Welcome,

V!

Thank you!

So glad to have you here.

It's so wonderful to be here!

I've been looking forward to this for a long time since we connected months ago,

I think February for us,

And it was over dragons and book launching.

Yes,

Yes!

We actually met in a book networking event.

Yeah!

So,

Yes!

So nice that both of our books are coming out this year.

So exciting to support each other.

So wonderful.

I agree.

Yes.

So the first question I'm going to ask you is the same question I ask everyone,

And that is,

What does enlightenment mean to you?

Wow!

Okay,

So enlightenment to me is discovering,

Discovering answers to discovering yourself,

More about yourself,

The world,

And the universe.

That is what enlightenment to me means.

I actually,

It's so weird,

I had this whole like prepared definition of enlightenment when I was running metaphysical school and it just totally blanked out of my mind when you asked me because it's not what I was expecting at all.

That's okay.

I mean everybody's definition is different and I like off the cuff and really spontaneous definitions because I feel like those are the most authentic.

I agree.

I love that.

Yes,

And I think that what you said is true.

Connecting with the universe,

Connecting with yourself,

Realizing that there's more than you think there is.

I also think enlightenment is about discovering who you are and discovering your true self and your soul purpose.

I think those are also very important elements of enlightenment.

Very true.

Yes,

Absolutely.

So you have an amazing story and your story really resonated with me from the beginning when you introduced yourself at the networking event.

I really find that there's some commonalities for our backgrounds anyway in terms of our trajectories,

In terms of our spiritual journeys,

And what led us there.

And most of my listeners know my story by now but they don't know yours.

So please share your journey,

How you came to your spiritual awakening.

Well my spiritual journey started with a health crisis very similar to yours.

So in 2009 I was in vet school and it was my first year of vet school and I had an incident with a horse and what ended up happening is a very severe back injury.

So after this incident with the horse I knew that something was terribly wrong with my back but I didn't know what it was and I didn't know how bad it was.

So I kept going to school and sitting for eight hours a day and driving 40 minutes to school and back every day for eight weeks.

And after eight weeks I was in so much pain and I had a lot of nerve dysfunction going on that my partner took me to the emergency room and when I got there my blood pressure was 220 over 180 and the nurse took it twice to make sure that there was no mistake.

And after sharing my symptoms she said okay you need an emergency MRI and I was in the MRI machine and 45 minutes of walking in the door at the emergency.

And what they told me was I had a herniated disc at L5 S1 and to go home and rest and you know take care of myself.

And after a year of chronic pain and prescription painkillers and anti-inflammatories and seeing all the western medicine specialists,

The orthopedic surgeon,

A neurologist,

Physio,

Massage therapists,

I saw them all.

I still was not able to sit up.

I was in chronic pain.

I couldn't drive.

I couldn't walk without a cane because the back of my left leg didn't work and I was like I couldn't function.

And so after a year of this and not healing a friend of mine suggested that I go see his energy healer.

And this was not something that resonated with me at the time because my background is in science.

I have two biology degrees and I had spent the previous 15 years in university in academia and starting my own business in corporate in the corporate world.

And so my friend he said what do you have to lose?

And I was like yeah at this point nothing like I can't I still can't function and none of the doctors can tell me what's wrong with me or how to get better.

And so I went to this energy healer and her name is Jan and it was in Calgary,

Alberta,

Canada.

And she is a body talk and quantum healing specialist who also incorporates crystal healing into her practice.

And now I know what all of that stuff means but at the time I did not.

And after the session I thought she didn't really tell me anything that I didn't already know.

And that's what I thought was the extent of this session.

I did not understand energy work at all.

And at the end of the session she says to me before you know as I'm walking out the door and paying she says to me just wait just wait I have this crystal that is telling me it needs to go home with you.

And I was like what?

Like I had connected with the crystals in her office as soon as I got there because as a child and as a teenager I loved crystals.

And so she goes back to her treatment room and she comes out with this crystal and this this is the little this is the crystal.

It is a very innocuous not special at all looking smoky quartz.

And I loved it.

We had worked with it in my session because I said I like I don't know I like that one.

And so she was like okay this one needs to go home with you.

And so that night I slept with this smoky quartz in my hand.

And I woke up the next morning an intuitive empath.

And that was my first intuitive awakening.

At the time I did not know what intuitive awakening meant.

I did not know what an intuitive empath was.

All I know all I knew at the time was that I could suddenly feel other people's energy.

