What does it take to walk the healer's path?

Often the healer's path is full of trials and tribulations. But the path of the healer is not just about learning how to heal others with a particular modality. It is about doing the never-ending personal work of self-realization along the way. 

Episode Summary

Choosing the path of the healer could mean showing up for ourselves and our own healing or showing up for others in a healing context mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically or all of the above in a holistic sense. Regardless, of how we walk the path it requires a commitment to one’s inner development as a person and a soul first and foremost. 

In this episode you will hear:

1. A stellar interview with Weylyn Ember talking about how a tree helped her to grieve the loss of her mother and how nature can support us all
2. Weylyn's dream about what it means to "Choose the path of authentic wholeness"
3. A poem I wrote titled: The Healers Path (read out loud to some really beautiful acoustic music).

About Weylyn Ember:

Weylyn is a former biologist turned psychic wounded healer after some massive life changes stripped away her sense of self and who she was, and plunged her into a dark night of the soul. 

Now she helps women who are struggling with a life change that has left them feeling empty, alone, worthless, or lost in their lives. She helps them heal their soul-level wounds and get tuned in to their own wisdom to discover their unique path to wholeness, leading to inner peace, power, and purpose.

She uses a mixture of hypnotherapy, Shamanic practices, Reiki and intuitive life coaching to guide women on their journey of healing and discovery, and offers wisdom from her higher self and spirit guides through her blog at:

Thank you for subscribing, reviewing and sharing!

The thing that came up was accepting that not every one is going

to honor my transition and that's okay.

I don't need my past to fully come into my present.

It's okay for me to let parts of my past go.

Yeah.

As I move into a new phase of my life, because that is that part of transition.

Uh,

welcome to alone.

Traveler's guide to the divine.

My name is Amanda Luxe and I'm the creator of the elevation hive

school and community membership.

For energy medicine and dreamwork, in this podcast, I offer teachings and

musings around energy medicine, polarity.

As well as poetry and songs and interviews.

Uh, today,

I'm going to be interviewing Waylon Ember, who is a former biologist,

turned healer after she went through some massive life changes that plunged

her into a dark night of the soul.

So now she helps women primarily, to turn into their own inner wisdom and

discover their unique path to wholeness.

Weylyn totally inspired me to dig up a poem.

I wrote a couple of years ago about the healers path.

So stay tuned at the end of this episode, when I share the.

But first we're going to go into Wayland's interview and then her dream share,

which is all about, the healers path..

Because on the path to healing others, we do have to do our

own work of healing ourselves.

And oftentimes this comes through our dreams, especially

if we are paying attention.

And.

Her dream content.

Has to do with this concept of the healers path , And just what that

really looks like when it gets down to it, which it's not always pretty, right.

Sometimes the healer's path is not an easy one to walk.

And when I say healers path, really what I'm referring to is anybody who is, on

the path of doing their own healing work.

So that maybe eventually or not, they will decide to share healing,

work with others as a practitioner.

So whenever we step on that path of really cultivating those skills so

that we can show up and help others.

Inevitably, we have to do our own work.

That's just part of the journey.

And most of us who get initiated on that journey go through some

kinds of challenging, issues ourselves that we have to overcome.

And that.

Drags us onto the healers path, or it inspires us to want to give back because

we have gone through something ourselves.

Whether or not you have.

Professionally using your healers gifts.

Your life itself is a healing gift.

You know, just doing your own work for yourself is, is a gift to others.

So I just wanted to clarify that probably if you're here,

you're on the healers path.

So, and if you are, then you'll probably relate to this,

Our soul communicates to us often through our dreams and our intuition and

we receive guidance and that guidance often doesn't look like what it is.

Oftentimes those kinds of dreams come in the form of a nightmare

or an uncomfortable dream.

Right.

And oftentimes on that path to wholeness.wereally do have to shed parts

of ourselves that are no longer resonant.

So anyways, that's a bit of what this episode is about, and I'm really excited

to, , launch into this interview and then to have Weylyn share her dream.

I just want to invite you to listen as though this was your

dream really get yourself into a comfortable space where you can take

in the conversation and pay attention to your body, to the environment.

