"...you gave us "food" to nourish us along our individual but common journey. I find my own purpose taking flight...."
Lyra, It was my great pleasure to be in your presence. As a Light Being, here to help so many honor their cores and carry out their purpose, you gave us "food" to nourish us along our individual but common journey. As my love for Gaia and all living things expands, I find my own purpose taking flight. I so want to be in your presence again. When I cannot, I will send waves of thanks for having your love in this world. Some day, I will try to find you in Santa Fe, a place that lives so warmly in my heart. Some day, I would love to have a private session. The two "panda's" were with me on the morning of the next day as my husband and I walked to the top of the hill on very sacred land where we hope to live out our years. I told my husband of your message for me. I hope some day you can visit the property with us. Love, light and blessings, Jennifer
"You will never be the same..."
When I sit and envision the sacred journeys I have traveled with Lyra over the years, beginning in 1996 with the first journey to Bimini, and including the temples of the Yucatan and Teotihuacan in Mexico, Chaco Canyon and Canyon de Chelly on the red roads of Southwest, and in 2005 the journey to Machu Picchu in the Heart of Gaia/Peru, I can sometimes go into sacred time. And once again, I am there on that swirling vortex, jungle, pyramid, or plateau of Beloved Gaia, entering a crossroad of time, a landscape of outer/inner where pieces and shadows and dreams of former and future Selves come, invite me to surrender and transform once again. In my experience, these journeys peeled away what no longer served, bringing me to unimagined depths and heights, opened my channel, rekindling my passion, and initiating me into my own transformational work as teacher and shaman. “Expect the unexpected” is the theme common to all of Lyra’s Living Shaman work, and more so on the sacred journey. I would add – expect to go beyond where you have ever been, for the alchemy that is required for our mutual awakening -- personal/planetary transformation requires teacher and guide who knows the way. Having initiated at profound levels, Lira brings extraordinary courage and devotion to her service as facilitator, loving teacher, and guide. As Wayshower, she opens pathways for you to discover your own courage and passion, and dare to go beyond all experiences of Self. Service is an element to all Living Shaman journeys, and making this commitment is making a commitment to Self, as it will return to you gifts that honor those ancient pieces of you that know and remember this way of Being well. If there is a glimmer of excitement that calls you to join the next journey, pack your willingness and open heart, and enjoy the ride! You will never be the same. ~ In Grateful Service, Maya Minwah December 2008
"To journey with Lyra is a life changing event if one allows self to receive...."
The teachings are both bitter and sweet, gentle and strong, clearing the way for ones personal growth. Personally for me, I have gained greater knowing of self, expansion of the heart, movement and shifting inside bringing a fuller and richer life. Her teachings are so expansive I have few words. To be in her presence is an exceptional experience; and to journey with her always touches the unknown and one becomes apart of the unfolding mystery. Lyra draws deep and strong from both the well within her own being as well as guidance from multidimensional realms personalized to each participant. On a journey, all participants together weave the totality of the experience creating its own unique masterpiece of creation ... for we are the creators! Amazing and enlightening to be involved with Lyra’s teachings. ~Careena
"a cosmic "Aha!" Something I didn't quite know was out there, yet yearned for"
This was my first real taste of shamanic work and consider what we did on our journey and the way the trip affected me, to be a peak experience in my life. While there I lived in a heightened state of awareness. A state that previously I'd never been privy to. It was if a veil had been pulled aside allowing me to tap into greater depths of my Self and thus feel connected to something greater than myself. I felt affected on every level—being given messages in my dreams, having visionary states, even channeling information. This was not a reality I was familiar with, yet it was a cosmic "Aha!". Something I didn't quite know was out there, yet yearned for. The thought that I was actually doing something meaningful for myself and for the greater good of the planet was deeply fulfilling. Lyra's connection to spirit, her conviction and dedication have been deeply inspiring. Her healing work did more for me than years of therapy. I feel blessed that our paths have crossed." —M.K., Graphic Designer
"If you are serious about showing up for your life's journey, she is the ultimate tour guide."
"Journeys with Lyra are not vacations; they are opportunities to change your life. I've participated in about 6 trips with Lyra, (communing with the oracle at Delphi; facing my fears in the jungle in Coba and Telume, and later in Teotihuacan, Mexico; swimming with wild dolphins in Bimini and most recently a multi-dimensional exploration of Peru and Bolivia). With each journey, I've come home a new person. Her style of teaching is not text-book and no two people will have the same experience. She doesn't preach. She just says what she has to say; you can take it or leave it. The more you bring of yourself, the more you will transform. If you are serious about showing up for your life's journey, she is the ultimate tour guide." —M.H., Channel, Life Coach
"Journeying with Lira is about empowerment..."
As days and nights unfold all led us into Self- Knowledge, leaving aside contol, worry and judgement to simply appreciate the fullness of every moment. For our travels there was no set of rules handed out, no formula to learn how to better be with our magic,but rather we were led by hand into a place where taking responsability for flowering into ourselves would come more naturally. The scenery in Bolivia and Peru were stunning, the food was rich and flavourful, the laughs and the depth of the relationship amongst ourselves unforgettable...above all the sacredness of the work presenting itself to us unique and precious. Journeying with Lyra is a life-changing experience, a shedding of the old skin that allows us a glimpse of how our lives could be led every day; being with her allows us to finally take off our battered coats of old ways and walk into a world where every breath we take is magic. ~Marina Leccese
"Being a part of Lirasʼ ceremonies is akin to following the white rabbit...."
into Aliceʼs hole of adventure, the transformation is undeniable. Choosing to step into ones own mastery and wholeness is a most exhilarating dance to say “yes” to, and Lira provides the gateway for this to occur. Lyra’s transcendental shamanic visionary skills and gifts have granted me the opportunity to be reborn over and over again, I hope you will savor this timeless opportunity and choose to come into wholeness. ~V.A., artisan-energetic healer
