Of the Waters Video Vlog: Part Two

How Our Soul Communicates with the Ego, Mind, and Consciousness

In this second installment of my contemplation on the commercialized, corporate Western worldview, I reflect on the many layers of this system. Our psyche and mind have been robbed, and our spiritual connection—our water, our link to the Creator and the Source—has been diluted by this industrial lens. As a result, it becomes difficult for us to see our true spiritual needs, our purpose, and the essence at the core of our being.

As I continue to walk this path of spirituality and self-realization, I find it is a spiraling journey back to my true self. I have noticed that this process allows me to become more compassionate, empathetic, and unconditionally loving. It brings me back to the true essence of how I feel about all things, viewed from a grounded, embodied perspective.

To continue deprogramming myself from this illusion, I must lean into self-care. It is in the simplicity of subtle gestures—the health of the body, the mind, the spirit, and the community—that I find true transformation. These small shifts make a profound difference in my body and my life.

Ultimately, what I am realizing in this moment is the simple truth: I must slow down. I need to take the time to smell the flowers and calm the "monkey mind" currently racing at full speed. It’s moving down the fast lane of the freeway, and I need to consciously guide that racing mind over to the slow lane, where I can finally catch my breath.

What is one simple, grounding practice or 'slow-down' ritual that helps you reconnect when you feel the world moving too fast? I’d love to hear what brings you back to yourself.

Where do you feel the most 'you'—the most authentic and free from societal expectations? Let’s share some ways we are reclaiming our essence.

Recap from Friday, May 29:
Cacao, Flor y Canto, and
Celebration of Life

Another beautiful gathering for the books. As we opened sacred time and space, we welcomed and asked for permission from the ancestors of these lands.

We called in the sacred essence of each direction to join us and support us during the evening.

We shared intentions, so that the spirit of the heart could help us manifest that which is good for each one present.

We communed with the medicine of the heart—the medicine of the heart of the mountain—to support our expansion and bridge the mind and the heart as one.

In this sacred container, and with the support of our ancestors, we acknowledged the Eagle and the Condor as they fly together in manifestation of a living prophecy that has been shared with communities around the world.

We honored our elders—those who have touched our lives and cheered us on—so that we may be messengers for Mother Earth, messengers of peace and unity, and strive to become better human beings.
And finally, we celebrated life.
We celebrated each other, because the celebration of life is everyone’s inspiration. We laughed, we sang, we shared poems, music, and stories.
The words of our ancestors moved through us that evening. It was Flor y Canto—In xochitl, in cuikatl.

Big thanks to for sharing their medicine music.

Join us for the next cacao journey—stay tuned for details!
