seem impossible or strange to you, your immediate response is to counter them with your beliefs and opinions, using these as a shield to repel the new thoughts.


Shift No. 1: The Art of Receptivity
Click to read more.

Sign No. 2 Attachment
When you share your beliefs or perceptions, do you present them as they way you ARE, or as the way you see things right now?
Examples:
• This is just the way I am
• In my culture, family or line of work, this is the way we see it.
• I’m a pragmatic and do not believe in that esoteric stuff.


Shift No. 2: Detachment
Click to read more.

Sign No. 3: Feelings of inadequacy
When you have nothing to say or do not know what to say or do not know what others are talking about, you feel stupid; so you begin to talk about what you know and want to channel the conversation that way, to go back to your Comfort Zone.

Shift No. 3: Centering
CLick to read more.

Sign No. 4: Competitiveness
You position yourself from the start in a power place by quoting from great people, showing off your book-knowledge, dropping names or listing your qualifications. You keep the game in your court by making others compete with you. When someone contributes with a new knowledge or thought that you may not understand or know about, you immediately quote a new book or concept and bring the game to your field.


Shift No. 4: Collaboration
Click to read more.

Sign No. 5: Fear-based expectations
When you speak your truth, share your creativity or present your solutions, you feel exposed and vulnerable. To offset this feeling, you wrap your presentation in an envelope of excuses, justifications, quotes from authorities, statistics or pre-emptive attacks for those whom you expect will attack you.

Shift No. 5: The Art of Vulnerability
Click to read more.

Sign No. 6: Control Addiction
You need to be in control. If a conversation goes into a direction that is new to you or in which you do not excel, you feel very uncomfortable and immediately act to bring it into a field that you can control. If what you present is not accepted, you feel that you are losing control and you feel compelled to keep trying to convince others or find other means of staying in control. If others gain the spotlight, you feel that they are taking control away from you and you attack them or feel rejected.


Shift No. 6: Surrender

Your interpretation colors your perception. Your perception creates your world by affecting how you respond to any situation, and hence, the results. Free yourself from the limitations in your perception, and the sky is the limit!

Deciding to be courageous

 

Marion Luna Brem

 

In 1984, Marion Luna Brem was 30 years old and she was dying. Marion had cancer of the breast and cervix. She had undergone two surgeries in 11 weeks ~a mastectomy and hysterectomy. Now she was suffering the horrifying effects of chemotherapy.

 

Marion lost her hair, her savings and her husband. One day he walked out, saying he couldn't deal with the pressure any more.

 

Marion was left with two small boys and no means to support them. The doctors gave her 5 years to live, if she was really lucky.

 

What would you do if all of this tragedy launched at you, all at once?

 

Here's what Marion did.

 

She had worked as a receptionist once in a car dealership and had observed how car dealers only talked to the man, when she knew that the woman was a key decision-maker in what car the couple would get. So she sold her angle to a car dealer and in a short time became the Number One Salesperson (the only woman) in the salesforce. Her cancer went into remission.

 

Fast forward.

 

So in 1989, just 5 years after selling her first car, Marion created her own car dealership. "Love Chrysler" was born, complete with a heart logo on every car. Marion's motto: "It's not just the hearts on our cars, it's the hearts inside our people. We're spreading Love all over Texas!"
 

Fast forward again.


Marion's labor of love paid off handsomely. Today, she is cancer-free, is the owner of two car dealerships, and recently celebrated the 11th anniversary of Love Chrysler. Her company is 89th on the Hispanic Business 500 with revenues of more than $45 million.
 

Here's Marion's advise to you:

"Get up in the morning. Look in the mirror. Decide to be courageous today."
