Where we were gonna meet on Monday anyway, and I was like, why don't we just do our live together? So I was, uh, lucky to be on her podcast healing through you and, um, so she is interviewed me and now it's my joy and honor to be able to learn more about her and her amazing spiritual gifts.

Valeria Maritza: Thank you so much for having me. I'm very excited. Yeah. 

Kara Goodwin: Coming. Yes. Thanks for coming on. Soul Elevation. Thank you for being patient with me. Um, I was a little bit late and had some [00:02:00] trouble with my microphone and so I'm, I'm like, you know, having my difficulties in trying to figure out the best way for us to create a quality, um, episode.

So if my sound does sound different, um. Thank you for bearing with me. I'm, I'm gonna have to figure out why my microphone wouldn't work, but hopefully it will do. Um, let's start by talking about your journey and what led you to doing spiritual work. I love to know if people are, have kind of always been drawn to spirit or if they went through an awakening process and, and kind of came more out of the blue.

What was it like for you? 

Valeria Maritza: I definitely had an awakening. Um, and it was in the year 2000 and I didn't know it was an awakening 'cause this was not available in the year 2000. So, um, I'll back up a little bit. Um, growing up I always had this [00:03:00] moments that I kind of like frozen in time, that it feels like a memory or a dream, but it's like so vivid and it's like.

Nothing gets lost from it. Like there's no parts of the memory that go away. Um, and one of them was, um, in reference to my cat who passed away like few weeks before we immigrated to the States, and I saw her body. And I know instantly she had passed. You know, like something had happened 

Kara Goodwin: and you saw it in your mind's eye type of thing?

Valeria Maritza: No, I saw her like in the backyard. We had like a huge backyard and like I, we were looking for her. She wasn't coming. So I went and I saw her and I. Instantly. I knew that's her and she's no longer with us. And I didn't feel any grief. I just felt like, oh, okay, like that happened. And she's, I don't know. I don't know what I felt.

I didn't have the vocabulary that I have now to put it together, but I just felt like I need to tell mom. And I went to tell her. And I remember [00:04:00] feeling like, oh, wait a second. Like I need to look a certain way. I need to look like I'm upset or crying. 'cause my cat, I just found a dead cat. And um, and so I made myself like, like cry and told her.

And as I'm doing this, I feel like I don't feel this, like I feel perfectly fine that the cat's gone. Not that I didn't let the cat, it's just that I just had this knowing that she was okay. And I remember this and it's like ingrained in my mind like, wow, like, like that happened and why did I do that? Why did I feel like I needed to be someone else or play the part of someone who was grieving when I saw this?

And so that was like weird. Then I had something similar with my, uh, grandma who passed and. And things like that. I, I saw once, um, I actually saw a spirit. Like I saw the whole figure, uh, and it was like a shorter kind of stout figure. And we were already in the States and I thought, oh, I know that's a, [00:05:00] a spirit.

I know someone crossed, I don't know who it is. Why are they showing themselves up to me? And I started thinking, and this is a very interesting part, because when we start thinking with our mind, instead of feeling, we immediately disconnect from whatever. That we're receiving, started thinking, well, who looks like this?

Right. And I couldn't think of anyone, so I was like, maybe my grandpa, he was kind of like shorter and kind of stout. And then I was like, okay, it had to have been him and I'm waiting for the news to arrive and they didn't arrive. And then finally my father spoke to his dad and he was fine. And I was like, oh.

It wasn't him. Okay. And then two more weeks went by and my mother received this letter from a friend letting her know that one of her friends had passed and it was her. And as soon as she told me, I was like, oh yeah, that's the, that's, that was the body that, that's the figure I saw. So I had this interest in the, you know.

Mediumship or spirits, and [00:06:00] I like crossing over like that. I had this interest since I was little, but it was just a thing, you know? It was, it wasn't anything that I thought was special or, or anything like that. And then in the year 1999, my mom crossed over and then I had a huge experience and I don't remember if.

Right after, or if it was the year 2000, um, where I entered this church and she had, you know, I was like really depressed that she had crossed and I sat down and I heard her speak to me and it was, we had this telepathic conversation. This is what I call my awakening. Uh, 'cause it was so clear as you're speaking to me and I, we had like this whole conversation, like tears of tears are coming down my face and I'm feeling like, wow.

And I didn't, I had my eyes closed and I didn't wanna open the eyes because I thought if I open my eyes, it's gonna go away. So I just remained there. And then finally, you know, the conversation stopped and she had given me [00:07:00] messages from my siblings who were really not into this. Type of belief? Uh, kind of like more against it because we were raised Catholic.

And so that's supposed to be like not of a good place when you hear or or communicate with someone who's crossed over. So I came home and I told them the message that mom had given and they were kind of mad you talking to me about this. And I was like, well, you know, mom gave me the message. I'm giving it to you.

