 Charlie's Personal Transformation Journey Begins

Charlie shares her personal journey of transformation, starting from a childhood marked by trauma and a habit of suppressing emotions. She describes her former life in the corporate world, running a successful health and fitness studio with her ex-husband, but feeling unhappy and lost despite outward success. After experiencing significant losses, including her business and a close friend, Charlie hit rock bottom, struggling with debt, depression, and unhealthy habits. This crisis led her to seek help from a shaman friend, who recommended ayahuasca ceremonies as a way to heal her emotional wounds. In 2018, Charlie began participating in ayahuasca ceremonies in Australia, marking the beginning of her spiritual journey and personal transformation.

 Cosmic Nurturing Being's Tough Love Approach

Charlie and EnglishMystic discussed their experiences with a powerful being, referred to as a wise and cosmic consciousness. They described this being as a nurturing figure who wants humans to make it through difficult times and is willing to use tough love to help them grow. The being is seen as a serpent, representing the ability to purge and clear out layers of doubt and ancestral karma. Charlie emphasized the importance of trust and letting go of control when working with this being, as it can help individuals see life differently and have clearer energy. EnglishMystic agreed, noting that the being's approach can be harsh but ultimately done with love and the best intentions for the individual.
