Healing Quest 2013

We just completed our 13th annual Healing Quest. Our theme, as always, is Unity and our mission: Healing and Awakening the Human Soul. This is a personal task, as well as a planetary one and begins with each individual Quester.

This summer we had twelve courageous Healing Questers 100% willing to delve deeply into their own unique soulscapes and shed any heavy energy that was keeping them bound. Bound in what? Dysfunctional lives affecting their happiness, health and freedom.

These are the lives that died: A life of shame. A life of doubt and denial. A life of fear of walking her unlimited purpose. A life of self-imposed limitations. A life of feeling un-loveable. A life of self restriction and maintaining a closed heart. A life of insecurities. A life of martyred resentment. A life of capped power. A life of living anything less than 100% on purpose. A life of not being fully conscious and awake. A life of shame, remorse and regret.

Do you recognize your life in any of these? Do you have patterns of behavior and themes that no longer serve you? Can you feel a little lighter as a result of our efforts?

These lives, as I call them, live in the outer layers of the soul and mirror down, affecting all the layers that come before. We feel this in our spiritual, mental, emotional and physical bodies. Naming them, participating in a ceremony that allows for their release, doing a life review to better understand how they took hold and then beginning a new life is Shamanic Rebirth.

We can be reborn without physically dying. This is what each Healing Quester did. Powerfully. For themself and for the Human Soul, of which we’re each a part.

These are the new lives that replaced the old: The life of Infinite Creativity. The life of Love, Joy and Abundance. The life of Surfing the Waves of the Open Heart. The life of Living with Integrity of Purpose. The life of Blissful Peace and Joy. The life of Enlivening Expansion. The life of Alignment with Mother Earth and the Light of Heaven. The life of Self-love and Cherishment. The life of Trusting to be On My Purpose. The life of Living My Power and Sharing My Blazing Light. The life of Direct Communication and Access with My Guides and Exponential Healing Abilities. The life of Faith and Trust.

Noticing our heavy energy, releasing it and awakening to our inherent nature as Spirit is the path of all Human Beings. We do it for ourselves, and we do it for each another. After all, we really are One.

Every year I’m honored to lead and be the intercessor of this magical ceremony. I bow down to each participant: Donna, Rich, Susan, Michael, Salita, Dennis, Winona, Be, Paulita, Christina, Debita, Lisa and my assistant, Chris. Thank you for the opportunity to do my part, one that would be impossible without you. And a HUGE thank you to my amazing, insightful and ever-present spiritual guides, who lead and care for me and us from the unseen (and sometimes seen) realms of Spirit. My heart is full of love and gratitude.

    This brief statement is brilliant, Annie. It says it all so succinctly. I just have to say it again:
    “Noticing our heavy energy, releasing it and awakening to our inherent nature as Spirit is the path of all Human Beings. We do it for ourselves, and we do it for each another. After all, we really are One.”

    Thank you Annie, Chris, all of my fellow Questers and Riley, the Quest dog. Quest is an unparalleled opportunity to go deep, in nature and in community, and come out lighter in a lasting way. Significant. I am grateful.

    Love to all!

    Thank you Annie, what you shared was perfect and concise …I was just sharing my experience with a friend who called me anxious for a report from the brave and courageous mountain quest-er…(that would be me) As I shared my personal experiences, I was reminded of coming home and how odd it felt to be indoors, how I have this need to go out each day and put my feet on Mother Earths skin. Personally I have said many times to myself and others, “let go of all that no longer serves”, so at Quest I was totally ready psychologically to have our amazing Mother Earth do just that. What I understand of what occurred to me was a profound life altering experience I will never forget. I actually literally felt as if she removed years of clogged up energetic compost I had been carrying around for years, excess baggage, heavy energy; it comes with lots of little analogies, but I realized it is real and within a safe Shamanic environment miracles, big miracles do happen. So I came away with a greater belief in the aliveness of our sacred planet, she gave me quite the incredible experience. It was as if I were giving birth to the death of ALL that no longer serves me. She left the virtues, creativity, love, joy and other things that serve me well and left them to grow in the new radiant light of a cleaned out psychic body. I love Annie and I love the other 13 people I met on the mountain. We became a clan. We healed a big part of our souls and the souls of our families and our greater communities. My heart is more full of love, as I know I have very tangible tools, Mother Earth and the Light of God that is always present and available to heal me. I am eternally grateful. Namaste