Like whatever, like you deal with it and. From that point on, I started really being more interested in like anything metaphysical, right? So I started like trying yoga or or Tai chi or meditating. And every time I would do it, I would feel like, oh, maybe this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Because I didn't know what I was supposed to, but I felt like there was something else.

And then I would be like, maybe this is what I need to do. And then I would have immediately like another thought, like, no, like you don't wanna do that because, and whatever reason came to me. But I [00:08:00] kept searching and I started like looking into books. Uh. Like the secret, you know, when, when that came out and, um, what other guy's name who just passed, I forgot his name.

Anyway, all kind of like teachers and, and, and people who were talking about this stuff. And I went to a lot of psychics. Mediums 'cause I wanted more connection with my mom. I wanted that to happen again. Like I didn't look for it. It happened. And then I was like, well, how do I make that happen again? And nobody that I saw told me anything like, oh, you have a gift.

Like, that didn't happen for me. I know it has happened for other people, but you know, I would communicate and I would get messages and I was so intrigued and I just loved it. Um, and. I had a lot of events in my life since then until 2020, so 20 years where I was [00:09:00] experiencing things and I was very into things, but I didn't pay it any attention as if it was something that I could do.

Or something that, you know, because like, well if I can't do it, then why would I think that that's something I want to do? Right. I was just really interested, but I had a lot, a lot of, lot of messages and coincidences and, um, synchronicities and a lot of things happening for me where I would. Experience it and know it.

'cause my gift is of, of a knowing. 

Kara Goodwin: Mm-hmm. 

Valeria Maritza: And then not pay attention to it, or not listen to it. And things would not go well for me. And this was just like my life. Right. It's just how I'm going through. And I remember that. It was about 20 17, 20 18. I was a teacher. I was teaching art from K through eighth, and I was feeling really [00:10:00] like unfulfilled.

And I love art and I love the kids, and I was a really good teacher and I was like. There's something missing. I don't feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, and I had the husband and the house and my child and the career, all the things that you are supposed to have, and I started feeling more and more empty.

Like something else is missing. Something is missing. And I started wanting to leave and I didn't know what to do. So I'm sure a lot of people might be feeling this way, like, what do I do? I know this is knit, but what do I do? So I was like, maybe I'll start looking for like a job to do from home or like what could I do with the skills that I have?

And I was looking and pondering then. COVID showed up and then we all found ourselves working from home. And I was like, wow. Like did I manifest that right because I wanted work from home? I was like thinking, right? I was like trying to make [00:11:00] something out of it, but I was like, wow, this is what it's like to work from home.

And I liked it. Um, but I didn't like teaching art through this. Screen because, um, especially the older kids, like it was a screen of like black screens. Nobody wanted to turn it on. It was a very awkward time, and I would show up with all my energy and just teach to the black screens. I was like, well, if they're here or they're not, I'm just going to make believe that they're here and they're listening to me, and I'm just going to do the same thing I do in the classroom because I don't know what else to do.

Right. Where I had a lot of colleagues who would get stuck in that and be like, turn the thing on and I'm not gonna, and like they would just like. Completely get thrown off what they were supposed to be teaching because they were upset or bothered that they couldn't see anyone, right? Because there was no connection.

And I was like, I'm just gonna believe and make, make believe that they're here and I'm just gonna teach them. And I'll even ask questions [00:12:00] like, does that make sense? Or like, are you, uh, do you have any questions? And it'd be like, silent, right? 

Kara Goodwin: Mm-hmm. 

Valeria Maritza: And, and then I remember thinking, oh, this is preparing me for my next level of what I'm doing.

I just knew this. I knew that this job in this moment, teaching through Zoom, teaching through like the black screens was going to, was preparing me for something that was coming. I didn't know what that was, but I had that knowing that dropped in and I was like, wow. Well how exciting is it that I'm getting paid to prepare for my next level of whatever it is that I'm doing while I'm doing my job?

And you know, and I just had that type of. Understanding or belief. And I did the thing. And then while I started doing the thing, I also started working with my mentor and she was a breath work mentor and she thought, 'cause she was also going through her own stuff, that that's what she was [00:13:00] teaching. But through that breath work and whatever program she had, I started connecting and remembering who I was.

I started feeling like. You mean those things that I did those, knowing those were a thing. Like that's a thing. That's something that's not just. You know, random stuff. I started putting it all together and I still had a lot of disbelief that I have anything special or any, I mean, I still don't believe it as being special because I believe that we all have this, but I didn't think that it was anything that I.

I could do anything with. You 

Kara Goodwin: had access too. Yes. Right? Yeah. Yeah. 

Valeria Maritza: So I'm in this group. I was in a group with like several other women who were doing this program and we would share a little bit, and I remember saying something like, yeah, I don't know if I can, something like that. And then one of the other students.

