Using a unique approach to shamanic healing rooted in the transformative power of love and prayer…

And activate your full potential and connection with the Divine within.

What You'll Learn During “The Integration of Love, Prayer & Psychedelic Plant Medicines”

Have you had psychedelic experiences that offered a profound glimpse of a more sacred way of being… yet struggled to bring those insights back into your daily life in a practical way?

For many, these profound experiences have failed to produce profound, long-lasting shifts.

Simply having more amazing experiences doesn’t necessarily change anyone for the better — it may just lead to addiction to experiences.

Instead, what if you embarked on your journey of working with sacred medicines as a prayer practice, one that is consecrated to the Divine, in service to your soul?

That is what Dr. Ali Maya offers: an approach to working with psychoactive medicines that is 100% a spiritual path — with every word, insight, and action infused with the intention that they contribute to the liberation of all beings.

Ali is a clinical psychologist, healer, and ceremonialist whose prayers have literally inspired thousands. As she likes to say, “It is ALL ceremony.”

If we approach the full journey of integration as a prayerful extension of the original ceremony, we no longer see the effects of plant medicine as primary. It’s the effects of our ongoing practice that ultimately spells the difference between an intriguing experience and a transformed life.

A lot of people in the psychedelic healing field talk about integration these days, yet too often that’s seen mainly through a psychological lens (as important as that is). We might journal, meditate, dance, or do art to help us stay connected.

Yet, what if you approached the entire period before and after an experience as a ceremony of prayer in which you are consecrating your whole body-mind-spirit to a new level of awakened depth, beauty, and love?

How might your journey of integration look different?

You’d use the few hours of a journey as a point of embarkation into your truest essence and authentic purpose — the ignition of your transformative journey of inner exploration and healing.

Stresses and tensions would melt away as surely as winter gives way to spring. You’d no longer be trying to keep up with the never-ending demands of a fast-paced world. You’d be living in a state of reverence for the Divine and for all of life.

From that state of consciousness, you could live with more sacred intention and holy purpose, laser-focused on what truly matters, while letting go of the rest.

This new life may not be what society tells you to strive for, but it’s the one that would feel most authentic to you.

Ali, who has more than 25 years of experience in world mysticism traditions, combines her academic training in clinical psychology, Buddhist studies, and comparative mysticism with the wisdom of Indigenous healers from North and South America.

Her passion for the alleviation of human suffering and the opening of the human heart has led her to create music, guide retreats, and teach programs that help create a healthier and happier world for all.

Ali is truly one of the wisest and most luminous and grounded guides to understanding how to work with plant medicines as a spiritual path.

What You'll Learn During “Explore the Power of Healing Well and Unwell Ancestors”

“Our ancestors are not in our imagination, our religion, or our nationality. They are in our blood, and this blood flows into the past and the future.” — Christina Lee Pratt

You have the power to heal yourself and your lineage…

… to transform your life, your health, your destiny, your family and relationships, and even our beautiful Earth.

Whether imprinted in your DNA, held in the unresolved issues of the dead, or taught through our cultural narrative… both ancestral wounds and wisdom can be passed on for generations.

According to Christina Lee Pratt, YOU can heal your lineage with the help of your ancestors.

Christina, a shamanic healer, author, and teacher for more than 30 years, is known for her highly practical approach, humor, and experiential processes that create lasting change.

A pioneer in new shamanic techniques and rituals that address the physical, mental, emotional, and cultural dis-eases of our times, she holds the unique and pioneering wisdom that can help you engage with your predecessors on the other side of the veil…

… and carry forward the power of their healing wisdom.

Join Christina during this free online spiritual growth event, where she’ll share how to access all of your ancestors, well and unwell — human or otherwise — and ask for their guidance.

She’ll illustrate how, through ritual, journeying, and shrine cultivation, you can enter into “right relationship” with your well ancestors, and enlist their help to clear any stagnant, unresolved energies that were passed down from your unwell ancestors.

