Questions for Living Your Life-Purpose

by Crystal Dawn Morris, Inspired by Napoleon Hill

By taking this self-inventory you can focus-in on how you can manifest your life-purpose or what may be preventing you from doing so. Answer these questions:

1. Are you clear on your life-purpose or calling, if so, how much of your time and energy are you devoting to manifesting that purpose?

2. How committed are you to its attainment? Are you working on your plans consistently, through organized effort, or haphazardly, when the urge strikes you?

3. Do you let fear of failure or fear of success stop you? How?

4. What steps have you taken to associate yourself with others, for the attainment of your purpose? Do you share your vision with them? Do you ask them for feedback?

5. How much time and energy do you devote to manifesting your purpose or calling? How much to focusing on possible obstacles you may have to overcome to attain it?

6. Do you recognize that your present life circumstances are the result of the choices you have made and that every moment is an opportunity to create the life you desire?

7. Do you understand that your thoughts create your reality? Are you aware that you can change your thoughts, whether positive or negative, at any moment?

8. Do you know that inspiration comes from within? Are you willing to keep yourself inspired? How do you stay inspired?

9. Do you accept defeats as part of the learning process and welcome them as an opportunity to grow? Do look for others to blame, so you can avoid responsibility for setbacks and failures?

10. Are you open to receiving the support of the Universe and the help of others in living your purpose fully? Do you recognize that you are one with the Infinite Field of Consciousness?

The Power of Sexual Healing

I have been working in women's health since 1984, first as a labor and delivery nurse and later as a Certified Nurse-Midwife. In 2007 I decided to leave the OB unit and become a tantra teacher, intimacy coach and sexual shaman. Something had happened to women over the past 35 years and I needed to reach out to them long before they were pregnant. They no longer trusted their bodies or themselves. I felt called to help women reclaim their sexual power.

Since I began teaching tantra in 2006, I have seen first hand just how disconnected people are from their bodies and sexual energy. There is a huge need for sexual healing and sex education in this country, at every level. Hands-on sexual healing has many benefits and needs to be recognized as an authentic modality.

Dr. Christiane Northrup, women’s health expert and best selling author, recently said, “Up until very recently, hands-on sexual healing has been cloaked in secrecy, shame, and misunderstanding. But a bold new group of courageous pioneers such as Pamela Madsen are leading the way toward a deeper, richer understanding of women’s sexual pleasure as a force for health and healing that positively affects all areas of their lives. The new feminism includes embracing our erotic power, and hands on sexual healing in the right setting can be a very effective way to accomplish this.”

Pamela Madsen is the author of a book, just out, that addresses this issue in a provocative way. Her memoir is called, SHAMELESS: How I Ditched The Diet, Got Naked, Found True Pleasure and Somehow Got Home In Time To Cook Dinner (Rodale: January 18, 2011). In it she shares her experience in seeking out hands-on-sexual-healing and how it helped her turned her life around and reclaim her sexuality.

Ms. Madsen is an infertility advocate and sex educator. She is an average, American woman; married with two kids, living in the Bronx. In her journey to find herself, she began asking other women how they were dealing with issues such as, lack of sexual pleasure, decreased libido and body image. She discovered that many women who had grown up in the age of "women's lib" were trying to find new ways to address these concerns and feel better about their sexual health and well-being. Some had found sexual healers, who used the healing power of one-way sensual touch to help them reclaim their sexual energy and ecstasy.

“Once I got over my shame – and lived to tell about it – I discovered that desire is natural and pleasure is transformational,” says Madsen. “Allowing pleasure into your life isn’t narcissistic, id-driven or the function of a personality disorder. It is, in fact, a path to wholeness. Pleasure helps mend many wounds from body image and depression to the infamous low libido. Sometimes all we need is an expert guide to lead us to the mine of gold we already have inside of us.”

I am a committed to helping guide women and couples in reconnecting to their sexuality, pleasure and intimacy through my coaching sessions and workshops. Expert guides in your area maybe called: sex and intimacy coaches, sexual shaman, dakas /dakinis and Sexological Bodyworkers. Please contact me if you would like more information about my workshops and coaching sessions.

If you want to learn more about sexual healing please attend the Conference on Sexuality and Consciousness April 29-May 1,2011

Introduction to Shamanic Breathwork™ with Crystal Dawn Morris


Jan 20th, 2011 in Sedona 7-9:30 at 2945 Southwest Dr Link

Feb 25th, 2011 in Tucson 6-9pm Location TBA Link


Shamanic Breathwork™ is a powerful healing process that reconnects participants with their own inner Shaman healer. Old wounds and dysfunctional patterns are released and transformed, individuals begin to reclaim lost soul parts and remember their true nature. They reclaim their wholeness as they heal themselves, their loved ones and the world at large.

This is an experiential process guided by the wisdom of each individual's Inner Shaman Healer. We will begin the evening with a brief over view of the Shamanic Breathwork™ process. We will create a safe and sacred by calling in the directions, the Divine and our spirit teachers and power animals. The individuals then lie down and focus on their intention and begin deep circular breathing, "until they are surprised." Drumming begins the journey and leads into a powerful musical journey which will last about 1 hour.

Each person's shamanic journey is a highly individualized process, each one is unique. People report shifts in consciousness ranging from bliss states to releasing negativity from their psyche. An experience of being reborn is a common occurrence, as is a life review. Old patterns of dysfunction may be brought to the surface and healed. Feelings such as grief, fear, rage and anxiety are often released. New insights and solutions to life challenges may also be revealed.

As the Shamanic Breathwork Facilitator I will hold a loving and supportive space for the group and may at times offer Shamanic support in the form of bodywork, Reiki (energy work), Soul Return and extractions.

After the journey is complete participants will have an opportunity to express their experience through the "Shakti Art Process." We will end the evening by sharing as a group.

Crystal Dawn Morris, began her shamanic healing practice in 1995. She trained with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies for 8 years and numerous indigenous teachers as well as her own spirit guides. She is currently becoming a Certified Shamanic Breathwork Practitioner through The Venus Rising Institute and she will be certified in March 2011.
