Christina went on the greatest adventure of her life travelling around the world. Looking into different belief systems, cultures and religions. Trying to make sense of her existence. She was invited to spend time with Medicine Women who were living and practicing the traditions of the Native American Indian in New Mexico. A dream come true as she was drawn to the Native American teachings. This is where her journey began.

They shared with her their teachings and ways to heal the body. They taught her the importance of dreams, their history and ceremonies such as sweat lodge and peace pipe. They taught her about traditional medicines and ways to heal her own wounds.

From there she travelled to Mexico where she ended up crossing the border into Guatemala. As fate will have it, her path crossed with three shamans who became her teachers. They taught her everything the Navaho teacher in New Mexico told her she would be learning. The teachings included: Reiki, Shamanism, Universal Law, Crystals Therapy, Sound Therapy, the Mayan Calendar and ceremonies. They helped her to make sense of life and to heal her body. She spent nearly six months studying and traveling with them.

Christina returned to Guatemala and completed the 3rd and final level of Reiki. She later travelled to Peru where she spent time with an Inca high priest in Cusco as he shared with her teachings and ceremonies in the sacred temples. She later travelled to the Amazon where she took part in her first ceremony with the Shipibo shaman.

Christina completed further energetic healing courses and workshops here in Australia.

Christina was honoured to be invited to attend the Sun Dance. A sacred ceremony held by the Lakota Nation. From there she travelled to New Mexico where she met with a wonderful Navaho man, a true friend and a Navaho artist/medicine man who shared with her his teachings and wisdom. She got to travel through various sacred sites with Alex - Navaho friend and guide. They travelled to the reservation, the canyons and made their way to Window rock in Arizona. This is where the headquarters of the Navaho nation is located.

Christina returned to Guatemala where she was invited to attend the Mayan New Year ceremony. It was held in the highlands by seven women shamans. She travelled with her   teacher Viktor. It was an honour to be invited and to take part in the ceremony. They later travelled across the country distributing clothing, toys and medicines to those in need. It when she created “Worm Busters” Finally to Tikal – ancient Mayan ruins where more teachings where shared with her.

This was an important year in the Mayan calendar. Christina attended the New year ceremony with her teachers and friends at the beginning of the year. They also tracked across the country distributing clothing, medicines, toys etc to various communities in need.

Later that year she was invited to go tracking Jaguars in the Amazon with the Shipibo guides as well with the shaman Alfredo and his beautiful partner. She took part in sacred ceremonies in the Amazon. They were taught about the various medicines of the trees, tracking, survival skills and how to connect with nature, to listen and observe.

Christina attend a gathering at Flinders Rangers, Adelaide. She met the most incredible Aboriginal elders as well as elders from New Zealand and Hawaii. They shared their teachings, way of life, their stories and the connection they have with the land.

Later that year she got to go whale watching with one of the elders. His name is Uncle Bunna and he is the whale whisperer. He is a warrior fighting for his land and for the whale sanctuaries. He shared with me his people’s whale stories and how to connect with them. It was truly one of the most magical experiences.

This was the darkest year as well as the brightest year. It is true what they say where there is darkness there is always light. This was the year that she got to meet her greatest inspiration of all time. A true teacher whose teachings helped to put the pieces of the puzzle together. His name is Don Miguel Ruiz and he transformed the way I perceive things. His books a great source of healing to me and for years I would refer them to clients to read as part of their homework.The most popular is called “The Four Agreements”

As I was thinking on how I would ever get to meet him, he appeared literally on my doorstep. A weekend workshop 15 mins from my home in Sydney. Perfect timing. It was the greatest teachings so far.  He invited me to attend a workshop at the ancient ruins of Teotihuacan outside of Mexico city. Four months later I was in Mexico learning about the ancient Toltec civilisation. The word Toltec means Artist. Don Miguel Ruiz ancestors were the Toltec and the teachings were passed through the bloodline. The teachings had gone into hiding but they spoke of a time that the teachings would be returned to the people. At a time of need. That time is now.

The last thing he said to me before leaving Mexico was “Christina, do not allow anyone to place suggestions in you.”

At the end of the day, who’s truth is it and what makes it real?

Christina returned to South Dakota where she attended a gathering of Native Indian Women as well as the Sun Dance ceremony with the Lakota Native Americans. She got to spend some time with the elders who showed incredible grace and strength.