I could feel my partner.

I could feel my dogs.

I could feel other people that were around me.

I could feel other people's pain which let me tell you sucked.

Because I had my own chronic pain.

I didn't know how to deal with other people's pain.

But I would feel these things.

I would feel like a sore shoulder or a sore neck or a headache that wasn't mine.

Because like I knew what was mine and what was not.

Which was something not every newly initiated intuitive empath does.

But I did know that it wasn't mine.

When I thought I had hit rock bottom from my own health crisis I was mistaken.

Because when I woke up an intuitive empath I was suddenly even further down than I had been.

Because now I had my own pain to deal with but also other people's pain to deal with.

And so what I eventually figured out was that I could feel other people's pain.

And so this made me an empath.

And then I just went through this rabbit hole of researching everything that I could about how to function as an empath.

About intuition.

And I put my science degree learned research skills to use.

And sought out the tools and techniques that I'd need to function in my new energetically sensitive new reality.

And I started working with crystals.

And I still do today.

And they really are a part of my everyday life.

And especially with connecting with dragons which we'll probably get to before the end.

And in addition to working with crystals I learned so many other techniques to manage my energetic sensitivity and function in society again.

And one of the really important lessons that I learned during this time when I was researching everything that I possibly could was that I had been so unhealthy for the previous 15 years.

And this was the whole time I was in university pursuing my science degrees and then working afterwards in the corporate world.

I was experiencing weekly migraines and I caught every cold and illness that was going around.

And I was just a really unhealthy person.

And finally it ended up in the situation where I was unable to heal from this back injury.

And what I learned was that all of this unhealthiness was a result of me denying a huge part of who I am.

That I had been repressing my intuitive self.

And it was making me sick.

I had been rejecting my authentic self because of an extremely traumatic experience in my late teens which isn't uncommon.

And this caused me to shut off my innate intuitive abilities.

And this self-rejection was manifesting in an inability to heal and to be healthy.

And thankfully I figured this out and I currently have no chronic pain.

I haven't been sick with a cold or illness in over four and a half years.

And although I still get migraines it's one or two a year instead of one or two per week.

So I feel like living my sole purpose and honoring my intuitive self and my energetic sensitive superpowers which I call them now is what has made me healthy.

And after a few years of learning to function and flourish as an intuitive empath I started making my own crystal healing tools and jewelry.

And you'll see I'm wearing some of them today.

I make all of mine out of thread because I'm allergic to metal so I had to teach myself how to do macrame.

And I started selling the my own crystal healing tools at a friend's crystal store that I had helped to open.

And I started teaching crystal healing to others.

And then I started teaching empath skills to others in my community who were also energetically sensitive.

And I taught them how to manage their sensitivities.

And shortly after I started teaching these workshops I had my second and third intuitive awakenings.

So it didn't stop at one.

It never stops at one.

And so far I've had four.

But my second intuitive awakening was gaining access to my past lives which was something that I'd wanted to do as soon as I realized that this was actually a thing.

That this was real.

That past lives actually exist.

And it took me six years to get there.

And my third intuitive awakening was connecting with source for the first time which gives you access to infinite wisdom and the realization the profound realization of the interconnectedness of everything in the universe.

And it was after my third intuitive awakening that I was inspired to create an online school to help other energetically sensitive souls meaning intuitives empaths and hsps which is short for highly sensitive person to help realize their intuitive dreams heal their whole selves and embody their sole purpose.

And with that school I recruited a faculty of over 40 metaphysical teachers from around the world and together we created over 60 courses and workshops.

But running the school was so time consuming and overwhelming in terms of maintenance and marketing and my poor introverted self couldn't handle it all that I didn't have time to do the thing that I love the most that lights me up and fulfills my soul purpose which is to connect with energetically sensitive souls and support them in their spiritual journeys in the ways that work best for them.

So after six years of trying to get my metaphysical school off the ground and starting to realize that maybe this wasn't the best path for me that's when my fourth intuitive awakening happened which was last year in August and I connected with my first dragon.

And like we mentioned in the beginning her name is Ashara and she is the very first thing that she said to me was well I asked who are you because I didn't know what was going on.

So I asked her you know who are you when you know I can I've shared quite a few times about connecting with Ashara if you're interested in hearing that like how did that initially happen I'm happy to share.

But the first thing she told me was I am the dragon crystal guardian of Priscilla Bluestone and I had been working with Priscilla Bluestone this this is the crystal that initiated that initial connection.

