2022 is the year for Love

MariaTeresa

Welcome dear readers to 2022 which holds a divine number of 6 symbolizing harmony. Listening intently to my heart and continously compelled by soul, every year I choose a word to focus on and manifest all my intentions from. This word becomes the theme I am to expand upon. In 2020 it was fearlessness and for 2021 it was freedom. I saw many big shifts based on both words in my life. This year for 2022 my focus is love. Recently, I have been reflecting upon how very far I have come along on this journey which has awakened my soul, it’s heart truths and so much divine wisdom that is shared with me by Spirit. I use Spirit to encompass the many spirits I receive messages and guidance from since asking for their assistance in June of 2019. To be specific, I will name them here. Many of the archangels including Gabriel, Michael, Raphael and Haniel. My ancestral lineage, ascended masters, Gods and Goddesses, elemental and directional energies, spirit guides and animals and other high vibrational beings of light. After lots of time spent in meditation, being outside in nature and journaling during last year, I believe I am ready and deserving of my soul’s true partner. Here’s to receiving this love in 2022!

Diving deeper into my soul by slowing down is my first intention. This is the first winter season I’ve experienced in eight years my dear readers and the colder temperatures are inviting me to stay indoors and be still. Allowing myself the rest I need to rejuvenate after all the moving around and stretching that 2021 provided my being. In order to integrate and expand into all the energy that the higher frequencies are bringing in, I will begin this year by taking a much needed break from social media. Being mindful of what I consume in all areas of life is very crucial to the healing process. The more I awaken to my heart truths, the more sensitive I become to energy’s vibrations and other people. Winter invites us to curl up with ourselves, to go within and listen. Reading is one of my favorite things to do. I’m grateful to have received a couple of books over Christmas that I’m looking forward to getting under my blankets with. I was gifted a star light projector that creates the night sky on my ceiling. I’m totally loving the magical scenery dancing before me in the comfort of my own space. Add in some candles and crystals to complete the scene for maximum relaxation.

I’m taking this opportunity to rest and practice self care. I will also get to work on creating the manuscript for my sixth book of poetry to be called, “My Soul’s Dance, Accepting the shadows while Embracing the Light: Poems about death and rebirth” Yes indeed it’s a long title, with over 130 poems written throughout all of the cycles 2021 brought me through. My first full year as a practicing shaman.

I’m always intrigued by the mysteries painted in the night sky. In the beginning of my awakening process, that’s how the Universe sent me messages.This poem expresses how I feel about the healing powers of star gazing and moon watching.

Living in the southern temperatures for so long, I was used to getting fed by the Sun. I’ve written before about how my friends refer to me as the Sun because of my big bright energy, smile and personality. We all have a Sun inside of us as Rumi says. I wear a necklace that has the tarot card of the Sun because I like the reminder over my heart. The space that beats in rhythm to love’s purity.

Indeed there is

Waking from the dream, seeing and feeling the truth which is love smashes the lie of separation. We are all intricately connected and are beginning to attune to this frequency all over the planet. I can see it more clearly in the interactions I have with people at the farmers market I work at part time. People are remembering that love is the only truth and it’s exciting to see the connectedness between us through our conversations. Before I leave my home, I always align myself through meditation and breath, in order to lead from my heart. When the mind attempts to take over however, that’s when I know I need more self care and mindfulness practice. Becoming the observer to the mind’s thoughts puts me in alignment with all the pieces of me so I can present my wholeness, my truth and lead from soul.

Today I was invited on a hike through the snow up a canyon. We saw lots of bucks, horses, turkeys, donkeys and lamas too! I feel so alive in nature and really enjoy listening to it’s messages while taking in the clues to this grand mystery of life through it’s cues. Nature brings me peace, relaxes and feeds my senses. God is everywhere and in everything we see. Reflecting our own light in us is what being out in nature reminds us of. All the beauty we are given here on Earth. That’s its purpose and we are here to protect and balance it by balancing ourselves in it. What a gorgeous cycle it is!

The mantra I’m continuously practicing is this my dear readers: I acknowledge and am aware that love is the truth, I surrender to thoughts that attempt to tell me otherwise (rejecting fear), I release the energy that doesn’t serve by allowing love to flood my being which keeps me free so I can let go of expectations and attachments, embracing the present, arriving at acceptance to all that is. The I AM, we all are. Love. There is no failing in life my dear readers. We keep trying, everyday is another opportunity to forgive ourselves and others through grace and compassion. Life here on Earth brings us through experiences that remind us of the truth. Sparking the remembrance that we are love, infinite and eternal. That is the only truth, everything else is an illusion.

