Receiving the Heart of the Condor

“Has life been difficult? Have you processed so much in your heart? Was your pilgrimage difficult? Were you hurt many times? This condor is telling you that was nothing. It was only preparation for the next part of your service. You can take on more. And for that, take my heart. Liberate yourself.” — Puma

As we listen to these questions, the flood of emotions of past hurts and challenges came racing to my awareness. And yes, sometimes it feels like I have taken on as much as my heart can handle over the years. So I was looking forward to hearing what I could do to change that, because there is so much more that I want to do in this world, in this lifetime.

As I walked up to the heart of the condor and gave my coca leaf offering, I felt a shift. A warm surge of energy filling my heart and my soul. Reassurance. I could do more, I just need to share the load. I don’t have to do it on my own anymore.

What a wonderful feeling!

I don’t know if it’s true that only those who are “chosen” make it to the heart of the condor. I just know that I am grateful that I am on my path that lead me there, so that I can keep giving more of my heart to the world. I am here to learn, to teach, and to be of service.