I had felt this powerful intuitive nudge to pick up this crystal after I'd been seeing dragon signs everywhere for like weeks they were all over my feed and in my emails and I wasn't in any dragon groups so I don't know how dragons showed up everywhere.

The dragons you know kind of initiated this I know this now but I had this intuitive nudge to pick up this crystal that had been on my headboard for over a year.

This powerful spirit came out of the crystal and into my hand up my arm into my heart and throughout my whole body and I knew this was a spirit but I didn't know anything else about it so that's when you ask questions right it's all about intuition is all about asking questions and so I asked her who are you and she said I am the dragon crystal guardian Priscilla Bluestone and that kind of started this huge big fourth intuitive awakening that catalyzed a greater connection with the dragon collective and I've now connected with over 100 different dragons and I would love to share some of the benefits that I have found of connecting with dragons which is they have this powerful ability to quantum leap your spiritual journey.

So I had you know I'd been on my spiritual journey for 13 years by the time I connected with Ashara now it's 14 because it's been almost a year my dragon anniversary is actually in three days so I'll have connected I know right so what I found is that when you connect with dragons you have this profoundly empowering spirit guide with you so in my first intuitive awakening I had connected with angels and past loved ones and I had a spirit guide that was with me all the time but what I found with dragons is that in the year since I've connected with them I've relearned all of the lessons that I taught myself in my 14-year spiritual journey and I've learned so much more in the year that we've connected and now that I've been connected with dragons for over a year I really wish that I'd had a dragon spirit guide in the beginning because I feel like the challenges that I was going through at the time would have been resolved so much faster and easier because you have this ancient and wise guide to help you discover your past lives because that has happened and also to navigate the infinite wisdom of source and also they have each of them every dragon that I've connected with has their own wisdom to share hence the channeled dragon wisdom book that I am currently writing in addition to the empowering spirit guide that I have with me all the time and now it's guides because it's plural my intuition has exploded again huge expansion all of my clear senses have made another jump in sensitivity and they've supercharged my manifestation skills which was not something that I feel I was very good at before connecting with dragons and I feel like one of the biggest that happened since connecting with dragons is becoming a best-selling author within just a few months of setting the intention to write a best-selling book sharing dragon wisdom and that is how we met I part of the synchronicities of writing this book and becoming a best-selling author was attending this this networking event called successfully launch your best-selling book and this was days after I had set the intention that I really need to write a book with this channeled dragon wisdom that I am learning and so through a series of synchronicities that happened within weeks and in just a few months I was a published author in in this book which is called manifesting magical moments and everything about the experience was magical and was part of the synchronicity and the manifestation realization of my desire to become a best-selling author sharing dragon wisdom because in my chapter this is a manifesting magical moments is a multi-author book and my chapter is the second one and it's called manifesting magic with dragons and in it I share four important lessons I've learned about manifestations since dragons came into my life so that is one of the most powerful manifestations that just happened and was co-created with the universe and with dragons Wow there's so much there I don't know where to begin well we have some time yes I I thank you for sharing all of that I mean there's so many parts there's so many parts to it um starting at the very beginning with the medical crisis because that's obviously how I started too and really to be honest I only share the most recent one because I had a lot before probably 15 years before that I had a terrible lung crisis where I had three hip surgeries and I went through the same thing that you did with the herniated discs and I couldn't walk and I was in physical therapy for years and it there was so much I guess some people just that doesn't happen to them but for me you know I'm and I went to every specialist there was and even even recently when I had this other crisis it was a combination of like several chronic illnesses and I again went to every specialist there was until finally find out that I have chronic Lyme and on top of everything else so yeah there was a lot and and at the time when I started losing my eyesight and I had to have the eye surgeries that was when I really had to turn inward to look inside because all of a sudden I I was really starting to lose touch with my vision and that was really causing everything else to activate when my vision started failing I was like okay time to bring up all of my other senses and all my other clairs and all my other abilities really just blew up and became so powerful as a consequence sort of of that and it's unfortunate that a lot of healers are wounded healers it seems but they have to go through this dark night of the soul this terrible struggle whether it's physical or emotional or whatever it is or both I know you've heard this before what our soul signed up for basically so that we could attain this level of power and we could attain this position and by power I don't mean like over people but just of our own abilities and then use that for the greater good agreed I I totally resonate with everything you said and I also feel it sucks to have to go through it but if we don't how do we get to the other side how do we get to understanding the expansion how do we get to the impetus the reason behind going inward and learning how to heal ourselves yeah I've always been a super inner focused person anyway as an introvert but and as a INFJ as a Scorpio everything about me just makes me very inward focused but I think I had to be forced inward even more same yeah yes I'm also introverted also an INFJ I'm not a Scorpio though I'm an Aries oh yes but see other things we have we did talk about that before yes so the INFJ for those of you that don't know is the Myers-Briggs personality test assessment type that is only I believe 1.