Chimed in and she's like, Valeria, we all know what you can do. Just go ahead and do it. [00:14:00] Ooh, it wasn't my mentor, it was another person who was watching me. Just have that self-doubt and self-doubt and self-doubt, and it was like, whoa, uh, okay. Right? Like what? So then what do I do? So then. My mentor said, well, why don't you put out, uh, on a, one of the, these spiritual groups a, a post that you know you'll do some free, uh, sessions.

In exchange for a testimonial so that you see, and I was like, okay. So I did it right. So I took action and I did that and my calendar filled up and I was still working full time. Um, I was still have taking care of my child. I had all the things I was ex exhausted. I had no time for, I thought for anything else.

And yet I was scheduling these things like 9:00 PM at night because my day was filled. And I found that I had all this new energy [00:15:00] because I was excited about what was about to happen. Wow. So I started doing these sessions and I remember this was like around Thanksgiving through Christmas. That was the month that, you know, that's when this happened for me.

And almost every night I had a session. I also had something on Saturdays and. People had this really great feedback like, wow, like that happened, or I felt this, or whatever. Right? And then that's when I started believing. And then I was like, oh, so this is a thing. Oh, so I can do something. But it, it took strangers.

It took strangers to give me their time and their trust for me to practice on them and then give me the feedback that, yeah, they felt something different. They saw something different that whatever. It was for me to trust in me because prior to that, I had done certain things with [00:16:00] some people that I knew and I would do it.

I'll give you an example so it's not so just like out there. Like I remember I was like, it was Saturday evening and a friend of mine calls me from a different state and they're like, oh, I have this headache. Can you do something about it? And I was like, sure. And I just put my hand on my head. It was like right here.

I'm in the car like I was parked. Um. And I don't know why I put it there. And then I started feeling this headache and I, and I said, is it on the right side? And, and he said, yes. I started feeling this headache within me and then I started. Instinctively just sending it out of my body. Like, like from my head, I was like seeing it go out, like out of the bottom of my feet and I'm doing this for a few seconds.

It wasn't minutes. And then I started feeling it feel better. And then he goes on the other side of the phone, oh great, thank you. Like, it it, and I was like, what? Like that actually happened. I don't know [00:17:00] why he called to ask. I don't know why I said yes. I don't know why I put my hand there. It's, it was all like, things happening like, sure, like I'm open to this.

And then it happened and, and then he hung up and then I said to myself, he just said that, 'cause he's a friend of mine, he's just playing. Right. So like, it's like stuff like that that I. It was just so out there and so incredible. And it also, for me, it felt like I was doing nothing. Like it didn't feel like I was actually doing anything.

So how could it work? Right, 

Kara Goodwin: right. So when you were, there are a couple things I wanna clarify. Yeah. A bit more info about with what you shared because one, one is, um. The type of work that you were doing with these people, because I know you have a lot of skills, so you've got the heal healing skills that you've shared.

You mentioned about just the knowing that you have and you know that that, uh, so like more of kind of psychic things you've [00:18:00] mentioned about the spirit connection. So there's mediumship. So I'd love to know kind of where that began and where, what it evolved into. And then I love what you talk about with, um, teaching to the, the black screens and just kind of trusting and how that was helping you to hone your skills.

How did, did you then, in retrospect later, go back and be like, okay, this is how that was ap. Like how that applies to what you were doing in the future? 

Valeria Maritza: Yeah. So a lot of questions there. Where do I start? 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah, start with the, um, like just tell us more about the skills that were emerging as you were doing those sessions.

Valeria Maritza: Okay. So. I thought that my skill was to help be able to help people remove physical pain from their body, which is a big thing, right? 

Kara Goodwin: Mm-hmm. 

Valeria Maritza: And I thought, that's my skill. I had no thought that I could be [00:19:00] psychic or spirit or me, all of those things, even though there was, that had happened. That was not where I was putting my attention.

I was putting my attention on this because of, uh, experiences like this phone call that I had, right? And so I thought that's what I could do. And I remember telling my mentor about it and she said, Valeria, she goes. You believe, and this is for anyone who's out there thinking that they can do something.

She goes, if you believe, if you have this feeling that you can help people remove pain, physical pain from their bodies, then that's is true for you. Because she goes, I don't have that feeling. I have, I, I've never thought, oh, I can do that for someone. She's like. I have different things that are coming for me that's coming up for you.

So that's what you can do. So she was reinforcing that one thing that I thought I could do. So that's where I was going into, and that's what I asked people to help me with when I said I wanna practice. Right. But while I was [00:20:00] practicing, um, I had an experience where, uh, it was a Saturday morning and, um.

This lady had some back pain and I'm working on it. And then right about when I'm about to, you know, do my thing, I this helicopter this ice to come and hover over my house and it felt like it was right on top of my house. And I'm like, okay, let just wait for it to go. Right. And it's not going, and then I'm like, okay, hold on a second.

