I'd always been "tapped in" so to speak but pushed it aside as I grew. A chance meeting led to a spiritual instructor who would change my life. I spent 12 years learning from her. She didn't have a formal way of teaching, so I had to pick up what resonated with me and use my own ability to see beyond the veil- to listen telepathically and read energy to understand what was happening. I experienced deep inner child work, shadow work, vision training. I experienced energy attachments, saw manifestations of my fears, felt my body respond to energy, thought, and history. I finally understood the way the body, mind and spirit heals itself. The work I was doing inside required energetic alignment on the outside. Everything in my life shifted monumentally. After 5 car crashes left me with chronic pain, migraines, and depression and an acute strep throat that put me in ICU (evoking a near death experience), I decided to listen. I left my marriage, a very comfortable life, everything I knew. Friends couldn't understand what I was doing. They judged me for messing up a "good" life and eventually walked away, as well. All I had was myself, my son, and our dog. That's it. Within 7 years, I moved home 9 times and scrambled to earn money doing whatever I could. I had a dream of working with the freedom and ease as I do now, but, at that time, I wasn't ready for it. Instead, I lived each day trying to find the perfect balance between body and soul... I had to figure a way to ground everything, to bring it down into reality. I studied Psychosynthesis (psychology with a soul) developed by Roberto Assagioli. He believed that our experience distorted love, joy, compassion, and wisdom into qualities of anger, hate, and fear. He uncovered the wounds and distortions of energy and tracked them back to the quality of the person. Psychosynthesis really resonated with me, and this is what I strive now to accomplish. So, modern day shamanism is the marrying of traditional shamanism and modern psychology. It's unique to me and is an expression of all I've learned . This is my soul's work - to help you be the best version of yourself and make an impact in the World. Your beliefs, behaviour, emotions and thoughts are all power signals to the Universe. The life you live will be a reflection of who you are inside. You are the creator of your world. You can try to hide behind a facade of smiles and success like I did, but if you're fighting what needs attention on the inside, the Universe will let you know, often in very unpleasant ways. Been there when the Universe 'bumps' you, done it over and over again, so you don't have to. My book is a memoir. I've combined my life's story with my own version of spiritual teaching and incorporated case studies from client's experiences to give you a real idea of how to go within. Its main message - is one of hope. It offers an invitation to find the truth of you and live it unapologetically. You are Universally supported in every way, every day.

About the Author
UntitledSarah Ann Negus is a modern-day shaman. She grew up in South London and has spent her life finding out who she really is. Her journey of discovery, in this her first book, takes you from lost to found in the most alternative of ways. Sarah’s experience was not easy, but she believes that coming home to your true self does not have to be a fight or a struggle.
As a child she learned that not everyone saw what she did, and she hid her gifts. Coming back to them as an adult, she slowly remembered her purpose and promised to share them.
Sarah runs a successful mentoring and public speaking business working with entrepreneurs and executives who understand their energy is a powerful driving force for growth, both personally and professionally. She facilitates an altered state of consciousness for her clients which allows them to observe themselves and the world differently as a result. They take actions from a new belief system, which empowers them to achieve what they previously believed was impossible. Her clients typically say; This has been life-changing
.
Never be afraid of the dark.
Without it there is no light.
Praise for This Book from Other People
Sarah Negus is the true definition of a master healer in this antidote for the crisis of modern life. Her memoir reads like a shamanic Elizabeth Gilbert. It is deeply moving, inspiring and leaves you with the practical tools to live your own authentic self. Insights on how to activate your potential come with tears, laughter and profound love, much like the experience of being in the room with the Shaman herself.
