Oh, hello, and welcome back. Here we are, again with another wonderful episode of when Spirit calls. I'm so excited to have our guests on today. Maria DeLuna is here in the house. Hello.

Hi, everybody. How's it goin.

So glad to have you here, Maria. And we're just gonna get right into it. Everyone's heard a little bit about your bio. But I would love for you to just share a little bit about your experience your journey and what really makes your heart sing now.

Oh, gosh, I think everything makes my heart sing now. You know why when you go into such as calling of the spirits itself, and spirit really does call you everything starts to really awaken and flow inside of you so much that everything even from the moment you wake up, you're in flow, you're loving life, nothing can derail you from the purpose that you have within yourself. And there's just so much I'm grateful for and you know, I know you've seen like, what, almost three years now. And I've really flourished even further by really, truly accepting myself and saying, You know what, guys, here I am an ancestral witch. Hello, hi. Um, it catapulted from there, you know, like I consider, I can call myself a Lightworker, which whatever it is, but really, I am just a conduit to spirit. I work with them to help people really move into themselves. And there's just so much that I can truly say about where I'm at. But all it is, is I'm here to give light to the things that have been forgotten the things that we need to remember so that we can continue to keep moving forward. And yeah, gosh, I could go on.

Well, no, I just love it. And I'm pulling out from a few things that you said there because we are meant to be those beacons of light to shine that light so others can see their own truth. And I've been talking a lot about truth lately. And what does that mean for me? And what does that mean for you? Your truth is your truth that is not mine. My Truth is my truth and it is my own. And yet we still continue to judge other people for being in whatever truth they're in for themselves. But what we can do, like you said, we can shine our light so that they can see the deeper layers of truth that maybe they don't see yet. Right. And so or help them to remember those truths for themselves. You also said something about you said purpose within us. And I want to speak to that too, because I think many people are struggling with this idea. Well, what is my purpose? That's one of the been the big question that COVID really brought to the surface was okay, well, what, what am I really doing with my life? And what's my purpose? And the truth is purposes within us, isn't it? Oh, it is not extrinsic, right. It's not out there. It's not something that you even have to do. It's just something that you are

True, so true. It's really a big portion of one of the biggest things I always ask all the clients that come to me is, you know, they say, Well, I don't know what my purpose is. I don't even know what that means or anything like that. But it's really like, I always ask the simplest questions are What gives you joy? What wakes you up every single morning? What's that drive inside of yourself that helps you to live every day. What is that meaning of life to you? That's how Oh, I see purpose. Because we can change careers, we can change, jobs, content, husbands, all that stuff.

Yep.

But until we go inside of our heart, and really go in deeper than we've ever gone before, we're all the trauma, all of the healing, whatever it is that you need to find your purpose. That's when you start to really know who you are in this human life. And then everything starts to come through.

Yeah, I really do believe our purpose is to build that relationship and that connection with ourselves. Right? It's, it's an inside process. And then once we do that, we radiate that light as we need to, so that we can shine that on the world. And we can help people in their own transformation and discovery. So this is work that you do now, Maria, you didn't just fall into this work, I want to hear the story. How did you? How did spirit call you because, you know, not everyone wakes up and says, I want to be a witch when I get older. So So what was that process for you?

So actually, I've always been very spiritual. Since at the age of three, I've had all my past life come through like a film, actually. So before I get really started, I'll start exactly from that point, I was kidnapped at the age of three, actually, for seven days. And from that time and experience, I had what's called a traumatic spiritual awakening. Now, spiritual awakenings can happen more than once, right? So I had the spiritual awakening woke up, parents found me, then suddenly, I was telling my dad the story, and he said, Oh, you've awakened. And so they started guiding me. And then my father died at the age of six. And at that time, in point, my mom's world had turned upside down. So she lost her soulmate partner here in this physical realm. And it wasn't always the same. She got sick a lot and stuff like that. I grew up, went to a relationship, had another spiritual awakening with a traumatic past partner. And then I moved to Edmonton to help with my mother. And this is where spirit, and what I say spirit was calling. They were really calling me. I was walking my dog. This was just before COVID, I had met a mutual friend of ours, actually Rosalind Fung. Now, so I had met her. And I started talking about auras a little bit here and there, just to kind of see everybody because I was instructed as a child when we first moved to Canada, not to talk about my spirituality, because it was shunned upon in the school that I was in. Yeah, so Catholic school.