The sounds the happening.

Just opening up to the synchronicities and to your own intuitive knowing

so that you can get the most out of this sharing because there's always

something in this for the listener.

So when we listen to a dream, as though it were, our own we're really opening

up to the healing that not only the dreamer can receive, but the healing

that's there for us for our own journey.

So I invite you to take full advantage of this opportunity and really listen

with your whole being as Waylon Ember shares her dream titled choosing

the authentic path to wholeness.

so I wanted to invite you Weylyn to just say a little bit about what you do and

what you offer and who you work with.

I work with women, um, in

these

different phases of transitions in their life.

And, , we do one of two things.

We either work through a style of hypnosis called body-mind

bridge, where we use the.

Symptom that someone is experiencing, whether it be pain, emotional, spiritual,

physical pain, , or something else.

We use that as a portal.

And , through this, , hypnosis, we begin a relationship with the symptom.

So that's one way that I work with people.

And another way that I work with people is that sometimes it's

supportive for me to actually go into a, more of a trance state..

And so I'll actually go into a trance state so bringing people home,

bringing people back to the earth that is their body reconnection.

I just think that's brilliant.

Yeah.

I mean, we, we go through so many transformations in our lives, right?

Whether it be the transformation from child to.

Teenager, you know, into that maiden phase, , through motherhood, if we

choose to become mothers becoming the crone, you know, that transformation

into , that time of our lives.

And those are just a couple.

Through the death of our own mothers through the death of someone else

and an animal companion or a human companion transitions through

divorce, through loss of career.

I mean, there's so many times that we find ourselves at the threshold, right?

And often I have found in my own transformations through these different

phases of my life, especially during the.

Transformation when my mother died, I was so held and contained by nature

when she was in her dying process.

One of my only friends at the time that I felt really understood me was a tree.

And that sounds odd, but I would visit a tree daily.

I had a companion animal the time, but I also visited a tree and.

Deeply seen and held by my relationship that I had developed with this tree.

Yeah.

After she passed away, I spent three months living in the woods

and I felt so completely contained.

It was the only place that I felt that I could safely be.

Was in the midst of all of these other beings that just contained me.

Yeah.

My human friends.

Weren't sure how to deal with death.

Yeah.

Because none of them had lost their own parents yet.

And so it was really hard for my human friends to show up and

walk me through this transition.

So I found that I was able to do, to walk my transition period of,

you know, becoming motherless.

By being contained by nature.

And so that's part of it is that because I had gone through these

different transitions in my life and nature always showed up for me.

I saw how well I was contained and how well that the especially trees

were able to just hold that for me.

And that I could grieve around trees and with nature.

So I just.

I see how well nature can help us with transitions in our lives.

. And so that's part of why I bring that in.

, it gets woven in, in different ways.

I love too that we have like the sound of cars or

something going by in the background.

And yet, you know, you guys can't see this, but we're looking out

at the most gorgeous view of water and mountain, even though we're in,

in the city, it's just beautiful.

Beautiful.

Spot where you are.

So I love being right here.

Well, then I love also thanks for actually calling that out

because people often think if they're not deeply in pristine nature, that

they can't have a nature connection.

Right.

And that's a false belief.

Yes.

You can have a nature connection.

I'm an a, I'm, there's a lot of plants in this apartment, birds, there's quite a

few different birds that I get to where.

Engaging in their normal routines, including, , some Falcons

that live in my neighborhood.

So I have neighbors that are, that are Falcons.

I really think of them as my neighbors.

Right.

For sure.

And the crows and the seagulls and the,

I think that's why I commented on it because I wasn't

sure if that would, I wanted to call that out because even though.

Some city sounds.

I just love it.

I just think it's beautiful.

Like there's, I can feel your, I can feel the presence of nature in here.

I feel it.

I feel that from your cultivated relationship.

Totally.

Yeah, I know.

And I think that that's the thing that people can do is that they

can cultivate a relationship.

So even when you're in these hyper urban environments, you know, if you've got

listeners in New York city or in Tokyo or Paris, wherever your listeners hail from.

There is nature to be engaged with.

