I help people navigate the spiritual awakening process, the dark nights of the soul, and deep life transformation.
On this channel, you’ll learn how to move through spiritual awakening symptoms, emotional challenges, and identity shifts with more understanding and trust. We explore topics like awakening stages, ego dissolution, letting go, intuition, and what it really means to align with your higher self — in a grounded, practical way.
This isn’t surface-level new age spirituality. I keep it real and grounded. My mission is to help people use the challenges of their awakening to grow and expand into the greatest version of themselves.
If you’re going through a spiritual awakening… feeling lost in life… or being pushed to grow in ways you don’t fully understand yet — this channel will help you make sense of it and move forward with confidence.
New videos to support your awakening, purpose, and personal growth.

Are you feeling this? (things are getting interesting)
Transformation is often very messy.
Friedrich Nietzsche brilliantly said...
"one must have chaos in oneself... to give birth to a dancing star"
Right now you may be experiencing...
A lot of movement in your outer life, with little or no clarity about the end result
Alternatively, some may also feel completely stagnant, but with a pressure building that seems to represent change
An emotional purge of old patterns and issues that conflict with where life is trying to guide you...
Sometimes we need this kind of instability to grow...
Sometimes we need to move backwards... in order to move forward again...
And always we need that chaos to break through into the next-level version of ourselves that is a match for the reality that's in the process of forming.
Are you feeling this?
I had a dream last night that captured this nicely...
I was about to go on stage for a live event I had somehow created.
I was greeting all the lovely people and feeling so appreciative of their presence :)
Then I realized...
I had nothing planned!
Moments before going on to give the opening talk, I had NOTHING.
I sat on the floor in the back room with my notebook and wrote...
TRUST
Then I felt better and walked on stage.
I share that to say...
You too may feel unprepared...
You may feel like life is getting away from you and you're losing control.
But remember... you can trust all of that.
You are in good hands, my friend :)
PS. We still have a few openings for our upcoming 12-week transformation cohort that starts May 30th.

We're looking for 20 people...
Pattie and I are opening up a small number of spots inside a brand new group coaching container we’ll be starting soon.
This is not a huge program with hundreds of people.
We’re keeping it intimate on purpose. (only 20 people)
We want people who are genuinely ready to go deep... to heal old patterns at the root, reconnect with their deeper truth, and begin creating real change in their everyday life.
If that feels aligned with where you’re at right now, I’d love for you to apply.

👉 awakeninghelp.com/coachingwithme
Over the past 8 years, Pattie and I have guided thousands of people through retreats, group programs, ceremonies, and transformational experiences.
And through all of that, we’ve found that
the deepest breakthroughs tend to come from 3 things:
1. Healing the deeper patterns... (at the root)
Most people know they have blocks, wounds, fears, and subconscious patterns...
but awareness alone doesn’t always set you free.
That’s why this program is not just about insight...
It’s about actually going into those deeper layers and beginning to heal them.
One of the main ways we do that is through serial breath-work...
This is multiple somatic release sessions done over time, in a safe container, with preparation, guidance, and integration.
And when you do this kind of work consecutively, it becomes about much more than a one time catharsis.
It can actually free you from the deeper patterns that have been running your life and limiting your potential.
2. Reconnecting with your deeper truth... (and gaining clarity)
My breath-work teacher would always say...
"After you clear... you become clear"
After the serial breath-work and as some of those inner layers begin to heal...
you begin to re-connect with buried parts of yourself.
Carl Jung calls it, "your gold."
Which is your essence... your authenticity... your purpose.
Basically, loads of creative energy will become available after all that breath-work!
And I've learned to take full advantage.
So this phase is all about refining what can be vague inspirations and mapping out an actual plan.
Not just any plan though... but a clear vision founded upon your highest truth!
When you are clear about something that excites you and resonates,
that feeling of being stuck goes away...
and is replaced by inspiration and guidance.
3. Turning inner transformation and clarity into real-life change
This part is huge.
Because a lot of healing work stops at the breakthrough...
but your actual life doesn’t always change.
This program is about embodiment too.
It’s about taking the healing, clarity, and freedom that emerge...
and applying them to your daily life,
your habits,
your relationships,
your career,
your health,
and your living situation.
Not just feeling different for a little while...
but actually beginning to show up to your life differently.
This phase I credit to my experience as an entrepreneur.
Here is where I learned how to transform my daily habits, take action, get results, and gain mastery over my outer life.
That, for me was the missing piece.
So anyways that’s the heart of it, my friend!
If that speaks to you, you can learn more here:

Words fail me...
I am always surprised at just how FAST...
things can turn around.
Our awakening process LOVES to create illusions.
The spiritual journey can twist up our minds so we see things a certain way.
From these temporary, fragmented perspectives... distorted by the very pockets of unconsciousness being cleansed at the time.
Our mind has a field day lol
It comes up all sorts of worse case scenario conclusions.
And we get the impression that we are living on a sinking ship.
And then it happens...
One phone call...
One fresh inspired idea...
One dream...
One instant
and everything shifts.
We wake up from the nightmare of unconsciousness and remember our power.
We once again are able to see things clearly...
We are able to pick up on solutions to our life's dillemmas with ease.
Whew!
Thank goodness
it was just a dream.
A dream of unconsciousness that we choose to experience for the purpose of growth and expansion.
PS. Are you coming this weekend?
Pattie and I (mostly Pattie) are leading a POWERFUL and NEW type of transformational breath-work this Saturday at 10am pacific.