Been there? Yeah,

So they were my support and my system that I had within myself. And within that time, I just kept moving on and understanding that everything that was on the outside, was chaotic for me, because I was in chaos within. And so as I started to really hone in on that, and really show up as my true self as the witch, as the healer, as the Lightworker, as what ever it is that we call it. I showed up as the woman that I am, to be honest. And I engaged in these beautiful ceremonies and collection of women that helped to support me as I was going through my grief. And that's where I have been since and I continue to grow into every single day. It has been so amazing. Yes, there are always good and bad days. But I think that's part of understanding that we are human though.

Yes, yeah.

So yeah.

You know, okay, well, I don't even know where to start. Because that was I know, you kind of condensed and summarized that story. But like, there's so much there. I want to start with just talking about you and the energy of the witch because I want to talk about this. There has been a bad rap given to the word witch. But when we think of witch, oftentimes there's a negative connotation to it isn't there, you know, picture green with warts on the face, we picture evil spells, and all of that sort of stuff. But in reality, the witches of our history were beautiful, beautiful healers, as you know.

Oh, yeah.

I'm here to share that with our audience today to let you know that, you know, we've been given this, again, this connotation around what that word means. And we've turned it into something negative when in fact, it really means healer, it means teacher, it means seeker truth seeker. And so really wanting to just invite a shift or a reframe on the word witch and what that means, so that we can understand it in a different way and see it as a very loving and beautiful space to be in. So I wanted to share that first. The other thing that I want to share is in regards to your ancestors, because you know, you talk about your grandmother's, and some of us might say grandmothers, grandfathers, some of us might say spirit guides, you know, there's different ways to express these beings of energy who come in to serve us to help us to understand. And so we all have them. Everyone has a team, know that everyone has a team, you have a team, I have a team, we all have a team. So it's a matter of being willing to see the unseen here, isn't it. And you have the gift and you had it from a young age that you could see because you're clairvoyant, that's clear seeing, you have this gift from very young age. And so you got to witness that in real time. For some people, it shows up with their eyes closed, and they see colors and visions in their mind's eye. For others, it actually feels very tangible and very real as well. But I want to share about reaching into the energy of our ancestors, because someone was talking the other day to me about like clearing the energy of the ancestors and all the contracts and all the limited beliefs and all the bad energy. And I completely agree we need to like get rid of all that karma that we think we have any of those contracts that were still bound to. And I have an example with my family. My mom calls them alabaster lumps from her side of the family and they get lumps on their feet like painful like lumps that cause a lot of discomfort. She goes oh no, you have the little master lumps and like stop calling them that. Lets like not take ownership whatsoever using the family name especially right. And so it brought to the surface. How many of us are really carrying this in Energy. So I think that energy clearing and that understanding is important from the ancestors. But what I think sometimes we forget to do is received the wisdom and the knowledge.

