QUESTION: AM I ON THE RIGHT SPIRITUAL PATH?
PALOMA CERVANTES’ ANSWER:
We are always going to be in the right place at the right time because our ancestors and spiritual guides are taking care of us and guiding us to the experiences that we need to have so we can grow.
THERE IS NO RIGHT
OR WRONG PATH!!
Each person is different and has different needs therefore different paths. Our path is “alive” and evolving so it is changing all the time.
So instead of asking yourself if you are on the right path, I would recommend to do a self-check and find out if you need to change anything in your path.
Some questions you can ask yourself:
- Are you taking care of yourself? Use awareness to find out what you need to change for the wellbeing of your body, emotions, mind, and spirit. Do you need to sleep more? Are you feeding yourself nutritious food? How do you handle negative emotions? Do you have a spiritual practice? Are you dedicating a little bit of time each day to it? etc.
- Are you better than last week? Have you changed? If you look back can you pinpoint a positive change in yourself?
- Do you have constant feelings of gratitude? Are you able to be grateful for everything in your life? Gratitude is one of the highest vibrational energies that promote wellbeing.
- Do you do anything that may harm or jeopardize your wellbeing or others and nature?
- How is your day? Do you find yourself thinking or holding emotions like hate, anger, revenge, etc? Are you mostly happy?
When the question arises,
“Am I on the right path?”
change it to
“What changes and adjustments do I need to have a better life?”
Here is an exercise to find out if you need to make some changes to your path:
- Close your eyes
- Take a deep breath
- Connect with your Spiritual Helpers, Angels, Ancestors, Power Animals, Grandfather Creator or the Great Mystery, God or whoever you usually pray to
- Then ask the question making effort that it comes from your heart and not from your mind
- Wait for a moment and then deep inside yourself, you will be able to feel it. You will know if you need to make changes and adjust things. Nobody from the outside can tell you this. The answer is going to be looking inward
- Then give thanks for the answers received
This is why I like what I teach so much because it is about awakening the unique abilities that each person has. In the style of Curanderismo or Mexican Shamanism that I teach we embrace our uniqueness and improve it with spiritual practices.
Note: If you would like to submit a question here is the link for that
The Curanderismo tradition of Mexico is the ancient way of bringing the body, mind, emotions, and soul back into a state of balance. Customarily, an elder Curandera(o) teaches the tradition in oral form. Paloma Cervantes is an elder and instructor or “Maestra” who was born and raised in Mexico in the Curanderismo tradition. She works full-time as a Curandera since 1986.
In 1998, she moved to California where she kept her practice and started to teach Mexican Shamanism or Curanderismo and other spiritual modalities. Now, not only does she teach in California, but also other states and countries.