Message about tomorrow's New Moon...
This New Moon is all about... "aligned action."
Now is a great time to make rapid progress... in your outer life.
You might find yourself with more motivation, inspiration, and guidance this week.
With this faster rate of progress, however, often comes a little (or a lot!) of growth.
So parallel to this theme of forward action, you may find yourself becoming aware of old beliefs about your capabilities.
This reminds me a lot of when I started my YouTube channels.
I had a lot of passion and what felt like backing from the universe.
And once I got into a groove, I found myself even impressed with some of my work.
But during that time, I would also bump into really heavy pockets of self-doubt, fear, and disconnection.
The Toltecs call this "the parasite."
This is the part of your brain that has kept records of each and every one of your failures, mistakes, and shortcomings.
Moving forward into the unknown will, without fail, activate this negative Nelly living inside your head.
Total buzzkill here... you can be flying high, making progress, feeling great, and then one thought emerges... one memory from your past...
and before you know it, the fear takes over...
your inspiration and excitement are gone.
And moments later, you feel deflated like a birthday balloon.
The New Moon, however, is there to act as the silver lining.
You will find yourself with heightened awareness.
And with that awareness, an enhanced ability to discern truth from fiction.
So while those feelings may be present... the doubt, fear, fog, etc...
and even the negative thought patterns that stem from them...
you might find yourself, perhaps for the first time...
really questioning them.
Hmm... does that really sound like me now, today?
You will be able to shatter many of these illusions this week.
And this will only make you stronger...
and help you soar that much higher...
and progress that much faster.
You will be like an alchemist this week... bumping into resistance... and then diffusing it with your awareness.
Any roadblock, then, is really just fuel for your fire.
The catch...
This isn't always as easy as I’m making it sound.
The parasite is very slick... and knows just the right words to use in order to pull your strings.
So don't be discouraged if you fall for its spell here and there.
You won't linger there long.
The awareness in you is much too strong now.
Those LONG months of shadow work will start to really pay off in a big way this week.
You're not the same person you were even 6 months ago.
Your inner parasite is on its last leg, my friend.
PS. For you deep divers...

🌕 Full Moon Message For Tomorrow!
Hey my friend,
My guess is that you may already be feeling the effects of the Full Moon.
It’s very common for your emotions…
much like a shaken snow globe…
to feel loosened… floating near the surface.
During the 2–3 days leading up to the Full Moon, it doesn’t take much!
The people in your life…
can often be the biggest trigger.
And yes, it can feel uncomfortable at times…
managing the storm within…
while still fulfilling your responsibilities in daily life.
But there is a purpose to all of this…
and a VERY worthwhile benefit.
Because when we become more conscious of the contents of our “emotional snow globe,”
we gain the opportunity to heal…
release…
and often…
see right through what once felt so real.
You may discover that an emotion you’ve been running from most of your life…
isn’t actually what you thought it was.
Like a child running toward you with a blanket over their head, pretending to be a ghost.
Only in the darkness… with fear in the air…
could something like that truly scare you.
Around this time, you may notice a newfound courage and curiosity emerging within you…
Hmm… what is this energy that keeps coming up?
What is it… really?
Let’s take a look under the blanket.
Often, it’s simply a false belief that’s been given far too much power.
Or perhaps a misunderstanding…
Or just emotional energy that’s been waiting for someone — someone like you — to finally acknowledge it.
During the time of the Full Moon…
liberation is possible.
Healing is likely.
A resurgence of your personal POWER…
is available.
But you must stop running.
You must be willing to face yourself…
all parts of yourself.
That is both the challenge…
and the blessing…
of tomorrow’s Full Moon.
PS. For you deep divers out there…
1. This Saturday, I’m hosting a free online Past Life Regression experience.
If you feel called to explore yourself beyond the surface… and access deeper layers of insight, healing, and remembrance…
Reserve your spot here: awakeninghelp.com/online-ceremonies-2/
2. If you’ve been sensing the intensity or momentum of this current energy… I recently shared a deeper look at the energetic themes shaping this week.

