Hi everyone, I'm Michèle St.Amour (yes, my real name, LOLOL, not a stage one), also known as SpiritMoonWalker, Medicine Woman of Indigenous descent. I live in a self-sustainable off-grid home on top of a mountain, of course!! LOLOL, part of the year in the Laurentians of Canada, and come winter, we drive nine days down to the Yucatán in Mexico, where we live on the beach and sail our boat, a bluewater ocean-going sailboat named Magic Dragon (yes, that's her real name too, straight out of Treasure Island... who writes this stuff?? LOLOL — and given that I teach mastering your own inner dragon power, the irony is not lost on me), across the oceans with our three rescue dogs in tow. I run the Chakaura™ Institute of S.O.U.L., one of the only initiate schools teaching the higher science of the structure of the Soul, the Chakaura™, and its essence, which is Love energy (hence the name reference, in case that wasn't obvious enough already 😄). I just released my first album, Your Soul Knows, which sits nicely alongside my novel, published in 2016, Chakaura: Awakening the Muse — a story for these times, written for these times, apparently before these times even arrived. I've spent 25 years working with subtle energy, applied quantum physics, and Soul consciousness. Fair warning: I have an awful sense of humor, believe self-honesty and laughing at one's own hiccups is the key to becoming, and I say it as it is. I will probably mention my dogs again before this week is out. Topics I love talking about: dimension jumping, miracle healings, life after death, aliens, superpowers, gardening, music, dance, food, and books (I'm a certified book nerd). Basically, if it's slightly unbelievable and deeply real at the same time, count me in. If any of that sounds even slightly intriguing rather than terrifying, we're probably going to get along just fine. Looking forward to meeting people of like mind here 🙏 Oshtalo....

For most of my life I was taught consciousness was a mind state. Something you reach through thought, through effort, through getting quiet enough to touch it. I have spent 25 years sitting across from people in real crisis, and that taught me otherwise. I began to recognize that consciousness isn't something the mind produces and in fact has nothing to do with the mind except that the mind can block consciousness. It's a state of presence, so subtle that it cannot be recognized in any traditional manner.. It's not even a presence, it simply is and it is the essence of the Soul itself, and the mind is just where it shows up once it's found a way through. In me it doesn't feel like thought at all. It feels like the void; i cannot feel it for it has no weight. I cannot think it for it has no intellect.. it is pure presence beyond the mind... Like something ancient standing behind my own eyes, steady, unmoved by whatever is happening around me. When it's fully present, I noticed my energy is high, my senses sharpen, my intuition is right on and I know things before I can explain how I know them. It isn't a feeling I chase. It's a feeling I return to. I began to notice: when that presence is blocked, life feels like static. Searching. Repeating the same patterns. Working hard at things that never quite land. When it isn't blocked, nothing outside of you needs to change for things to shift, because the shift was never out there to begin with. That's the piece I keep coming back to. Not raising vibration as an event, but restoring a connection that got broken, disconnected, or bypassed along the way. One that can be rebuilt. What does consciousness feel like when it's actually present in you, not just thought about?

Hi community, I am new here. My name is Maria Leonardo. I have been having a depression on and of for ages and I still keep pushing myself everyday because I believe that life can get better. Sometimes I am light like a feather, sometimes heavy as a massive rock and the integration process, of both light and shadow, has been hard for me to embrace.. When does the character development - in the shape of acceptance - stop? Do we have to learn the same lessons over and over again? I am here because I am tired of caring old patterns specially when it comes to intime relationships, being the hopeless romantic. I embrace change. I have been traveling around the world, looking for answers and happiness , but happiness comes from within and I cannot find it still. I lost my family in 2024, and it has been a struggle. The sense of belonging is far away and I'm tired, want to ground myself. I'm an art and language teacher, love helping others, I am a photographer, a PhD candidate finishing my studies next February. I learnt this year how to ride a bike. I'm Portuguese living between Portugal and China. If you want to connect, be the stranger that becomes familiar.
