Episode 16: Crossing Over the Threshold
27 Plays1 year ago
In this deeply personal episode, I share my experiences from the past week as I step further into my Rose Priestess path—a journey of devotion, remembrance, and sacred embodiment. I reflect on the importance of taking a break from social media to reconnect with my spirit and prepare sacred offerings in devotion to the divine feminine.
I also open up about the messages I received from my ancestors, guiding me toward a deeper understanding of who we truly are as women beyond the conditioning of the modern world. These remembrances are not just personal—they are collective. They hold the key to our healing, our reclamation, and our return to wholeness.
Join me as we cross over the threshold together, embracing the sacred wisdom that has always lived within us. 💫🌹

Valerie's Return and Reflections
00:00:05
Valerie Vazquez
Aloha and welcome to Sacred Self-Love. I am your host and guide Valerie Vasquez. Thank you for tuning in this week. I am really excited to share. I took off a week last week so I didn't release an episode and I also took a break from social media for a week as well.
00:00:28
Valerie Vazquez
I really wanted to drop in to the whole experience of just the magic that is constantly around us in our daily lives that sometimes we miss out on when we are on our phones and when we are getting, you know, sucked into the vortex of you know, whatever is on your algorithm.
00:00:53
Valerie Vazquez
And, um, Yeah, so before I go into that, i just want to thank you all for joining me.
Inspiring Women's Sacredness
00:01:00
Valerie Vazquez
If you're new to the show and you haven't hit subscribe, please do so. I generally release an episode a week. and what I really try to do on this podcast is share a bit of my journey and also encourage you as a woman, to really remember your sacredness and remember that we are both human and divine.
00:01:29
Valerie Vazquez
And I really like to just encourage all of my listeners and really everyone that is around me to come back to the remembrance of who we are. And in order to do that, it takes us giving ourselves time time and space with ourselves to give ourselves sacred self-love.
Retreat and Rose Priestess Path
00:01:57
Valerie Vazquez
And that's like really dropping into the allowing ourselves not to constantly be in motion and constantly be doing for others and giving every bit of ourselves away And instead coming back to ourselves and yeah, being a little selfish, saying no when it doesn't work, releasing what doesn't serve us and really starting to come back and understand how truly powerful we are as women when we can connect back into our own
00:02:42
Valerie Vazquez
inner guidance into our own intuition and really understand again the sacredness of of who we are so this last week like i said i did take a break from everything because i wanted to truly drop in and i had a ceremony on saturday that i was preparing for And it's a a threshold ceremony that basically ah initiates me into the Rose Priestess path, like truly connects with the sacred elements and the Rosa Mystica guides and also just allows me to initiate myself onto this path of a deeper understanding of how we are truly being guided in all ways.
Divine Feminine Energy and Cosmic Shifts
00:03:34
Valerie Vazquez
And you know, Venus being ah ah the ultimate teacher for us, you know Venus actually over an eight year span makes this five petaled rose in the sky.
00:03:50
Valerie Vazquez
And she is transmitting these energies down. And a lot of of women have gotten these messages and these understandings of how we as women have been suppressed from the goddess, you know, how we have been how the goddess has been buried and how our society has been so patriarchal. and and And it is time this divine feminine rising is happening, this energy that's within us that is that is bringing us back to our truth.
00:04:29
Valerie Vazquez
And i have felt this very deeply After I finished ah Sacred Path Healing School, um a whole bunch of really magical, mystical things happened. And i really understood the sacred mission of voicing these deeper truths and understanding.
Slowing Down for Creativity and Sacredness
00:04:54
Valerie Vazquez
And so over the last week, as I was preparing to do this ceremony, and this was an initiation, you know, that I did for myself, I did have, you know, guidance through the training I'm in, but I really realized how when I was preparing these sacred offerings and I was doing certain ceremonies and rituals, how I felt that program inside of me of like trying to kind of like rush it
00:05:29
Valerie Vazquez
And so I had to catch myself like, you know, and take some deep breaths and just be like, you know, this is the returning to the sacredness. It is the slowing down and it is, you know, being in this creative flow of like, you you know, what is coming through to me with making these offerings? Like,
00:05:51
Valerie Vazquez
um When I was slowing down and whenever I was breathing and when I was allowing myself to not be steered by anything else, I was getting these, you know, messages of, you know, how to put them together and, you and And it was just really beautiful to to witness myself in that program and then being able to say, okay, yeah, I i can slow down even further than this. It's okay.