Thank you. That's what keeps getting missed with all of our ancestors, the wisdom, the knowledge, the remembrance, the practices. That is why they called me here. That is why they woke me up and connect with others who see that so we can join our abilities together, and our gifts here. And now to help those truly see that there is more than just a trauma and other things in the world. But to really see that the practices and the wisdom that they had, was in honor of her mother, Gaia, so that she can continue to provide us with abundance, when we continue to gift the honoring with her. And to show her our respect. We also continue living, yes, he's a part of us as much as we are a part of her. Do you ever realize that when you have your heartbeat, and you put your hand on to the ground, this is an ancient practice, put your hand on the ground, anywhere you're living? If anyone's listening to this, and put it towards the soil, and feel your heart? Do you notice that the beat is exactly the same? Because we beat with her, you are no different from her. We are her children. She provides us food, nutrients, water, everything. And yet we're forgetting about her. Yeah. And so that's why the ancestors are here. And why many of the events and amazing beautiful things that I have coming along, are happening because we're coming back into the remembrance and the wisdom and the knowledge, the ancient knowledge that you can feel that energy and you know, even deep in your soul, as you're awakening and going through things, you're feeling sometimes something's missing. It's because you've connected with your ancestors, but you're not seeing the connection as easily as we would like. And that's because their knowledge is not being taken and given to us in a way that allows us to see Earth.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There is this whole energy of receiving. So let's just talk about receiving because I think that's a hard thing for a lot of people. I know, there's a lot of people pleasers out there listening right now, too, who are very empathic and sensitive to energy, and they just take care of other people, and they just want to make sure everyone else is okay. But there really is this energy as well, from our ancestors coming in to say, I've given you gifts, will you receive them? Will you receive them? And so this receiving from our ancestors, from our previous lifetimes, whatever that might be, is such a critical piece, I think, to this phase that we're in this awakening this remembrance, if you will. And so I love that you shared that because I think people need to hear that, especially in this time, can I invite everyone listening to be in a place of receiving, and that could be receiving energy that could be receiving specific love that could be receiving money that could be receiving or whatever you want it to be receiving the messages or the wisdom from your ancestors, but inviting you to come into a place of receiving? What have you been denying yourself of receiving? And what can you open yourself up to receiving so just something to reflect on and think about as well. Now, you kind of slid over this in your story. But I feel like there's people that are listening that are probably saying what you were kidnapped. So I want to hold space for your loss as well. Because I certainly don't want to overlook that you lost your data at a young age. And then you've also lost your mom now at a young age. And those are significant losses. And so I want you to know I wrap you in love as you move through your processes in connection with them in a different way. But I also know that you believe that they were perfectly and divinely there for you as they needed to be. And so I know that you understand that. But I do want to talk about this kidnapping experience because I just want to just give some people a little context into what that experience was. I mean, you were three so you might not remember all the details but most certainly it expedited something for you just like my near death did when I was five. So I feel like you and I probably both at a very young age have these spiritual awakenings and we have that in common. But can you tell us about that experience from your remembrance of that time in your life?

Yeah, absolutely. So it took place originally in Seville, Spain. That's where my father's from my mother's from Philippines. And we were at Seville, my dad had some business down there. My mom was at a different shop. He was getting ice cream for me and was talking to the gentleman that had the ice cream gelato, actually, yes, I was getting gelato. And for some reason, I saw a blue butterfly. And so I let go of his hand, and I was strolling away, a man came up behind me and put a white cloth over my mouth, and then threw me into vehicle, I could feel myself thunking. And then when I woke up, I woke up in a place that had brick walls painted white, and mold coming out from the walls and like seams and stuff. So from this day on, if there's mold anywhere I need to leave, because they actually start to puke. And it's not because I have still the memory of trauma. It's because my body is still remembering weight. The sense of smell is so strong for us. Yeah. Even if we don't recall it in our mind, our senses tell us everything. So the smell of mold showed up. And even the gentleman who were at the time, you know, putting around some for me. Truth be told, my grandfather didn't do very, very good things when I was younger. He was a bit of a bad boy. However, i All I remember is the moment they found me. And in that time, I could still see the reels of my lives coming through. Here just my grandmother, actually my grandfather's wife, tell me, and her name was Maria to actually I was named after her. Help me It's okay. Mi amor. Mi amor means my love.

Yeah.