🔥 Weekly Energy Update - (finally... the wait is over!)
Hey my friend,
Today I want to share with you some insights about this week…
and I think you're going to like them :)
This is a week of movement…
progress…
and the beginning of something new, exciting…
and most importantly — aligned.
The energy right now reminds me of when I was growing medical marijuana.
Cannabis is a plant that starts off VERY slowly…
For what feels like an eternity to the grower, the plants are very small, slow-growing, and fragile. (The seedling stage)
But there is a threshold…
And once crossed… those little babies start to explode with vigorous growth. (The vegetative stage)
Once you hit the flowering stage, they grow so fast that the only challenge is keeping up with them!
An unattended garden can quickly become out of control!
I share this because right now many of us are in the seedling stage.
And this may sound disappointing lol
Really Vic, come on?
The good news is…
You are probably sitting on some good “genetics.”
And to a grower, this is GOLD!
That's my last growing reference I promise :)
What I am saying is...
The time you’ve taken in the last several months has led you here…
To a great start with a solid foundation.
In a direction that is perhaps more YOU than ever!
You have the wind at your back…
The universe rooting you on…
And even though growth may be a little slow at first…
Time will pass on its own.
And before you know it…
Your new path will be expanding and progressing so rapidly you may even look back on this period with nostalgia… because you’ll want a break from all the action!
Be patient at this time.
BIG things… take time.
But all of that healing and shedding and figuring out you’ve been doing has led you to… yes, the start.
But not just any start.
The start of something awesome.
The start of a whole new chapter of your life that will surely expand BEYOND your preferences…
Because it’s backed by your authenticity.
It’s an extension of your TRUE self.
Waiting time is over…
It’s go time, my friend!
PS. Did you know Pattie and I have a podcast?

🔥Full Moon Message For Tonight!
Hey my friend,
I wanted to share this real quick...
I just released a new video on the topic - 👉 https://youtu.be/svxyqNJWSng
But if you don't have time,
Here is the important thing to note about tonight's powerful alignment...
It's a time to believe in your dreams...
The universe works in very unusual ways sometimes...
A lot of times for example... we want something, but then experience so many road blocks as we move towards it.
This happens especially during eclipse season because such a high degree of "alignment" is demanded.
So any teeny little thing that's off... will halt the whole production.
Sometimes it can be just a tweak to get things flowing again.
But you may find yourself experiencing these set backs, one after another...
Sometimes within yourself... old emotions creeping back in
Sometimes in your outer life... actual problems arising out of nowhere.
Many times... it's both!
Yet... it's ALL guidance my friend.
It's all data, helpful information so that you can make better, wiser, more conscious decisions and experience the best outcome.
So use it all is my advice. The challenges, the lessons, the guidance.
All is working to help usher you along on the highest path.
Take care,
Sincerely,
Victor

How are y'all feeling? (physically)
The awakening process can be very physical at times.
And... all over the place!
Sometimes you're flying high, beaming with energy and enthusiasm...
and others... exhausted for no apparant reason.
Right now many are feeling...
Overstimulated.
When your nervous system is revved up constantly, fatigue sets in, your sleep is disturbed, and overall mood declines.
It's also very hard to NOT be overstimulated in this world!
I have had some success locking my phone up and setting firmer boundaries with screens, but it's still a work in progress.
How are you all feeling these days?
Are you doing anything interesting that's helping?
PS. Pattie and I filmed our first podcast episode in 4 years! (yesterday)
Super excited to get it out!

🤘An Invitation (for those who feel called)
Ayahuasca Retreat In Costa Rica 2026
Hey my friends,
Exciting news :)
For those feeling the call to work with ayahuasca.
My wife Pattie and I are hosting a retreat this summer!
DATES: July 21st - 26th, 2026
LOCATION: Nosara, Costa Rica
More info here >> www.soulinaretreats.com/
Just too clarify straight away...
Pattie and I don't pour the medicine... (we are not shamans)
We organize the retreats,
create the safe container,
and gather the right people (grounded, spiritually mature, sincere seekers of truth)
We are, however, absolutely blessed to have connected with AMAZING shamans who lead the actual ayahuasca ceremonies.
This family has been doing this for over 25 years and truly walk the path.
We have worked with many shamans over the years and these folks, not just saying this, but they truly are the BEST we've ever met. They are highly experienced but so humble you'd never even know they were shamans.
In fact, they don't even prefer that term. They often refer to themselves as "musicians."
The medicine or the "tea" as they call it, is the real teacher.
Anyways, we have run 12 retreats since 2020 with this same family and can honestly say that they keep getting better and better.
This one is unique, though, because it will be the most intimate - only 24 guests
That's intentional; smaller groups allow for deeper support and a more connected experience.
Most importantly, this is not something we rush or “sell.” We use an application and screening process, and every accepted applicant has a personal Zoom call with Pattie to make sure this experience feels aligned and supportive.
MORE INFO HERE - www.soulinaretreats.com/
If this resonates, we'd love to see you there in Costa Rica!
Sincerely,
Victor
