This is Episode 379. 0:13 Ashley James: I am so excited for today's guest. We have back on the show Theresa Vigarino. Theresa was in episode 88 almost two years ago. And Theresa and I have stayed connected and stayed friends since then. I loved our interview back in Episode 88. And Theresa has so much to share with us. I am really excited to hear the story. She started trying to tell me over Skype the other day and I was like, "No, no, no, I want the listeners to hear it too." I really want to hear what's happened. And she started just giving little tidbits of the last two years and I got so excited that I have to record this. So let's just save it for the interview. So this is going to be new information for me too. Theresa, your life last two years has been quite amazing. Welcome back. 1:06 Theresa Vigarino: Oh, yeah. It has. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Ashley. I love being here. And I love the people that I've met that reached out to me two years ago through the podcast interview we did back then and you know, I have nothing but love for you and being brave. And I'm just so honored to be here because I know you have such a beautiful tribe of listeners and people that are really ready to awaken to who they really are. 1:36 Ashley James: Exactly. 1:36 Theresa Vigarino: So I'm happy to be part of that process even just a little bit. 1:40 Ashley James: Oh, wonderful. Awaken to who you really are. And isn't that what it's all about? Now you have a free giveaway for the listeners. You're so funny, you're like podcasters expect us to give things away. And I'm just like, isn't your presence enough? We're going to give something cool to the listeners. Okay, so you have a gift for the listeners. It's free, three people. And you created it a while ago, but it's still very relevant. And it's a free audio course on manifesting in your life. And so the link to that is going to be in the show of today's podcast at www.learntruehealth.com and then listeners can go to that and they sign up for your free audio course where you teach techniques for designing your life in a way that manifests the miraculous. 2:33 Theresa Vigarino: Absolutely. And I just love teaching this because so often in life we walk around feeling victim to our circumstances, when in actuality we manifest all the time. And so understanding this and that literally when you look around your life experience you are the creator of what you're seeing around you. And that's the beginning actually. And what I've learned in the past two years is there's so much more and there's always more to learn and grow and experience and expand and I've been going to school, I've gone to spiritual school, if you will, the last couple of years, man. Wow is all I can say. 3:12 Ashley James: The spiritual school of hard knocks, right? 3:15 Theresa Vigarino: A little bit, some intense growth because it was life or death for me quite frankly. And I was brought to my knees. If only I could have bent my knees, I would have been on my knees. But at the time I was turning into a stiff lady with scleroderma. And it was really a divine unfoldment although it was extremely uncomfortable. And I was extremely ill. It took me to my knees so that I could grow. 3:44 Ashley James: Yeah. 3:46 Theresa Vigarino: And I could really learn what healing was all about. 3:49 Ashley James: It's in the hardest times that we can gain the most growth. 3:54 Theresa Vigarino: Yes, and I'm still learning and it's a forever deal for all of us. But what I went through in the past two years since we last spoke was basically the heroine's journey of my life. A solo journey into the depths of my being, into the depths of what I was creating, into the depths of disease, into the depths of emotional healing, into the depths of energy and vibration, and ancient plant medicine and Shamanism. 4:22 Ashley James: In the depths of the jungle. I can't wait to get to that part of the story. 4:25 Theresa Vigarino: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Into the depth, depth, depths of the jungle. 4:28 Ashley James: So take us back. So after our interview you told me that you ended up falling sick, is that with scleroderma? And you ended up in the hospital? Can you tell us about that? 4:40 Theresa Vigarino: Yes. Well, 2017. In 2016, at the end of the year, I was very, very sick. And that's whenever I had an evening. And there were so many things that were happening, including an adrenal crisis that literally could have taken me out. Like at any point, I remember lying bed, we had just gone through the holidays. So it was January 2017. And I had just moved, I was in an area that I didn't know anyone except my husband and he was actually out of town. I had no family around me. And I was very, very, very ill and I was lying in bed ready to call him