00:00
I come from a Latino family and the talking about mental issues
00:05
is just something that we don't discuss.
00:08
I have been suffering from depression and anxiety, ptsd for
00:12
the past 16 years of my life.
00:15
And I don't want to stay silent about it.
00:17
I wanna be able to talk to my family about it.
00:20
The reason I'm here in New Orleans because I'm seeking for
00:24
alternative healing methods.
00:26
I decided to try out voodoo, you know, and you know, spiritual
00:32
healing new or says give for you.
00:41
What does she give you?
00:43
What is she gonna reveal to you about yourself?
00:47
This is your essence as a person empress is what you will be
00:50
once you embrace who you are, spirit wants you to know that
00:54
behind all the depression and after all the depression is
00:57
a strong woman who emerges knowing a lot about herself.
01:01
So one thing you can really do in order to further on your healing
01:04
process is to engage in reflection, work like this, make it
01:08
an effort to every day, to keep track of your feelings, to be
01:11
forgiving and to most of all believe in yourself is the door
01:31
So we're asking him to open the door so that the other spirits
01:33
can come in and help.
01:34
Now, what I want you to do is focus on what you're looking to
01:38
have happen in your world, especially with this Greg bag.
01:41
Gregory bag is a traditional New Orleans voodoo and it contains
01:45
all sorts of magical ingredients to assist us in drawing positive
01:48
influences into our lives, say whatever little prayer work
01:52
And what I want you to do is take that John Roof, push it right
01:56
down in the center and lightly blow three times.
02:08
Oh It smells amazing.
02:20
I'm gonna be working on your chakras and normally you might
02:22
see colors, you might feel waves.
02:26
Um and then also just uh focus on your heart, gonna feel some
02:31
You might feel electrical currents, you might wanna cry,
02:34
you might wanna laugh, just allow whatever emotion comes
02:46
I feel very light, emotional.
02:51
Um But it's what I needed.
02:53
I feel like I really needed that.
02:55
Yeah, I feel like you did too.
02:56
So I just feel like there's some things you need to let go of
03:01
and just do some journaling, maybe write down some things
03:05
You should let go of allow yourself to trust in who you are.
03:15
With the decision I made of going to New Orleans because it
03:18
brought me closer to my mom.
03:19
It made it easier to communicate with her about my mental health
03:23
Don't forget that I'm here for you and that you can share with
03:27
me anything or talk to me about anything you can always count
03:31
Ok, mom, I hope that my journey can inspire others to open up
03:35
with their loved ones.
