Pick a card with me
my journey with tarot divination began with my maternal grandfather, Papa Juan Joba. he was a known brujo & tarot diviner in the Dominican Republic in the 1940’s. he passed away when i was 16. Papa came to me in prayer one night & told me
“it’s bigger than this”. in 2013, a major life transition brought me to a tarot reading. the guidance I received was enough confirmation to take that leap of faith. a few years later I gifted myself with my own tarot deck. Papa Juan’s spirit presented himself to me, LITERALLY coming out of the cards. it was one of the most wild experiences an affirmation came to me. from then, tarot guidance readings have become an integral part of my personal & spiritual hygiene. inviting my elevated ancestors & spirit guides to shine light on aspects of life, i landed here. sharing my gifts with you all, reminding you to move with ease & flow.
Connecting with Source
Reiki saved my life. i stand by that. it came in divine timing. it was 2021 when the world was still facing the Covid19 pandemic. facing challenges with my mental health, experiencing relationship issues, shadows & traumas from the past kept creepin’ up. i was also very desperate to leave my job yet too afraid to raise my son without a conventional 9a-5p. i took the leap of faith & went on antidepressants. the quilt of traumatized emotions was too heavy for me to carry & the opportunity to address my Central Nervous System came thru via medication. it was the ultimate dedication. around 3 months of being on drugs/medication, i experienced a physiological revelation & all of a sudden i could HEAR my thoughts clearly. then i made another commitment to myself, “i won’t be on this much longer”. i committed to learning different ways to support myself feel better. cue in Reiki.
Reiki curates a connection with Divine Source & created soul much space in my body to meditate & flow with ease.
EFT Tap with Me
years after learning Reiki, i was ready to move on to the next adventure. what other resources can i add to my toolkit of healing? In 2019, i started learning about the algorithm on social media & using it to verse myself on tarot divination. doom scrolling one night, the algorithm aligned me with a tarot diviner & espiritista. she posted about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT Tapping) and facilitated a short Tapping session. as i watched her tap her fingers along the energy channels of the body, i was transfixed with the release of energy i felt, even through the phone. EFT Tapping technique is a form of acupuncture based on TCM. after work one day, i experienced a panic attack, while driving. I pulled over to the shoulder & cried. some time passed, tears continued to cascade down my face, i placed my hands on my chest & my inner voice whispered “tap”. as i tapped along my energy channel points, my body chilled out & was finally able to get back on the road, safely. Tapping stimulated my Central Nervous System with the vibrations. very useful for regulating any anxiety/panic that creeps up.
