"People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle." ~Thich Nhat Hanh

When I first started this page in June I had a long account of how I happened to be given the Jaguar. The story is gone. It was difficult to write because who can really explain such a thing. It happened in a meditation or maybe it was in another dimension or somehow in a dreamtime while awake. I had been very depressed and not at all happy with my life. I did not know what to do. I remembered that when I would go to the Caves to see the Grandmothers, they often helped me. So I go to the entrance of the cave and Grandmother is there and she says come in, we are all here." We enter the dark cave and wander around to her cave, which is a little above ground. So we crawl in and I see many Grandmothers dancing with candles and herbs, singing and welcoming me. I am so tired. They have me lie down next to the fire and I just let myself feel the warmth and the healing and finally feel safe. With my eyes closed I see a Jaguar enter the room and fly around, I see the stars on his body which most people think are spots. It is fun to watch him swirl around the women, I know he is bringing us knowing. He lies down next to me, spooning with me. He is warm and I feel his cozy fur which makes me sleep some. I am not sure how this next part happened because it happened fast and out of time. I became aware that the Jaguar was not just next to me, the Jaguar and I were now one being. We would never be separate. From that moment I would always feel him and know that he is part of me. I have spent a couple of years learning about this and accepting it. I did not ask for this. However, my life is forever changed because of it. Some months later, I was given a white female Jaguar with diamond eyes to help me in my healing practice.
In 2005 I went to the Yucatan and the caves I mentioned are at Lol Tun near Chichen Itza. I met and started studying with a Wisdom Teacher called Miguel Angel Vergara. Before that I studied Integrative Chakra Healing with Dr Richard Jelusich. Prior to that I studied Eastern and Western psychology and have been a psychotherapist since 1988. Along the way I have studied many different energy healing practices including Reiki. I have worked with seriously mentally ill persons, all kinds of psychological distress like anxiety and depression and PTSD, people who have chronic illness, grief, many things. Now I look at the energy behind these experiences, reconnecting people with their natural energy sources.

Uxmal - I was here in 2005. Our group was waiting out the December rain under the covered edges of the square. As I meditated, I saw what the square looked like the last time I was there - it was filled with women dancing in long white dresses, women teaching each other and celebrating the Divine Feminine. Uxmal, the Women's University.

The promise of a shaman - Yogesh Kumar

If you come to me as a victim I will not support you.
But I will have the courage to walk with you through the pain that you are suffering.
I will put you in the fire, I will undress you, and I will sit you on the earth.
I will bathe you with herbs, I will purge you, and you will vomit the rage and the darkness inside you.

I’ll bang your body with good herbs, and I’ll put you to lay in the grass, face up to the sky.
Then I will blow your crown to clean the old memories that make you repeat the same behaviour.

I will blow your forehead to scare away the thoughts that cloud your vision.
I will blow your throat to release the knot that won’t let you talk.
I will blow your heart to scare fear so that it goes far away where it cannot find you.
I will blow your solar plexus to extinguish the fire of the hell you carry inside, and you will know peace.
I will blow with fire your belly to burn the attachments and the love that was not.
I will blow away the lovers that left you, the children that never came.
I will blow your heart to make you warm, to rekindle your desire to feel, create and start again.
I will blow with force your va**na or your p***s, to clean the sexual door to your soul.
I will blow away the garbage that you collected trying to love what did not want to be loved.
I will use the broom, and the sponge, and the rag, and safely clean all the bitterness inside you.
I will blow your hands to destroy the ties that prevent you from creating.
I will blow your feet to dust and erase the footprints memories, so you can never return to that bad place.
I will turn your body, so your face will kiss the earth.
I’ll blow your spine from the root to the neck to increase your strength and help you walk upright.
And I will let you rest.

After this, you will cry, and after crying you will sleep,
And you will dream beautiful and meaningful dreams,
and when you wake up I’ll be waiting for you.
I will smile at you, and you will smile back
I will offer you food that you will eat with pleasure, tasting life, and I will thank you.
Because what I’m offering today, was offered to me before when darkness lived within me.
And after I was healed, I felt the darkness leaving, and I cried.
Then we will walk together, and I will show you my garden, and my plants, and I will take you to the fire again.

And will talk together in a single voice with the blessing of the earth.
And we will shout to the forest the desires of your heart.
And the fire will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the mountains will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the rivers will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the wind will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And then we will bow before the fire, and we will call upon all the visible and invisible guardians.

And you will say thank you to all of them.
And you will say thank you to yourself.
And you will say thank you to yourself.
And you will say thank you to yourself.