Yes.

And it can be just a single, dandelion breaking through the, the cement.

Yes.

But that's a life and that's an experience.

I mean, it's, and that's the thing that people, once they start to see,

they can begin to have a relationship.

Totally.

You can cultivate that from anywhere.

Yeah.

I love that.

And I'm so curious how that came in, because near here, you're

also going to be sharing a dream.

And so yeah, just the field of our conversation took an interesting turn.

Just really moving into how we can resource nature.

Yeah.

I'm just feeling that, so, yeah.

Yeah.

I think, you know, that's, that's something that I do love to help

people find also is how do I.

Get resourced through my relationship with nature.

Not certainly something that people can visit my website to find out more about.

Well, and I just want to mention that your website is rebirthing, but the

birthing is actually rebEARTHing.com

T H B I R.

Yeah.

So I think that's a brilliant, brilliant name.

Thank you.

Yeah, really encapsulated.

Yeah, really coming home to the earth.

That is the body and coming home to the earth.

That is the place where we live currently, currently

on our soul journey.

I would love to transition and invite you to share the dream that you

brought, , and to begin with, I like to just introduce this concept of we're

going to be moving through the elements.

Okay.

And so the first element is ether, which is, , related to the throat

chakra and ether has to do with sort of space, your intent, the context

that seed, if you did seed your dream or incubate the dream and with some.

Or if you didn't then even just like the context of where you're coming from,

, in orientation related to the dream.

Perfect.

I love starting there.

Yeah.

So the dream, I did not seed it.

But it was so profound that I woke up as a result of it because I knew when it was.

It's a snippet that I'll share, but the snippet was so important

that I immediately woke up.

And so the context of it is that I am shifting from part-time healing

work to full-time healing work.

And this was very related to what I perceive as some of my anxiety around.

Moving more fully into the gifts that I'm offering.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Okay.

So that's great.

Now we have sort of some context around the dream that you're

in process of transitioning.

And so I'll invite you as we move into the air element to

share the story of the dream.

Okay.

And maybe what you think about it.

Yeah.

Okay.

So, um, Was very short.

And what I saw was these two women who I knew from childhood and they were standing

in a line, they were cued up for something and I entered into a space where they

were and I got to stand in between them.

And I understood that by standing in between them, that it was.

Me joining them.

And as soon as I joined them, one of them, the person who was ahead of me looked

at me and then just walked away and I immediately understood that I had been

rejected, but I was not being included in whatever it was that was about to happen,

that I didn't belong according to this.

And they were demonstrating that by walking away from me, they

didn't speak, they just looked at me and they walked away.

And that's what made me wake up was because I have worked enough with my

dreams that sometimes I lucid dream.

And so it was, oh, this is information.

This is something I need to S to start to process.

'cause that's the beautiful thing about dreams is that we tap into the

subconscious and it sometimes for some folks, that's the only time that they

do tap into the subconscious mind.

Right.

So my subconscious was telling me something I'm in a state of

transition myself, and this is something that's arising for me.

That's ready to be examined, right?

Yes.

And so you had a knowing within the.

That this was important information and you will, and it woke you up.

Yes.

And then you paid attention and you listened to the dream.

Yes.

, and so before I invite some reflection, which is more of the water element.

I want to invite you to tune in with your body, to the dream.

That's more of the fire.

So in the fire fire relates to our third chakra and then that's where we,

it's our embodied aspect of our energy.

It moves from the heart and the air and the mind down into the physicality.

So when I am working a dream and I tune in with, with my body, , it goes

from the head down into the body.

So I'm wondering, I want to invite, as you tune into your body around the

dream, is there any more information about the dream that comes to you?

I would say maybe this is that air feeding the fire, right?

Cause we need air to feed our fire of course.

And so the thinking part is feeding the body part, which.

Many people, including myself at times in our lives

experienced in imposter syndrome.

Yeah.

And so even though I am already doing this work, there's something

about more deeply claiming it, right.

That feels maybe there's some imposter with, because I

haven't quite analyzed it yet.

Maybe there's some imposter syndrome showing up of, Ooh, do I

really belong in this community?

