Yet the Medicine Woman is now returning .
We are all going through a rebirth of our ancient soul memories and calling .
In ancient times before the patriarchy took hold , a medicine woman ’ s gifts of vision and healing were honoured and integrated into the lives of her community . She used rituals and ceremonies and followed the cycles and seasons of nature , to connect to her natural divine rhythm . She used her gifts as medicine to soothe , tend and care for others , body , mind and spirit .
You carry these gifts ; they are embedded in your DNA , and it has been passed down to you from your ancestors .
It is in your lineage to access this wisdom , and remember how you can :
See into hidden worlds Communicate with wise spirit guides Energetically heal yourself and others Connect with your past lives
These gifts are yours . But … from an early age , it may have been conditioned out of you , which made you feel anxious , confused , and unprepared .
You were told that magic isn ’ t real . That you are ordinary . But the truth is … You ’ re extraordinary . There is a global transformation happening .
The modern Medicine Woman is reemerging .
The great split is occurring now , as the old world of suffering gives way to a new world of heightened awareness , intuition , manifestation , magic , and quantum healing .
This is the time for the medicine woman to make her mark , as the rise of healers , teachers , way-showers , and guides who will lead us into the new earth .
The medicine woman ’ s path is to move beyond the scars , and help others without taking on their energy or getting burnt out . But the challenges and difficulties , have set you up for being ungrounded , and not fully living IN your body . This can happen as a way to disconnect , numb , protect and armour against the past .
This experience may show up as :
Sensing a well of untapped gifts and untapped potential , but not sure how to fully access them .
Fear stepping into your soul desire as a healer . You know deep in your bones that your calling is greater than how you ’ re currently showing up . You know something is holding you back , but you haven ’ t been able to get to the root of it yet . Desire to be seen but experience fear of being visible , so you keep staying small . Feeling you don ’ t belong , and feel disconnected from Source , your inherent abundance and unsure how to access your sacred wisdom . In your dreams and while you meditate you remember your skills as a herbalist , oracle , priestess , seer , shaman , channel , wise woman , and earth healer .