to come home from a meeting or 911. And at the time my kidneys were shutting down. The scleroderma was so wrapped around the linings of my lungs that I was having bad EKGs. I was feeling like I couldn't breathe. I was struggling to move my body. I was crawling to the bathroom, I'm only not being able to urinate that evening. And I mean, I just wanted to go. I was so sick, I crawled back in bed, and I will never forget this as long as I live. And I said, "God, I'm ready." And all of a sudden, deep in this meditative space, so I was struggling both dimensions I saw the face of Yeshua, the Christ say to me, "Really? Are you sure about that?" And then immediately, like a snapshot picture of my husband's face, a snapshot picture of my daughter's face, then my son's face, and then a room full of people. It was like a giant auditorium and all these people looking at me that I did not recognize. And I said, "No, of course I'm not ready. I'll stay. I know I'm not done yet." And so he began to show me along with some archangels that were in my room that night how to self-heal. So at the time we knew I had a mass in my lung. We knew I was in adrenal crisis, we knew my kidneys were inflamed, we knew that I was really in bad shape. I wasn't getting enough oxygen to my heart through the scleroderma process. And he was showing me how to self heal. And so immediately the next day, I started feeling a little bit better. What happened after that, now It took me, I wasn't fully healed after that, and I ended up spiraling down in a different way later in the year. But what happened was, he told me to start praying for my clients. Now at the time, I was always the spiritual warrior, right? But I wasn't always praying for people outside of my family, friends and people I was very close to. And so I started actually praying for people and they started having miraculous results; a healing of Crohn's disease, a pain in the knee, you know, migraines, financial woes, relationship problems, it didn't matter what the subject matter was. And I would hear him say, pray. And the prayers were always channeled. I could not not remember any of them afterwards. And so I then began to discover this part of me that I had been told that I was resistant into allowing to unfold in my life, because of the ego and fear of what people would think and what if it didn't work, and all of this right? That I projected, that was amazing, miraculous, miraculous experience for me. And it was just so humbling. And after that, later in the year, I again began to plummet in my health. And so I got an invitation to go to the jungle of the Amazon to partake in the plant medicine from a friend. 8:22 Ashley James: Okay, first, can you just take us back to that invitation? So was it kind of like out of the blue? 8:30 Theresa Vigarino: Yeah. So yes, it was, and yet it wasn't. So I have a mentor who was helping me understand maybe in a clear conscious conduit, you know, medium of sorts, spiritual teacher and accessing and amplifying these gifts and understanding it more. And she said to me, "Theresa, you really need to investigate plant medicine." So I began a search in my area in the Bay Area, south of San Francisco, and I was looking into Shamanism and plant medicine, but I didn't know anything about it quite frankly. I had heard of it a little bit, but really had not researched it prior to that, and didn't know, didn't understand it at all. So out of the blue. But you know, the universe works this way. Right? I get this blessing dropped in my lap. In November, the week before Thanksgiving, I get a call from a friend of mine who I knew from a business group, not a spiritual group, he wasn't a client or anything just from a business coach that I was involved with for a while. And I met him at an event and we became friends and out of the blue, hadn't spoken to him in a year. He calls me up and he says, "Theresa, I am running a retreat to the depths of the jungle in Peru to the Amazon. And I have an opening that just came available. We leave in two days and for some reason I just know you're supposed to be there." Now this guy had no idea of my physical struggles. I just wasn't talking about it with everybody all the time, working on rewriting my story. And I was just about fell out of my chair. He said, "Just buy your ticket. Meet me in Iquitos. This is when you need to meet me." And it was in two days. 10:15 Ashley James: In Peru. Iquitos, Peru. 10:17 Theresa Vigarino: In Peru. Yeah. 10:18 Ashley James: So fly from San Francisco to Peru in two days and you've been like on your deathbed twice in the last year. 10:26 Theresa Vigarino: Yes. And actually just days before that, had been back to the hospital for heart pain, chronic heart pain that wasn't going away and I did have a bad EKG and they didn't really know what was causing it and so I was really not feeling well and I actually was on lockdown with my connective tissues, so I wasn't able to move my joints very easily. And so I was really struggling, Ashley, and I was in a lot of pain and I didn't understand what was happening actually. 