…and then she became a butterfly✨💜🦋🙌✨☁️😇🙏

As a celebration of life&death on this beautiful Dia de Los Muertos, I wanted to share these images from a month ago in Mexico w my family.

This isn’t a stereotypical shot in front of some butterfly wings..

As a quick background story, for those interested, when my sisters and I were very young (more than 20yrs ago now) our mom passed away and we inherited our childhood home in Mexico. Since we have not lived there in quite some time, when a good friend with a beautiful organization there reached out in search of a space for local children to go for tutoring, to learn English etc.. we all agreed there was nothing more my mom would have wanted than to have our home become this space.

After 7yrs of being able to help local kids have a safe space to learn and grow, our friend invited us last month for an inauguration to unveil the name of the space now officially called CLUB PERALTA (our last name).

And as an extension of my mom’s love for children and teaching, to honor her love for gardening and flowers, we have also started a ‘Jardin de Diana’ (her name) “Diana’s Garden”..

As a surprise to all of us, the organization also unveiled a beautiful mural.. one that encapsulates not only our childhood memories of growing up on the beach and a beautiful desert sunset that we saw every night.. but all of this within the wings of a butterfly, a symbol of our mom.

You see, when she passed on we had these cards w a poem at the funeral that read something along the lines of “do not cry at my grave for I will not be there.. I will be in the breeze.. I will be a butterfly as you think of me 🦋✨’

And ever since then, whenever my sisters or I are feeling low or having a grand time together.. there she is 🦋 fluttering about reminding us we are not alone.

And serendipitously enough, right before this was unveiled one of my sisters was giving a little speech explaining the significance of a butterfly to those who came to support, right then and there the very first butterfly anyone had ever seen at our home flew right above us all - silence fell, tears followed.

You see, life & death, are so beautifully intertwined.✨🦋🙏

Curanderismo: Healing the Healer✨🌿 The Mexic

Curanderismo: Healing the Healer✨🌿

The Mexican Indians had many gods; they believed that their gods punished sins with illness. Therefore, disease or illness was supernatural in nature. As a balance, some mortals, who were spiritually chosen, were given the power to heal the wounded spirit and cure the supernatural illness. This is the role of the curanderos and curanderas.

As the founder of Despierta, I have always poured my knowledge, background, and innate 'gifts' into every aspect of my products (what I call, my healing tools). Being of Mexican descent, I created @despierta.one every step of the way with the intention that my journey and experiences up to now would emanate the very magic & wisdom of my ancestors.

Last month I was blessed to be welcomed into a beautiful group of curanderas. I did not know what would come of this trip, but I knew it was important and though I had not traveled in 3yrs, there my soul led me.

Many of you may not know this about me, but I lost my mother when I was 13 years old.

This may not mean much to you, but as someone who grew up too quick and too young, always had to 'take care of herself' and everything around her from such an early age, and in turn never learned to rely on or be open to, or even KNOW, what it was like to have community to depend on.. this trip was everything I never knew I needed. As a healer, and most importantly as a human being…✨🙏

(*The images shared here today are brief glimpses of sacred moments that I felt called to share. Many times these moments go unseen as healing sessions are personal, beautiful and sacred - not to be showcased, but integrated. However, for the purpose of sharing my story here with you all today and by the magic that is the Universe a woman in the circle felt called to capture the moments for me - I feel it is okay for me to share this of my own healing session so that you may feel glimpses of what I felt during my time there. Please do not repost these images anywhere as they are personal and sacred for me.*)

I’ve been quiet as I keep my focus on making mag

I’ve been quiet as I keep my focus on making magic✨💕💜🌿👁🙏

If you’ve been following the hints and glimmers of my latest project @despierta.one - you may have caught me (over the past couple years+ while I’ve been pretty much MIA) sharing more about flower & plant medicine, herbal goodness and the metaphysics.✨

I’ve been sharing less here on my personal account due to being super busy in the background studying, researching, formulating, testing, building, designing, launching and now fulfilling orders for the past month since launching!