Class Topics for “Explore the Power of Healing Well and Unwell Ancestors”

In this empowering hour, you’ll discover:

• A transformative guided journey to connect you with the Realm of the Luminous Ones and return as an “emissary” of the good, true, and beautiful ancestors
• A down-to-earth, active, and practical approach to ancestral healing that incorporates journeying, shrine tending, rituals, and daily prayers
• How the unhealed wounds and narratives of your ancestors may be playing out in your life and your health
• Insights to help you understand the important distinctions between well and unwell ancestors, so that you can work effectively with them to heal your lineage for generations to come
• Ritual practices that allow you to engage with elemental energies — to heal past wounds and transform our collective future

Learn How to Partner With Your Ancestors for Healing

Christina will show you how your ancestors can be sources of clarity, resilience, and joy for you — when you know how to lovingly draw on their skills and bravery to live a more authentic life and express your soul’s purpose.

Our ancestors who struggled against the oppressive circumstances of their time, were enslaved, or were the enslavers or oppressors, experienced unhealed trauma, depression, illness, or addiction… and may have passed down those same challenges to the generations that followed.

Christina believes that the traumas they endured, or inflicted, are continuing to manifest in the world today, and they show up in all the heartbreaking headlines we see in the news.

It’s Christina’s belief that it’s our unwell ancestors who created the systemic patterns that are causing this turmoil.

Our ancestors who lived well, who left their affairs in order and their relationships reconciled, or who were honored as positive forces for change, can share their distinct wisdom with you and be your greatest allies in healing the painful issues you face — and do the same for the societal suffering that’s happening all around us.
Unhealthy patterns in your family line can now end with you.

Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to begin healing your life and your lineage with Christina, whose mission is to draw on the foundational wisdom of ancient peoples so we can rise with innovation and creativity to meet the collective challenges of today.

What You'll Learn During “Spiritual Healing Using Mayan Cosmology”

We each have a destiny given to us at birth, according to the Mayans.

To fully embrace your destiny, you must learn to seek guidance from your ancestors on your spiritual journey, says Grandmother Flordemayo, beloved curandera espiritu (healer of divine spirit) and revered Mayan elder.

Join this free online event to hear Grandmother Flordemayo share how she receives sacred messages from the Cosmos and transmutes them into prayers.

She’ll also share how numbers have always held profound spiritual significance in the Mayan culture, specifically the number 13. According to the Mayans, there are four cycles of life, each comprising 13 years. The four seasons each have 13 weeks, there are 13 cycles of the moon each year, and most women have 13 menstrual cycles per year. And Grandmother Flordemayo is a member of the International Council of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers.

The number 13 has been appearing in Grandmother Flordemayo’s life in new ways, and may be appearing in yours too.

She will also reveal the Mayan murmurio (sacred prayer and sound hum) her mother handed down to her long ago — and share it with you so you can use it on your own spiritual journey.

With Grandmother Flordemayo as your guide, you’ll experience how the murmurio turns your essence into sound, encompassing your spirituality, your ancestors, and honoring the cycles of life throughout your past, present, and future.

As you follow along with the murmurio practice, you’ll have the chance to feel the magical, healing power of sound that can carry the message of love and light to humanity.

Join us and surrender to the moment as you learn to seek wisdom from your ancestors — and recognize that those who came before you are spiritual anchors who can help you fulfill your purpose.

Class Topics for “Spiritual Healing Using Mayan Cosmology”

During Spiritual Healing Using Mayan Cosmology, you’ll:

• Feel the magical power of sound while following along with Grandmother Flordemayo’s guided murmurio (sacred humming practice) that was handed down to her by her mother — and learn how you can use it on your own spiritual path
• Learn where you fit into the Universe’s epic cosmology — the past, present, and future of the great story that’s unfolding
• Discover the surprising magic behind the number 13 — where it appears again and again in nature, in the Cosmos… and in Grandmother Flordemayo’s life, as well as your own
• Explore how the Mayan Ceiba (sacred Tree of Life) symbolizes the Universe itself — including the Earth and your own past, present, and future
• Hear the story of Grandmother Flordemayo’s recent vision of stepping through the doorway of the Cosmos, and trusting that the Universe is caring for us all throughout the cycles of life

Grandmother Flordemayo is beloved for following her inner guidance as Spirit speaks through her — revealing and sharing exactly what each of us needs to receive in the moment.

