GREETINGS SPIRITUAL ADVENTURERS
Welcome to the very first issue of Spirited Soul! I’m so happy to have you with us as we embark on this journey together-a space where weliness healing, spirituality, and creativity converge. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler on this path or just beginning to explore, this magazine is for you.
In a world that feels like it’s shifting-often dork and uncertain-it’s essential to hold on to hope. I believe one of the best ways to do this is by healing ourselves, transforming our past traumas, and, as we grow, sharing the gift of healing with others. The world can feel chaotic and stressful, and many of us are looking inward, seeking meaning, peace, and a sense of community.Spirited Soul is here to be that place for you-a haven to explore deeper questions, find inspiration, and maybe even a touch of magic. Together, we are setting out on one of life’s greatest adventures learning to know ourselves. Healing begins within, and when we start with ourselves, we bring light to the world around us.
Like yours, my journey has been full of challenges. Balancing intense work stress with caregiving for my aging parents, while supporting other loved ones, often left me feeling drained, Seeking replenishment, I turned to spiritual resources and found support along the way. Reiki, in particulor, has been foundational, and I’ve studied it extensively with Reiki Master Marian Hakata. I also studied Qi Gong under Master Robert Peng and immersed myself in Tarot at the House of White Tarot Academy, founded by bestselling author Dusty White, where I joined a global study group and was gulded for years by experienced readers. I am deeply grateful for their support and encouragement, especially from my mentor, Sharon Lewis. Eventually, I began reading professionally to help others, and I now teach workshops and private lessons as well.
Creativity through art, music, and these healing practices sustained me, and now I share them with others facing similar challenges. I’m continually inspired by new ways to reach higher consciousness. Amid the world’s uncertainties, focus on what I can control-my thoughts, my energy, myself. I’m always exploring new ideas, practices, and healing approaches, and I’m thrilled to share them with you. In this issue, you’ll find insightful articles and interviews that reflect our core themes: spirituality, wellness, and creativity. Now more than ever, I feel there is a need for healers to come together, to share wisdom, and to learn from each other. My hope is that over time, Spirited Soul Magazine will become more than a publication-a community where we share, grow, and inspire one another.
Thank you for being here as we embark on this new and exciting journey. I look forward to seeing where we go together, and I’m so grateful to have you along for the ride.
With love and light,
