When are you ready to start your journey?

In some of my interactions with rising shamans, I often sense an uncertainty around knowing when the timing is right. When is the right time to begin? How do I know I’m ready? From what I’ve observed, the shamans who are truly moving along their path are often the ones who begin asking questions. They start seeking guidance and looking for the knowledge, information, and physical tools they need. They become curious about their journey and are direct about wanting to understand more. They don’t necessarily wait for someone else to tell them when it’s time to begin. You see, **intention is incredibly powerful.** Once you consciously acknowledge that this is the path you are being called toward, something begins to shift. The universe, the energies around you, and the people and experiences meant to support your journey can begin to align—but it starts with you. So give your intention power. Allow yourself to acknowledge what you are being called toward. Give yourself permission to seek, to ask questions, to learn, and to take that first step. The spiritual path doesn’t necessarily begin when someone else tells you that you’re ready. Sometimes, it begins the moment **you decide to seek, to question, and to listen.** And from there, what is meant to meet you along the path can begin to align with you.