During this powerful hour, Grandmother Flordemayo will explain how you can open up to prayer at any time, receiving sacred messages from the Cosmos and your ancestors to use in your life at this very moment. This sacred event will unfold spontaneously, as another part of the great mystery.

Beloved seeker and chantress Nina Rao believes that we’re all longing for sanctuary, a place of refuge. This place, she says, lives within each of us, and we can access it through the daily discipline of a devotional chanting practice.

• The confidence and calm you find are the sanctuary, and become yours to carry through the day.
• The divine influence of this sacred place permeates your being.
• You trust that you will continue saying yes to life no matter what it delivers to your door.

About Your Kirtan Teacher – Nina Rao

Nina Rao learned traditional chants (bhajans) from her grandfather in a village in South India when she was nine years old. Her childhood was spent living in and moving between many countries around the world. Prior to rediscovering chanting with Krishna Das in New York in 1996, she worked in banking before switching to organizing and leading photographic wildlife safaris in Africa and India. For many years, she has been Krishna Das’ business manager and accompanist as well as a chant leader in her own right.

Nina tours with Krishna Das, playing cymbals and singing with him. In 2007, she recorded the track “Nina Chalisa” on Krishna Das’ CD Flow of Grace: Chanting the Hanuman Chalisa. In January 2013, she released her debut album, Antarayaami: Knower of All Hearts, which includes a duet with Krishna Das. Later that year, she was honored to accompany him at the Grammy Awards webcast performance. Her second album, Anubhav, released in 2018, was entirely crowdfunded.

For over 20 years she has supported conservationists in preserving the sacred wilderness and forests of India via her charity, Saving Wild Tigers. Nina regularly leads kirtan, chanting in Hanuman Chalisa workshops and retreats in her hometown of Brooklyn, New York, and beyond.

The calling you feel in your heart is real!

It’s time to raise your consciousness so you can transform your life and assist humanity in accessing the 5th dimension.

Because like Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

This means that you can’t create a global shift or a transformation in your life from the 3rd dimension (the space of separation and limitation) and expect to obtain 5th dimensional results.

So, what if beyond 3rd dimension limited thinking, there was a dimension of pure magic and miracles, where everything was possible for you…

And accessing this dimension would allow you to function outside of the rules of time and physical reality to create change in your life and the world…

Would you be interested in learning how to get there?

That's what we'll learn during this free 3-part livestream workshop, “Manifesting 5th Dimensional Magic in Your Life.”

Schedule of Live Calls – 5th Dimensional Manifesting

During these 3 Livestream calls, you'll be guided step-by-step through a series of powerful activations that will ultimately free you from your past and enable you to leap into another dimension.

Call 1: “The Magic of 5th Dimensional Prayer: The Do’s & Don'ts of How to Create Change in the World” – September 14th, 6pm Pacific

As you watch the news, do you find yourself reacting to or resisting the current reality? Do you feel angry and want to fight the injustice? Do you feel sickened by the pollution, deforestation, fires, hurricanes, and destruction happening to our Mother Earth?

Maybe you decided to ignore the news all together, because you feel helpless and defeated that you can’t make a difference. Fortunately, you can make a difference and during this call Rikka will show you how… and it's almost certainly not what you are expecting.

Call 2: “Collapsing Timelines in the 5th Dimension: Invest Your Energy Into a Different Reality” – September 16th at 6pm Pacific

If you could, would you choose to rewrite your history? What if you didn’t have to regret the past, you could simply change it.