I am so grateful for all of the love, support and feedback thus far and can only say I am loving the journey that is unfolding. My purpose has always been to help activate, awaken and remind the masses of their inner power & magic and guide them on their healing & awakening journey, and Despierta (as a true extension of my being and journey) was created to do just that.

Yesterday I woke up to @despierta.one being featured on @thedieline and am just so happy to see our ancient medicine and wisdom being uplifted in this way and a light being shined on this magic as I work on bringing wholistic healing and wellbeing from my ancestry to the forefront.

As a Latina immigrant, I pray that my journey, tools and story serve you in both your healing and seeing your potentiality & limitlessness. Our voices, wisdom and gifts are needed & valuable.

No se te olvide tu magia✨🙌✨💕🌿👁🙏

Please be sure to check out @despierta.one - my shop is LIVE and magic overflowing. Can’t wait to get these beauties to you all and help you heal & shine from within✨✨✨

Just a little adventure today..✨💧🍁🙏 T

Just a little adventure today..✨💧🍁🙏

This was my first time ever attempting to tap our Maple trees for syrup. As the seasons change, the trees begin to thaw out (as the weather warms up and snow begins to melt), and the water begins to run down for collection and into the earth.

It was a fun and quick learning process.. so far the maple water is now dripping into the buckets we hung on the trees and should fill up soon enough. From there you take the maple water (which by the way is incredible!! Super yummy - sweet, light and so pure), and boil it down and reduce over the course of a day (literally 8-12hrs) to make maple syrup.

So much fun to be had on the land - so much beauty and gifts forever being gifted, and this is just one way to work with what naturally occurs in a way to continue to thrive and treasure real magic.✨🌿👌🥰

(Would you like to see more of my day-to-day life and land activities / behind the scenes ? 🤗💕)

A little soothing alpaca run for your Soul..✨🌿🦙💫

For those of you who didn’t know, I adopted 3 alpacas last year over the summer during the initial lockdown.. this year we decided a mama would be a great addition to the herd, and a week later she gave birth to our baby boy 🚀 rocket!

Would you like to see more videos/reels of my every day life & adventures on the land like this?

Let me know! I have sooo many gems! 🥰✨🙌✨💕🛸

Had to do it..✨😌💜🌿🦙
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To be honest, I’ve been so in the moment and loving this past week’s events that I both wanted to keep it to myself & keep flowing and allowing life to just soothe and teach me that I hadn’t planned on showing my face here for a minute.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BUT
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is so much going - personally, worldwide, collectively and Universally as a whole - that I couldn’t avoid speaking my piece, in peace.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First things first - At the end of last week (some of you may have caught that I noted in my stories something magical had happened) my newest addition/alpaca mama, Supernova, had her baby and I’ve just been soaking up his love since.. he is adorable, curious, playful and literally perfect. Had a little hiccup on the first day but we took care of him and he is full force, healthy and ready for lift-off. His name is Rocket✨⚡️ 🚀 newest member of our little gang / herd. These are some of the photos moments after he landed on earth and surprised us with an early arrival.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
** If you’ve stuck around this long, thank you - and if you are here for both the adorable content as well as the hard hitting truth, THANK YOU. **
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now - At times we can overlook what is happening outside of our little worlds because it seems unimportant and irrelevant to our lives - but the truth is, when our brothers and sisters hurt, we hurt, too - regardless of distance, color, religion/beliefs, etc.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is happening around the globe (Afghanistan and the Taliban, Lebanon’s power cut, wildfires in Greece/Turkey/Algeria, earthquake in Haiti, and Palestine / Isreal.. ) is hard to take in on top of all the emotional and mental hardships we’ve taken on throughout the past year and a half - but the truth is, we must look at it all WHOLE-listically and remember that everything that we see is but a mirror.

In this case, our collective is going/growing/flowing through a very important time of revelation that is showing us that we’ve spent too much time in our trauma and it is time to take a step back, reflect, reset and heal. ** (( rest of caption is continued in comments - please read below 🙏💜👇))**
