Getting back on the horse after a wonderfully restful 4 days off while my son was here. The 1st day back always gives me trouble yet I’m determined to keep pushing myself forward.
Getting back on that horse
Started working on a new post incorporating this new poem about letting go. I entitled it “Control” and is still another opportunity to recognize my recovering from perfectionism. The Universe will gives you lessons over and over again until you learn from them. This lesson has been a hard learned one for me because for so long on the inside, I kept a white knuckle grip on life while maintaining an Oscar worthy performance smile on my face! Ultimately, I was only kidding and hurting myself.
I love this picture so I borrowed it from a friend of mine’s Instagram page….
Choose wisely
Everyday is another opportunity to continue this work in progress which is the journey to self😊
My name is Maria Teresa Pratico-Swanson. I'm a woman walking this journey of life in truth. I am a certified master shaman, specializing in healing trauma. Practicing the art of shamanism has transformed my life, liberated my authentic spirit, awakened and freed my soul. I use my sensibilities as superpowers and the power of love is what fuels my magic as a shamanic healer. My creativity is my soul's expression, purpose and passion which I express through my healing services, writing poetry, hosting a blog, dancing, painting and practicing yoga. My motto is "Triumphing over Trauma". In 2011, after a lifetime of trauma I became aware that I needed to reconnect with my soul. Healing integrates all aspects of my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual selves. Unraveling conditioning and programming continues to take introspection, patience and grace. I'm committed to my practice of healing from the human experience as an awakened soul. I believe I am here to help heal humanity one heart at a time. I offer shamanic healing sessions and have written 5 books of poetry available on Amazon. "Emotional Musings" "My Soul's Language" "My Heart's Song" "My Soul's Light" and "My Soul’s Journey:Lessons learned through love"

In light and in shadow, always with love. Namaste.

Great video!! I’m so glad you had such a great visit!! YAY!!
Yessss I am keeping calm since that timeline is up in the air! It would be so awesome however, we haven’t lived in the same state for almost 10 years!!!
The plastered on smile thing-I relate to that, big time. At home, I wear the mask so my kid doesn’t think mom is mad or a bummer or whatever. In public, I wear the mask so I don’t have to contend with being asked if I am okay, only to have people’s eyes glaze over if I dare be honest an answer the question.
The mask is hurtful but sometimes, necessary,
I can definitely relate. I’ve reached the point in my journey where there’s no more “faking it until you make it”. In this post I’m referring to keeping my emotions alive, my inner world presence because as an empath, I would rather focus on others feelings and disconnect from my own.
Nowadays I feel me, heal me and am 100% focused on me. My writing is intimate and personal to that struggle.
Happy it resonated with you. Thank you for your input my friend 😊