Quantum physics shows us that there are infinite possibilities, existing through infinite realities. Rikka will show you how to consciously choose to exit out of your past reality and into your chosen reality.

Call 3: “Breaking the Laws of Physical Reality in the 5th Dimension: Bending the Fork Demonstration” – September 22ND, 6pm Pacific

Rikka will break the limitation of physical reality by bending a fork and in doing so, you will receive the energetic transmission to unlock your own physical reality!

It’s a jaw-dropping exercise that your mind can hardly believe. But once you process what’s possible, you can’t undo the *knowing!*

You get it at a deep cellular level that if you can transform the metal of a fork so it bends, you can transform any area of your life.

You can transform your money situation, your relationships, your health, your career, anything. It’s going to be an incredible celebration on the Autumn Equinox, full of (filled with?) mind-bending magic and life-altering activations!

In many communities, spiritual seekers often turn to a curandero, a traditional shamanic healer and practitioner of the Indigenous folk healing system of curanderismo.

The curandero is often a leader in the local community — and a source of healing, wisdom, and connection to the Divine.

We're honored to invite you to a new online workshop with Grandmother Flordemayo, a beloved curandera espiritu, or a healer of divine spirit.

She was raised with the knowledge that each prayer unfolds right at the moment.

As you’ll feel during your hour with Grandmother Flordemayo, her prayers are a profoundly collective experience, yet her authenticity and humility allow the prayers to flow through her and each person differently.

It’s all part of the great mystery.

The post Receive Mayan Healing Prayers & a Sacred Water Ceremony Led by a Legendary Elder – With Grandmother Flordemayo appeared first on Spiritual Growth Events.

While out to sea, a large boat became shipwrecked and there was only a single survivor. This man prayed and asked God to save his life. Soon thereafter, another boat came by and offered the man some help.

“No thanks,” he said. “I'm waiting for God to save me.”

The men on the boat shrugged their shoulders and continued. As the man became more deeply concerned, another boat came by. Again, the people aboard offered this man some help, and again he politely decline. “I'm waiting for God to save me,” he said again.

After some time, the man began to lose his faith, and soon after that he died. Upon reaching Heaven, he had a chance to speak with God briefly.

“Why did you let me die? Why didn't you answer my prayers?”

“Dummy, I sent you two boats!”

What Is the Spiritual Meaning of the “Drowning Man And God's Messages Of Hope” Story?

The Universe is always watching out for the best interests of our spiritual evolution, even when we are too narrowly focused to see all the other opportunities it presents us. Sometimes, all that is needed is a change of perspective.

This parable, akin to a whisper from the heavens, invites us to ponder the complexities of divine intervention and the channels through which it flows. It beckons us to contemplate the intricate dance between our prayers and the responses we receive, often in forms we least expect.

In the unfolding drama of this tale, a man faces the abyss of peril, clinging to hope and beseeching the divine for deliverance. Yet, as fate would have it, salvation presents itself not in a grandiose, ethereal manifestation, but in the humble form of passing boats, emissaries of divine providence in the material realm. Despite their arrival, the man's steadfast faith, paradoxically, becomes the veil obscuring his perception of the divine answer.

This narrative transcends the boundaries of its characters to unravel the fabric of our own spiritual journeys. It implores us to question whether our quest for divine intervention sometimes blinds us to the very lifelines extended by the universe. How often do we anticipate salvation in extravagant forms, failing to recognize the subtle whispers of grace manifesting in our lives?

The man's unwavering conviction, while commendable in its fervor, serves as a cautionary reflection. It mirrors moments in our own lives where we await divine intervention, oblivious to the ordinary vessels that carry extraordinary blessings. The essence lies not in the absence of divine response, but in our capacity to discern its diverse manifestations, even in the mundane.

This parable offers an invitation for introspection—a moment to reevaluate our perception of answered prayers. It urges us to relinquish the confines of expectation, allowing our hearts to perceive the divine's subtle whispers, often shrouded in the garments of ordinary occurrences.

