My dear readers, January has been a busy and powerful month for me. I can hardly believe how quickly time flies as I’m about to embark on an adventure eight years in the making. I haven’t returned to my home state of New Jersey since 2016. Together with my partner we are going out for the garden state tomorrow! We will visit his family and friends and mark our first trip as a couple. It’s also the first time I’m meeting all these new people, and I’m looking forward to seeing him in his element. Then on February 5, I will celebrate my three years of sobriety. The winter season is a time of deep reflection and rest. I’ve done my best to focus on both equally while finding a balance between silence and spontaneous bursts of creativity. Being present requires mindfulness and a heart centered in grace. I feel my life shifting into an empowered state of being as I level up from Lightworker to Lightwarrior!
Recently, in the last few days, I released two podcast interviews. The first one I gave for Just INwords was recorded last August, shortly after I moved back to Florida. I recorded the second one for Multispective earlier this month, a day after the exciting new moon we had in Capricorn. I’m happy to share them here in this post. I look forward to your feedback, my dear readers! Feel free to share in the comments after listening and watching.

In this piece my intention is to share the experience of life as a channel for Spirit. It is an interesting journey that continues to evolve as my gifts grow and I own more of the true frequency of my energy. This poem conveys the mysterious feelings that promote my ability to receive divine messages and create poetry.
Whenever I feel myself slipping into self-doubt or fear, I am reminded by my spirit guides to focus on the word resilience. The last full moon of 2023 was in my rising sign Cancer, which provided a complete emotional reset. I’m stronger than I give myself credit for. As I align with my higher self, I wear the armor of love and remain Teflon strong by allowing my soul to compel all actions forward. By integrating this information and using the energy of the first full moon of 2024 in Leo, I set the intention to shine brighter in all my relationships. It took many years of healing to fully hear my authentic voice, and now I sing loud and clear.
Your thoughts create your reality, my dear readers. Choosing which one to assign the truth to becomes what you believe about yourself and the world. Quieting the mind’s chatter by holding on to the soul’s truth allows me to feel my own intuition. What I choose to believe fuels magic! For what I think I am, I become. What are you feeding yourself, my dear readers? Make sure you allow yourself to be the masterpiece of miracles from which you hone your magic. Let your heart be your guide.
My beloved is the muse of my soul. Our connection inspires so many feelings that flow through my heart and accelerate my own internal rhythm. Together we are peace personified. I have never experienced such an intimate relationship. Every day I am grateful for the love that overflows in my life. This also applies to the challenges we face and which we will overcome together. My heart beats out of my chest when I look into the eyes of my loved one. He is my perfect match.
Everything I have learned about myself, both in the shadows and in the light, is growing my superpowers and sharpening my mastery of self. As Pam Gregory, an astrologer I greatly admire, says, āI live in an expanded consciousness of love.ā As I leave my old life behind, I no longer suffer from the lies I swallowed to get to this place of self-love and understanding. I’m here to revolutionize remembering who we really are. We are all connected by our being of love and humanity.
Can you hear the call of love, my dear readers? By accepting what life has taught me, pain and suffering will end. Obligated to my joyful heart by answering the call of love. Knowing and living my purpose fulfills every ounce of life force in my being. Living by feeling and movement with a heart centered in grace. I share my magic to inspire others to share their magic. Each of us has our own unique gifts. YOU are needed now more than ever! I believe in you, and I love you!

My name is Maria Teresa Pratico-Swanson. I am a woman walking this life journey in truth. I am a certified master shaman specializing in healing trauma. Practicing the art of shamanism has transformed my life, freed my authentic spirit, awakened and liberated my soul. I use my sensitivities as superpowers, and the power of love fuels my magic as a shamanic healer. My creativity is the expression, purpose and passion of my soul, which I express through my healing services, writing poetry, hosting a blog, dancing, painting and practicing yoga. My motto is: ‘Triumphant over trauma’. In 2011, after a lifetime of trauma, I became aware that I needed to reconnect with my soul. Healing integrates all aspects of my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self. Unraveling conditioning and programming continues to require introspection, patience and grace. I am committed to my practice of healing from the human experience as an awakened soul. I believe I am here to help heal humanity one heart at a time. I offer shamanic healing sessions and have written 6 books of poetry available on Amazon. āEmotional Reflectionsā āThe Language of My Soulā āThe Song of My Heartā āThe Light of My Soulā āThe Journey of My Soul: Lessons Learned Through Loveā and āThe Dance of My Soul, Accepting the Shadows as I embrace the light: poems about death and rebirth” For more detailed information follow this link https://linktr.ee/Emotionalmusings In light and in shadow, always with love. Namaste. View all posts by MariaTeresa
