*The following is an excerpt from the book\u00a0\u201cDreaming of Cupcakes: A Food Addict\u2019s Shamanic Journey into Healing:\u201d<\/a><\/p>

It was by practicing and studying shamanism that I learned to hear and identify the true voice of my own spirit, also called \u201cDreamer\u201d or \u201cHigher Self.\u201d\u00a0 Through journeys, I met this luminous being and got to know her more intimately throughout the years.\u00a0 At first, I found it hard to believe that there was a part of me that could never be broken, hurt, screwed up, or depressed.\u00a0 I had the tendency to see her at first as something other than me\u2013the way I saw Jesus or Mary as enlightened prophets.\u00a0 Her benevolence, beauty, and compassion bowled me over time and time again.\u00a0 You see, shamanic cultures have always known that there is a part of our beings that is pure spirit and they trained people to tap into the wisdom of the dreamer within.\u00a0 Our Dreamers know what our life purpose is in this lifetime and are the only ones who can guide us perfectly on our journey in order to accomplish our purpose.\u00a0<\/p>

At first, I had a lot of resistance to the idea that there is a part of me who absolutely knows what I am meant to be doing, how to do it, and how to accomplish it.\u00a0 I would follow my ego\u2019s idea of what I should be doing and totally neglect to consult with my Dreamer to see if this plan of mine was even worthwhile.\u00a0 I learned the hard way that refusing to go in the direction that my Dreamer was sending me in was counterproductive and often painful.\u00a0 When I didn\u2019t listen, I had a lot of messes to clean up in my life that took energy away from living my dreams.<\/p>

\u2026Shamanic cultures have always known that we are intimately and spiritually connected to the dreaming of the planet and to life\u2019s creations on earth.\u00a0 Nothing can break that connection and so it is to our benefit to learn to align with that stream of energy in order to create the lives we want for ourselves instead of giving our power away to others\u2019 ideas of what we should be doing with our time here on Earth.<\/p>
