About Ancient Instincts

Nature and all life is sacred.  Mind, body and spirit are connected; influencing each other in subtle ways at the energetic level.  Ancient, indigenous medicine traditions honor our birthright to achieve healing and spiritual evolvement. These traditions identify and address the core issue(s) and heal at a profound soul level; providing freedom from disease, pain, trauma and unhealthy patterns while establishing a firm foundation for continued positive growth.       

Sacred indigenous traditions honor and revere the Divine Feminine – Creatrix, Womb of the Universe and Giver of All Life.  When we commune with and learn to embody these powerful, ancient energies we shed all that does not serve us, heal from trauma and disease and find our birth right as Children of the Sun; attaining balance between our Father above, Mother below and ourselves within. When we are able to shed the past as an act of love, learning and forgiveness we are able to heal, resurrect harmony and balance in our lives and apply what we have learned to future challenges.  We are then able to assist others and accept our responsibility as stewards of our Sacred Earth Mother (Pacha Mama) and all life upon her, positively influencing future generations.  Through reconnection with our Earth Mother, Cosmic Energies and our True Self we are able to heal, resurrect abundance and harmony in our lives and become open channels of Spirit’s healing, light and love for others.