Agnes Kowalski, Wealth Therapist and Forbes Contributor
I have had goose bumps all over me from the moment I started to read this book. Sarah takes you on a deeply personal transformative journey. She invites you to use shamanic energy to heal your life and activate the level of potential within, which you never knew you had. Her writing takes us deep. I would say deeper than any other book I have read before. And it is worth it. Each chapter brings a new level of awareness and healing. Sarah’s voice is relatable and very powerful. I enjoyed reading about her own journey of massive transformation and her loving guidance for using the power of energy to transform anything we want. Accompanying meditations are worth their weight in gold itself. This book is a must-read for all spiritually-based people who sense there is more … a lot more.
Lenka Lutonska, The Extraordinary Growth Coach, Business Strategist and Mindset Maven
This book takes you into Sarah’s journey of self-discovery so you can find your own. It is the path less travelled which is in itself fascinating. The reading of it allowed me to move past everything I knew and find something even more potent for my life in the most alternative of ways. This is a must-read for anyone looking for something more in their lives without knowing what that is.
John Paul Beeby, Celebrity Fitness and Wellness Coach
How to Use this Book for Maximum Benefit
UntitledWhen I first sat down to write this book, I allowed myself to be taken by the words. They flowed easily and the main body of the work found its way onto paper in 6 short weeks, helped by my writing coach Karen Roy, but it was not finished. Although it felt complete to me, the parts of my story that were relevant did not stand alone effectively. I had to dig deep to discover – with the help of my author coach and literary agent, Wendy Yorke – the teaching within my written words. I am eternally grateful for the help of both Karen and Wendy in bringing it all to fruition.
If you are reading this, it is likely you have aspects of yourself that continue to bring challenge to your life. My recommendation for you is … when you identify them … love them. Love really is the answer to everything. I use the word love here, not in the romantic sense based on condition, but love that builds and creates. Use this book to help you recognise these aspects within yourself more deeply so you can acknowledge and accept them. Then – this is the important bit – integrate them into your life as part of you. Aspects of yourself that are ready to be seen and transformed into something more beautiful.
In this book, I share real events from my life, unembellished. I start each chapter with My Story and its relevance for our modern world because my intention is to provide you with true stories that will resonate with you and evoke a remembering to bring a new recognition of yourself. In each chapter, I also give you a practical exercise to help you integrate what you learn about yourself. You will also find a client story illustrating the practical learnings other people have experienced. In several chapters, I provide channelled material as it was given to me, unedited and in places I supplement my story with my own channelled poetry. Finally, I provide you with a summary of the applications you can make in your life to give you a step-by-step path to follow on your own journey to activate your higher self and your success mindset.
As you dive into the content of the book, you will find a chakra cleansing meditation and eight unique shamanic journeys, which I have channelled. They hold an energetic charge to help you connect to their power and see more of yourself than you have seen before. You can repeat them as many times as you like because each time, you will find new information, which will help you explore your best self. I encourage you to read these pages with a journal alongside to record your thoughts, any memories that come to the surface, and to ground your journeying experience. I have my early journals and I continue to find new insights in them every time I read them.
This book’s main message is one of: self-recognition; self-awareness; self-knowledge; self-compassion; and self-love. By knowing your ‘self’, by coming into yourself, and by acknowledging yourself as more than merely a physical being, you can find a deep connection to the planet, to your families, communities, and all the peoples of other countries. In fact, all the sentient beings who live here on planet Earth and to the whole consciousness of our Universe because we are all one.
My intention is that you find your place of safety, support, and love within and you contribute to the oneness that is longing for more love.
"When we are no longer able to change a situation,
we are challenged to change ourselves."

Prologue: Realisation
UntitledAugust 27th
How did I get here?
Who the fuck am I?
Is it okay to swear?
Who the fuck am I?
I guess it is okay to swear.
I feel better when I do.
It somehow gives emphasis to the fucking mess I’m in … there I did it again.
Everything hurts. My back, my neck, my arms, my right leg, hell, even my eyes hurt.
And my brain.
My brain cannot function.
It is having a meltdown.
I can literally feel it dissolving into mush under the immense pressure I feel looking at my reflection.
