Kansas City
Energy Healing
Alejandra Villalobos-McAnderson
There is Energy flowing through us all the time. It is the Life Force that propels us, connecting us to the land and to each other. Sometimes that energy gets stuck or depleted – affected by negative thoughts or experiences. Energy Medicine releases the blocks that are keeping you from your truest self, allowing your own energetic power to flow throughout your body to allow you to heal and thrive.

A Four Day Liquid Fast.
A Ceremony of Intention.
Monday until the Full Moon on Thursday.
This is not about losing weight.
This is not about starving yourself.
This is a moment of intention.
A deep connection.
An awareness.
Make sure you slow down.
Make sure you listen.
Make sure you let everything come up — and let it move through you.
That is how we release the noise.
That is how we hear what the soul needs.
That is how we return to ourselves.
We are building a life of intention, one Ceremony at a time. 🌕
A Messenger came to our door.🧡
My mother-in-law woke up and found a little relative waiting for her — a Possum, who had crossed over right there on the front step.
Most would sweep it away. Throw it in the trash. Call it an accident.
But nothing dies at your door by accident. Because when something dies at your doorstep, I believe we have to pause. To listen. To pay attention. To ask, Why here? Why now? What is this trying to show us? And I knew — this was not random. This was a message.
So I asked them to look into possum medicine and what this animal represents. One of the teachings that stood out was mind over matter—and the reminder that things are not always what they appear to be.
Possums have such a bad reputation. They’re often seen as dirty, aggressive, vermin, or something to be feared. But they’re actually incredibly docile creatures. They’re generally non-aggressive, prefer to avoid confrontation, and have very few defenses. When threatened, one of their greatest forms of protection is simply to play dead.
This little relative that so many people might overlook, fear, or intentionally harm became a beautiful reminder: trust yourself. Look beyond the surface. There is more happening than what you can see.
So if a Messenger died delivering us a message of peace, of love, of trusting ourselves — we had to lay it to rest with honor.
We laid it to rest in the backyard with prayer. We thanked it for its mission, its message, its purpose. We set its spirit free and placed some of Daddy Do’s flowers alongside it as an offering of love and gratitude.
Sometimes the signs we ask for don’t arrive in the way we expect.
Sometimes we receive the sign…and then we ignore it.
But if you’ve been asking for a message, for confirmation, for a sign—I want you to know:
You are heard.
The message will come.
The question is, will you be present & open enough to receive it?
✨ What signs or messages have you received lately?
And did you recognize them when they arrived?✨
Last weekend, I had the honor of teaching a class at YLP’s Breaking the Stigma Wellness Fair, and it was such a beautiful reminder of why this work matters. ❤️🔥
We talked about caring for ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, and energetically—and about reconnecting with the wisdom and medicine of our Ancestors.
In so many Indigenous cultures, medicine isn’t something you’re meant to keep for yourself. You receive it, learn from those who came before you, and then carry it forward.
Especially when we remember the intentional erasure, colonization, and genocide our communities have experienced, we understand why storytelling, mentorship, and passing down knowledge have always been so important. Our stories became vessels for survival.
Our medicine survived because someone chose to pass it on.
That’s why mentorship matters so deeply to me.
I love supporting @ylpkc because they are the next generation of leaders. I’m so proud of our community and the way young adults are stepping into this world boldly, proudly, and intentionally.
We know that when we heal ourselves, we heal those around us. And when we pour into one another, we strengthen our entire community.
So don’t just focus on making it to the top of the ladder. The dream job. The corner office. The title.
Make sure you’re opening the door behind you.
Make sure the medicine, knowledge, opportunities, and wisdom you’ve received keep moving forward.
That is how we build legacy.
That is how we honor those who came before us.
That is how we make sure the next generation doesn’t have to start where we did.
So grateful to YLP for creating such an intentionally curated space to break stigma, connect, dance, learn, and care for the whole person. 🫶🏽
Your medicine can’t stop with you. Pass it on.
We are stepping into summer and fall — our harvesting time, our time of abundance. And with abundance comes responsibility: to remember how our Ancestors taught us to be in relation with nature, not just to take from it.
Have you ever really sat with the Sacredness of the plants all around us? I keep seeing Grandfather Trees — some hundreds of years old — cut down out of fear of falling limbs. I understand the concern. But cutting down a tree isn’t just cutting down a tree. It’s a whole ecosystem for our other relatives.
Decolonizing the mind means pulling ourselves out of this one moment and seeing how our choices ripple into future generations, into everyone around us.
Botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer, of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, calls this the Honorable Harvest:
1. Learn the ways of those who sustain you.
2. Introduce yourself. Be accountable.
3. Ask permission. Abide by the answer.
4. Never take the first. Never take the last.
5. Take only what you need.
6. Take only that which is given.
7. Never take more than half.
8. Harvest in a way that minimizes harm.
9. Use it respectfully. Never waste.
10. Share what has been given to you.
11. Give thanks.
12. Give a gift in reciprocity.
Next time you pick a flower, ask permission first. Leave something in return — a strand of hair, a song, a prayer. Start being in relationship with the plants around you, not just taking from them.🌺
Growing up in Simi Valley, a predominantly white town, I didn’t find my Latinidad until my late twenties. My dad always said it: you walk out and it’s America, you walk in and it’s Mexico. But when you’re the only brown girl in the room, you learn to shrink. Even my name got smaller — for years I introduced myself as something easier to say, because someone else’s discomfort with “Alejandra” became my shame.
Not anymore.
There is medicine in our culture, our language, our people. The void I used to feel wasn’t random — it was disconnection from the part of me that makes me beautiful. My soil is rich.
My pride has nothing to do with you. If it’s uncomfortable, ask yourself why.
Facts: U.S. Latino GDP hit $4 trillion in 2025 — 5th largest economy in the world. Latina-owned businesses grew 37% from 2022–2025, outpacing nearly every other group — while getting under 2% of VC funding.
We are here. We are proud. We are calling back our power. Feliz Día de la Latina. 🌞

“When your day-to-day life is full and on the go, stepping into an energy session with Alex is like a breath of fresh air. Your world slows down and you are able to be present during the session because of the calming and safe presence she brings. Whether it is your first reiki session or your 5th, Alex always makes sure you are comfortable and taken care of. Afterward, you walk away feeling lighter- spiritually and emotionally – from the release of stuck energy or emotions that no longer serve you.”
