We had the good fortune of connecting with Maria Palomino and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Maria, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
I left my corporate job four years ago with no clue what I would do next. All I knew is that I was being called to dive deep into my soul to learn of the person I’ve become in order to discover the TRUE me.
After the 3rd year of deep Soul Searching I had radically become another person that everyday grew more connected to the elements and higher self. I was in touch with what you can call spirit “higher self” leading me on travels to key vortexes around the world.
It was this same pure energy that guided me to start sharing my Self-discovery journey. Because yes…we all have the ability to be guided by spirit.
Given my corporate background which is masculine driven I went to work right away with so many ideas only to be brutally stopped right away. You see…energy speaks to you. First gently guiding you and if you don’t listen it will be stronger with challenging circumstances.
When I was living in Bali launching my Self-Love course, I sprained my right foot not being able to walk for about two weeks. The right side of the body represents the masculine and the foot represents moving forward. The message was to STOP the launch since there were aspect of the corporate world that had yet to DIE WITHIN ME. So I rested with the message and continued cultivating my divine feminine aspects.
A couple years prior, I had received a message loud and clear to stop practicing masculine modalities. That meant quitting the gym and stop teaching kundalini yoga since it it involves too much mind with forceful exercises.
The more I became in touch with my divine FEMININE, the easier and in the most subtle way I entered a world of bliss and dance. All I had to do was hear my inner music as I gently admired the life force energy of air “prana” enter my being.
YES, it can be that simple.
Now, I get it. For me it’s easier since I’ve been doing this for life times and my being with every cell remembers and activates.
The more I harnessed entering being ONE with this inner blissful energy that was dancing within me, I knew that’s what I was meant to teach. Now, I have been to various other teachers who try to teach it and ultimately my inner knowing, the GURU within me has asked me to step out and TEACH IT MY WAY.
And when I say MY WAY…it’s the way Spirit “Highest Self” wants to be expressed.
So yes, I have to get out of my own way meaning my mind has to also step out of the way of how I think things should be done and FLOW with the inner energy dance when I teach because every group is unique with their own signature collective energy.
Short version of how I came up with the idea for my business? I remembered I had made this contract prior to entering this earth to help others awaken to their divinity and be lead by that blissful inner energy. From that remembrance, I announce my ceremonial energy healing sessions and trainings. With the intention to connect with those that feel the resonance to work with me. In the long trainings we usually start remembering how we’ve all worked together before and it’s not our first time coming together to heal and help others heal.
Under my name, MARIA PALOMINO I train inspiring healers the modalities of KA “Kundalini Activation” and IQH “Intuitive Quantum Healing.”
When you train with me, you’re never going to hear me say that one method is better than another or one teacher is better than another. Nor would I ever say that feminine modalities are better than masculine modalities. Every soul has a unique blue print asking for certain modalities at different times to help you awaken to your divinity. No path is better than the other.
What should our readers know about your business?
The mission of my business is to AWAKEN SPIRITUAL GIFTS. It’s important because that’s the gift we’re meant to share to the world that will spark healing, joy and inner wisdom. I reach my mission through various modalities I teach. The one that has become very popular is the KA transmission modality.
KA stands for “KUNDALINI ACTIVATION.” It’s a transmission of HIGH frequency energy that is received by surrendering.
KA is different because it’s a FEMINE Modality of NO MIND. One lies down and SURRENDERS to the electrifying high energy while listening to curated music. Allowing the energy to express itself however it wishes to be expressed. For many it’s a cathartic experience of emotional release and purification. The emotions can vary from crying, laughing, screaming to even having full orgasms. A few experience all emotions in one session. For others it is vivid visual to new heights. Example maybe they only saw yellow and purple when they meditated and now for the first time they see green and orange colors, brining in new sensations to be experienced. Others see sacred geometry, movies of past or future situations for the first time. Some report meeting god. Jesus is very popular along with Mother Mary who come through for them with radiant divine love that breaks their heart where it may have been hard to allow the loving light to come through. The energy is transformative working at a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. It’s a very individual journey that leads to a deeper understanding of existence, life and the self.
All in all what’s happening is HEALING. When we Heal, our energy frequency raises and that’s when our spiritual gifts start awakening.
With my more advance students during trainings, it’s incredible to witness so much Throat Chakra clearing. Maybe it’s rage coming out, some sense of choking or coughing in the first sessions only to start singing unique melodies or even being able to channel LIGHT LANGUAGE for the first time in the later KA transmissions.
The fact that the healing is in REAL TIME is what makes KA different. Traumas and emotional blockages are released in real time during the KA transmission.
What I’m most PROUD of are my students. Seeing them hold loving space for others to taste their own sweet divinity. I get excited seeing them partner up and hold KA events or even launch their first retreats.
What makes me, Maria Palomino different is the fact that this is not my first time being a spiritual teacher. I’ve been doing this for life times. I bring in my own internal wisdom and unique flavor channeling that differs all the time. I’m more shamanic, mystic, witchy yet at the same time Mother Mary is always present along with the Isis and Hathor energies only to name a few. My spiritual travels and trainings with master healers is extensive but my biggest teacher has been my Inner Guru. And this is what I teach.
