So many of us are looking for ways to simplify our lives and live from an authentic place. We are seeking ways to connect in a more spiritual way with ourselves and others. But for many this can be challenging. We either don’t understand what it means to be spiritual or to have lost faith.
So what does “being more spiritual” really mean? For me it means becoming more in tune with nature and the cycles of the earth, and becoming more conscious in my day-to-day life. It means remembering what it is like to be part of a tribe, a community, and becoming more indigenous. As I stated in my 2012 article, “It is time to return to our roots and create the new indigenous tribes.” For the past 5 years I have been weaving a new life for myself, a life that feels connected and conscious. Coming from where I came from this was not easy.
For the first 31 years of my life I lived in such an unconscious place, I thought that I was doomed. I worked hard at fitting in, trying to be one of the crowd, when all along I felt like a misfit. At that time I didn’t know I was actually a spiritual being looking for ways to connect. I believe this is what is happening with many people today.
Many are looking for ways to connect in an authentic way, yet have no idea how. Becoming more connected can show up in a variety of ways. Looking into the cashier’s eyes when buying groceries or paying for gas, or just saying hello and asking how they are. Another way is to do something kind for a stranger. My mother would always find ways to plant trees and give blankets to the homeless. There are so many ways to become more spiritually connected and live from an authentic place. One way to tune into your spiritual nature is by becoming more aware of not only your thoughts and words but also of what you eat. I used to be a junk-food junkie but in the past 20 years I have worked toward eating healthier foods. Since I cut out foods with chemicals I have found that I have more energy. Recently I started a green cleanse and am amazed at how much more intuitive I am. I have always been very tuned in with my clients but since this green cleanse, my intuition is off the charts. I can really feel the difference in my energy body. What we ingest is vital. Somewhere in our DNA structure there are indigenous cells. These cells are used to healthy foods, foods straight from the land.
Once we clear and clean these cells we can become more dialed in. It is this cellular memory that will assist us in awakening. Once awake our perceptions shift easily and there is no longer a need to stay attached to old ideas. We will begin to look at life with more compassion and understanding, creating more spirituality and authenticity in our daily lives. If you are one who is seeking to become more spiritually evolved, then look deep within. Find out who you are and how you tick. Change things that keep you from living your truth. Trust that you are a divine being with a mission and don’t let others dictate how you should live your life. Trust in your ability to connect and create. From this place you will be able to manifest a rich reality, one where you can feel whole, connected and at peace. It is important to keep a positive outlook on life and journal your progress. See where you are still negative or down on yourself and be kind. Go slowly through this process so you can learn to love and honor yourself. One of our many gifts as humans is the ability to create. We have this beautiful mind from which ideas take root and form. Use your mind and free yourself from old ways of thinking. Blossom and grow into the beautiful being you came here to be. When we become grateful for ourselves, and how we are showing up in the world, things begin to change. It is time to take root in the earth and shine our light for the world to see.

Thoughts of Indigenous tribes takes us back and connects us to another time, a time when we trusted our intuition and knew how to be stewards of the earth. It was a time when we felt a deeper connection to everything. In today’s world we are losing our connection to not only each other but to our beautiful mother a well. With so much information coming at us all the time we are beginning to lose touch with what is really important. Ask yourself what is important to you. Are you more caught up in what other’s think of you, or whether you have the newest cool thing out on the market? Now there is nothing wrong with wanting material things so long as you find balance so you can grow spiritually. Now is the time to go back to our roots, to remember where we come from. There is a certain vibe when we hear the word Indigenous. It conjures up images of a time long ago, ancient civilizations, and ways of connecting to nature that we have lost. It also makes us think of jungles and plant medicine, unfamiliar territory to most. But this territory is where many people are finding their way back to themselves. Those who are noticing something is missing from their lives are seeking ways to get in touch with their soul’s purpose. The people who want to connect and come back to the Mother are what I call “New Indigenous Tribes.” These tribes are yearning for something more. We see them popping up everywhere. All religions, all walks of life, are joining together to make a difference in the world. Permaculture, sustainable living, communes and more are sprouting up all over the country. Occupy “whatever” is the fad of the day and people are joining in force saying enough is enough. Because of this, things are changing for the better. I believe this is the time to take control of your destiny. If things are not working, fix them. We can no longer stand by and allow society to dictate what works. Clear your life of what no longer serves you and clear the clutter of your mind. I say; “If it makes you feel bad or is negative, it is a lie. If it makes you feel good and is positive, it is the truth”. As the old saying goes, “The truth will set you free” and freedom is what we are all seeking.
