Physically, my practice has never been harder. Everything hurts. The arm i broke last year clicks every time i try to straighten it. I’m so tight in my hips, hamstrings, and shoulders after not moving my body for an entire year 🤯 But I’ve never felt such an emotional impact in my practice as i do now💖 My body can tell me where it needs to move before my head does. . Crying in Savasana is nothing new for me, but stretching out my shoulders & hips, and opening my heart ‘til tears come out is a totally different experience. The fact that i got this headstand up for even 2 seconds after such an emotional practice is way beyond me..✨. . This practice always teaches me something, & it’s definitely always changing. “Peeling back the layers” has a whole new meaning after consciously choosing a healing path... and it feels so damn good🙏🏽 .

Pursuing a path of healing and reaching the knitty griddy parts of the shadow & soul, is the most profound experience in this lifetime. After all, that is what we all came here to do. To learn💫 Since acknowledging and prioritizing the importance of this healing path, my life has turned upside down. I have been able, and continue, to learn and knock down limiting beliefs that have kept me stagnant for so long. I am not here to make you believe my life is perfect now. I am still human and have so much more to learn. But i will say that once you make the decision to pursue a path of healing, you’ll learn that your spirit guides, angels (whatever you call them) will send you abundance in many different forms🌻 In my own experience, the hardships the Universe has presented to me have been the most rewarding. The lessons learned are so profound, and help me to remove myself from toxic patterns and cycles, so that i can get a step closer to my greatest and highest self. With that, I am so happy to share all that i learn in my path of healing on this little platform❤️ and even happier to continue this path of learning. Feeling so blessed 🙏🏽 and diggin’ my new hairs 💇🏻‍♀️ Happy Saturday 💜 #healing #gratitude #spiritualawakening #spiritualawakeningisreal #newhairs https://www.instagram.com/p/B7efcrLHyD9/?igshid=2n7qjw0adf5k

Want to reduce stress and anxiety? Do you ever catch yourself taking on other people’s emotion’s, but don’t know how to release them? Do you want to implement a healing process but don’t know where to start? Treat yourself & try out a Distance Reiki session with me 🌈 Reiki energy healing is an ancient Japanese practice that focuses on clearing our 7 main chakras, (aka energy fields) of any blockages that can be effecting our every day lives. When our chakras are in balance, we are able to move through life with a bit more clarity and ease. Through Reiki, i was able to reduce my stress levels, surface childhood trauma, and repressed emotions to begin a path of healing. It really changed my life for the better💜 Now as a Reiki II practitioner, I am honored to be able to assist others in starting their healing process. Starting next week (Jan 19, 2020) i will have 3 sessions a week, available for booking. Each session is $40 and will be done from a distance. (Meaning, you can soak in this experience in the comfort of your own home🏡 ) If interested, or want to book, shoot over a DM to discuss further details and/or any questions you might have. This is the year of transformation and growth- you deserve to heal and evolve into your highest selves. Happy healing y’all ✨ Website coming soon💫 #healing #gratitude #reikihealer #reiki #reiki2practitioner #spiritualawakening #spiritualawakeningisreal https://www.instagram.com/p/B7aB0KXHK5b/?igshid=1x0d0oywal0gg

Left: 20yrs old 〰️ Right: 30yrs old. Same girl- Same smile - Different perspective on life🌱 This decade hasn’t been all puppies and rainbows, but it has been the most exhilarating time of my life. It’s been beautiful, chaotic, magical, messy, non-stop, stagnant, light, dark, raw and so full of LOVE. Love being a magical soul living this human experience🌎 This next decade has BIG shoes to fill, but I have no doubt it’ll be anything short of amazing✨ #goodbye2010s 🤘🏽#healing #gratitude #spiritualawakening #spiritualawakeningisreal https://www.instagram.com/p/B6tlRzent2q/?igshid=91k1jv2h5di8

The only way out is in. I’ve found this to be so very accurate in my healing process the last few years. As humans and multi-dimensional beings, not only do we carry traumas from childhood, but we also carry generational traumas of our ancestors and past lives. We are really starting to wake up as a collective - so we can dive deep in to our healing process and use these traumas to ascend, or we can continue to carry them and keep stagnant. The choice is ours. 2019 i made it my mission to HEAL, understand my purpose in this lifetime, and help others do the same, therefore; starting Jan 2020, i will be offering affordable Reiki/energy healing sessions for anyone who is ready to do the same and start this healing process. As a Reiki II practitioner (not a Master) i was a bit hesitant of this decision at first. But with the collective being forced to wake up this next decade, i really don’t have time to sit here and doubt this calling any longer. This healing modality is what really activated my healing process years ago- and is very dear to my heart. So anyone who is interested, stay tuned for more info. HAPPY HEALING and Happy last Winter Solstice of the decade✨ What a beautiful time to be alive 🌎 #healing #gratitude #spiritualawakening #spiritualawakeningisreal #5d #ascension #lightworker #wintersolstice2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/B6UpQ2UHp01/?igshid=1sbgv10r5v03n