Because I'm claiming more.

Right.

And so I even am feeling my body, like almost resisting doing this opening

up kind of getting some elbow, right?

Yes.

And so these, so that brings me to a little bit of reflection, which is water.

And I think also I would mention in the water, not only as an opportunity then

for me to reflect and kind of impassively tune in with my body, to your dream.

And if you were on your own, you could get that reflection.

Uh, the universe from synchronicity, from watching and listening to how

life interacts with you post dream.

Right.

But since we have the opportunity to re know, reflect with each other here in this

moment, I'm just tuning into your dream.

And I'm, I'm very in touch with the curiosity.

That's the first.

Um, and then water also, it has to do with our emotional body,

to our emotional intelligence.

So I'm tuning in to what you're saying.

And my curiosity is how are these women related to you where they

ancestral, where they strangers to you?

Were they peers?

Were they older, younger?

I just have this curiosity who were these women?

They were, yeah, definitely peers.

And as you are asking me that I'm like, oh yeah, There is this desire

to feel welcomed by my peers, into this community more fully.

Yeah.

And part of that is me claiming it there's that stepping more fully

into it and saying, and announcing it to the world and not being shy.

Okay.

Yeah, absolutely.

They were peers and they were peers that I simultaneously looked up to because.

I feel in my body that they were, were popular girls, maybe

growing up, um, that had more, maybe power in our social circles.

, that I envied them maybe a little because of their positional power.

And were these people that you knew.

Yeah.

And they were from your youth.

Okay.

Except that I don't remember who specifically, but when I saw them in the

dream, there was a familiar, there was a familiarity and they were from my past.

Yes, totally.

So I did have , a feeling that there was something in the past

coming up that this felt like past.

But that's why I asked where they ancestral is this so far

past that it's, you're processing.

a rejection from past lives or from ancestors, or is this from your

childhood, your youth, your own past, and this experience, or maybe it's both.

We, you know, sometimes it's all, all the things, but it feels more current

when you say that I'm like, okay.

Yeah.

And then, you know, the other question either create curiosity.

I always like to look at edit dream both from the perspective of.

Metaphorically or from the external representation of who the person is.

Right.

But then I also like to look at it as if those were aspects of me.

So, you know, when I reflect on your dream, like if those women were

aspects of me and if this was my dream, I might be interested too.

I might be curious.

Is there a part of me that is rejecting myself or turning away from myself?

And how do I want to be with that?

Absolutely.

And I think because of this particular transition that I'm in, in more fully

stepping into my purpose and power, yeah.

There is, you know, we waiver in our own confidence, right?

When we're stepping into more power or we're claiming our purpose.

And if we haven't fully.

Sort of like stick to that claim right.

And fully come into the world, no matter what it is, you know, when, when

you're entering a new phase, it's it, there definitely feels like you waver

in your, oh, can I really do this?

Is this really who I am?

Is this really who I want to be?

Right.

You know, I mean, we experiment with that in so many different ways and I think.

There is absolutely a small rejection of the self because this is the unknown.

And before I fully step in, it's easy to back out of it.

Right.

At some point it feels like you've made this commitment

and it's a little harder to.

You know, whenever we make a commitment, it's like that signature

on the line, like, it feels like, oh, okay, I've fully committed.

And so I think that there's a part of us that we, before we commit, there's

an ability to, to not step into it.

But there's also in that place as a rejection.

Right, right.

Maybe I'm not cut out for this.

Maybe I'm.

You know, and so, yeah, I think because I'm fully stepping into my

commitment, I'm I'm on that journey right now of that commitment and

stepping into this, I think, yeah.

All the anxiety around confidence believing in myself is, is coming to

the forefront because of the way in which I am walking this path right now.

So it's very timely, this dream.

Yeah.

I feel the power in that, you know, just your embodiment of that commitment.

And as we earth this dream here, um, which is what is the outcome or a closure

or action that you would take to honor the dream, as you were saying that I

got a vision, which I just love that.

And what I saw.

Only one woman turned away from me and walked away.

The other one stayed the other one accepted.

And the thing that came up was except in that not everyone is

going to honor my transition.