In 1991 when I began my path of spiritual growth I remember making the decision to be honest in all my affairs. That meant absolutely no lying. It was not easy at first, and even harder for those around me. But I told my truth and to this day I do not lie. I feel this is one way for others to dial in to their intuitive nature. Speak your truth no matter what.
Remember you are connected to every living thing; breathe in the truth of this statement. Once we tune into the planet and listen, all our questions will be answered. It is a waste of time to sit around and beat yourself up over things. To tell yourself you are fat, or not good enough, or stupid. Allow these thoughts to melt away and fill your mind with forgiveness and love. Love is the answer, especially at this time. We are in the middle of a great change and I feel this change can bring us back to our Indigenous state of being.
So, what if we took the word Indigenous and created our own culture, our own tribe, our own world? What if the word Indigenous described us as, the people of the new world, the world we have all been talking about, one filled with trust, peace, love and light, compassion and solidarity. How would that make you feel? Imagine it now. Let that image spread all over your being.
We are all feeler healers and once you clear your mind, learn how to tell the truth and trust; you will have the tools needed to create beautiful lives. The more dialed in you are the better your life will be. When you are open to the divine and fully in touch with your heart magical things can, and do happen~

By Morwen Lome
Isabella Stoloff is a practicing shaman that founded the Orange County Healing Center. At this center she offers soul retrievals, chakra balancing, and other such spiritual ceremonies. In addition, she reaches millions on her YouTube Channel. The links can be found at the end of the article.
Morwen: Isabella, you have an amazing YouTube channel that assists people in understanding the energies around them, dealing with their chakras and energy bodies. Would you want to talk about that a bit?
Isabella: Sure! I created this YouTube channel to begin to share the information that was coming into me and the healing that I was experiencing, and also to teach people how to take care of their energy bodies and to tune into their own divine wisdom. You’ll find that it is sort of a conglomeration of me and my growth in the last five years, and my ups and downs as well.
Sometimes the energy is really intense and I’ll make a video because I am feeling so heavy. At the beginning of 2014 we were coming out of the Year of the Snake and into the Year of the Horse, and it was very intense energy. I am feeling that same energy right now. I haven’t made a video about it, but I have been writing blogs and I have had a few things that I have put out about dealing with stuff at the end of 2014 and how we want to leave it. Do we want to leave it in a heavy state, or do we want to lighten it up? I know that this is being written for the people of 2015, but for those of you that are still feeling the heaviness of the previous year as you head into January, I ask you to look at those videos, or look at other videos that are enlightening, and look back on 2014 and see all the blessings.
Even if you go back and look at videos of early 2014 and use that video to relieve any heaviness, it’ll work. The energy still carries. Every group healing, anything I’ve done on radio show, or healings I have done on video, they work forever. So put yourself in front of it and say, “I want to release heavy energy” and tune into the Golden Light, and you will experience that uplifting feeling.
I do feel that YouTube is a great way to tune into the Divine. Now, with that said, you have to be very intuitive when searching YouTube. I have noticed, because I have looked at a few myself, I can feel some videos that are not my vibe. They didn’t work for me. So I encourage you all as YouTube watchers to trust yourself when watching a YouTube video. Trust yourself. No matter who it is, it might not be for you. Move on and find the one that resonates with your vibration, because we are all very different and what may be good for one person may not be good for someone else. And as the technology and information age comes through, it is a real opportunity to not give your power away, to not trust everything you read and hear, but to tune into your own vibration and see what works for you.
Morwen: Thank you. (pause) So, you have information about the New Year, 2015, and some of the energies that are coming to us. Can you talk about that with us?
