Welcome And The Big Question

Dora 0:05

Hola, hola, welcome back to I Mijita, Embracing Your Raíces, Reclaim Your Essentia. If you're here, if you're new here, my name is Doralicia Parxedis, intuitive healer, life coach, daughter of immigrants, mother, corporate girly by day, and someone who has spent years learning how to trust the whispers of spirit. And today's episode is a little different because today we're talking about something that a lot of people feel, but very few people talk about out loud. We're talking about when your gifts start getting loud. Like JLo, like, let's get loud. Woo! When your intuition stops whispering and starts knocking on the door of your life, and suddenly you can't ignore it anymore. You start feeling things before they happen. You start seeing patterns in people, you start getting messages and dreams, like downloads, epiphanies, moments where something just drops into your body and you know. This didn't come from my mind, this came from somewhere deeper. And if you've ever experienced that, this episode is for you. Because I want to talk about intuitive activation, like the intuition, and what spiritual downloads actually feel like. Lifeing and adulting. Because when your gifts start getting loud, life starts asking something of you. And that can be beautiful, but it can also be terrifying. So take a deep breath with me and let's talk about it. So grab your cafecito, your water, your beverage of choice, and let's hop into today's episode. Let me ask you something. Have you ever had a moment where you just knew something but you couldn't explain why? Maybe you met someone and instantly felt something's off. Like this person's damn raro. Or the opposite. You felt safe with someone immediately. Maybe you've had moments where you thought about someone and then they called. That just recently happened to my sister and I yesterday. Or you had a dream and days later something happened that mirrored that dream. I call it deja vu. For many of us, especially those of us raised in Latino households, we were taught something interesting. We were taught to feel intuition, but not trust it publicly. Our litas knew, our moms knew, the limpia with the huebo, so the egg cleansing, the praying over candles, the herbs hanging in the kitchen. Our ancestors had deep spiritual wisdom. But somewhere along the line, modern life told us, don't talk about that, don't trust that. Be logical, say logical, like rationalize that. And so many of us shut that part of ourselves down. But here's the truth intuition doesn't disappear, it waits. And when you start healing, when you start doing the inner work, when you start clearing that trauma, that intuitive channel begins opening again. And suddenly just things start getting louder. Let's talk about what this actually looks like. Because people imagine intuition like something mystical, movie moment, like oh gosh, you know, like I don't know, just Sabrina Teenage Witch or something, like a TV show. But in real life, it's subtle. Sometimes it's confusing, sometimes it's overwhelming. But here are the some signs your gifts might be activating. Number one, heightened sensitivity. So you start feeling people's energy, like an aura, like the vibe, like the spidey sense. You walk into a room and instantly feel the tension. So you can even cut it with a knife, kind of thing. Or you can feel sadness or excitement. And you cannot possibly explain why. And you don't know why. That's just energetic awareness. I often walk into a room and I can feel the tension, or I can feel like what's up in the room, and I have the ability to kind of change the mood in a way. Um, I bring a lot of positivity wherever I go. And so my presence in and of itself is like a game changer when it comes to holding and mastering uh a room. And I'm gonna and I it also happens in leadership, like at my corporate job, but also when I'm going to a party and things of that nature, like I tend to pick up a lot of the moods and the emotions. But again, we have different practices and different modalities to kind of clear ourselves from that. Number two is strong gut reactions, so your body reacts before your brain does. So this can look like tight chest, you get butterflies in your stomach, or you can calmly expand by just breathing through. And your nervous system starts becoming compass. And I actually have a sacral authority from my human design, meaning that my gut, so if I want something, it's like I listen to my gut, and