me & Source

as far as purpose goes, it took me a minute to find mine. went to school & got three degrees. had a child. did the average 9a-5p & the part-times on the side. came out as queer & found my voice. my healing journey stopped & started, started & stopped soul many times. I tried antidepressants, open mics & herbal refreshments (cue Tai from 1995's "Clueless", iykyk!!! lol). then came yoga, running & pilates to honor my physical body. my shadows crept up & guided me to look within. so came journaling, crystals, tarot, reiki, tapping, astrology & at the very end, rest. as time continued to fly, spiritual alignment became my high. looking up to the sky, feeling grateful & grounded, I smiled, my purpose came alive. it took me a minute to find mine & it came in the divine time to remind you that "YOUR SOUL DESERVES TO SHINE!!!"

Pick a card with me

my journey with tarot divination began with my maternal grandfather. he was a known brujo & tarot diviner in the Dominican Republic back in the 1940’s. he passed away when i was 16. there is a vague memory where he had a stack of tarot cards deck stashed away in the back of the hallway closet. my mom was livid. she threw them away in fear. I grew up under heavy Catholic teachings in NYC, I was always low-key skeptical of the language used in those sermons. the energy always seemed off to me. in prayer my grandfather came to me & I was told it’s bigger than this. I was in the process of making a major life decision & I didn’t know who to turn to so I got a tarot reading. the information I received was enough confirmation to take the leap of faith to trust that my son & I will be okay. a few years later I gifted myself with my own tarot deck. my grandfather presented himself to me via tarot cards. his spirit LITERALLY came out of the cards. it was one of the most wild ways an affirmation came to me. since then i’ve used tarot for most decisions and invite my elevated ancestors and spirit guides to shine light on messages i need to know. that’s how i landed here, sharing my gifts with you all, reminding you to move with ease and flow.

Connecting with Source

Reiki saved my life. i stand by that. it came in divine timing when my younger sister shared that she was starting an energy healing class, virtually. it was 2021 when the world was still facing the Covid19 pandemic. I was facing challenges with my mental health, going through a rough breakup, shadows & traumas from the past kept creepin’ up & i was desperate to leave my job yet too afraid to raise a son without a conventional 9a-5p. lockdown was still tight. a time where community was so necessary as so many felt & were alone. my intentional healing journey had officially started when i said “that’s long enough time now. look at what’s happening in the world”. fortunate & blessed to have had my family healthy, i also recognized that i needed support to make whatever shift, was necessary. i took the leap of faith & went on antidepressants. it was too big a quilt of traumatized emotions & the opportunity to address my Central Nervous System came thru via medication. it was the ultimate dedication. i’ve never committed to myself in that way. i felt empowered. around 3 months of being on medication, i experienced a physiological revelation & all of a sudden i could HEAR my thoughts clearly. then i made another commitment to myself, “i won’t be on this much longer”. i committed to learning different ways to help myself feel better. cue in Reiki.

the first class i attended, lowkey, i was sus. i questioned the theory around Reiki & its history. once i allowed myself to open & flow, i learned the history of a beautiful ancient energy healing medicine practice, attunement & facilitating the healing work for others.

EFT Tap with Me

years after learning Reiki, i was ready to move on to the next adventure. how else can i add to my skill set? what other resources can i add to my toolkit of healing? In 2019, i started learning about the algorithm on social media and using it to verse myself on tarot. doom scrolling one night, the algorithm aligned me with a tarot diviner & espiritista. she posted about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT Tapping) and facilitated a short Tapping session. as i watched her tap her fingers along the meridian channels of the body, i was transfixed with the release of energy i felt, even through the phone. EFT Tapping technique is a form of acupuncture based on TCM. this technique targets meridian points in the hands, face, chest, torso and the top of the skull. driving home, on the highway, after work one day, i experienced a panic attack. I pulled over to the shoulder & cried. some time passed, tears continued to cascade down my face, i placed my hands on my chest & my inner voice whispered “tap”. as i tapped along my channel points, my nerves chilled out & finally got back on the road, safely. EFT Tapping stimulated my Central Nervous System with the vibrations. very useful for regulating any anxiety/panic that creeps up.