Right, right.

And that's okay.

I don't need.

My past to fully come into my present.

It's okay for me to let parts of my past go.

Yeah.

As I move into a new phase of my life, because that is that

part of transition, right.

We release and to release, not just this person, cause it's not specific to these

two humans, but it is what they represent.

And.

It's also representing, I don't need full acceptance from my past the

people of my past, who have been in the past in order to step into my future.

Totally.

And so just honoring, like it's okay for her to walk away from me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't need her to accept me, whoever she was.

Yeah.

In order for me to fully come into who I am.

And I love that too.

Even if there's some version of you associated with your past self

and some judgment of what's okay.

And not okay.

Or acceptable or not acceptable or powerful or not powerful.

And you don't even need that part to be in alignment with

your, you have this other part.

And I love that.

That just emerged at the end here.

It's like, oh, they didn't both walk away one state.

So there's a part of you that is so willing to stay with yourself.

Even if this other.

From your past is ready to go.

Yeah.

And isn't an alignment anymore.

And that's how it works.

Right.

When we are changing our vibration in our lives, and we're stepping more

into our truth, we have to shed the old thing, you know, like it's not going to

continue to vibrate at the same frequency.

And so therefore the people will leave old constructs will leave then.

And it can be a little bit painful or scary, but that's, but you know,

I think what you're saying, really, as far as how to honor this dream

is to honor that you don't need those old parts to stay with you and

that it's necessary to let them go.

And that you do have the support you need, you are being seen and

accepted by this other aspect.

And.

You can be stand in your power and your purpose with peace.

Exactly.

And I think the last thing that I'm recalling from the liminal state

and that as you were saying, that is coming through again, is that there's

a community containment piece here.

Yeah.

The community may be walked away and that might've been an aspect of.

But I am still part of a community.

And so as I fully step into my purpose, I'm going to have community.

I will be held, right?

Yes.

And so there it's.

Okay.

I sh I, I don't need to fear the loss of my community.

As I step more fully into my peace, power and purpose.

That's beautiful.

That's really beautiful.

And it feels really good to be in that with you.

And I just want to honor that thank transitional.

Well, you know, I feel like I loved how you, we started this conversation with

talking about how you support other women and how part of what allows you to.

You is your own life experience has really given you context and the

ability to, to really support other people that go through different

things, different transitions.

But in another sense, you're going through a transition even now that, you

know, upleveling your own commitment to your passion and your purpose.

Transitioning that really directly and that, you know, through this dream.

Yeah.

It's just a beautiful example of how our subconscious and how our, how our guides

and how, you know, our spirit really communicates with us and helps us to see.

And when we're listening, how we can pay attention and then.

That just feels very empowering.

Yeah.

And was that dream recent or was that very, yeah, I would

say within the last two weeks.

Wow.

Yeah, very recent, so powerful.

And, and it is so powerful because we all, not everybody remembers

their dream, but everybody dreams.

Right.

And it is like this free yeah.

Gateway to the subconscious and.

This avenue to begin to have that relationship with the self, right.

And with our guides and with the natural world, natural world and all

that is the other worlds that exist.

Everything else that exists.

And that's, what's so great is like it's, it's, it's such an easy, like

here's a first way you can do this work.

Start paying attention to your dreams and just by setting the intention

of that dreams can start to show up.

Right.

And definitely when we know we're going to, you know, cause I think I, I invited

you to participate in this podcast maybe a couple of weeks ago or a little

bit more than a couple of weeks ago.

And so, uh, the dream came after that and that's so often what happens.

Um, when we know we're going to be witnessed and we have that

opportunity to bring something out, the potent dreams come.

Oh, absolutely.

They come because they know we're going to pay attention.

Yeah, absolutely.

And I've heard that a few times when I've invited people

to be, to come share a dream.

Maybe they have an old dream, they think they're going to share, but right

before the podcast they'll have a dream.

That's like, no, this is the one, this is the dream you're going to

share because it's potent because now it's not only your dream.

It's everybody, else's dream.

Who's listening.

Right.

It's your dream, right.

If you're listening right now, whoever you are, you know, like across time.

