Introducing Rainbow Sky

Since Bella and Tessa (our fur kids) transitioned in 2021 and 2022 I’ve felt off balance, unstable, neither here nor there. My body was also dis-eased and nothing I tried really helped. I felt lost but knew that there was something more to it that I was missing. Our spirit speaks to us through our bodies when we can’t hear the subtle whispers. What I wasn’t ready to acknowledge was that my dis-ease was a spiritual illness.

In April last year I attended a prayer dance in KwaZulu Natal, which started major shifts in my life. It also awakened something in me that I tried to ignore for a very long time. But I still wasn’t ready, nor did I understand the messages I had been receiving for a while. I am a clear channel for my clients, but information that was meant for me was clouded by my analytical mind. Nothing made logical sense. I simply couldn’t use my mind to understand what was happening.

In May last year I started seeing an osteopath and doctor of botanical medicine who is also a traditional healer, Dr Zanele Bosch (Gogo Amaza Olwandle). I had been drawn to her for a while, not understanding why. Things just never worked out for us to meet before. I had an urge to see her, so I made an appointment with her for my back, knowing that this was not the reason I needed to make contact with her. I had so many layers of protection, that I simply couldn’t open up my solar plexus and heart. I was cut off from my own love and intuition. She invited me to join her for a shamanic ceremony for herself and her spiritual mother and I felt right at home, even though I couldn’t understand a word of Xhosa. I have always felt most at home when I am at shamanic ceremonies. There’s a language used that no words can describe, but it is sensed, felt. It feels like home, very comforting. Her mother said something to me that really confused me. I sat with it and misunderstood the message. I started getting dreams that I shared with Gogo. She suggested an iMbeleko (birthing ceremony).

Since the moment I entered this human body, I’ve been holding space for others. It felt dense and heavy. Nobody could hold space for me in the way I needed it, so I didn’t really want to be here and always longed to be with my galactic and angelic family instead.  This meant I never accepted being on this planet and my spirit would live outside my body so that I didn’t have to feel so much. The iMbeleko helped me to rewrite my birth story. To rewrite what I was being born into. To let go of all the past trauma and to choose what I as a soul had agreed to come into. During this ceremony I realised that I had a calling to be a healer, something that I’ve always been. It is who I am at the core. This was also the weekend I received my spiritual name, Rainbow Sky. I love this name and deeply resonate with it. The analytical part of me wanted to optimise my name. Using my training as a Soul Blueprint reader that is based on our names, I tried different spellings. A clear message came through that Rainbow Sky was perfect the way it was. As I looked at the coding of my new name and compared it to my birth name, it all made sense, even with its challenges.

I recently had my forest and ocean ceremonies as instructed by my guides and that of my spiritual mother (Gogo Amaza Olwandle) and her guides. Many years ago my guides told me that a San medicine woman would help me along my journey. I’ve looked and asked around without success, until I let it go and eventually met Gogo, who, like me is the calf of a San woman (i.e. has San ancestors). I am extremely grateful to Gogo Amaza Olwandle and her ancestors for all their guidance and support. She is the perfect spiritual mother for me at this stage of my journey. With her Buddhist background, she and her ancestors respect my diverse ancestry and take all of this into account when ceremonies take place. I love and respect her and her ancestors so much and are extremely grateful to them, Camagu! I also got to meet my soul family at the forest and ocean ceremonies and integrated on a farm with two of my soul sisters. I am truly blessed. I could not have imagined that life could change so dramatically for the better. I love life! I have deep gratitude for my ancestors, guides and guardians for not giving up on me. Yes, the journey has been intense at times, but they’ve been extremely gentle on me, loving me, holding me and keeping me safe. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Camagu!

So, as I settle into this new being, Rainbow Sky, my authentic nature is shining through, and I no longer need to wear masks to protect myself. I listen to the subtle guidance from Great Spirit (the Divine, God, Universe) and my guides. I’m living in flow not knowing what tomorrow might bring. It is a beautiful dance with the Divine that fills me with immeasurable joy. I know that I am loved and supported and so are you.