5 or 2 percent of the female population so it's a very rare personality type and I've only had one other on the show so far and I love connecting with other women that are INFJs because when you see the different memes that are out there and things and you're like yes oh my that's me yes and you don't see reflections of you very often actually mine switched when I was in university I was an INTJ I was more on the thinking and then when I had my intuitive awakening it switched to INFJ to the more feeling aspect of that spectrum so and I am an INFJ dash T,

T for turbulent I don't know if you are but I'm very turbulent that's new for me I'd actually don't know the modifier if you're the person that sends an email and then goes back and reads it if you're the person that sends a text and then worries that they're going to read into it and that you might have said the wrong thing you're turbulent yeah that's totally me the business that I got into after academia was editing so oh yes yeah yeah that totally makes sense yes yes so the constant did I say the wrong thing I hope I didn't upset anybody I hope they didn't take it the wrong way that's all turbulence I mean as it sounds yeah yes so wow another synchronicity yes well the other thing that I find so interesting about your story and the thing that I feel is important to stress to listeners that listen to these stories and and say well maybe they have their own thing going on but it's not exactly what we're talking about and they feel yeah but I can't tell anybody about this and I can't come out with this because I'm this or that and I have to do xyz and this or that will happen how do people overcome all of the cultural training that we've been forced to have to allow these more ethereal and metaphysical and the defined feminine callings that we have how do you overcome those challenges you find a supportive community of like-minded souls yes you don't have to share all of who you are with everyone in your life there are people who are not going to get it I am not here to preach to people or convert to people to a metaphysical minded way of seeing the world that's not what I'm here for I am here to support those energetically sensitive souls who need help on their journey and I don't have to worry about the people who aren't going to resonate with me and so it was it was actually a really big step for me in my intuitive empath learning journey when I found an online community of empaths that's when I realized what empath was because before that I just had the Star Trek version definition of empath which was this person who takes away other people's pain that's not it's not what empaths do that's not who they are and so it was a huge step for me was finding a community and being able to ask someone who had already walked my path but was further along it you don't have to share all of your experiences with people I actually have two stories where kind of new in my journey I was having trouble in my relationship because my partner is very science-minded and still is he totally understands me now but at the time I wasn't even comfortable sharing it with him it took four years for me to come out of the metaphysical closet with my partner who I had been with for 14 years at the time but I needed a bit of a break so I went to visit a friend in Vancouver and I thought this friend would get me because although she is an engineer she was very deep into meditation and what I thought was energetic sensitivity and she was big into self-help and energetics and during my trip we walked into this library and I remember very vividly walking to the DVD section and feeling this cloud of absolute despair and grief and loss that somebody had dumped their emotional energy into this into the space and I walked into it and I felt it and I said to my friend I have to go I have because at the time I had no tools okay so I said I have to go I just walked into this cloud of grief and she was like what are you talking about she totally didn't get it and she very quickly changed the subject and talked about something else and then I have another friend the same thing I don't even remember what we were talking about but he was like I didn't realize you were so woo and then went on to change the subject and talk about something else and so this is when I learned you don't need to share everything that you're experiencing with with everyone who is around you and it is okay to share your experiences with those who are going to resonate with them and not with those who won't so that is my tip for it's important yeah and it that's all about practicing discernment right it's my absolute biggest lesson to share with my students and clients the biggest skill that you need to develop as an intuitive as an empath is practicing discernment absolutely everything that you do with your intuition is asking yourself does this resonate with me or not and if it doesn't to let go of it with respect those are my two actually the second person to say that to me today because I was recording another episode this morning and she said the same thing so I hear you up there is there something that you are needing to practice about at the time yes beautiful and it reminded me as you were talking the whole reason that I contacted you after the event and that was because I had a healing session with someone that was on one of my sound healing summits and she told me about some of my past lives one of which involved dragons and you were the first person across my path after that happened and I thought dragons I have to talk to her and that was how it happened well I particularly love our resonance when we did a dream interpretation session together and in the dream that I shared also dragons yes of course I'm not surprised that you're dreaming of dragons yes well the really beautiful