And now I'm getting distracted like, what is, what's, what's going on? What's going, why is there a helicopter outside? Why isn't it leaving? Then I'm like, it's messing me up. I can't concentrate. I had all these things coming in and through all of those thoughts, I had one thought and the thought was, I wonder if this is a message.

And so then I asked her, I said, Hey. Would you be open to something different if it's coming through? And she said, sure. And I said, do you have anyone who's crossed [00:21:00] over who was like in the military? And I said, military. 'cause it just felt like a military helicopter. I don't know. I didn't even look outside.

Right? And she says, yes, my father. And as soon as she said that, the helicopter left. 

Kara Goodwin: Oh my gosh, I was so many chills. Yes. Wow. 

Valeria Maritza: So that's how I started opening up two different things, because here I am, you know, face to face with this person. Like, you know, I'm working on relieving physical pain, which is what I think I can do.

And then I get this message right and then, then I start getting like things to tell her. Right. Like a message for her. And I'm like, oh, okay. So then we'll finish that. I'm like. So I'm a medium, like I can do that too. Right? Right. So it was kind of like that. And a lot of the things that I'm able to do have been that way.

That is like something happens that I'm not expecting. I'm just kind of like playing with it. And then [00:22:00] at some point I get this knowing or this feeling like, I don't know, let it go or go with it. And I allow it to go through. Then a new gift is like emerged or shown to me, and then I can lean more into that.

So that's kind of like how I've, I've opened up and I opened up very quickly with a lot of different things because of the way that I have been very trusting. 

Kara Goodwin: Mm-hmm. 

Valeria Maritza: Um, I, you know, you mentioned like, I, I, I work with the Angels and I've always been Angels girls because I just love the angels. Um, and.

I've always put this, uh, kind of like intention that I'm only communicating with frequencies of love and light. I'm only communicating or allowing in frequencies of like the highest good. So I, I do this before a session, so when something comes in, I'm, I'm trusting that it, 

Kara Goodwin: yeah, you're more relaxed. You don't feel like you've [00:23:00] gotta be, have your guard up and yeah, I'm sure that allows a lot more to come through.

Valeria Maritza: Right. And then also the trusting like, okay, well let me say this thing that I'm thinking, right? Like, why would, why would I say military? Right? Like, 

Kara Goodwin: right, 

Valeria Maritza: like that's a big word. 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. 

Valeria Maritza: So, so that's kinda like how my gifts have opened up. And then I. Play with them and I would try them. Uh, and then of, I was already working with some clients, so I would say, Hey, I'm trying this new thing.

Do you wanna try it out? And um, they would say yes. And then I would get feedback again. So like, that's kind of like how I've evolved, um, on that. And what was the other question? You had 

Kara Goodwin: the zoom part. 

Valeria Maritza: Oh. So, yeah, so when I first started, um, well, lemme just back up a little for anyone who's like thinking of doing their own thing with their own gifts that are coming up, um, so my calendar was like full, I did like 30 different, you know, free sessions.

And [00:24:00] everybody was like raving about it, right? Like that's how you felt. And then my mentor said, you have to now you can start a business if you want. You can start charging. And then I had to go through a whole thing with that. I was like, okay. So then I put out, you know, same place like this is what I'm charging for sessions.

And then it was. Crickets, right? Oh, it's like nobody wanted, nobody came and it was months, like at least three months, right? And I'm like, what's happening? Right? Like, like, didn't they say that it was good, but like, what? What's going on? Um. So my mentor said, you know, go and do lives. So when you do a live, like on Facebook Live, or if you know, or like a short, you are talking to yourself, right?

You're seeing yourself Uhhuh and you're talking to an audience that you don't know if they're there or not. And even if you, if I did a Facebook Live, um, when I first started, I would like go on and it would show like [00:25:00] zero viewers, right? Like no one's watching you. Right. And then so you're watching this and then you're, you're, you're doing whatever message you're saying you're, you're teaching whatever.

And you're seeing no one's watching this. And then that's when I was like, ha, that's, that's what I was preparing for. I was preparing for this. I was preparing for this part, which is very difficult to go out and start saying thing and then like, oh, there's nobody watching me. What am I doing? Um, like, what is it for?

But then you're trusting that this is the path. You're trusting that the message is getting through somehow, somewhere, you know, even if it's. Within my own space because I'm speaking it out, right? I am getting it out of me. And so my own energy feel, and, and by the way, I did not know this. I did not have this information when I started in 2020.

Okay. I just wanna be clear, like I have the vocabulary and the knowing now, but back then I was just trusting. 

Kara Goodwin: [00:26:00] Yes. I love that. And you know, it, things live on the internet like forever, once they're out there. And I wonder, you know, 'cause of course I'm putting content out there too. And, and there are some things that are lesser viewed and, and there are some things that get traction later.