it's like either a uh-huh, uh-huh, like yes, or a uh-uh, like not happening, girlfriend. So that's where you have to really honor what is coming up for you, and that's one way it definitely demonstrates is with your gut reactions. Number three, repeating patterns. So you notice, you start noticing synchronicities, you start noticing like angel numbers like 111 or 444 or just angel numbers messages. Um, there might be also certain things that come through, um, such as like symbols, like for example, cardinals when I'm sitting in the backyard or I'm walking the dog or I'm letting him outside, and a cardinal, red cardinal, comes, I know that's an ancestor visiting me. So it might be these subtle things that you notice, but or you can notice also people saying the same thing, like you see the common thread, like, oh, that person said that, and then I talk had another conversation, and the person said that too. And I usually, for me, it's it happens in threes. So if something is said by three distinct people or three distinct situations in a in three, that's when I know spirit god, divine source, universe tells me or nudges me to pay attention. And the other one is life starts feeling like a conversation with the universe, like you start talking to yourself. Um, no, not really, it's just more so you have this relationship with God. I I call him God, divine you, you know, universe, um, spirit, whatever it resonates with you. But you start having this conversation with there is this deeper meaning. Um, and I'm a very analytical mind, so I do see patterns, but it's very interesting when I'm seeing patterns like emotionally or mentally, because that's not the data, that's beyond the accounting side of myself. So that's another way you can notice what you notice. Number four, spiritual downloads. Ooh, this is the ooh, this is this is a spicy one because this one is the wildest for sure out of all. Um, you suddenly receive ideas, you receive clarity or deep truths that often happen in my sleep. Um, often when I have insomnia or in the middle of the night, I do wake up and start like thinking about stuff and researching things and working on things, or I just write it down and then go back to sleep. And I am clericognizant, meaning that information just comes to me, intuitive hits kind of come to me naturally. And I'm I could be talking to a person and all of a sudden I start knowing their whole life story, and I had no clue who they were before. Um, and it wasn't because they told me, it was just I get like diarrhea of the mouth and I just start blabbing, but I've been able to master it where it is very intentional, spirit-led. I tap into divine and akashic records in order for me to deliver messages, but they feel like they arrive fully formed, out of nowhere, out of the blue. Um, so it's not like thinking. This is not an inner voice. I know my husband, he's very skeptical about what I do. Um, but it just comes as a knowing, like you just know the answer. It's kind of like when you're in the classroom and the teacher's like, once one plus one. You're like, you know, raise your hand, you're burning with answering the question too, you know. Um, and it's more like remembering. Um, it's something that my body also recognizes and remembers when I'm especially when I'm doing a healing. Um, I usually go through the motions. Healings can take five minutes or three hours, was my longest one recently. Um, it just depends on what the person's going through and what I'm seeing or what I'm learning. Um, I do incorporate all the different modalities, but it's so odd that my body or my hands know what to do. It's like I have a ball of energy and I'm just playing around with it. And but the ball of energy is love. That's my ball of energy, is is love. And this is where things get start getting real. Because when downloads start coming in, your life may begin shifting, and that's where the transformation happens, if you so choose, because we do all have free will. Let's talk about what this actually looks like because people imagine intuition like something mystical, movie movement, like oh gosh, you know, like I don't know, just suburbing of the teenage witch or something, like a TV show. But in real life, it's subtle. Sometimes it's confusing, sometimes it's overwhelming. But here are the some signs your gifts might be activating. Number one, heightened sensitivity. So you start feeling people's energy, like an aura, like the vibe, like the spidey sense.

