You’ve Always Had the Power
This whole process of becoming has been miraculous. I’ve known for a long time I was here for a reason, but I still questioned whether I was on the right path, doing it right, and the biggest question - will I know what I’m supposed to do when I’m needed?
Feeling The Change
Because I could so clearly see and feel the rift between the old and new ways when I left my job last fall, I knew a big change was coming. At that time, I kept hearing people predict we were headed for another pandemic, but even then I knew that wasn’t it. I remember saying we could feel something big was coming just like we did in the fall of 2019 before COVID, but that didn’t mean it was going to be the same thing. I thought it was more likely it would be something so big that we couldn’t possible imagine it, which was how COVID hit most of us.
During this transition for me, my reiki trainer had coached me with her intuitive guidance and I remember saying to her it felt so strange to be standing on the edge of this great thing about to transpire. This transitional time that had been predicted for so long was upon us and I knew this was it. Don’t get me wrong, I still didn’t know what I was supposed to do. I had a few creative ideas swirling around in my head, but I wasn’t ready to move forward.
A Call To Arms
Like so many others, I woke up in the middle of the night on election night, knowing something was wrong and one word repeated in my head…”Kamala.” Waking up to the reality of our situation on November 6th, I was relieved and in awe to see so many people posting to social media they had a similar experience. This “4am Club” as it was to be coined by @GiaPrism on TikTok, gave me hope. It filled me with joy seeing so many people so tapped into their own knowing and what truth feels like, they can see through deception. When you can recognize truth in your own body, you can never be controlled.
It was the 4am Club call to arms that finally lit a fire under me to start showing up spiritually in the world, but in classic Lisa fashion, I spent weeks trying to line everything up perfectly behind the scenes. At first I didn’t even feel comfortable sharing my ideas because it all felt too new and vulnerable, but on a whim I attended a free energy share event that would propel me forward.
Synchronistic Connections
Because the event was the evening of the big game in New Orleans, the host and I were the only two in attendance. Even as we chatted, I didn’t share my plans with her. What she knew was I was a certified Holy Fire Reiki Master and so she recommended I attend a local Healers’ Hub meeting the coming week. As is with divine timing, I wouldn’t end up attending my first meeting there for another month, but I spent the next weeks beginning the back-end work on my website to build out what was in my mind.
I still didn’t know how everything was going to work out, but I was taking real, physical action in the world towards my vision and things began to fall into place quickly. The day I attended the meeting, I hit publish on the Milky Way Collective on my website before I left the house and the spiritual practitioner listing wasn’t even working correctly.
I quickly found my voice at the Healers’ Hub meeting sharing my twenty years of experience in marketing and event planning to help the group brainstorm a promotional event they had been working on. I ended up handing out my businesses cards with the disclaimer my website still needed work and it had just been rebranded so it didn’t even match my business cards. And despite not having everything perfect, within a week I had a few leads to do marketing work for spiritual businesses.
Learning It For Myself
Being unemployed, I thought I could begin a reiki practice, but it never felt right. I was called to reiki in meditation, but I never felt I would use it to have my own practice. I was interested in self-healing and the possibility of expanding my psychic senses. Because I was attuned to Reiki I and II right before my Soul Journey in 2021, I began sending distance reiki out along my journey for the day, intending it should flow to all those I came in contact with if it was in their best and highest good and they were willing to receive it. Following my trip, distance reiki became a part of my daily routine and I began sending it out through my creative endeavors, and later through my marketing and events.
Over the last six months, it has finally all clicked for me. I don’t need to practice reiki or learn another healing modality to be of assistance in this pivotol time on earth. I only need to use my unique gifts natural to me. I came to the realization during my healing journey around 2019 that I was naturally gifted at marketing. At nineteen years old, I dropped out of the college I was attending for Theatre Arts - Acting because I didn’t feel I could sell my self as an actor, so this was a huge aha moment like Dorthy in the Wizard of Oz hearing "You've always had the power, my dear. You just had to learn it for yourself."
Bringing It Home
The most rewarding work I’ve been doing over the last few years has been focussed on bringing people together, collaborating for the benefit of all, and amplyfing small voices in the community with my skills. And so the Milky Way Collective is a continuation of that work. I’m going to use my marketing skills, infused with Holy Fire reiki energy, to amplify the voices of the healers and spiritual practitioners.
With the uncertainty of our social media landscape, I believe now is the time for businesses to take control of their narative. I’ve just launched website templates to help spiritually-minded businesses get online quickly and in the process we can expand the Milky Way Collective’s spiritual practitioner listing to be a shining light for the new souls just starting down their own path.
Working with spiritual people is my happy place and I’m so excited to merge these two aspects of myself to show up in a way that I have been uniquely trained for. I feel like all the parts of me are more in alignment than they’ve ever been and all it took to put everything in motion was listening to an intuitive nudge to attend a free energy share event.
