I will be sharing readings The Golden Buddha July 31st from 12 to 4. Come and let’s see what Spirit has to share with you.

I’m so excited to share this incredible event happening in Kamloops this September — especially for the women in my life who are navigating midlife, menopause, or just feeling like no one warned them how intense this chapter could be.

Midlife Mastery Weekend is a two-day experience (Sept 27–28 at TRU) that blends science, soul, community, and real talk. It’s not just about symptoms — it’s about identity, emotional wellbeing, and finding support in a world that doesn’t always make space for women 40+.

Led by Kylye Ralston (who truly lives and breathes this work), this event is filled with expert speakers, holistic sessions, and powerful conversations that so many of us need but rarely get.

If you’re curious, craving connection, or just want to feel like you’re not alone in this season of life — go check it out:

Trust me — this is more than a conference. It’s a reclamation.

A 2-day experience for women in perimenopause or post—where science meets soul for a full-life, midlife reset.

Soul Retrieval:

Soul Retrieval is a powerful healing practice rooted in shamanic tradition that helps you recover lost fragments of your energy or essence. These parts may become separated during times of trauma, grief, fear, illness, or major life changes. By bringing these soul parts home, you restore wholeness, vitality, clarity, and inner peace. It's a sacred journey of remembering who you are and reclaiming your personal power. The Golden Buddha

I'll be booking at The Golden Buddha https://goldenbuddha.ca/

Andean-style weekly reading for July 13–19, 2025, rooted entirely in Peruvian cosmology, earth energies, and the rhythm of Ayni (sacred reciprocity):

I’ll be at the Golden Buddha on Monday July 13th and July 17th 12:00 to 4:00 if you would lile a personal reading.

🌿 Andean Energy Reading: July 13–19, 2025

🌄 Theme of the Week: Paqarina and Kawsay

This is a week to return to your origin point—your paqarina (spiritual birthplace or energetic source)—and listen deeply to the life force (kawsay) flowing through you.

The mountain spirits (Apus) call for rooting, the Ñustas whisper of emotional truth, and Hanaq Pacha offers moments of cosmic remembrance.

⸻

🔮 Energetic Influences from the Three Worlds

🐍 Ukhu Pacha – Lower World (Inner/Subconscious)
• Ancestral dreams or memories may surface—old soul stories needing release or integration.
• Practice hucha mikhuy (digesting heavy energy) through stone work or breath.
• If emotions feel dense, they are asking to be composted—offer them to Pachamama.

🦅 Kay Pacha – Middle World (Daily Life)
• This is a time for slowing down and moving deliberately.
• Bring ritual into the mundane: sweep the floor with intention, make your tea as an offering.
• Check your relationships: Are you living in ayni (balance and reciprocity)? If not, gently restore it.

✨ Hanaq Pacha – Upper World (Vision & Spirit)
• Guidance will come through silence, nature, or synchronicity.
• Offer a small despacho to the stars—bay leaves, flower petals, your breath.
• Ask for clarity from your spirit guides, and be willing to receive without rushing.

⸻

🌬️ Medicine of the Week: The Wind

The wind this week carries messages from the past and visions of the future. Listen to how the leaves move. Sit quietly with your back to a tree or rock and ask:

“What do I need to remember that I’ve forgotten?”

⸻

🔥 Suggested Practices
• Mesa Activation: Lay out your sacred objects. Touch each one and ask, “What are you teaching me now?”
• Despacho for Ayni: Make a small offering (flowers, grain, ash) to give thanks for what you’ve received—and release what’s ready to go.
• Dream Tracking: Keep a dream journal beside your bed. Dreams this week may reveal energy contracts, guides, or soul fragments returning.

⸻

🕊️ Closing Blessing

“With the Apus above, Pachamama below, and the kawsay within me,
may I walk in balance, truth, and quiet power.
May my words carry ayni.
May my heart open like the coca leaf in offering.”

The Golden Buddha opened in 1983. Over time the shop has transitioned and changed. We now focus on metaphysical items of all kinds. We offer a variety of services including rune stone and tarot readings, energy healing, workshops, and meditations.

This image is a visual representation of Andean cosmology, depicting the three sacred worlds:

⸻

🌌 Hanaq Pacha (Upper World)

At the top, we see great luminous beings, star elders, and an angelic condor-like figure—representing divine intelligence, spirit guides, and celestial wisdom. This is the realm of vision, soul purpose, and cosmic guidance.

⸻

🌿 Kay Pacha (Middle World)

In the center, a shaman or paq’o sits in ceremony with a mesa (sacred altar), connecting with nature and the stars. This world is Earth, the human realm, where we live, heal, and walk in ayni with nature and spirit.

⸻

🌑 Ukhu Pacha (Lower World)

Below, in the roots and shadows, live serpents and ancestral symbols. This underworld is the realm of memory, deep soul, and subconscious healing—where soul retrieval and shadow work take place.

⸻

Together, these realms form the sacred bridge between Earth and Cosmos, a central principle in Andean spiritual practice.

🙏 What Is God in Peruvian Thought?

God is not a who, but a relationship.
• A sacred relationship with the land.
• A living conversation with the cosmos.
• A dynamic flow of giving and receiving — energy, wisdom, love.