Like, it might not get traction right away, but then it's like, I had an interview that I just noticed the other day. I'm like, God, this, this interview did nothing when I first put it out. Now it's got like thousands, thousands, and people keep, and I, I had even kind of forgotten about it. It wasn't like a.

Anyway, it just, it's a dark horse, right? Where I'm just like, well, who knew that that one was gonna take off? And, uh, it wasn't anything that I did, you know? 'cause I kind of put it out, it didn't do anything. And I, I just keep going 'cause I am, you know, just have a lot of content. But I feel that because more and more people are awakening and I think that we, [00:27:00] that, that will keep happening in, especially in the next.

Two years and five years and you know, but I think there will be more waves and waves. This has been prophesized. It's been predicted though also. So it's been prophesized like we're talking, you know, lineages and, and epoch of time where they knew that this time was gonna be a shift in consciousness. But also people who are.

You know, modern people who are tapping in, who are, are more like in the, in the details where you talk about, you've talked a lot about 2020, and as we've been talking and there were a lot of people who. So for me personally, like I started, my Awakening Journey kind of started in 20 16, 20 17. That sort of time, 2019, I started hearing people talking a lot about 2020.

And it was like, what's gonna happen in 2020? And some people thought it was gonna be great, you know, it was gonna be this amazing thing, but it was gonna be different. Like there people [00:28:00] knew going into 2020 it was gonna be a big year. And so as we were in it. It felt so weird and we're like, what is happening?

And for some people it was great. For some people it was terrible. Um, but that was like one shift. And then there have been other pe you know, then, you know, the information kind of keeps coming out where it's like, okay, then 2025, like, so we had 2020, then 2025 is gonna be a big one. 2026 gonna, is gonna be a big 1, 20, 27.

So like kind of more at that granular level, people are seeing more and more. So I bring that up because. Content lives forever on the internet. And so as more and more people are like, wait a minute, my life just turned upside. Like my whole understanding of how reality is just turned upside down. I feel that there will just be more like waves and waves of people who need support.

Yes. And there will be content that's been living on the internet for years, but it applies to them and they [00:29:00] find it when they need it. So that was kind of what came up when you were talking about that. But there's also the, um, the part I wondered if you were gonna take it when you were talking about the Zoom and that you were just trusting and you weren't getting feedback, but you were just kind of.

Navigating it in the moment as you taught, if that would apply to how you receive messages and give messages because you're not getting the physical feedback. 

Valeria Maritza: Mm-hmm. 

Kara Goodwin: Did that play, do you know what I mean? Did that play into it at all? When you're try, when you're, when you're communicating more with the subtle energies?

I don't know. 

Valeria Maritza: Yeah. I never. Pondered upon that. So it really does feel like, uh, like it resonates, like that's part of it that I hadn't even like put together. So, I mean, we're always, always learning more and growing more into our own awareness. And so yeah, it does feel like, um. [00:30:00] That had to have been part of it, you know, like there's nothing here.

I got no feedback, but I'm still feeling into the space and, and, and delivering to whomever's there or not. 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. Yeah. 

Valeria Maritza: Um, yeah. And I feel a lot like when I do have sessions with people like. I receive a message and sometimes the person is like, Nope, that doesn't resonate. I have no idea or whatever, and I'm receiving like, Nope, that's what it is.

That's what it is. And I'm like, okay. Like what do I do with this? Right? And so. A lot of people who get to that place might be thrown off like, oh no, I'm disconnected. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not good enough. What could I do? Right? And then as soon as you start thinking, you do disconnect, and then nothing comes through.

But for me it's more of like, okay, I'm trusting that what I'm receiving is, and that. [00:31:00] This person is not making the connection yet, or is maybe I'm seeing it at like a little bit further down the line than right now, but just trusting it and then that allows me to keep going with the session and, and continue to move.

And then also reassuring the person that, you know, okay, it's, it's fine. You know, maybe it'll show up later on. And I have had people. Message me or email me like later and sometimes even months later telling me, oh, that thing that happened in our session like that happened, but it hadn't happened until like way later.

Kara Goodwin: Mm-hmm. 

Valeria Maritza: Um, and then after that also they had to like put it together and remember, and then one to. To message me. Right? Like all 

Kara Goodwin: those things 

Valeria Maritza: have to go through 

Kara Goodwin: Right. 

Valeria Maritza: Uh, to lemme 

know. 

Kara Goodwin: I love that. Yes. And I love that you're bringing up to you. This is the second time you've brought up the mental, like how our mind gets in the way.

And I think that's so important for people to really hear and to really understand because we live in such a, an intellectual [00:32:00] society. Even if you don't feel like you're intellectual. Per se, like maybe you wouldn't call yourself intellectual, but our minds are so prized and our thoughts are so prized, and we're so connected with ourselves as thinkers, you know?