Okay, Mi amor, we have you. We've got you. Don't worry. And I know, because my family is so intuitive, that they use their abilities to find me. Yes. And my uncle has always sworn that he used every part of his ability that was taught to him from a very young age, to locate me, because they made one error, they call the house for ransom. And he said, I could instantly hear where you were, because your grandmother's were behind you. And so he used that ability to find and locate me and I was away for seven days. And at this time, I was in complete shock. Because I was in this tiny body. Because of all my past lives that my father had mentioned. And my mother still when she was alive with mentioned to me, you would act as if you were older, after we found you like you weren't really here, but a past life of yourself showed up in your body. And you demanded to speak to the head of the house consistently. And basically, they wrote down a bunch of stuff that I mentioned, but I don't remember any of that. It was like I had someone take over my password takeover, to ensure safety was being done with the family, and how to locate us further if things were to happen again. Now thank goodness for GPS and stuff. But it was honestly some of it was very vague, because it wasn't the details that I needed to remember.

That's right.

That's what I kept telling myself every single day. Because all I remember and I still have this teddy bear to this day. All I remember fully the most is when my father came to get me when the police instantly finally grabbed me and took me back and was at the airport. My father and my family flew from Spain and I was in Morocco. Oh, yeah, it was in a completely different country.

They took you to Morocco.

Yeah, they were big. Yeah, yeah.

So it was very much about using intuition. And when we want to go back into that word which that you had mentioned, my family practices, ancient magic, that they work with the land. That's what it means to be a healer, a teacher guide to work with land. Yeah. So they worked with the land, they put it on a map, they did all the things, whatever it was, and I, you know, I 100% believe them, because every single person said the exact same story to me. Yes. So I just recall, my teddy bear being given and a connection to my father and me that was very strong since that bear was given to me. And all it is, is just a complete reminder that we are really not alone. Yeah, even at the darkest times, right. So yes.

I love that beautiful message. And thank you so much for being willing to share that story. Because I have to say, I had goosebumps the whole time. Because it's so powerful to me that your family was able to tune in and use their own gifts, and be able to find a way to find you. And we're so lucky that they did indeed, because now you get to be here and grace us with your beautiful light. But I think that reinforces the idea that, again, we've been given gifts from our families, tremendous, incredible gifts. And yet, we're so quick to again, like I said, it's got to clear the energy in the trauma. It's like, well, why can't we also receive all of the good stuff. And so just really wanting to bring that to the surface that both are important aspects of that connection and relationship with those ancestors?

Absolutely.

So Maria, I just want to kind of start wrapping up a little bit. And I want to invite you, because I mean, obviously spirit called you so many times in your life, spirit called your family. And you know, of course, Spirit always calls, right. It's just a matter whether we're willing to listen. But I want to ask you, if you had to give a couple of takeaways to people listening who are on the path, and maybe they're struggling, and maybe they're feeling frustrated, maybe they're carrying a lot of old baggage from a course ancestral trauma or even their own lifetimes, what are a couple really good tips or tools for people to know, that will help them in the process of their remembrance?

The quickest ways to for me when I started coming back into the ancestral remembrance is finding what magics they left behind? And that really is you. So creating something like an altar of some sort to honor them, even if there is trauma, here's the thing. I never question what that trauma is, because then we start digging into deeper wounds about things that may not need to be open. But more of what magic that they have, what was their greatest gift that they have that they can share? That I can know about? Like was there a grandmother or grandfather that cooked so well, that they have an ancient recipe of something of some sort? That was passed down to your family? Those are ancient traditional magics that we forget, right? Or is there? Is there a cloth that is with you guys, for example, I believe some people have like these cloths with different types of sowings into them. Every family is completely different. But what is it about you and your family that defines difference? That's the magic of the family. And that's the connection and the way to align with them is to be aware of that? What have you because without the awareness of it, it doesn't show up into our own magic.

Yeah, we can't see it without our awareness. Right. So yeah, what a wonderful invitation and even I'm thinking I'm like, Man, I need to go into my grandparents and really check in with them and discover a little bit more about their gifts. And interesting My grandmother had passed quite a few years ago. She gave me the most beautiful gifts. The other day, my mom had sent the obituary from her funeral. And my uncle had forwarded to her because it was the anniversary or I think it was her birthday that had come past and so we'd sent it out to all the family and mom forwarded it to me. And I read it and I just felt her presence. And I kept hearing her say, get to gardening get to gardening and gardening was one of her magics

And as I sit here as you bring this to the surface, I'm like, Oh my God, that's the magic for my grandma Ruby, you know, and so interestingly enough that same day I have friends shares a post with me, she's like, Oh, can you help support this party that I'm putting on? And I look and they're selling gardening gloves and gardening tools. Okay, like, this is when spirit is calling, right. And so of course, I had to buy some and get myself ready for the season. But nonetheless, it was such a beautiful gift from my grandmother, I bought my mom and my sisters gloves too, so that they can get ready as well and carry on the magic of the family. So

That's right.

