21st Century Huna™ Spiritual Empowerment

July 23, 2023 by Sheila Winter Wallace

Back in the early 1990’s I read a book by Dan Millman, The Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior. It related his spiritual learnings through the teachings of a female Kahuna in Hawaii. I loved the book; it was deep and it was magical. Little did I know that, 5 years later, I would find myself on the Big Island of Hawaii in 1997 for my first entry into learning the ancient Hawaiian philosophy of Huna. I started out as a novice student and 5 years later was invited to become one of the teachers for the school - the halau - I was studying at. I met people from all over the world who were intuitively called to Hawaii to discover more about themselves. Over the years, I made 22 trips to Hawaii. I believe now that those trips were preparing me - unknowingly - to navigate the times we are now living in, so that I can share what is possible with others who are looking to make sense of their worlds.

Money and uncertainty

July 10, 2023 by Sheila Winter Wallace

We are in a time of unprecedented stress these days when it comes to the money conversation. Somehow, I think that I have been preparing for this conversation all of my life.

If the last three years have pointed out anything, both globally and locally, we are in movement of massive change, whether we like where it is going or not. Everything holds its opposite, so, as we discover what we don’t like about the situations we find ourselves in, we also get to uncover the good which may not have been obvious before.

Cultivate the consciously unexpected.

I am at an age where I have lived far more of my life than what remains. I have moments where I can imagine myself going strong for another 15 to 20 years. At the same time, I have moments when I think I am just about done. In the middle of this continuum, I know that my ‘work’ here, my living on planet earth, is essential, if not yet complete.

My life has been about evolving myself in the good company of others as aspects of my consciousness. Thing is, there was a time when I would not let myself know the potential I carried for living. Somehow, I heard ridicule about my daydreams and shut that down.

There were long and extended periods of time when I was just plain scared to speak out. Would I be accepted and appreciated for thinking differently OR would I be refused, rejected and shamed? I learned very quickly that if I kept my mouth shut, all would be OK.

The Power of Language and Metaphor: Leveraging Body Genius for Change

February 06, 2023 by Sheila Winter Wallace

One of the best things I ever did for myself was to enter into the study of NeuroLinguistic programming. As a practitioner of a plethora of healing modalities, the study and practice of NLP helped me to get in touch with constructs of mind which, in fact, were making me sick. It was a game changer.

I once heard my teacher John Overdurf say that “everything in life is an anchor.”

So often we look to what we think a healing modality will do to solve our problems, when in fact it’s not the modality, per se, which will make us well; rather, it is the reframing of the neurological anchors that are holding problems, or whatever we call them, in place. It is all a matter of perspective and how we think in terms of logical levels of thought.

Suffering: Self-Hypnosis to the Familiar

January 30, 2023 by Sheila Winter Wallace

So often, our conditioned default is to disassociate, deny, avoid and ignore the internal truth we carry so that we can fit into whatever situation we find ourselves in. That truth includes the sensations we are experiencing in our body, how we are feeling (our emotional state), and the truth about what we really want. Note that when we physically hurt, it’s worth considering that we might be experiencing emotional resistance to something we don’t want, yet feel compelled to engage. Because we betray ourselves, again and again to that resistance (call it our default mode), illness finally catches up with us, out of alignment with our potential to feel really well.