Mm-hmm. I think they, therefore I am. That's what makes me a person, you know, as kind of like there's a whole philosophy that starts with that. I think therefore I am, but. When you wanna develop these skills or tune in more to your own, uh, intuition, the importance of releasing that and it takes. Diligence and it takes practice and it takes trust and all these things that you're talking about, but it's so important.

So I love that you keep bringing that up of like, we can stop the flow. Like we can just take ourselves, we, you can be in the flow and then start thinking about it and get right out of it. 

Valeria Maritza: Yeah. It's 

Kara Goodwin: like magic. 

Valeria Maritza: And I'll tell you the, the story, um, of my very first person who willingly said, okay, I'll come here to see [00:33:00] what you can do in order, you know.

When I started practicing my very first person, I was all in my head and I was so worried and so nervous, and so like, can I actually do this? Right? And so she comes on and she had like back pain as well. A lot of people would piping and I went in my head. I got so nervous and I started thinking, okay, what am I supposed to do?

Wait, what did that person do? What did that person teach me? What did I read in the book? What did, so I, my mind started going into like everybody else except for me, right? What can I do? I started going to like, what did they say to do? How did they do it? What did that book say? Right? Like all the things, the wisdom that I was learning, and I was just going back out like, what did the teachers tell me to do?

Thinking and it was a terrible session. Completely flopped. She felt nothing. She was like, I don't even know why I'm here. Not like that. And she was very nice. But [00:34:00] 

Kara Goodwin: yeah, 

Valeria Maritza: but it was like that. It was terrifying. And I was like, oh, what just happened? And that was scary enough. Terrifying. To stop anyone and be like, okay, yeah, I can't do this.

I don't know what my mentor is telling me. I don't know what the girl's saying. Um, I can't do this because like, I mean, evidence, right? She felt nothing. But my calendar was already filled. I had 28 other people on my calendar the next day and the next day and the next day, and I was like. How do I cancel them all because I'm terrible at this.

How? Right. So I couldn't do that, and so I had to show up for myself the next day. So the next day I. I was like, okay. And then this is when I gave it to my guide. So I, I, I work with the beams of lights, which is, I feel I see through here and not with my, my regular human eyes. This [00:35:00] beams of, of, uh, violet light standing like behind me.

Like, these are the beams of light for me, and I gave it to them. So after I did my whole prayer of like, you know, for the highest intention of everyone only allowing the highest frequencies to come in. I said to my guys, honey, if I mess up, you take over. I was like, if I mess up again, you take over and you work through me because I want this person to have a good experience.

So that was the heart. Right now, I'm no longer thinking, am I doing this? Now I'm feeling I want that person to have some relief, right? Mm-hmm. And that doing that and giving it to that, and allowing myself to just go with the flow of the trusting, then that person had a great experience. You know, she gave me the feedback and then I was like, oh, wow, like this is actually happening.

So I wanted to to share [00:36:00] that because we go through ups and downs and the whole judging ourselves and questioning ourselves. Always comes up because of the conditioning. Right. As a child, you don't know anything your parents tell you, and then the teacher tells you, and then your boss tells you. And it's every, there's always someone outside of you telling you if you're good enough, right?

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. 

Valeria Maritza: Like I remember going, um, I work for, for, um, for a flower shop, uh, at one point and. Uh, I was getting paid by the hour, right? So like long time ago it was like a, like, I think I was making out, no, like, let's say a dollar an hour. Probably not. But anyway, just say that and. I was up for my review, a year review, and they're like, you know, according to your performance, you can get 25 cents or 50 cents or 25 cents or a, or a or a dollar grace.

And I was like, okay. So I go in there and I had the, the manager and the assistant manager and they tell me are using [00:37:00] things about me raging, right? Like, everything's great, you know, you're always on time. All the things. And I was like, great, right? Like I have that dollar in the bank. And then they go, we're gonna give you 75 cents.

And I was like. What, like what you're saying about me doesn't match what you're giving me. Right? Like I understood how the rules worked and I asked them, I'm like, well, what was I supposed to do in order to get that? And then to make a long story short, they had no answer. And they had no answer because this is, this is a chain.

Um. Flower shop. Right. It wasn't like a chop like that. And they had to follow what they were being given. So they were like saying, you can on, you cannot do that. You can only give up to this much. And they had to follow those rules. It had nothing to do with me, had nothing to do with them or my performance.

Um, but that's all they could do. 'cause they were also following somebody else's rules. Right. And that right there. [00:38:00] Completely changed my thinking of like, oh, it's not that I'm not good enough to get the top. It's that this is a game. This is a thing that people are playing and that's what it is. And from that point on, I started, I don't know why I went into this way and this all tangent.

From that point on, I started feeling like things aren't what they're me, what they're telling me they are. 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. Yeah. I love that. Well, tell us more about the Council of Nine. I think people, and I know I am like, how, so how did they show up and how did you, like, what do you know about them? Where are they from?

