Rediscovering Reverence: The Sacred Journey of Returning to Awe and Wonder

Key Points About Our Chat

• Ancestral and Land Connection: Brenda highlights her deep connection to her ancestral roots in Nicaragua and the importance of acknowledging and healing the relationships with both land and ancestors.

• Shift from Fifth Sun to Sixth Sun: Brenda explains the Mesoamerican belief in a transition from the time of the fifth sun, marked by duality, separation, and patriarchy, to the time of the sixth sun. This shift involves restoring balance between the masculine and feminine energies, embracing unity consciousness, and aligning with nature and the universe.

• Importance of Dreaming: Brenda emphasizes the return of practices related to dreaming, such as lucid dreaming and dream schools, as part of the transition to the sixth sun. These practices allow individuals to access higher states of consciousness and co-create their reality.

• Reconnecting with Elements: Brenda encourages people to cultivate relationships with the four elements—earth, water, wind, and fire. She suggests showing gratitude, making offerings, and engaging in mindful practices to connect with these elements on a daily basis.

• Karmic Ancestral Healing: Brenda stresses the urgency of karmic ancestral healing to release burdens carried by individuals and future generations. She advises seeking guidance from healthy ancestral connections and gradually working with different layers of ancestral energy.
