Meet Yunena Smith

We recently connected with Yunena Smith and have shared our conversation below.

Yunena , so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?

My purpose was through my Rites of Passage which catapulted me to be in alignment with my North Star.

In actuality, I found my purpose by literally bleeding death. On January 3, 2017, I had gained enough strength to drive myself to urgent care because I was feeling very weak, lightheaded and I was hearing a whooshing sound in my right ear. After the doctor reviewed my lab results, I was told that, “I need a blood transfusion,” due to my hemoglobin level that read 5.7.
I was completely clueless as to what that meant. Immediately afterwards I was told, “the ambulance were called and they are on their way.” When I arrived at the emergency room a triage nurse mentioned, “my hemoglobins dropped to 5.3 and I will be transfused with 4 pints (units) of blood,” You should have seen how confused I was! Besides the feeling of being a little tired, lightheaded and hearing my heartbeat in my right ear, I thought I was fine. But in actuality, I was feeling a false sense of normalcy. As I was being transfused with my first unit, I flatlined. After resuscitation, I felt a serge of energy a newness from within that was indescribable. Numerous tests revealed that I had also suffered two small strokes in my cerebellum due to the substantial blood loss.

My health crisis transformed my perspective on life tremendously. I also, learned that the hemorrhage stemmed from Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM), a hereditary condition characterized by the abnormal tangling of arteries and veins that bypass normal tissues. While AVMs can occur throughout the body, they are most commonly found in the brain or spinal cord and are a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Just as I began to focus on my recovery, I faced yet another challenge, three weeks later, I began bleeding heavily again, this time due to fibroids that had been triggered by the blood transfusion. Further tests revealed that I also have an hereditary blood disorder known as Alpha Thalassemia Trait. I was undetected since California began screening newborns 29 years after I was born. Reflecting on my life, it makes sense as to why on many occasions I experienced excruciating pain in my arms and legs from childhood to the present. In my earlier years during those challenging times, I learned Shamanic remedies which was handed down to my great aunt who guided me in accessing my inner healing power never realizing that those experiences were preparing me for something greater.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

My name is Yunena Smith, and I was raised in Carson, California.
I lived with my grandparents and uncles. I also take great pride in being the mother of three beautiful young adults Darell, LaĆroix and Monét and my brilliant grandson, Jeremiah.

I am the owner of; Thee Violet Rose Thorns To Heal, LLC. My focus is to help you reclaim back your authentic YOU as each session will be different according to your spiritual needs.

HELPING SPIRITS:
With help, I call on my helping spirits to guide me to target areas within the body, to aid in releasing deep emotional wounds, energy clearing, chakra alignment, and restoring harmony within our body. My ability to scan the body-whether through a virtual session or even from a single photo has changed lives. To give back, I offer virtual Shamanic Reiki treatments that enables me to reach people from all over the world, which brings healing at your convenience.

At a very young age, I always knew that I was different, my ancestry dates back to the Blackfoot Tribe.
From birth my vision was impaired, I viewed the world as a huge blur which strengthen my Clairs. At 8 years old my great aunt who was intuitive as well said, “this girl has the gift.”

Although, I loved to be outside most Wednesdays and sometimes Fridays, I would tune into my favorite show. I was 9 years old when I found someone that I could relate too, a beautiful woman with a raspy voice by the name of Sylvia Browne, world renowned spiritual teacher, psychic, author, lecturer and researcher in the field of parapsychology, who had a reoccurring appearance on the Montel Williams Show. I found myself glued to the tv when Sylvia was the guest never missing an episode. While being in awe over Sylvia’s readings, I finally felt that I was not alone. Throughout my younger years and into adulthood, I have experienced countless of psychic insights. The two experiences that really hits home was when I was 18 years old. One evening, I felt an overwhelming purge of emotions rumbling throughout my entire body, I also felt compelled to write on paper,
“grandma please don’t go” on every part of the paper front and back. To find out that my beautiful grandma would pass the following day. I can’t say it enough, that the spirit world is very intelligent. I felt that I was used as a bridge, it was the release I needed the day before to be the strength for my mom to aid in her grief. Another profound moment came when I was 10 years old. I had an inner knowing that my Uncle Dwayne, affectionately known as “Twinks,” would not have a long life, I could never envision him reaching 30, 40, or 50 years old. Tragically, he passed away at just 22 years old.

These are just two examples to give you a peek into my world.

By the end of 2017 after my (NDE) near death experience, I was spiritually pulled towards Reiki after reading one of my spiritual teachers the world renowned Medium James Van Praagh’s book titled; Unfinished Business which referenced his journey in Peru and the benefits Reiki brought into his life.
On February 1, 2019
I was attuned with USUI/HOLY FIRE III RYOHO/I & II Degree Reiki at one of the most sacred places on earth, in beautiful Sedona, AZ at the International Center for Reiki Training.

Nine months later, I went through my “Awakening” while being divinely pulled to relearning or better yet reLOVING myself all over again. That entire experience made me go within to commit to doing some much needed shadow work to become a better version of ME. As my entire life shifted to a continuous desire to be of service, while stepping into my power by living true and authentically, while leading with love and compassion in every aspect of my life. As we move into the spiritual age of frequency. I know that I am here to light the way for others to see their own unique light within them.

I am also committed to empowering my clients to live in alignment by listening to their (gut) their own intuitive inner compass, while being an active participants in their own healing journey.

As I continued to learn, grow and evolve, I took courses that I felt spiritually pulled towards. I am very passionate about my gifts so I harnessed the opportunities to develop my skills while earning Certifications in the following; Spiritual Life Coach, Mediumship l, and I am currently studying Mediumship ll from; The School of Mystical Arts: Founder; James Van Praagh a Spirit Medium with continued online studies in Mediumship from International Medium Gordon Smith.

GOAL:
As I surrender my desires over to the universe and trust in where it wants to take me. One of my professional goals is to co-create with the universe to expand my business by incorporating sound healing (crystal singing bowls) and to host a sacred energy release dance class twice a week.

I am most excited about being able to show up for myself in new and exciting ways and within this space, I am able to be a beacon of light for others to do the same.

I am eager to participate in the global celebration of consciousness as a Shamanic Reiki Practitioner. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and healing expertise at various events, including spiritual conferences, international gatherings, workshops, and as a guest speaker in both in-person and online formats, as well as during panel discussions and keynote workshops.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

My Three Most Important Qualities:

To stay grounded and the ability to let go of control, in particularly over the unknown. This realization stemmed from my inner child’s struggle with abandonment, which stagnated me into a cycle of a learning-loop of the same situation but with different faces, unknowingly hindering my personal growth, vulnerability and the growth within a relationship.

Also, I realized that if you want to create the world that you want, the relationships that you want, the friendships that you want, you first have be that to YOUrself. Filling your own self up with love which is the key component to bringing those loving energies and experiences into your life.

Lastly, surrendering and knowing that when you take one step forward, the universe will take the next.
So embrace the life that brings you joy, a life that resonates with your authentic self and a life that you truly love and remember; there’s joy in the JOurneY.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

Absolutely, I am looking for other
pillars of light to partner or
collaborate with. People who are
compassionate, who lead from their
heart, who are also compassionate
about creating a loving, positive
ripple effect of healing and change
in this world. People who can hold
space for others with no judgement.

The sorts of other people/practitioners
that I am looking to collaborate with
are in the field of; healers, shamans,
metaphysics businesses that offer
healings and transformative
modalities. World travelers, sharing
their gifts through retreats and
workshops. Ultimately, someone who
has that spark to want to make a
difference in the lives of other others.
