Have you experienced a crisis that felt like an initiation? in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 6 days, 6 hours ago CW: I’ve experienced many crises across this life – almost dying from my gallbladder at 17, being SA and raped by my ex bf at 17, my parents nasty divorce at 18, but the biggest one was the house fire in 2010 when mom almost died, followed by my 1st C-section and feeling everything and almost losing the kid.

Thank you for sharing that. That’s a tremendous amount to carry and to survive. Each of those experiences on its own would be life-altering, but to face them all and still be here, speaking your truth, says something deep about your strength. There’s a kind of wisdom that only comes through walking through fire, literally and emotionally. You’ve crossed thresholds most people can’t imagine, and it shapes a spirit in ways words can’t always express. Just want to honor that. You’re not alone in this space.-
I actually skipped quite a few crises, but yes, I’ve always been strong and just got on with it. Many of my friends don’t know how I do it and tell me so frequently.