10:57 Ashley James: So scleroderma which you've had over a long time… 11:02 Theresa Vigarino: Since I was four, yeah. 11:03 Ashley James: Is that an autoimmune condition of the connective tissue? 11:06 Theresa Vigarino: It is and so the way they describe it is autoimmune vascular because it's also in the blood vessels, arthritic, because a soft tissue arthritis, inflammatory because it inflames organs. 11:24 Ashley James: So, everything but bones? 11:26 Theresa Vigarino: Everything but bones and lipid. 11:28 Ashley James: Wow. Okay, so yeah, so you're in rough shape, but you gotta get to Peru two days to go into the jungle. 11:34 Theresa Vigarino: Yes. And I got off the phone with him. And I said to Victor, my husband, I was like, "Babe, you aren't gonna believe this." But now we don't say this to each other. "You're not gonna believe this." Because we believe just about anything after everything we've gone through. We are not surprised by surprises. You know, and he didn't know this person at the time. And I said, "Jimmy invited me to go, he's the guy from this event. And we became friends, invited me to go with him to do plant medicine." And he was like, "Well, you gotta go. You gotta go." 12:06 Ashley James: I love your husband. I've never met him, but I love him. Just the fact he was supportive. How many spouses would be like, "No, you're too sick. What do you mean? You're not going to the jungle, with a complete strange man I've never met." Like, oh my gosh. And he's like, "Go, you have to. It's your journey." I just love him. 12:24 Theresa Vigarino: He is so amazing. And he's also been to the jungle three times, and we'll go into that. 12:28 Ashley James: Not before this point and after this point. So he had never been to the jungle. He didn't know Jimmy. He knows that you're struggling physically. But he said go. So okay, so there you go. So two days later, you've managed to figure out your life and get to Peru, then what happened. 12:46 Theresa Vigarino: So we meet at the airport and we begin our journey into the jungle. So Iquitos is you fly to Lima, we met in Lima. And then we take the two and a half hour flight, there's the only way to Iquitos is by boat or airplane. You're really locked in the jungle there and it's on the river. And so it's really the gateway to Shamanism, because even if you decide to go into Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, it's up in that corridor where those countries all kind of meet, and it is the gateway to traditional plant medicine. So yeah, I land in Lima, we meet with our group, I think we were a group of like 11 of us and we take the smaller plane over the mountains and into the jungle. And then we take about a two hour bus ride, and an hour boat ride to this oasis of beauty because this woman that owns this lodge for plant medicine, and so she also has people that just want to come and experience the jungle. But mostly it's a healing retreat center. And it is absolutely, well, it's my second home now, one of the most beautiful places you can imagine. And you know, even though it's beautifully appointed, you're still in the jungle, so there's a lot of jungle that goes with it that you have to acclimate to, and that a lot of people are fearful of and you face those fears, because you're there. 14:11 Ashley James: Right. Like spiders. 14:15 Theresa Vigarino: Like spiders. Like everything and, and you know, my husband and I adventurous as we are, we really got into that show Naked and Afraid. And the ones that always tapped out were the ones that were in the Amazon. So I did have a little bit of fear. I'll be honest, you know, it was a little scary for me of the critters. And now I know they're just my friends coming to say hi. 14:40 Ashley James: Oh my gosh. 14:41 Theresa Vigarino: I love more than others like the butterflies and dragonflies and the birds, you know, and the lady bugs but you know, there's some that I'm like, "Okay, hi." From afar, right? 14:51 Ashley James: Yes. 14:52 Theresa Vigarino: Yeah. So it was quite a personal growing experience into the realm of other life forms, because there are more different types of life forms in the Amazon jungle than anywhere on Earth. 15:06 Ashley James: Oh, I bet and it's such a shame that they've been burning parts of it down. And I mean, it just breaks my heart. But this idea of getting out of your comfort zone, just, I mean, step one, right? You took a leap of faith. Step two, you're out of your comfort zone, because you're surrounded by animals and insects. And you know, it's a foreign langua…