Are they connected to the angelic realm? Like what can you 

Valeria Maritza: share? I'm so happy that you asked me about the counselor. I have not connected to the counselor in a while. The counselor of nine came to me just like that. Like, like, oh, you're now connected to the council of nine. Never heard of the council.

Never heard of that term. I just [00:39:00] said it right. This is from the Council of nine. I started giving the message and. And then I just went with it. And also, this is part of, of who I am, that my trust is just a trust that I don't need to know how it works. I don't need to know where it comes from. I, I'm skeptical, right?

I mean, this is why it took me forever to actually believe in what I could do, but it's like, oh wow, like that's sweet is okay. And that's the message. Fabulous. Wow. I don't need to know the, the feeling, the answers, which a lot of other people do. I feel that my not needing to know and just trusting is what opens me up to receiving more from different places.

So I just put it out there and I felt that they were just as good. Just to put it into human words as the, the beings of light as the angels, right. I, I [00:40:00] see the angels as, angels, like bright light beings with wings flying, you know, doing things. And also being able to touch other humans because, um, because angels have been written about and drone all around, so they're more accepted than.

Saying The beings of light, or the Council of nine, or you know, ETS or whatever else, right? It's like more accepted as a good thing. So I feel that they get closer to us or we allow them to get closer because we believe in them already. We have some type of reference. Council of nine, I have no idea. I'm gonna tell you the story because I put it out there and whatever.

My son was at the time, going to a Catholic school and the person who was in charge didn't mind what I was doing. Like I was like, you know, this is what I do. I never brought it into the school. Right? But then they changed. They changed heads, and then the new people came and then they went and they [00:41:00] saw.

What I was doing. And they were like, oh, that's, that has to be evil, right? I mean, it's Catholic church, obviously, you know? 

Kara Goodwin: Mm-hmm. 

Valeria Maritza: So they called me in if I could go into, you know, to meet with them. And I was like, sure. And I had no idea what it was about, you know? I just went, and when I got there, there were like three people in this office, right.

And I'm like, what's going on? Right. And they were like, oh, we've been going through your website and we read everything, and who's this council of nine? Isn't that like from the devil? And I was like, what? 

Kara Goodwin: Oh my word. 

Valeria Maritza: So I'm making the story short, but it was like an hour thing and I felt. In that moment, I'm like, oh, this is a modern day witch hunt this.

That's what it felt like, right? Like, wow. But I had gone in there with so much love in my heart [00:42:00] and so much knowing like, this is who I am, this is what I do that. Had that happened, maybe a year prior, I would've been in tears crying like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I'm so evil out. But at this place I only had love and light to talk about.

So anything they said, I would just answer. Like I would answer Anyone asking me here, right with love, with light, like, and I could see that they were getting frustrated and upset because. They weren't, it's like they weren't getting through me. Um, because they weren't, because mm-hmm. They had one belief and I had another.

Right. And anyway, they brought the council of nine there. In that moment and they put this negative connotation to it. Then I came home, I started looking it up, right? Like, who? Who are this ghost? Right? Like you asked me who is it? And you [00:43:00] can find different texts, right? So you have the church who does talk about it being as not a good thing, and then you have all the holistic people talking about it as like higher beings of love and light and kind of like.

It. What it feels like to me that it is now is kind of like higher beans like ets who are like out there in space, like kind of like, I dunno, like a council of of beans from different species, from different timelines somewhere there who are working together to maintain the, the flow and the harmony of the universe.

That's what it feels like to me that they are, but I brought this story and I share this story because. Even me, with all the work that I've done with me being able to talk to them in love and light, it still left this residue of like, oh, maybe I shouldn't connect with the Council of nine, and, and I feel like.

Do I [00:44:00] wanna, well, I don't really need to, I have other, other beans that I, I connect with and it's kind of like there. So I'm glad that you brought it up because it feels like it's something that I needed to, um, to share and to talk about because that witch hunt that, um, judgment of like, you're doing something bad or evil.

Will always come up for anyone who's waking up, anyone who's feeling these things with the people around, right? Something is going to come because they are not the ones receiving the message. They're not the ones feeling the energy. And it's something so abstract that like all they have is the text and the, and the, and the conditioning that they have been given.

And so the first thing that always arises is fear. Right. And so that's, that's the connection of like, of, of the pushing back, of like trying to make it the other person be crazy or, or whatever, [00:45:00] right? It comes from a place of fear, but those who are connecting, those who are receiving the message are the ones who are feeling and remembering that they are one, like one with God, one with the divine.

And once you have that, it's like. You, you just remember, and then you have that love and compassion for others who aren't because you realize that you were there too. You were there before. Yeah. You know, 

Kara Goodwin: see, I love this because I, I feel like it's, it's like trying to describe your dream to somebody else.