I am 30.
In fact, today is my birthday.
A happy day, right?
One to celebrate life.
One to bask in the spotlight of specialness.
A day to be spoiled.
A day to mark a significant milestone.
I have made it to 30 years of age!
I live in a beautiful home.
Have a gorgeous baby son, a husband who adores me, friends, family, material wealth.
Then why the fuck do I feel in so much pain? … oops, there I go, swearing again!
Blaming the car crash on my migraines and depression gives me some sort of excuse, but somehow deep in my bones, the bones that ache so much, I know it is not the reason.
I examine my face in the mirror. Close up. Smokey green eyes with long dark lashes framing them. Eyes that should be sparkly and alive but instead they are flat and stare accusingly at me. Midnight dark hair falling in tumbles to my shoulders. My grandmother’s mouth. Full and red, ready to speak truth and wonder and smile, set sternly in a line. Regally high cheekbones, petite ears and a sweetheart chin. I knew I was beautiful, but inside I hid something else. Inside there was a deeply black crawling mess of ugliness that churned away. It constantly talked to me. Reminding me every day, every minute, every spare moment. I was fake, I was a fraud, I was stupid. I got what I deserved, nobody liked me let alone loved me. I was ugly, I was ridiculous, I was shameful, I was nothing.
I was not worthy of anything at all.
It was that inner me that looked out from my smoky green eyes, facing me squarely in the mirror, and spoke to me, boldly. I absolutely loathe you! I control you! What are you going to do about that?
I do not have an answer. I shy away from looking at myself and turn to look around at the home I am standing in, unresolved, undecided, unloved. Instead, I sigh deeply.
Is this it? I thought to myself. Is it my lot to continue living in this struggle to free myself from all this pain? Is life really this hard, this bad? More questions I did not have the answer to. But, on that day there was a decision made. I looked up, talking to the ceiling, the heavens, a place far away in the Universe, talking to something I thought was bigger than me.
Show me the way back to me.
This is that story.
Chapter 1
Time to Remember
UntitledHuman beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but … life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.
Gabriel García Márquez
There are no coincidences. Everything is a nudge, a push, a jolt, a bump, or a crash to steer you on your path whatever that is, wherever it takes you.
My story: become the student
I am very stubborn. Sometimes, I do not listen even now. While in my early adulthood, I was completely deaf to the whispers of my higher-self – my spiritual essence –which seemed to be talking to me in a language alien and unintelligible. Then came Eve.
It was mid-summer. A hot, sunny July day. The kind you only find in south east England. Green and bright and humid. The sunlight shining through the leaves of the trees dappling the grass. Birds singing at the top of their voices in the garden and bees buzzing in the lavender outside my kitchen. The phone rang, one of those plugged in, landline phones. My girlfriend was on the other end.
Sarah, gorgeous, I’m going to see a spiritual healer. She’s bloody expensive, so I wondered if you want to share the hour’s session?
Of course, I would, Wow, of course I would.
Great darling. I will pick you up in 10!
was her dramatic reply, with which she slammed down the phone.
This was in the days when my son was in kindergarten. I only had a few hours in the day without him. I did not need to pick him up until 3.30pm; I had time to go with her.
Excited, I clambered into her 4x4 and off we drove, echoes of Thelma and Louise on adventure came to mind. I was curious and had questions swirling around unanswered in my head. What will she say? What will she know? What will I find out?
We drove for an hour, singing out loud to the songs on the radio, enjoying the drive and the beautiful day. Taking a few wrong turns, but eventually arriving at a huge house, set deep in the countryside. A tarmac driveway with a few potholes led us to the car park and main entrance. A gothic-looking porchway opened onto a reception hall. It was understated in its décor; wooden flooring, an unlit fireplace and sunny yellow curtains dressed the hallway together with two comfy looking blue sofas. It felt imposing and cold despite the warm sunny day outside and I shivered a