Yeah. So I love that. And I love that I have an example to really tie that in. Because I think that people listening are like, well, what's the magic? What's the magic? And we don't have to really look as far as we think maybe, right? Like some of the things are right there for us. We just have to be willing to open the door and have a peek. Right. And so I thank you for that. Because I think that's a powerful invitation. And one that's very, very helpful.

Oh, no problem at all. The knowledge I give isn't to you know, it's for everyone to understand. Our ancestors only want us to connect, right? Yeah, yeah. And connect with life and connect with life, we connect within ourself. Now you're gonna be gardening.

Right? Yes, indeed. Yes. Thank you for that. Anything else that you would like to share in terms of value or anything else that you're feeling compelled to express before we wrap up?

Yeah, absolutely. This is something that's coming from all ancestors all over around the world. And a lot of it is is to stay very, very connected and be in yourself. And by doing so accepting the inner child inside of you. And when I say accepting, it's not looking at the traumas, not looking at the wounds, not looking at what's making her happy, but really connecting with her. And so what they're telling me to do is to showcase to you all something very simple and very, is easy. Imagine yourself sitting on a white room for an hour, just full of white. And imagine three doors in front of you the left the middle of the right, whatever color the door is, that is the door of your inner child, and have her come out whatever age she is, and whatever she's wearing you describe that into yourself and take yourself time to rewind back and forth into this, whatever seen it and connect with her. How does she feel that she feel happy that she feels like you guys need a lot more played? Have her come to you and embrace each other into a hub? Now, ask her this, what does she want to do today? And then take yourself up and walk through one of those stores. left, middle or right? The future is bright in any of them. And when you come out, write down exactly what you have told her that you would do. This is the connection to your ancestors, him whatever it is, that is the truth of the ancestral connection, your inner child.

Wow, isn't that beautiful? So the inner child is that connector piece. So another way for us to connect with our ancestors is to do the inner child work. How fun is that.

It is all just about having fun to it. She wants to go outside and play. She wants to sleep you let her sleep.

Exactly, exactly. Well, it's very interesting. You just said play because I did a quick visualization as you were walking us through that. And of course, it was my two year old self, who had just fallen down the stairs. And I broke my face. I literally broke my nose at two my whole face was black and blue. And you know, I kind of wrapped my arms around her and hugged her. And I kept hearing her say run one crash Run Run crash. And this has been kind of the cycle you know, I'm go go go hit the wall, go go go hit the wall. Right. So that has been a cyclical pattern for me. And then when you said what do you want to do? She said play. And so that's just a wonderful message for me now to go and do some playing for the rest of the day. And use that as a way to connect my ancestors as well. Really amazing insight. Maria, I've had so much fun with you today. I gotta be honest, I kind of don't want it to be over here because I feel like we're just kind of getting to the surface. But you know, we've provided some really awesome tools. I think for our listeners today. I hope you all take advantage of leaning in to the energy of your ancestors. So Maria if people are feeling like they need some support in this area or they want some help moving forward in this process in connection, how can they find you and reach out to you?

Ah, perfect. Well, you know, you are both doing incredible work. And I think now's the time as we remember who we are and our ancestors are most certainly reaching out to us and sharing in that beautiful path that we are on. So thank you so much for standing in your truth Maria and for listening when spirit has called you, as so grateful to have had you on the show. And thank you for being here today.

Thank you. I had so much fun. So so good to see you.

So great to see it was well, farewell everyone. Hope to see you again next time on When Spirit Calls. Bye for now.
