The Biz Bruja Podcast: Being A Bruja Is More Than Trend

It's been A MINUTE! Finally got married in July- it was amazing! My fam came down with Covid-19 and as I juggled that and my retreat to Mexico and a project I am sharing soon- my podcast fell to the side!

I guess she wanted to come back! I started a video for my website and LOL I started talking about being a bruja and what that means to me. Being a bruja is more than a trend and showing up reclaiming who we truly are is in service to our liberation and to liberation of of our people. Being a bruja has always been intertwined with social justice and serving the community.

I hope you enjoy!

We coming back with more!

The Biz Bruja Podcast: Keepin' Up With The Brujas

Gemini made me do it! LOL or the Pisces Moon! Do you feel pressured to keep up with all things spiritual? That to be a REAL bruja you need to know all.the.things? 

I've noticed with the rise of spiritual, esoteric, bruja and curandera information online and the pandemic's invitation to heal- that many folks are pressuring themselves to be "more spiritual" or a better "bruja." Let's not replace society's standards or religious pressures with the internal critic pressure of "not being a good enough bruja." Being a bruja and a spiritualist is a journey of healing, exploration, expression and celebration! 

Perfectionism and comparison can also exist in the land of the healers and brujas! In fact, these colonizer mindsets and oppressions worked consciously and subconsciously to separate us from who we truly BE.

This episode is me riffing on my experiences and perceptions. We are all on our own path and while they may be similar or inspire us with similarities- we are all on our own unique journey. We need to remember this and listen to our own powerful knowing above and beyond what the trends, expectations or society's presentation of what a spiritual. We are here to reclaim and REDEFINE how we BE and how we thrive. 

Please receive what serves you and release what doesn't serve.

Let me know how this lands with you brujitx!

Mucho amor y magia,

Vanessa

Priscilla Stephan: Leading through the Mystic Archetype

Brazilian-American Priscilla shares her journey from wanting to be a nun or an astronaut to being an event coordinator, fashion jewelry designer and working in corporate to the Akashic Records and business leadership development.

 

She describes the Akashic Records as Harry Potter’s Library in the Ether- endless infinite library with all the information through dimensions, time and space- a great way to connect with the guides who have been traveling with us from lifetime to lifetime! After twenty years of reading tarot, Priscilla encouraged me to study and teach the Akashic Records!

 

One of the ways that the Records are different from other practices is that it requires you to be an active, empowered participant in the session.  Once we show up willing to be accountable and take responsibility- the guides are there to reflect that back with the most practical and concise information at the time, understanding it’s not predictive and that we do have free will. 

 

Her life changed completely when she studied the Akashic Records and describes living a life in technicolor instead of black and white. 

 

• Everyone has their interests and specialty in the Akashic Records. 

• Trusting where you feel the pull. Trust that it may go in phases. 

• Why she doesn’t feel called in the Records but rather download strategy and her channeled archetype system. 

• How her guides “the little fuckers” asked her to download a little book for us and it became a whole body of work.

• In the archetype system Priscilla downloaded, healers are under the Mystics category and they can be creative, intuitive and healing. Mystics are here to elevate consciousness on the planet with these gifts. 

• Priscilla shares one of the major abilities that healers tend to discount

• Shares what is an archetype and the five archetypes in her system.

• Her process of answering the Call and moving through the answering of your call.

• The Mystic’s kryptonite

• How healers forget themselves and go overboard

• Healers are more than their service.

New Moon in Pisces: Cyclical creatures~Criaturas cíclicas

Spirit invited me to connect with y'all today because it's a beautiful astrological line up for release, healing and flow!

I have a New Moon gathering every month in my monthly membership Bruja Rising and this hypno-meditation is created just for this space. 

New Moon always invites is to release and make way for the new. So many of us want to add to an already full plate, until we can't. Our health or other situations kick up to remind us...we are cyclical creatures. Criaturas cíclicas.

We are between years and phases as next week we move into the New Astrological Year with Sun in Aries.

By 8:41 minutes the meditation begins so please don't drive with this on and allow yourself some time to go deep.

Meditation- releasing grief and loss from our energy field and making room for joy, beginnings and love.  

Thank you all for your support, your kindness and your feedback! Please let me know if this served and share with friends!

Season 2: Full Moon in Leo: A Heartfelt Invitation to Shine

Yasssss we made it through Brujitx! Last year was an initiation into facing our shadows, loss, grief, change, gratitude, deepening our connection with our spirit, shifting, pivoting and healing with a capital H. We all went through 2020 yet we did not go through it the same. Each of us had our own journey.

Some folks took a pause, others jumped into the fray and held space for communities. All of you, and I have the honor of meeting so many of you, courageously made time for healing and re-creating community. 

For me it felt like what I had been preparing all my life. I started reading business owners at 16, represented by a entertainment company at 22, initiated at 23 and guiding circles for over a decade when I came online. If there was ever a call for me to rise as teacher and space holder, this was it! I thank each an everyone of you for listening, supporting, sharing, enrolling in the courses of The School of the Healing Artes- most of all, I thank you for showing up for YOUR ancestors, for your espiritu and for being the chain breakers of ancestral patterns that no longer serve.

Gracias de Corazon! I am so excited for your rising, your shining and your creations that I have been sharing on instagram and for the sacred spaces you have created in your hearts, your families and communities. I know as we have healed, survived and thrived 2020- that we are ready for the tremendous changes that our world needs to go through to honor all people, moving human rights and social justice center stage. We are still preparing, knowing it will take time but we know that it's the only way for us to create the world that every child deserves. 

In the episode: 

* Deep gratitude and a quick review of 2020

* The Cycles of the Moon and how they reflect our own cycles and rhythms of creation.

* The Full Moon inspiring us to the stage, to speak our truth and to SHINE- releasing all that is not us, remembering that we truly are whole and have always been.

* Spirit messages delivered in this talk.

* Someone on instagram asked," How do I approach social media as a new business? There's so much available, I feel pressured and I wind up backing off." I share my experience and an invitation.

* A short meditation, a time to drop in and witness anything that is constricting our sovereignty and our fullest expression

I hope this episode has served you queridos

Mucho amor!

Vanessa

Devotion, Plants & Spirits: Juliet Diaz and her Bruja Path

It's been a minute! While I started this podcast in October of 2019, three family deaths have delayed me throughout and I keep returning with my Ancestors supporting, of course!

So happy to share this conversation with Juliet Diaz. Christine Gutierrez, author of I am Diosa, introduced us for The Soul Book Masterclass and it was my pleasure to guide a hypnosis for the beautiful group of writers they have gathered- I joined as well! 

Juliet's journey is full of magic, truth, heartbreak and powerful transformation and empowerment. She shares her devotion, struggles and early beginnings connecting to plants and feeling the souls in the nearby cemeteries where she grew up as well as how quickly she moved from the life she thought she wanted to the one aligned with her calling and Spirit.

Some of the things we riffed about: 

• How Spirit will shift your life to bring you to change.
• How we align our paths when we commit to Spirit and our path.
• We talk about cooking with the Ancestors.
• How our creative callings are echoes of past lives and ancestor's energies. 
• Giving away our power in love, business or our spirituality. 
• You are capable of being your own hero. 

Take a seat brujitas! Get the tea or cafe out and chill cuz this beautiful share will surely support your almas!

Mucho amor, Vanessa