Isabella: It is an interesting year. It will be the Year of the Wooden Sheep. We are leaving the year of the
Wooden Horse and coming into the Year of the Green Wooden Sheep which is a very prosperous time. If you happen to be born around the month of the sheep, it will be a really great time for you as well. It is an “8” year, which is prosperity, connection, and infinity.
I did a little card reading to do a monthly forecast.
January
I found that in January we need to have patience, just taking it a little slow. If business seems a little slow, don’t get discouraged. If things that you have planned for haven’t quite come into fruition, give it time. This is a time to be patient and set your intentions to move forward. Look at how you wish to move forward.
Look at energy that you are still carrying from 2014, and if any of it is negative or heavy, create some kind of ceremony, get a healing, and do whatever it is you need to do to move and let go of that old, heavy energy. And be patient as you set your intention for a prosperous New Year, because it looks good. We have a really good year ahead of us.
February
In February things are going to lighten up because you have done this work. Because you have set your intentions and had a patient month in January, there will be so much light around the planet in February. I have done a lot of womb healing and grid work around the planet. I just came from Bulgaria and the UK and doing ceremonies for people and this earth. I will be taking people to Peru in October to more of this type of womb healing for the Mother, and in February there will be portals of light that will be opening up around the planet, inside the planet as well, and the lighter and clearer we are in our thoughts, the more light that will be more light that will be able to come down.
So in February, focus on being impeccable with your words and clarity of mind as you raise your own vibration. We are made of the same material as the earth, so when we are heavy the earth is heavy. When we feel light, the earth feels light, and that portal of Ascended Master and Angels can really come down and make a difference on the earth.
March
In March have faith in yourself. Have faith in your ability to manifest, and ground that into your first chakra. This month is very much about first chakra work and grounding that energy in. Release any residual fears.
I know how people are; they look at their bank accounts and freak out. What I started doing, after I realized that every time I went to the bank and was stressed out about money; I could actually feel every single chakra tighten up. Every single chakra in my body would close up because I was so scared. When I flew out into the universe and let go of all the fear, and just imagined more zeros. I chose to focus on abundance, and everything would shift for me, and it can for you as well. So, become more aware of your energy body, and ground yourself in manifestation, because YOU deserve the best.
April
This month is about letting go of more fear and negative energy. Have a fire ceremony this month and honor the energies of the moon and the earth, and any residual fears – let them go. Any negativity – let it go. Write them out and burn them. This ritual of writing, burning, and meditating on the light that we opened up in February will be deeply healing.
June
Take authority over your own light. Let go of things that are not useful. This can mean people, guys! You just spent six months standing in your power, rooting in your own energy, and the people around you that are not shifting with you, they need you to say, “I’m sorry. I can listen to gossip anymore. ““I’m sorry. I can’t listen to you speak negatively anymore.” “I am working so hard on myself that I have to have people around me that more positive.” Now, however that we can do this in a compassionate way; not combative, not defensive, not calling people on their stuff, but really compassionately and peacefully saying, “This is the world that I am creating, and I want you in my world, but you have to do your own personal work.”
Take authority over what you have created, and begin to let that take shape in your world.
July
It’s time for a vacation. It is a time to reward yourself for all of your hard work and reflect on your progress so far. Whatever that means for you, it could be just going out in the sun. It could mean just staying still in your own space, but really congratulate yourself. Raise your vibration strong, because remember that when you vibrate at a very high frequency, the earth can vibrate at a very high frequency and the people around you can shift and change. So, really honor yourself. Take that energy in and feel grounded, and take a vacation from all of your hard work.
August
As you move into August, stay open to all of the new opportunities that coming to you. This is a month of opening up and expanding. Create expansion around your energy body. You have taken a vacation, you have done all of your hard work, you know where you are headed and where you want to be, and you are going to expand your energy field, create a ritual for yourself, clean your altar, and move the pieces from your altar around, and focus on expanding your energy and staying open to all of the new opportunities that are coming your way.
September
This month act on the best opportunities that are presented to you, and anchor your new ideas. There will be many opportunities that will be presented to us in September. Don’t pick the first one! Remember the patience that was with us in January, and sit with it, trust yourself, and pick the right one for you.
