African Shaman Makhosi Nejeser looks back over the challenges and triumphs of her life so far…
I
grew up a mixed-race child of a single teen mother in small-town, Southern West Virginia. I was determined to make something of myself no matter what and avoid becoming a statistic. In college, I was a classic overachiever. I took the prerequisites for Medical School while simultaneously getting two Bachelor’s Degrees in Business & Marketing Management as a back-up plan. Since my teens, I always found myself in various sales, marketing and management positions because business was like second-nature to me. Shortly before I began my spiritual journey, I became a Top 1% Consultant in a huge Direct Sales Company. I wanted to be able to work from home to be with my infant son. From childhood, I was absolutely obsessed with Ancient Wisdom, specifically of Ancient Egypt. I was introduced into my first initiation by a former professor of mine who had come into contact with an organization offering spiritual teaching from a Dogon (West African) Priest with roots in the Ancient Egyptian Mystery Schools. I spent three years undergoing initiation in the Ancient Egyptian Mystery Schools, traveling back and forth to several West African countries. I needed to decondition from the colonial paradigm and step into the shamanic perspective. I continued studying and eventually met
my Spiritual Mother who I had seen in a dream a year prior. My training to become a Sangoma (Zulu Shaman) and Sanusi (Seer/Holy Person) continued with her, culminating in seven initiations in South Africa. The initiation process itself is very gruelling, physically, mentally and emotionally. This is why in South Africa, no one wants to become a shaman and those who are called typically run away from it until they no longer have a choice. The additional challenges have come from directly confronting societal beliefs about what it means to be a “good” person, woman, mother and wife in order to follow my calling. Now, I work with high-achievers and entrepreneurs to fulfil their highest potential and find alignment using my Energetics of Euphoria method. To people that have only heard of shamans, the idea of working with a shaman in business can be very perplexing. Once they understand that I’m a catalyst for their mind set, mindfulness and metaphysics, it makes perfect sense. I’m simply guiding people towards self-actualisation and ultimately, transcendence. When I’m not working, I love to read and research random knowledge. I watch YouTube videos on style and makeup and enjoy lots of comedy and family movie nights with my husband and son. My greatest wish is that we become more aware of the problems we have perpetuated on a societal level and more consciously create a new paradigm. Clearly, what we’ve been doing has been so destructive not only in the big picture, but all the way down to the individual. We each came to be a unique, embodied expression in this world and by serving others with that exquisite genius, not limiting ourselves to just the status quo, we can experience an unparalleled level of euphoric fulfilment and create a legacy that ripples throughout time and beyond. n
