Dion Freeman, of Healing Aotearoa, takes us on a journey of healing, Maori culture, spirituality, and so much more. This conversation takes us on a deep dive into the messiness, but necessity, of spiritual awakenings and how we can navigate them and allow them to transform us. : : : What can I do when self-doubt and worry start to seep in? How do I believe in my Self? Are you sure this healing stuff isn't just hippie bullsh*t?! What else is out there that I can start opening my mind and heart to?! ---> Our Invitation to YOU = Take time out in nature, whatever that looks like for you, and sit in silence. What do you hear? What do you notice? And now maybe there's an opportunity for you to ask your Source, God, Universe, Energy (whatever a higher power means to you if that resonates) for some guidance, for clarity on your next step or something you've been struggling with. Ask for a sign that you can't miss and then stay mindful and present and notice the signs. : : : Healing Aotearoa, under the guidance of Dion B. Rangiuaia Freeman, provides a cultural and holistic look at your healing, accounting for the balance needed in mind (hinengaroa), body (tinana), spirit (wairua), family (whānau) including the overall emotions and connection for each of us.