What a beautifully abundant day 🤩 Moving to Florida this time around has been solely based on trusting my intuition. And big synchronicities have taken place just in the little time I’ve been here to confirm all my actions thus far. But even then, it’s still hard to constantly trust, and to try to explain your decisions to loved ones. . A few months back, i bought tickets to go see @itskrista and @lindseysimcik for the @almost30podcast tour in Miami 💯 I didn’t have to think twice, as they talk all things spirituality and kept my hour and 15 min commute to work interesting and inspiring. I had no idea they were having a guest speaker until 2 nights ago. And of course it was @nikkinovo talking about how to follow your intuition. Being in a room full of like-minded women, & my BEST FRIEND 🥰 was just another sign that I’m on the right path. . Thank you, Krista and Lindsey for bringing together a community of souls yearning to wake up and crack open the hearts of others 💓 Thank you Nikki for being so real and sharing your story. It’s nice to see someone who continues to walk this intuitive path, despite the difficulties of going against the grain✨And shout out to my bestie for spending the day in Miami with me and opening up your heart to this awesome experience👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼 I love you forever. #blessed https://www.instagram.com/p/B5_9O-0nAkS/?igshid=etfitcjxc82g

Goodbye VA❤️It’s. Been. Real. I tried multiple times to run away in the past. All unsuccessful, as I had some wounds to care for & some lessons to learn. After a ton of self care & healing, I planned on leaving again.. but things just kept “coming up.” Some of the road blocks were a bit frustrating, but i continued to trust that it’d all work to my favor. Then boom- i somehow managed to manifest blessing after blessing after blessing in a very short period of time. Now I get to leave in peace, and with a knowing that i have built a strong foundation in this place i can gratefully call home. - FL🍊Im coming for ya! again. Since i was a little girl, something about FL has always ignited my soul. I’m finally giving myself the chance to explore this calling whole heartedly💝 with no end date. Planning things kind of goes out the window when you start to follow your intuition. I’m a woman on a mission to be of service to humanity somehow, and i know there is something in FL waiting to contribute to this mission, however long it may take. If I’m being honest, I’ve never felt so terrified.. but i am thrilled and SO ready🌴🌊☀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B5a6OtkHb3w/?igshid=yxl0mn40i1l8

My greatest teacher✨ - - I’ve watched this video SO many times😂 she is growing way faster than i can handle. Every time I see her, it’s like meeting a whole new little-big person. I was in a very dark place in my life when she was born- and she brought me so much light. I don’t think she’ll ever truly know how much i love her, but I’ll spend the rest of my life showing her. #gordabella💕 #rebeccavictoria #heraccenttho 😩❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B5T4PThH6W-/?igshid=1vtc9chce3ehw

This is my Mesa. 13 kuyas (stones) 1 Shaman kuya- 1 journey kuya- 1 potentials kuya- 3 ancestor kuyas- 1 invisibility kuya- 1 timelessness kuya- 1 Apu kuya- 3 dream kuyas- and 1 lineage kuya. Every class we worked with 3 kuyas. Really diving deep into the healing of ourselves and our ancestors. Our kuyas held everything for us and helped us really connect to ourselves and to all beings. My Shaman kuya helped me let go of karmic life themes that have been playing out in the lives of my ancestors and also in mine. My journey kuya gave me access to the upper and lower world, and got me in connection with my spirit animal 🦈 My potentials kuya helped me connect with the greater possibilities of my life and guided me to my safe place in the middle world. My 3 ancestor kuyas helped me connect with my grandma, great grandpa & great grandma (this was SO incredible.) My invisibility kuya helped me let go of roles i play on this earth- i no longer have to carry the weight of any title (daughter, sister, aunt, friend, etc) i am ME and that is all I’ll ever be. My timelessness kuya went into a fire and took the burden of the trauma that could potentially arise in the future. My Apu (mountain) kuya gifted me visions of a mountain that has been sending me healing energy throughout this lifetime & possibly others, that i hope to find one day. My dream kuyas held space for all the dreams I’ve carried in my heart. And last but not least, my lineage kuya was gifted from my Shaman with her blood on it. I slept with this Mesa. I was so proud of it. It held the stories i no longer had to hold. It held all the trauma i was able to heal through Shamanic ceremony. I unknowingly became attached to my Mesa until the last day of Shaman school. Our last day, we had a ceremony where the Shaman gathered all the energies of all our kuyas and threw it up to space. We had to sit and meditate with each of our kuyas and bring their energy back after their long journey’s. They were cleansed in space. Releasing all of my hard work out into the cosmos. Everyone seemed to have brought all their kuyas back, but i was struggling. (Cont in comments👇🏽) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4psMOGHm1h/?igshid=ukz7b8kamt5