thing about the dragons that showed up in my dream that we worked together to interpret was that they were a symbol of reaching the thing that I was reaching towards they were the symbol of success they were the symbol that I had made it and that they were there to support me and be with me during my journey and to celebrate with me and that's one of the other really super powerful things about dragons as your spirit guide is that they are incredibly loving and supportive beings who want to be with you during your joy and celebrate your joy with you in addition to being there for you during the hard times because this has not been the easiest year for me for a number of reasons but they're there with you supporting you during the hard times but also they're celebrating you during the joyful times as well and I'm glad you brought up the dream session because you if you want to share with the listeners your experience with that maybe how you felt going in and then how you felt after how that was well how I went in was I had a pretty good idea of the high level meaning of my dream and my dream was actually telling me that I have all of the things within me to achieve the dreams that I want to accomplish and some of the minute details in the dream I didn't really know I had this high level understanding and what you and I did together through a beautiful intuitive collaboration which was totally unexpected by the way I didn't know that it would be both of us working with our intuition to figure out the meaning behind this dream and what came out of it was all of these little details oh this person to you in this context could this person be your self-doubt and I was like oh my gosh yes that's totally what that means and then we talked about the colors that were representative in my dream and the people that were representative in my dream and the objects like the quonset because we talked about this quonset for quite a while oh yes yeah and how the quonset was like this storage space and it was and like it's a safe place and how at the back of the quonset there was this tunnel it's just all these magical symbols that we interpreted together and it was just an amazing experience for me to dive deeper into my intuitive knowing with you as my guide for this dream analysis it was wonderful I loved it and I had the privilege of having a dragon reading from you as well which I just thought was amazing and said similar things right about oh you already have it it's not the fight you think it's going to be stop expecting struggle and then creating it and projecting it so because there maybe there isn't one so that was very eye-opening as well beautiful I'm glad I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed your dragon guidance reading it was so fun to do it's also what I like to do with my dragon guidance readings is make it an intuitive collaboration just like what you do with your dream analysis that's what I do with my dragon guidance readings it's not just me shuffling a deck because the deck does not exist yet but I have all the information for the deck and so I'm doing readings based on this beautiful really extensive spreadsheet that I've created I'm making the deck from it needs to be an intuitive collaboration between me and the person because I am not telling you things we are working together to give guidance through the other person me and the dragons and that's what I love about my dragon guidance readings and since we're talking about them I'm sure that the listeners would love to hear a dragon guidance reading now if you would like to do that I would love to share one how about Megan you choose a number between 1 and 64 and then to set the intention for a message for the people who are listening to this podcast recording okay 13 okay let me bring up my spreadsheet and 13 is the dragon crystal guardian of black obsidian and his name is Sidi and his origin is Iceland and he is a mid-30th dragon so this is a relative age this would be relative to human age not a dragon age and he is a black dragon with obsidian swirls of reflection and his personality is he is the intellectual dragon he is the quintessential seeker and philosopher dragon he is very thoughtful insightful and he has an insatiable curiosity and he loves books he's a really good dragon for us yes and he's quite he's quite a serious dragon and his dragon energy archetypes are wise and for me the dragon energy archetypes of there are eight of them and it has to relate to the energy signature the pieces of the energy signature of the dragons that I connect with and wisdom as a dragon energy archetype has two flavors it has the male aspect which is intellectual and the female aspect which is intuitive and so Sidi is a wise intellectual and intuitive dragon and he is also a very grounding dragon and the message that he has to share with humanity at this time is that all answers are found within learn to love to learn and so the deeper wisdom behind Sidi's message is that we have within us all of the answers that we need and we just need to look within to find them we can connect with our intuition we can connect with our guides and we can connect with source in order to find the answers that we need and when we learn to love to learn the answers are there for us whenever we need beautiful he's a very good dragon for both of us yes it's perfect yeah it couldn't be more perfect amazing well thank you so much for being here today thank you for sharing your story i know it'll resonate with my listeners and i love all the synchronicities between us and i wish you the best of luck with all of your endeavors and your upcoming book and oracle deck really excited for those to come out for you thanks megan i'm very much excited for your book to come out oh thank you yes me too all right well thank you again you
