ESPERANZA SMITH

POWERHOUSE GLOBAL MAGAZINE (PGMAG) INTERVIEW WITH:

ESPERANZA SMITH (ES)

PGMAG: Esperanza, so good to have you on today’s interview with Lady Anita.

ES: Thank you for giving me the honor to share with others some of my work, Vision, the Consciousness movement, further integration of our well-being, and what I believe to be a juncture in our human evolution.

PGMAG: Please briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

ES: I am a holistic educator & healer, writer/ author, artist, speaker and Founder of PureEsperanza, NFP. I’m also a mother and grandmother and while all these have a special place in my Life, I see myself as a life-long learner, living Life with intention, purpose, and a soul committed to our human evolution.

PGMAG: As an authority in holistic healing, what are some of the steps needed to overcome anxiety?

ES: My first inclination is to look at how we perceive a condition, including anxiety. If we want to change something it is in our power to transform it and heal it. However, we, first, must come into relationship with it. Embracing it and understanding how it has served us allows us to enter into a relationship with it. This is the precursor to all well-being and healing at each level of body, mind and soul. We can look into anxiety from each of these levels. You can treat it physically, emotionally, and mentally, but to heal it you must treat it at each of these levels from the standpoint that we are a whole organism functioning as one. That is what it means to holistically heal. So, first, come into relationship with the condition (e.g. anxiety in this case). Get to know You, all of You, and that will include what lies more in the unconscious, or dark places, brought to more conscious light.

Whether you are working with the guidance of a professional, or Within yourself, willingness is key to your process of discovery. Either way, retaining authorship and keeping your power to heal is vital.

This is how we begin to order it from the level of the soul. Each human is a unique organism, and that is why allopathic medicine and Western medicine limits the whole individual organism by treating symptoms, relieving pain, using a conventional standard measurement, to name only a few ways it fails the integrity of the whole. Certainly, it can help, but to transform and heal a condition, a holistic approach will seek to track and identify the connections that block, misalign, and hamper our energy on each level or plane of its existence. With anxiety, we can begin to look at how fear is at work. We can be effective with many natural remedies in our foods, plants, and intake that will support the functions of brain activity and biochemical processes in an individual. We can create physical activity in the movement of our body and its rhythms that will positively affect us and support us. We can work with what triggers our emotions at the onset and once it sets in and takes control through observation, introspection, and retraining the thoughts attached to it, the mindsets, and beliefs, the level of the mind. The culprits of patterns are not always that difficult to find. The remedies, transformation, and ultimately healing, lies in the layers of all that we have created to avoid it, what labels we have attached to define who we are, fear of facing our deepest fear, and the countless masks that are in place, keeping us from truly knowing what we are. So, back to the basics, and of course there are layers, not necessarily complicated, but involving patience, determination, and a tenacious love for yourself to reconnect with your wholeness. From here, true transformation and healing happens from the level of Spirit, pure energy, aka consciousness.

PGMAG: What do you think are the role of women in shaping the future of business?

ES: In the history of our human evolution, in various forms and proportions, the Divine Feminine Principle was denounced. Ancients perceived it as the “Divine Feminine Mystery”. Women held not only the power of creation, physically through their bodies and more, but also as being highly receptive, intuitive, connected to their power and its energy to create from the heart center. Over the centuries, civilizations and cultures lost this collective connection and replaced it with intellect which carries its own energy. The forces of heart carry more warmth and the forces of intellect (head) more cold. Both are needed and the integration of both forces, reuniting the whole are planted in the Wisdom seed of the Divine Feminine Mystery. This is what the role of women graciously offers the future of business, our world, and the next stage of our human evolution. In this growing awareness, consciousness, women that choose to create from their heart center will be the healers of humanity bringing wisdom, compassion, universal perspectives, stronger communications, openness, willingness, resilience, patience, determination, nurturing and nourishing care to tend to all aspects of Life, further integrating relationships with all Life be it individuals in business, family, communities, planet, and clearing the way for future generations of the human race.

PGMAG: What is your message for women of the world?

ES: Invest in educating yourself and by that I do not mean simply a formal education. I mean educate You with a sincere effort to discover your innate power to create. Be the astute observer of all your connections with Life all around you, then apply what you learn, then practice it again and again. Carry this seed to discover, and rediscover You, Within, as you sow, plant, and harvest with each cycle of Life. Be the Keeper of this Wisdom as you reinvent yourself and create anew in each and every stage of your Life. Be the Power to pass it on.

PGMAG: Please tell us more about PureEsperanza.

ES: The origin of how PureEsperanza evolved was a vision given to me at age 18, after a dance with deadly disease that helped to align me and commit to my purpose. There were many years in the making and many times its physical form was entertained, in different locations with varied groups, but it had to wait until its time was ripe. Now is the time. The core of this vision resounds in our non-profit organization’s, PureEsperanza, mission statement. “Dedicated to bringing forth more consciousness while educating body, mind and soul in the art of well-being”. The vision of being a part of creating a new world, our next human evolution is echoed in our core values of which are: We are Creators of Life. Our Imagination is our Creative Power. Consciousness is Ever Expanding in All Life. We are what we Believe. We, All Life, are intrinsically Interconnected. We see the Whole mirrored in the Reflections of All. I believe that there are already in existence and will be many more holistic educational centers to assist in this process of human evolution. PureEsperanza is focused on facilitating and creating an international educational platform for connecting all aspects of well-being with the more integrated version of the multi-dimensional beings we are. We embrace diversified ways to share wisdom and healing in meeting individuals on whatever part of their journey they are on and aware of in that moment, knowing that it’s all connected and one part leads to another, always back to the whole. Uniquely, we also embrace the merging of spiritual and science, that has already to come us through the wisdom of metaphysics, esoterics, philosophies, and world religions, now transcending into new frontiers of leading, cutting edge, healing modalities using quantum reality and energy medicine. We are excited to create in collaboration with others around the world, towards fulfilling our mission with our offerings, services, products, and above all connection with one another. We are what we Believe.

PGMAG: what are some of the measures needed to aid economic recovery in this challenged time?

ES: A holistic approach to everything. One can not speak of economic recovery, or health, education, government, or any system that is in place without the other. We are watching systems fail and crumble. All is interconnected; and until we shift into more conscious perspectives that birth enlightened ideas for creating measures that connect, unify, and empower individuals to be the sovereign power Within themselves, able to purposefully serve the collective, we will again create limitations, blocks and cause disconnect. The good news is that each of us individually can begin to make this shift with the precious life we live in this moment. We are the paradigm shift.

PGMAG: What were the top three books that changed your life?

ES: “As A Man Thinketh”, by James Allen. “The Power Of Now”, by Eckhart Tolle. While there are so many that have had a great impact upon my journey, I would have to say that there is great power in archetypes that live within the characters of a story and often even more potent than information in nonfiction. One that has deeply impacted my Life a timeless way, such as the wisdom of eternal fairy tales, and traveled with me on my journey is “The Chronicles Of Narnia”, by C.S. Lewis.

PGMAG: If you knew what you know now, what would you do differently?

ES: It is because of what I Know now that I would do nothing differently.

PGMAG: What would you say to your younger self?

ES: Be patient.

PGMAG: Finally, what makes you laugh?

ES: Seeing myself in reflections of quirkiness, mishaps, foibles, and all the ways Life reminds us not to take It, others or ourselves too “seriously”.

PGMAG: Thank you for your time – much appreciated.

ES: So, very Thankful for Powerhouse Global magazine giving voice and expression to shifts in individual and collective consciousness, leading with plentiful seeds for a brighter world, future for us all, and the generations to follow.