00:06:18
Valerie Vazquez
And to also be in that energy of of not having to record or take pictures of everything I'm doing and blasting it to the world.
00:06:29
Valerie Vazquez
and none None of that is wrong. It's just for me, It's something that I need to, continue I'm continuously working on. You know, i'm pretty sure if you've listened to past episodes, I've definitely talked about this relationship with social media.
Healing Ancestral Trauma and Patriarchal Beliefs
00:06:47
Valerie Vazquez
and um And so when this ceremony, when I was preparing for the ceremony through the week and I was really just feeling into my ancestors more and more, my grandmother, my grandmothers, and realizing I didn't even know great-grandmother's name.
00:07:10
Valerie Vazquez
I had a beautiful conversation with my mom, and hi mom, I love you, i know you're listening, and um And I'm proud to be, you know, the the granddaughter of these grandmothers, even though so much of the focus on a healing journey, it feels like is like, you know, undoing this ancestral trauma that's been passed on. And so there there just seems to be this focus of like this, you know,
00:07:42
Valerie Vazquez
healing these parts that have hurt us and have held us back. But really, when we can look back for generation and generation and generation, and as all of these things, you know, as we were stripped from the goddess, as we were looked at um as less than men.
00:08:01
Valerie Vazquez
You know, all of these things that have been passed on in the ways that our our grandmothers and mothers and even some daughters have have been mistreated, you know, it's like, I feel so honored to be on this journey of like,
00:08:17
Valerie Vazquez
And unraveling all of this so that we can change the belief system so we can understand that all of the things that did happen to our grandmothers that were, you know, passed down to us, you know, it wasn't their fault.
00:08:33
Valerie Vazquez
um But we are able to see again the truth when we can slow down, when we can come back into our bodies, when we can say no to the the ways that we refuse to be treated any longer.
Chakras, Earth Elements, and Emotional Healing
00:08:50
Valerie Vazquez
And so these messages, you know, and these things that were coming through to my grandmother, from my grandmother, and every time I would go out and I would be, you know, outside and I would be preparing for this, it was like this cardinal would show up and I would just know it was my grandmother there with me.
00:09:09
Valerie Vazquez
encouraging me, telling me that I wasn't able to do this work when I was alive. I wasn't able to tap into this, but I'm so proud of you for doing this. I'm so proud of you for, you know, healing these wounds so you can find freedom and so that the future generations can find freedom and other women can find freedom and coming back into their essence and back into their truth and tapping back into nature and understanding that we are the sacred elements.
00:09:44
Valerie Vazquez
Our root chakra is the earth element in the earth. mother Mother Earth, goddess Gaia, she is there for us and she can take our pain if you know we need someone, but she can hold us when we allow our root to open up and reconnect back into her, you know send a cord down and use her for stability so that we're not trying to escape out of our bodies and escape into our minds all the time.
00:10:14
Valerie Vazquez
and then our sacral chakra, our our second chakra is the water. It is the emotions. It's the flow. It's the creativity.
00:10:25
Valerie Vazquez
It is something that, you know a lot of us have unfortunately have had a lot of of pain put there. You know, it's um we've had sexual trauma. We've we've um been told things are naughty or bad that are sexual and they're not, you know.
00:10:43
Valerie Vazquez
um So there's a lot there that we can just if we can allow ourselves to swim in the waters and like trust our emotions and And know that sometimes others are not going to be able to hold us in our emotions. But if we can know they're okay and they're safe, we can start holding ourself in that or finding sisters that we can express these emotions that we're having. Because we do have a lot.
00:11:11
Valerie Vazquez
and And it's a beautiful thing. But it's being able to trust, again, that it's okay to cry. It's okay to be angry. It's okay to grieve. It's okay... All of these types of things that are held here are meant to be expressed.
Self-Love and Sacred Truths
00:11:26
Valerie Vazquez
and um And then in our third chakra, that's, ah you know, that's the sun. That's the fire. That's like where our power is. and And when it is burned out, we are not going to have the zest for life. And we're not going to stand in our power. And we're not going to want to be seen.
