After two weeks immersed in the intensity of the Amazon and the sacred altitude of the Andes, the journey north along the Cordillera (the mountain backbone connecting South and North America) felt like crossing both a physical and energetic bridge. After more than twenty-four hours of travel, stepping back onto Canadian soil felt grounding and familiar, as if my body finally recognized its home frequency again.

Within hours, however, something unexpected happened. Despite being cautious during the entire trip, I suddenly fell ill with a gastro-like virus. For a few days, everything slowed into discomfort, fatigue, and surrender. At first, it was frustrating. I had plans, client work, excitement to share, and a desire to move. But when I finally stopped resisting and sat in meditation, the message was unmistakable: this was not sickness, it was reintegration. My body was re-coding from what I had witnessed, held, learned, and received. I could not return to life as it was.

This period of stillness became a threshold. For the last year, I have sensed that I was approaching the bridge between midlife and elderhood, not because of age, but because of purpose. I have been asking for months: what is mine now? What is the next form of my life’s work? The answer had always felt just out of reach. But during a long morning of meditation, journaling, and automatic writing, something became clear in a way it never had before.

What I received was not only personal understanding, but a glimpse of a possible future timeline for Earth. It connected everything I had experienced along the Spine: the wounding of Pucallpa, the initiation of the Andes, and the crystalline clarity of the Rockies.

It took time for the pattern to reveal itself, and only in reflection did I begin to understand what these three lands were showing me.

I was shown why the Western Hemisphere may hold unique potential in the emergence of a New Earth consciousness, not because it is superior, but because it is still becoming.

I saw that the Americas are less historically entrenched than Europe and parts of Asia. Much of the land is still young in development and filled with cultural rebelliousness, innovation, creativity, and re-invention. The languages that dominate this continent form large, shared fields of communication. And unlike many parts of the world where Indigenous wisdom has been erased or buried, here it remains alive, resilient, and reawakening.

Geologically, culturally, and spiritually, the Americas feel like a continent with unclaimed potential. The Cordillera forms one continuous spine. Much of the land sits on the Ring of Fire, the place of transformation, purification, and creation. The north holds the technological and intellectual momentum of the future. The south holds the ceremonial, earth-woven, ancestral memory. When these two currents meet, something whole becomes possible.

It reminded me of the Hopi prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor: mind and heart, sky and earth, future and origin walking together.

For much of my life I unconsciously learned to mute my sensitivity, hide my intuition, and intellectualize my way through conversations so that others would feel safe and I would seem reasonable. I was told I was too sensitive, too imaginative, too idealistic, too spiritual, and over time I learned to tone myself down in order to belong. A powerful dream a couple of days later helped me reveal both the cost of my self-silencing and the necessity of my true voice.

I finally understood what I had been protecting myself from. I saw that the very qualities I learned to soften or translate for others were not weaknesses or embellishments. They were my instruments. My sensitivity, intuition, imagination, emotion, and spiritual sight were not traits to manage, they were the tools I am meant to use. And in writing these words, I am stepping into that truth in real time.

I could feel that something important had been revealed, yet there was still more to understand. Another piece of insight was waiting for me, and it would come through the next place I was called to visit. That understanding arrived at the portal.

This reflection is part of my five-part series, Walking the Spine of Remembrance.