Ultimately, this story echoes a resounding truth: divine intervention is not always clothed in the extraordinary but is often veiled within the tapestry of the ordinary. It beckons us to open our hearts and minds to the myriad forms through which the universe answers our fervent prayers—a lesson in recognizing the divine in the seemingly mundane, a testament to the interconnectedness of faith and action.

Personal Reflection Questions

Spiritual stories are an opportunity to reflect on your own life. Here are 10 questions you can use to go deeper with the teachings in this story:

1. Reflect on instances in your own life when you may have been waiting for a specific solution or intervention, unaware that help was already present in a different form. What can this story teach you about recognizing opportunities for assistance?
2. Consider the man's unwavering faith in a specific outcome. How does this resonate with moments in your life when you held steadfast beliefs about how a situation should unfold? Were there missed opportunities due to such fixed perspectives?
3. Explore the theme of divine intervention versus the subtle, everyday ways in which assistance might manifest. In what ways can you become more attuned to the unexpected sources of support that may be present in your life?
4. Reflect on the man's rejection of help from the two boats. Have there been times when pride, stubbornness, or a fixed mindset hindered your ability to accept help or recognize solutions? What were the consequences?
5. Ponder the role of faith in the story. How does the man's faith evolve, and how might this relate to your own experiences of faith or trust in uncertain situations?
6. Consider the humor in God's response. How might a sense of humor or lightness help you navigate challenges and unexpected twists in your own life?
7. Reflect on the idea of divine guidance appearing in unexpected forms. Are there instances in your life where solutions or opportunities came in forms you didn't initially recognize? How did you adapt?
8. Explore the concept of surrender and acceptance in the face of unforeseen circumstances. How can you cultivate a balance between holding onto faith and being open to alternative paths that life may present?
9. Consider the man's sense of regret upon reaching Heaven. Are there past situations in your life where hindsight revealed missed opportunities or moments of divine intervention? What can you learn from these reflections?
10. Reflect on the broader theme of gratitude for the help that comes our way. How can you cultivate a mindset of appreciation for the various forms of assistance, even if they may not align with your initial expectations or preferences?

The post The Drowning Man And God Sent Two Boats appeared first on Spiritual Growth Events.

Marianne Williamson‘s quote is at the heart of our relationship with God. Most frequently when we pray, we ask for something.

We ask for an answer to our situation, be it a health issue, financial challenges, or to help ease our emotional pain.

The thing is, prayer has so much more potential than just what we ask for. Sometimes prayer is about what we can give or who we can become.

These quotes below aren't all just about praying for a miracle. They're also about the relationship between our prayers and the miracles we seek. Sometimes we are the miracle we're seeking, we just don't know it yet.

It would be a mistake to read these quotes and do nothing. Instead, try each one on for size. Challenge yourself to actually live each prayer.

Today, pick one prayer. Apply it to your life for just today. Pretend to live as though that quote were absolutely true.

Then tomorrow, pick another one. Apply it. Live it.

Take a mental note of how each prayer makes you feel. Look at your life and see if you notice any positive changes, perhaps even miracles.

Then after you've tried on each miracle quote, pick your favorites… and use them more often in your prayers and life.

16 More Inspirational Quotes That Help Us Pray For Miracles

 “Yes, prayer is powerful and miracles come from it every day. But if we fail to pray, we make it nearly impossible to be who God wants us to be.” ~ J.W. Boggs

“When prayer becomes your habit, miracles become your lifestyle.” ~ Unknown

“Pray until your situation changes. Miracles happen every day, so never stop believing.” ~ Unknown

“Your positive thoughts are both the prayer, and the answer to your prayer.” ~ Bryant McGill

“Prayer is often a temptation to bank on a miracle of God instead of on a moral issue, i.e., it is much easier to ask God to do my work than it is to do it myself. Until we are disciplined properly, we will always be inclined to bank on God's miracles and refuse to do the moral thing ourselves. It is our job, and it will never be done unless we do it.” – Oswald Chambers