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 6 books of poetry available on Amazon. "Emotional Musings" "My Soul's Language" "My Heart's Song"  "My Soul's Light" "My Soul’s Journey:Lessons learned through love" and "My Soul’s Dance, Accepting the shadows while embracing the Light: poems about death and rebirth" For more detailed information follow this link https://linktr.ee/Emotionalmusings In light and in shadow, always with love.

  4. What you say here proves again that this is a perfectly organized universe. We had the challenge of the big crises. And this year, love is meant to take over again and to bring the awareness that the crises provoked. I love how you told that you are aligning yourself before you leave the house. That totally stroke a chord. I used to be more aware of that alignment but lost that attitude due to the busyness I made myself part of. That was an important hint to bring calm into my being before anything has the choice to cause confusion. Thank you for that, Maria.

    1. Absolutely, YES, my dear Erika ❤ I tell myself to focus on my being first and always before I engage with anybody or anything. I’m happy to share that reminder with you. Life is as hard as we make it, busy as we allow it to be and distracting as we want. Or not 🥰 We see each other so clearly in the light of love my soul sister and for that I am eternally grateful❤❤❤

      1. Your words hit home, Maria. It is all homemade and we are so often too busy to realize until we almost break down. We blaim others for our unhappiness instead of switching to happiness inside which already changes something. We carry frustration and anger inside and destroy the happy moments we could have.
        Yes, that was sent from heaven through you, dear soul sister. Thank you from my heart 💖

      2. Always 💗 I just made the decision to slow down myself. These past 4 months, in a new living situation and with a new place to work outside my home has shown me how very important it is for me to call all of my energy back to myself on my “off” days. Today for example, I have no plans and will just be. I’m taking a break from posting on social media for awhile so that I may focus on my inner work. This year is also a renewed focus on what we value most, a closer look at where I put my energy. If it drains me, it has to go. It’s always a pleasure dear soul sister 😁🙌✨💫🌠

      3. You said something so important here for me to think about: Having days with NO plans. I don’t know when that was in my life. I should “plan” such a day once a month! Just being in the moment. I think there is a big breakthrough on the way for me. A lot I tried to “manage because I feel obliged to” is accumulating and I feel the pressure increasing. So, cheers to a great year of change and new us!! YAY!

      4. Indeed, big transformations are underway already. Yes, having days with no plans is crucial to wellbeing. I was so blessed and grateful for the 18 months I spent in Florida with no time schedule! It was glorious 🙌 May we rise to see the beauty in our truest selves, our natural state of spirited essence as the year progresses💓

      5. OMG, that would be a dream come true those 18 months. I so hear you, Maria! I know, this will come for me. Maybe not this schedule-less but a lot less externally controlled schedules … lol. I will make it to the point where I can leave my employed job and only focus on my self-employment.
        Yes, sister, may we rise up and up💖

      6. It was the gift from the Universe that I used wisely to feel into my soul, listen and learn about myself. I wrote so many poems and created so much inner space, healed and grew etc. Now I’m learning balance between working outside my home and living my purpose through my practice as a shamanic healer. I’m grateful the poetry comes as messages through the Divine to teach us all. When I construct a manuscript, I get the pleasure of focusing on the words. This is so much of my inner work because I write the words but don’t often absorb their message. It’s so extremely therapeutic for me❤ Your time is coming, the 1st step is awareness, now your actions will follow🙌

      7. That is exactly what I experienced myself several times. I write a text and basically it all makes sense. But when I read it later the meaning of my own words go so much deeper. Isn’t it amazing that our higher self knows so well what we need and how it is guiding us?
        You say it, awareness comes first, and the willingness and openness to go with the path that opens up in the process. You have no idea how much you raised that awarenes in me in only a few moments and gave me a distanced yet closer look at myself. I have tears in my eyes writing this. You took me by the hand and showed me the way out of the dark cloud. I wish we can meet one day. That would be awesome! I cannot thank you enough, dear friend 💖

      8. I’m truly touched and honored Erika❤ this is why we come here, to Earth school, for the human experience. I channel so many spirits that I feel I can’t take credit for the poems I write, they are messages from the Masters. I would LOVE for us to meet someday. We have put the intention out there with this conversation ✨💫🌠🙏💛

  5. Love the photos! I love the part about slowing down. I have, over decades, found that when the stream of thought is noisy and restless, I need to plant myself and breathe. This, most of the time, will recalibrate attention back to these moments and the real flow of time not seen through thoughts. Thanks for this! Take care of you, my friend.
