is an ancient helper, known as the Breaker of Illusions. Its energy reveals the masks we wear, the blind spots we ignore, and the fantasies that no longer serve us. By transmuting these shadows, dragonfly energy frees us to align with our true intentions and move forward with clarity.
As a species that has existed since the time of dinosaurs, dragonflies teach us resilience and adaptability—qualities we need “to be all we can be.”

“Intention is a strong purpose or aim accompanied by a determination to produce a desired outcome.” — Dr. Wayne Dyer
“In the universe there is an immeasurable, indescribable force which shamans call intent… and it sets up the path of attainment.” Carlos Castaneda
In Shamanic practices, intention is brought to life through creative exploration and the support of spiritual allies. To connect with your intention, let your thinking mind take a break and trust in the wisdom of your heart and soul.

Connection is at the heart of Shamanic Energy Medicine. It begins with yourself: your body, emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and soul. From there, it extends to your family, community, nature, and the elements.
When deeply connected to your true self, life flows effortlessly, aligning with the natural rhythms of the universe—what some describe as living in the Tao.
-
Empowerment comes from being aligned with your soul and living in flow. It’s a state of vitality, curiosity, and confidence—grounded in a sense of safety and security.
Empowered individuals embrace new experiences, welcome serendipity, and take on life with an open heart. Self-empowerment, the ultimate form, is cultivated through daily practices and moments of self-reflection.
“Do NOT underestimate the power of one person believing in you.” Roel Crabbe

Playfulness arises when your energy and nervous system are calm and balanced. It brings joy and lightness to any stage of life, helping to quiet the overachieving mind and restore balance.
On your DEx journey, integration activities will highlight the role of playfulness in everyday life, reminding you that balance isn’t just an activity—it’s a way of being.

Energy medicine is about becoming whole again. It is about reclaiming the parts of ourselves that we have lost or disconnected from.