Yes, it's, it's rippling out so that when I was doing the dream work in your

classes, I loved doing those classes because it was so fun, especially in

a group setting, it was so fun to be able to reenter a dream and to really

pull that information from a dream.

You know, prior to that, I, I had done work on my own of just lucid

dreaming, but to do it in a group work.

Hmm, the potency for sure is exponential for sure.

Cool.

Well, thank you so much for sharing your dream and for, you know, allowing

your dream to become everyone's dream.

So even when we have these dreams of rejection for loss,

it's oftentimes a sign that we're.

We are evolving, and those are just old parts of ourselves

that are no longer resonant.

And that's really cool actually, it's, it's something to celebrate.

So I think it's important to pay attention to our dreams so that we can really know

when we are transforming or in the process of transforming and, and listen to the.

Uh, conversations that are happening within our own psyche within our own soul.

And really that way it furthers our, our journey.

It furthers us on the path.

And the process itself isn't linear.

Like we might think that we are way down the road and that we've already

done that, those, those initial steps of really claiming who we

are and where we are on our path.

But we never know when those kinds of lessons are going to find us.

We can't really know what our initiations are entail.

We just have to meet them.

And one way that we can do that is by gathering in community

and sharing our stories.

And that really helps us to feel, I think, less alone um, you know,

life is a mystery and we're really here to walk it in community.

I think in, in a sacred way, honoring how.

How it looks for each of us differently and how we relate.

So I just wanted to say that in case something in Weylyn's dream

resonated for you or in case you're on that point in your healer's journey.

Things are, , not looking like you want them to, we're not

feeling good and that it's okay.

I just wanted to say it's okay.

So I'm going to go ahead and shift now into sharing this

poem called the healer's path.

Um,

the healer's path is as much within as, without it's a journey of

wadeing through shit facing doubt, shedding fear, learning to trust,

to hone, to come home to oneself.

It is ongoing ever evolving.

Never.

Ever unfolding, but it takes courage to share our gifts.

It takes time and concentration to cultivate and gather to educate.

And remember it is not something we step into lightly because the healer's

path is not for the faint of heart.

It requires that we do our inner digging, reflecting, and the outer rejected.

We do our part and so much more because we are the ones with the

remedies, the comforting touch.

We are the hollow bones, the medicine gatherers, the wisdom, sharers, the

caretakers of the natural world.

And one another.

We are the remembers of that, which is mythic the bearers of magic and sorrow.

Pain and suffering seek us out.

And we will commit in inviting the off-kilter to find its way back to center

by honoring that, which has gone on acknowledged by seeing how one's trials

can become initiations by witnessing the wisdom that can come from one suffering.

Remaining as humble mirrors, soothers of fears, we allow, we hold the space.

We light the candles, the incense, the hearth fires, the campfires we

light the way from within, because we know that transformation often

begins with what appears to be broken.

But it is up to us to see the whole illness, even when it is painful,

harrowing, agonizing, empty, overflowing, unbearable, unraveling.

We are here to gingerly laced, the web back together with our words,

our gestures, our dreaming, because the healer's path is as much within.

As it is in the sharing of our comfort or potions our soul solves or affirmations

because our ability to help others can only come from our personal wound,

tending our lived surrendering, and our commitment to reflecting back

the healer that lives within us.

All.

thank you so much for joining me for this episode of A

LoneTraveler's guide to the divine.

I do have.

Some, , episode specific things for you listed in the show notes.

, some links to Weylyns offerings and her website.

If you would like to have a free exploratory session with her,

I would highly recommend it.

She's super awesome.

And, , also you'll find a link to the blog post that goes deeper into the healers.

And I also included the poem in that.

I also want to invite you to check out my website@elevationhive.com.

That's E L E V a T I O N H I V e.com.

You're also welcome to, leave a review on apple podcasts or wherever

you're happening to listen to.

And give it some stars.

If you're willing, that would really help me out and getting this podcast to

the ears of people who need to hear it.

So thank you for helping me to share this work and for being a

part of this sacred community.

And I really, really appreciate you for being here and listening.

Thank you.
