What if it was safe to receive?
Lessons from a mastermind with millionaires, and my adventures with Colombian shamans.
What if receiving was safe?
Colombia has emptied me of fear, loved me har, and swept me off my feet.
Into my deepest heart.
As I sat on a raft in the middle of the jungle river, surrounded by virgin nature, butterflies, wild water, and my crew, 7-figure entrepreneurs, their partners, and our Colombian local guides, I felt at home.
Just being.
Contemplating how I got here, as my whole body was relaxing into the beat of the water’s current underneath me, the sun’s warmth on my skin, my wet clothes cooling me down.
This was definitely not my plan a few years ago when I left everything behind to find my purpose.
It was then, that I hired business coach, Ron Reich, one of my many mentors, who has since helped me create my coaching practice in a way that felt right for me.
Little did I know, how our work relationship would forge into a friendship, whereby he has now invited me to step in and coach his clients, this time by flying into his high-level Mastermind experience in Medellin.
Here he was sitting ahead of me at the top of our raft, with his Colombian wife, surrounded by his clients and the guests he invited as expert facilitators and speakers: including myself.
It is an honour and a privilege to know I came back to my homeland through an invitation to contribute to the prosperity and peace of others by doing what I love.
It took a lot of guts, a lot of trust, faith, and many, many detours to be sitting where I was.
And also.. none of it matters.
I have no clue what the bigger picture is about yet.
God’s plan is better than mine, this I know.
As I spent the week in this mastermind, guiding embodiment practices in between business strategy sessions, I felt the depth of how much we are all the same, craving nothing but to feel worthy of love, to receive grace without having to do or become anything other but what we are.
I saw the beauty of these people, whose path is to build wealth so that they can share it with others.
I was humbled and in reverence to God’s plan, always working through each and every one of us, in a very unique and mysterious way.
My path was to sit and receive this guidance.
It has always been that.
This is why, this was the first time in two years and a half that I had left my little shell in suburbia, and came out to experience the world.
I was contemplating all of this, looking at the wild, peaceful jungle, feeling a longing to just merge with it, as I heard Ron ask, “Sasha are you ok? You are so quiet..?
“I am. I am in Bliss.”
I said, fully feeling the truth of that statement.
It was not just my business or my work, that brought me here, it was embodying my intuitive bliss, which took years of inner work, and guidance from my teachers and coaches.
Suddenly a magical voice shook me out of my silence: “Sasha?”
I looked up and saw a new friend of mine, Shella, a Colombian healer, artist, and yogini, looking at me, a woman I just met, and had coached earlier.
“Sasha, do you want to come to Palomino with me tomorrow?” She smiled.
Without missing a beat, I said:
“Yes.”
She nodded,
“Good. We fly out tomorrow. You will love it.”
I smiled, feeling the power in this invitation…as my mind offered some reasons why this is a silly idea.
(“Ummm…This is not the plan!!! You paid for Airbnb waiting for you in the city, you planned to “get back to doing stuff,” you don’t really know this woman, and…
Where the hell is Palomino?!”)
I looked at these thoughts.
Yes, and?
I am receiving. It is safe to receive.
Yes.
I waited till the end of the day when we got back to the comfort of our hotel to figure out what I said “yes” to.
I was going to a small town on the Caribbean coast, which was something I really wanted to do for a while, in the middle of the rainforest.
The next morning we flew to the coast where the Pacific merges with sacred rivers and flows through the jungle, merging into the Sierra Nevada desert.
I spent 4 days there, auspiciously celebrating the new moon and my 37th birthday.
And I found a community, yoga, and a space where I am now hoping to return later this year to study shamanism, and the indigenous way of working with intuition, healing, and magic.
When? When it feels true.
I am back in civilization now, excited to come out of the vacation shell, and “back to work.”
This was my first real vacation in 7 years.
How so?
This was the first time, I did not indulge my thoughts of “ I need to do….”
I just was.
Out of my “regular” routine, and comfort zone.
Naked. Open and without any agenda.
And. I feel like I am still in the jungle, submerged in the salty, abundant ocean, penetrated by the sun, and feeling deeply held by Grace.
Feeling the love and generosity of the people I have been meeting off the beaten path, some I will see again, some I won’t.
Letting myself Receive.
To me, this is the essence of what I teach.
Living your purpose in an embodied way-revealing its gifts, and lessons, becoming a better example of how deeply you are called to love, and serve every day.
And, my work is to help You experience this kind of magic in your own life, in your own way, to experience what your heart most yearns for, and to feel connected to your sacred Self, in alignment with the Greater will that brought you here.
One more note: the human experience of doubt, shame, and anxiety, (read: FEAR) will never fully leave.
I feel it come and go, every day.
But what can disappear, is your belief in the stories that hold you hostage to fear.
So long as you and I are in our human bodies, fear will help you see what IS not true so that you remember what IS real, and who you are in the story you want to live.
As I was leaving Palomino, about to board my Tuk-Tuk, I went to hug my friend and asked how I could pay for my room.
She looked at me with a smile and said: No, no. It is a gift. Please, RECEIVE.
I nodded.
Here it is. THIS.
I said: Thank you, I am. I love you.
And that is all there is.
And that is God’s grace.
And it is here now.
So: what is life inviting you to receive?
How does Grace want to fill your body?
What magic is calling you to open your heart to your own potential, trusting a higher WILL to take care of you?
It is safe to receive.
I am here. I see you. I love you.
Let me share some of this prosperity with you.
Let me hold space for your truth.
Let me show you how loved you are.
Just as you are.
