Oh,
Dear souls,
I am Brenda Sandejo.
And today's chat.
Is a reflection on a poem.
By Mazatec Gurandera.
From Oaxaca,
Mexico,
Maria Sabina Magdalena Garcia.
The poem,
You Are the Medicine.
Helps us to see how healing ourselves is possible and that we can be the medicine for ourselves on our journey towards healing and becoming more connected to ourselves and our true purpose.
That is through making soul.
Which I teach as the expression of our soul's purpose out into the world in a way that not just transforms us within,
But has a real impact on the world around us.
It's about sharing our medicine and our gifts.
Cure yourself with the light of the sun,
She says,
And the rays of the moon.
With the sound of the river and the waterfall.
Maria Sabina tells us that nature from the sea to the fluttering of birds to the picking of eucalyptus and the use of mint are healing.
Add a touch of cinnamon.
And putting love in our tea instead of sugar are some of the ways.
That we can show ourselves love.
And in doing so,
We connect to our souls.
We can do it by connecting to nature.
We can do it,
As she says,
By connecting our bare feet to the earth.
By exchanging energy with the earth.
And importantly,
She reminds us.
It can be found in the work.
Of connecting to and listening to our intuition.
Our intuition,
Our inner wisdom is our guiding star.
She says we become smarter when we listen within.
Meaning that we soak in the wisdom of our souls and connect to that which we were meant to express out into the world.
What wisdom,
What wisdom lies with each and every one of us,
She says.
Dancing.
So that you can live happier and better.
As she says and ends her poem.
Heal yourself with beautiful love and always remember You are.
The medicine.