I have a unique, signature way of EMPOWERING my students to lead from the heart and it’s through their love and kind words that I remember how to be a better teacher.
Has it been easy to become the spiritual teacher I am today?
No, not at all. It has and continues to be an inner journey. Every day I’m broken down more and more to become more HUMBLE. To taste my own divinity and be able to taste everyone’s divinity regardless of whatever experience they may be having in this world because there’s only LOVE. And real love is unconditional which is something we come back life time after life time, after life time trying to master in this human avatar full of emotions. And the more I open my heart, the greater the channel of life force energy I become. Which by the way is not my goal. It’s the gift of the path of becoming LOVE. LOVE doesn’t have a goal. That would be an attachment.
I’ve overcome the challenges by sitting with my darkness / shadow. I always say that all our feelings are like our children. We don’t just give attention and feed the ones that are most cheerful. We give attention to all of them because they are a part of us. When we reject one of our children “feelings”, we are rejecting a part of ourselves causing a split. And this is what I love about KA transmissions. Because it can bring so much insight to what we have been rejecting from ourselves. What fears we may have. What skeletons are hidden in the closet of the deep subconscious and so much more.
I’d like the world to know that the Maria Palomino brand is a Healing Container where one awakens their spiritual gifts by being one with the divine within.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
First thing that comes to mind is the SRF, “Self Realization Fellowship” in Pacific Palisades founded by ascended master, Paramahansa Yogananda. I would be sure to spend much time on the sacred grounds of Lake Shrine.
ITINERARY:
Base would be Manhattan Beach. That’s where I live and LOVE IT!!! It’s a dreamy beach location with a true neighborhood feel. We would wake up watching the surfers on the water welcoming to the first rays of sun light from the end of the pier as the sun appears behind the homes on the small hills.
Grab our bikes and ride north to Redondo Beach along the water and back for a tasty Mexican brunch at Palmilla located in Hermosa Beach pier. Their fresh handmade flour tortillas with honey butter has kept customers coming back for 10+ years. Try it once and you’ll be coming back for more.
In the afternoon we can play some beach volleyball or skate board before having a sunset dinner at the Strand House in Manhattan Beach. One of the few restaurants with a view and American fusion food for all palettes.
Next day if it’s a SUNDAY, attend service at SRF followed by a walk around Lake Shrine where the ashes of Gandhi can be found since Yogananda was a dear friend of Gandhi. From the moment that you walk into the parking lot, the inner peace is palpable automatically transporting you to a zen frequency.
Lunch at Erewhon in Pacific Palisades since it’s such a unique market with high quality products and foods.
From there up a sunset hike with a 360 degree view of Los Angeles from the top of the Los Leones trail. It’s an unforgettable MUST!!!!
Another day we would visit the Los Feliz area, hiking up to the OBSERVATORY for a date with the Cosmos. Lunch would be simple and continue exploring the trails around to include the Hollywood sign. Out in NATURE is so nurturing and expansive.
We would change into our fancy clothes for a classy electric dinner at Asterid in downtown LA before listening to the LA Philharmonic at the Walt Disney Music Hall. It is at this location that I discovered the therapeutic benefits of sound healing way before it was popular over 10+ years ago. The acoustics are first class.
Another day we would visit or stay at is TERRANEA resort in Palos Verdes. The location makes you feel like you’re out in a Mediterranean island. ISOLATION to journey within. Up on the cliff overlooking the vast Pacific Ocean with a SPA overlooking the ocean. I love jumping on one of the stationary bikes out in the open overlooking the ocean and sweat away as I get lost in the deep blues.
Another day we would visit the Iskcon temple in Venice area to chant kirtan to one my favorite mantras, the MAHA Mantra. Iskcon is a hindu temple based on the teaching of the Bhagavad Gita and Hare Krishna. Having seen a whole month in Vrindavan, India which is the center of Hinduism, I love sharing the love of the DEVOTIONAL chants and dance.
Another day let’s go ECSTATIC Dancing in Venice Beach right on the sand by the water. Dancing is liberation and I’ve personally have changed time lines since I trance in so deep.
As you can see, I love it ALL.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My mother and plant medicine. They have both been great teachers and healers.
My mother and I have worked deeply in ourselves to have the wonderful relationship we have now. We are now true best friends.
It’s true what they say. When you start working on yourself, the rest unfolds. When we change our energy, the world around us surprisingly changes. We can’t make anyone do anything. Especially when it comes to facing your shadows and doing intense energy healing work.
So I give a great SHOUTOUT to my mother who dove into the bottomless pit to do her own inner work. Because only when you understand you and learn to love you, can you love others in a much greater unconditional way. What a warrior of LOVE my mom has been and continues to be.
Another great shout out to all the great SHAMANS of the AMAZON. Specially to the Huni Kuin and the Yawanawa for their plant medicine and healing sacred chants.