October
Now is when we will act on our new ideas, and find our new ideas exciting! October is going to be a month when the winds are blowing, the harvest. It is a time to harvest all of your ideas and see what has been working, and let go of what no longer works. You will be feeling the winds of change upon you in October.
November
This month will also be a month for assessing what is working and what is not. Be truthful with yourself. This is a year of Truth. Harmonize your energy for yourself, for your environment, and for the planet. November is a time for beginning to quiet down. You have had all of these new ideas, so much has happened in the previous months, and this month you should bring it down and harmonize the energy.
Be very honest with yourself. Go back over the years and say, “I am still acting out in this way.” Or, “I am still not being conscious about this.” This does not mean to beat yourself up, it just means awareness and enlightenment. Awareness is half the battle. Don’t however forget to be loving and compassionate with yourself.
December
In December you are going to be triumphant! It is a time to celebrate your journey; celebrate who you are in light and gratitude. It doesn’t matter how far you’ve come. It doesn’t matter if it feels like nothing worked out, just be at peace with it. We always want to focus on what didn’t work, instead of focusing on what does. Take that time in December to be super grateful for making it through another year, for the things that you learned along the way, the rituals and celebrations you had, the community that you created, and be ready to take a triumphant vibration into 2016.

Once I stepped onto my Shaman’s path in 2006 I knew I had to finally let go of the story of victimization that rang like a loud bell throughout my life. It took me until 2009 to really “get it” and now I know who I am and trust what I feel. As women we have to see the truth about ourselves and then be willing to throw what no longer serves us into the fire, and burn away all the old negative belief systems. Then and only then can we move forward and truly trust ourselves. I personally found so much release when I realized in the center of my being that I had chosen my parents as well as all the challenges I had gone through in my lifetime. Once I fully grasped the concept I began to systematically look over my life and let go of all of the stories that held me back and created separation. I began to write about my issues and burn them. During one of my many trips to Peru I found that fire was transformational, and sure enough the more I wrote and burned the less I was triggered. I looked over all the times I had given my power away to other people, place and things. I made peace in my soul for all the wrong I had done or had been done to me. It wasn’t easy at first, so I created techniques to use that allowed my mind freedom from the negativity and I began teaching others to do the same. The more I practiced, the better I became at shifting my consciousness. I truly believe when we learn how to shift our perceptions our life changes. It is time for us as women to take responsibly for our creations and know our souls so well that we understand what we are doing and why. Take ownership and allow the beauty of honesty, compassion and understanding into our lives. There is magic in being vulnerable, and trusting our inner guidance. When we do this we are able to make lasting friendships, ones where we can speak our truth with no fear of being judged. I have run on both sides of the tracks but I have to say being honest and open works much better for me. When I said no more to gossip and little white lies my whole world opened up. Once I set the intention to have loving women in my life, they appeared and the old ones faded away, a distant memory of who I once allowed myself to be. Remember there are no victims only volunteers. Who are you volunteering to be? Stop talking about your friends behind their backs in the guise of helping or caring. If you have something to say, do it to their face. They will appreciate it much more and you will feel better about yourself. Today I speak to my friends with an open heart. I say right away when something bothers me and I trust them to do the same. As we step into this new divine honest feminine flow and create lasting relationships it is important to be impeccable with our words. I teach my clients their words are spells and their thoughts are things. I encourage them to love themselves by being the kind of human that can walk with their head held high. This is how to manifest and have the life you desire. By being the best you can be. Shifting your consciousness is easy once you figure out that it all comes from within. If every woman in the world went to their mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends and said, “I love you no matter what”, and asked for forgiveness and forgave them as well, the healing would begin. If every one of us could see ourselves in the other’s eyes and become a mirror, this world would change, and mother earth would smile on her children once again. I dedicate this article to all the women I have hurt and to all those who have hurt me. But mostly I give this piece to those women who have been there for me no matter what. You all know who you are and I love you. Shaman Isabella Stoloff Isabella provides private shaman training, one-on-one healings, house clearings & blessings, weddings & sacred journeys.