00:11:45
Valerie Vazquez
because we're going to want to like have this dim light because we have been dimmed and we've allowed ourselves to be dimmed. But this, you know, fire is ready to burn, you know, it's ready to be alive and to be seen and, and to just be in our truth.
00:12:04
Valerie Vazquez
And then our hearts, you know, it's this air. It's to me, it's just like this, you This ability of our heart chakra where our love is to love ourselves and to also just be able to when we can...
00:12:19
Valerie Vazquez
love ourselves, give ourselves the sacred self-love, this frequency that can emanate from our heart like air that just gets pushed out into the world and to, you know, everyone we can come across and the way that we interact with our loved ones. It's just so, it's like taking a breath of fresh air when you can get up to the heart, when you can get into that frequency of love and remembrance. It's what Yeshua was teaching us.
00:12:56
Valerie Vazquez
Yeshua is Jesus. He was teaching us that our hearts, it's the kingdom is within us, our sacred heart. That is the kingdom.
00:13:08
Valerie Vazquez
There's nobody that's going to come rescue us. there's There's no one that we can give away, you know, that died for our sins, that takes away everything. no we have to come back into the remembrance of who we are.
00:13:22
Valerie Vazquez
And we have to come back into the remembrance of how sacred we are, how we are both human and divine. And that was the messaging. and And so this last week for me, when I just really allowed myself to be in flow and to receive these messages and rebirth myself again into the understanding that I am here to continue to remember all of these ways in which we have been stripped from our truth and to help guide you, my my sisters, my mothers, my daughters, my friends, back in the ways of sacred self-love to self and to others.
Spiritual Wisdom and Ancient Practices
00:14:14
Valerie Vazquez
And to these remembrance and to these teachings that have been, you know, they were they were lost for a reason. They were hidden for a reason.
00:14:25
Valerie Vazquez
But if you really start looking around, there are so many women who are embracing their priestesshood. They're embracing their healers, that their healers, their shamans, their medicine women, witches, they're all coming back.
00:14:43
Valerie Vazquez
And they're remembering. and what i really wanted to encourage, if you are a woman on a healing journey of remembrance, of coming back, it's like so many times there are amazing men who are guides and spiritual teachers. And I have learned so much about But I do believe that in in the beginning, it's like there's a discipline that's needed and the masculine can hold that discipline very well because they um they're just really great at –
00:15:29
Valerie Vazquez
ah being disciplined and it does take that discipline in the beginning of your journey to go and sit down and to meditate and get in your body and to go do breath work and get into your body and it takes the discipline because we have to be able to slow ourselves down in order to reconnect into our body and out of our mind But also, as women, there's that feminine aspect of needing to move our body, our sacral chakras, and needing to dance and to sing and to get out of the rigidity and to also know that, like, women hold deeper spiritual truths than men. It's just like this patriarchal thing where it was, you know, women weren't able to, you know, be pastors or
00:16:23
Valerie Vazquez
or be able to be the ones leading in the churches. um They were looked at less than when we have the deeper spiritual wisdom within us.
00:16:35
Valerie Vazquez
And so my encouragement is, you know, if you are looking to men for all of your spiritual wisdom, you know, that that's great.
00:16:45
Valerie Vazquez
But also, try to start finding women who are, you know, teaching these spiritual lessons. Find women that are showing you further how to embrace your divine feminine and and learn these things and start, you know, incorporating kundalini and start incorporating dance and singing and rituals and ceremonies and maybe you know for now you just look to
00:17:22
Valerie Vazquez
full moons or new moons or any of those kinds of things astrologically that are just happening, you know, once a month that you take time and do a ritual with yourself or you find other women that want to do these rituals with you, which literally can just be that you are honoring the moon and you are maybe lighting a candle and pulling a card from one of your oracle or tarot decks you are you know connecting in and maybe you're learning a little bit a bit more about these ancient practices that have been forgotten but start coming back into knowing
00:18:07
Valerie Vazquez
knowing that we as women are so powerful and there are so many powerful women that are, you know, remembering everything that has been forgotten for so long.
