Life as a Shaman!! What I've learned these past 4 years!! ❤️
IT IS NOT EASY!!
- Speaking and understanding poetic Hmong or other languages is hard, especially when you don't speak or understand Hmong or other languages fluently.
- Trying to understand what your spirit guides and other spirits are telling or showing you isn't always easy. Sometimes you struggle to understand the messages, what needs to be done, or what needs to be fixed.
IT IS A LONELY JOURNEY!!
- Your #1 supporter, the person you thought would always support you, may not support you at all!! You're lucky if they do!
- There will be LOTS of doubts, questioning yourself and your abilities.
- LOTS of crying, frustration, and moments when you feel like giving up.
- People will think you're crazy, judge you, and misunderstand you.
- You WILL lose people along the way, even those you thought would always be there.
YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE WORK TO GET TO WHERE YOU NEED TO BE!!
- Your master/Xifu can only guide and teach you so much. They cannot hold your hand throughout this journey because everyone's experiences are different.
- You have to experience your own lessons, make mistakes, and learn from them.
- Sometimes you have to go through struggles yourself to understand what others are going through. Those lessons will help you guide and heal others one day.
- You cannot expect everything to be handed to you. You have to put in the work!
DON'T LOSE YOURSELF THROUGHOUT THIS JOURNEY!!
- Always stay true to yourself.
- Don't forget who you were before becoming a shaman.
- You are still human! You will make mistakes, have emotions, and have bad days.
- NO ONE IS PERFECT!! Not even shamans!
THIS IS NOT A CURSE!!
You were given this path for a reason. You are meant to rise, learn, grow, and help heal those who need you!!
Your gifts are meant for YOU!! Never compare your journey to someone else's, and NEVER doubt your abilities just because someone else doesn't believe in them.
Lastly being a shaman doesn't mean you're above anyone else. It doesn't mean your life will be easier or that you won't struggle. Don't give up!! ❤️
