Julio Santana: Spirit Guide and Mentor

Helpful information is everywhere.

‘Answers’ are everywhere.

Yet no amount of knowledge or understanding is enough to quell the soul’s longing for something else.

More than a perfect method or plan, you may be harboring a deep desire to be seen and supported unconditionally.

My job, above all, is to hold space for you wherever you’re at.

Inside of most adults is a delicate child attempting to get rid of the angst through material change, gain and accomplishment. Or, you’re in a loop of constant avoidance and distraction, deeply afraid to disrupt the autopilot you’ve accepted as your norm—however draining it may be.

The paradox: you recognize your desire for ‘change,’ but cling to the norm you resent.

It’s okay.

Let us collapse all judgment, and directly address what’s really going on: what you really want and what’s really at the core of your resistance.

Otherwise, we keep trying to build on top of a contaminated foundation.

The only thing that matters is the truth.

See if any of the following apply:

  • You’ve been in talk therapy but it’s run its course.

  • You’re successful ‘on paper’ but your soul longs for something else.

  • You want to align more powerfully with your voice on social media.

  • You just want to talk.
