Devi records this episode from Baja by the Sea of Cortez. This year, if you haven’t already, perhaps make it a resolution to find your sacred place (ideally in nature) that makes you feel comfortably connected with the source. Remember you are your own healer. You are committing to becoming what you individually specifically desire.  Pay sacred attention to the consistent signs around you that resonate and speak to your spirit.  These unique signs are specific to you to be translated into your awareness.  Allow these miracles around you to become normal, allow them to guide and affirm you. This is the year…the time to envision the heightened experiences and feelings that you are destined to have. Stay Connected @DeviBrownSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we come to the close of the year it is a great time to reflect and examine the changes we intend to make moving forward.

Consider taking the time to prepare for the change you want to see. Continued blessings to all of our listeners in the New Year. Thank you.

Here is the episode with Devi Brown on Checking In and we continue the conversation on this episode of Dropping Gems. Michelle has been radically expressive about her journey and her experience with depression. For Williams faith and therapy can coexist and work to support one another during the healing process.  Williams shares how she initially questioned her depression, how would it look, what would people think, etc.  The endless questions that normally go unanswered and ultimately have no weight when it boils down to individual self-care.  Being authentic also means honoring what you need on your journey.