And this is where things get start getting real because when downloads start coming in, your life may begin shifting, and that's where the transformation happens, if you so choose, because we do all have free will. So recently I had a reading with someone I deeply respect and admire, Vanessa Rodriguez from the Feed Your Wild podcast. And during that Akashic record reading, something happened that stopped me in my tracks. She started sharing what she was seeing, was what she was sensing, and it felt like she was reading my soul's blueprint. So she talked about my leadership, my healing, the way I move energy for people, the responsibility that comes with intuitive gifts. And I was in her program, Wiley Intuitive Practitioner Program, the WIP, and I did that for a couple years, and that's where I learned how to read Akashic Records, open the Akashic Records, read, be more in tune with my um gifts. And that's definitely a podcast I recommend. And if if you so choose. And there was this moment during the reading where she said something that landed deeply in my body. She said that when your gifts are activating, life starts rearranging itself around them. Not because you planned it, but because your soul is guiding you somewhere. And with that reading earlier this month, that hit me because over the past year, so many things in my life have shifted. Like from uh my health, my priorities, my work, my purpose. Like before I was like, and I was just actually having this conversation with my coach yesterday, my business coach, was I always thought myself as an accountant, like corporate, that's what my nine to five is. I love my job, don't get me wrong. But I always knew there was more. I always knew that there I was meant for more. And that's where I always like when I would introduce myself, I would introduce myself as I am the accountant, I am an accountant, versus now I am actually working through this, so I'm gonna practice this here. She gave me a stretch assignment. And so as a woman who has transformed pain into purpose, I create spaces for people to heal, reconnect with themselves, and live more aligned, empowered lives. I do that through coaching, intuitive guidance, astrology, human design, energetic healing, and of course, my podcast, I Mihita. So there you go. I did my homework, my teacher, my coach. And everything shifted even until recently, and I just had my conversation with my shaman yesterday. Um, ironically, we both thought of each other at the same time. It just happens like that. Um, and I needed to see money in abundance in a whole different way. And until this year, with this cancer journey, breast cancer and chemo and everything, uh, let's just say losing the hair was such a loss to me because my daughter even told me that my hair was a big factor in my personality because I'm such a she says that I have a teeny weeny head. Um, I don't know, you'll be the judge because I just changed the cover, cover art for the podcast, which I will definitely drop a bonus episode for that. So stay tuned on why that is. But I realized in that moment was that my gifts weren't new. They had always been there, but now they were asking to be expressed differently, and now it's I'm going through a change again. Um, there's a lot of cool things happening in the horizon for Amy Gita podcast and for myself that I'm very, very excited about that I'll definitely be dropping. Um, one way to definitely get into the know is to join my email list. I might just drop something here. I I will be doing full moon moon readings and stuff as well. Um, but yeah, that's where I it's changing, transformation's happening. Stars of the lining, dominoes are are actually Mercury retrograde is over on March 20th. Yay! So all the things are actually happening, and I'm in a very different light. Yesterday I had a good ugly cry. If you follow me on Instagram at the Praxedis, you saw my ugly, not ugly, I mean I think it's pretty pretty, um, cry karaoke in my car because there's a song de Mana that really hits. Um, and I saw one of the comments, which is my cousin, she said that my dad sent that song to me, which I found so beautiful, and I'm gonna get a little choked up because that is true, that is very true. My my dad does watch over me as well as all my other ancestors, all my uncles and my all the men in the family. My goodness, like there's a lot of people that passed that were male. I wonder what that says now that I'm tapping into intuitively here on trends. But it's like, yeah, there's just so much to hear. Um, definitely want to dig more into it. But yeah, stay tuned. There's so much more coming in the horizon. So I'm not gonna shy away from like all the good stuff necessarily and not talk about the not so great lovey buddy, lovey dubby stuff. So here's the part that nobody talks about. When your gifts start getting loud, you might feel scared. Like I felt terrified actually. Um, until I started working with my intuitive um life coach, Yvonne. That's when I started realizing, wow, like all the spiritual stuff, like incense, I didn't know there was crystal shops, things of that nature, oracle cards, I mean you name it. I was Palo Santo, Sage, all the works. That's where, like, even smelling Palo Santo and Sage, like my body remember that. Like I felt like I was around