You know, where you, it's like you can do the best that you can. But you're never it. Our dreams are so abstract. They're so, you know, it's like one minute, like last night I was a bus driver and I had been already driving this bus, and then suddenly I was like, wait, how do I know where to go? And then I noticed that I've been following this GPS that tells me when to stop and what the [00:46:00] path is and all of this, the whole, it'd been there the whole time and it was like, that had not been part of the dream so far.

But once I. Wondered how I was supposed to know when to stop. Then it was like, well, you follow this thing, and it was like, okay, I guess I've been doing this the whole time, even though it hasn't been part of my dream, but like trying to convey the weirdness of a dream. You could spend an hour trying to get all the details right, because anything could happen and it's limitless.

You can only take somebody so far into your dream, you know, you can only take it so far. And so it's so similar with what you're talking about, whether we're talking about beliefs, whether we're talking about psychic experiences or messages or past life memories or, or medium messages from the other side where it's like we can only convey, you know, your, your, uh.

Connecting through these subtle realms, and you're getting [00:47:00] this information in very subtle ways beyond the five senses. And so to be able to convey that with the five senses, like when we're engaging in this physical world, we have to use the five senses. That's how we communicate. We've gotta use our words, we've gotta use our, you know, if I know you do pain or you do your mandalas like.

Um, but we've got sight, we've got sound, we've got touch, taste, and smell, you know, but that's kind of it. And if you can't, like, and this is beyond that, so then trying to like box it into the five senses, especially to somebody who doesn't wanna meet you halfway and who is. Ultra suspicious of things and, and very rigid in terms of like, okay, well everything I've ever been told says that that's evil, you know, or whatever.

You know, that makes it very difficult. So I think, you know what? I love a lot of things. I love a lot of things about what you're saying, but [00:48:00] one of the things is just that, you know. People are gonna bump up against this, you're gonna bump up against it, whether it's your family, whether it's the school, whether it's whatever.

And it's so important that we keep trusting ourselves and that we keep trusting our path. And if you're being intentional about connecting with the highest beings and doing things out of benevolence and for the highest good, that's, that is. Your protection. That is how you can stand firm in what you're doing.

Even when you come up against like, okay, I'm not, not only am I not being supported. But they like think it's the opposite of what I'm intending to do. You know, it's not easy territory to get into, so thank you for sharing that. I think it's really powerful. 

Valeria Maritza: Yeah. I mean, I, I always like sharing both sides because mm-hmm.

People, whenever they see someone speaking or connecting, we [00:49:00] tend to put people up there like, oh, they're better. Right? I did that. Right. They're better than me. They can do it. I can't. Right. Giving this information and sharing that, hey, I went through that as well, makes me more human, makes me more like, Hey, I, I'm just like you.

I'm, yeah, I'm just like you. I'm just allowing and connecting and working on this. So it gives you permission to open up and trust and belief in whatever it is that you are going through. Yeah. 

Kara Goodwin: I love that. That's so beautiful. Well, Valeria, this has just been amazing. I've loved hearing your story and all of the inspiration.

Tell people how they can find out more about you and work with you. 

Valeria Maritza: I have a podcast, it's called Healing Through You on YouTube, and also an app on Spotify. Uh, and my website is healing through you as well. So, and I have a Facebook group, a private Facebook group. So if you feel I have, I mean, I have a regular Facebook group, but I have a private one and.

If you feel that you wanna [00:50:00] talk to someone or you like, want to know more or share some experience in a place that is more private, that's what the Facebook group is for, because people can go there and, and share and be more like, okay, this is what I'm into without other people seeing you. Um, so that's why I created that.

And I, I created it for myself, obviously, when I first started, because I was like, you know, I don't want 

anyone 

Kara Goodwin: else to know what I'm doing, 

Valeria Maritza: right? Because it's so scary. 

Kara Goodwin: And then what kind of services, 'cause we've talked about a lot of different, uh, modalities that you have. So what ha, what in what kind of ways do you work with people?

Valeria Maritza: Um, thank you for asking that. Um. I work with people one-on-one mostly, and I do have some groups. And what I do is I help people reconnect with themselves and remember who they are. So basically, uh, like I can do one-on-one sessions and, and give you like a, a reading or a healing session or anything like that as well.

But my passion is in. Empowering you, empowering [00:51:00] other people to remember who they are so that they can come into their own awareness of like, oh, this is what I can do, and then they don't need me. Right? Because, um, my belief is like, the more people that wake up, the more people that are aware of like, oh, this is real for me as well.

Um, then they can go ahead and become the light within their community, within their circle of, of people that I will never reach. And that's the way that we keep on. Passing that torch. That's how I feel. So that, that's, that's my, my main thing too, that I love to do is helping people remember who they are and remember their own, um, spiritual gifts.

Kara Goodwin: That's beautiful. Well, thank you so much, Valeria, for being here. I really loved connecting with you today. Thanks for coming on. Soul Elevation.