a campfire type thing. I don't know, it just brings me back to I I don't have the memories. I don't know if it's dreams, but definitely past lives. Because intuition asks you to trust things, you can't always prove. So again, it's the what you can't see, right? And trusting what you can't see. It asks you to make decisions that don't always make sense on paper. It's very illogical. Like my if I trust my gut over my mind, most of the time, like my mind would be like, you're crazy. It's like the numbers don't jive, like something's not right, but in my gut, I'm like, nope, this is the right decision. And when I usually go against my gut, that's when I get my my ass whooped. Um, my butt gets kicked, um, ego wins over, and go things go to shit, actually. Um, it's happened multiple times in my lifetime where I've done something because I thought it was the right decision, or my brain was telling me what like everything looked good on paper, but in my gut, like I didn't feel like it was right, and yeah, it didn't pan out so well. So it asks you to listen to your inner voice instead of external validation, and that can feel really vulnerable, especially for women like us, first generation, high achievers, responsible daughters. We were taught to succeed through logic, through hard work, like work hard, Mijita, you got this, through pushing, but intuition, I mean, where does that fit in? Like, don't encajar with it. Intuition asks for surrender, it asks you to slow down, to listen, to trust, and sometimes that feels like stepping into the unknown, the uh, like I don't know, Rosa de Guadalupe, cue the moment of where you have the epiphany and the air in your hair kind of thing. Um, yeah, it's it's overwhelming. The fear is real. Um, I I don't know if in a previous lifetime I was persecuted for any of these things. But I know even now, like with my husband, I just mentioned, I jokingly mentioned that he doesn't really like, he's not fond of this type of work that I do because he says that he's I'm gonna call in like negative juju or negative vibes, which I totally get the shadow work. But as I've had someone confirm to me, my external validation and my spirit um mentors, I am meant to walk both the shadow and the light because I can do both, and I can do many things, which that was, I'm not gonna lie, that was gold for me when I learned that I could do a lot of like I'm multi-passionate and I don't have to stick to one being the accountant. Um, if anything, someone rephrased that for me and said, I am the accountant of people, which I truly adore and love. One thing I've learned about intuition is this it rarely gives you the entire map, it gives you the next step, just the next step though. Um, and sometimes that step feels small, like itty bitty small pebble in the road. It's a conversation that someone like randomly just talks to you, or you know, just there's something there, or it could be a boundary that shows up, like for example, when I snapped at my kids, like I mean, I have to have these conversations, I need to learn to delegate. Or it can come through as an idea, like in the middle of the night when it often happens to me, or it could also come through as a message, a message through someone, like something you read on a t-shirt, a song. But when you honor those small steps, the path begins revealing itself, and suddenly you realize you're living a life that is more aligned than anything you could have planned. It's universe, God Source is creating and conspiring all for you. It's all happening for you, not to you, it's all for you. If you're someone who feels intuitive, I want to tell you something important. Your gifts are not random, and you were born like this, and you were made probably like this too, but they are connected to your lineage, your ancestors, your life experiences, the pain you've healed time and time again, the wisdom you've gathered through all these years, everything you've walked through has prepared you to hold space for others. And sometimes the reason your gifts get louder is because someone out there needs what you carry, that medicine you hold. You are the medicine. Over the past year, I've been leaning deeper into this work, helping people reconnect with themselves, helping them understand their emotional patterns, their energy, their intuition, and very soon I'll be opening up a few ways to work together in deeper spaces, deeper containers, deeper things, fun things, spicy, juicy, ooh. But spaces for emotional clarity, for energetic support and intuitive guidance. Nothing big or flashy yet, not all the bells and whistles. I'm still working through the logistics, just intentional containers for people who feel called to do this kind of work for themselves or and or for others. So if this episode resonated with you, stay close because I'll be sharing more about that soon. Before we close today, I want you to sit with one question. What if the whispers you've been hearing aren't random? What if they are your soul trying to guide you? And what if the life you're meant to live is already speaking to you? You just have to listen. So thank you for being here. Thank you for being part of this community. And as always, embrace your raíces and reclaim your ascension. Until next time, Mijita, trust the magic within you. Bye.
