Shelley Adams – Soul Medicine 

I am an Intuitive Artist, Spiritual Healer and Bone collector living in the coastal town of Hermanus, Western Cape. South Africa.

I’ve been deeply connected to my Guides and in the spiritual field for many years. As a child growing up, I found it hard to resonate with any of the organized belief systems that were available to me at the time. And so much of the time, I kept my own counsel. Some years later I followed the call to move to the small coastal village of Hermanus, South Africa, surrounded by mountains and hosting a large variety of bird and animal life. In these places of nature I began to find my home.

On my journey since then, I have had the honour of working closely with strong medicine women, well respected in their fields; Celtic, Native American, and South African. From each of these I was able to gather and was gifted, support and nourishment. I was able to take from each of these powerful Teachers those things that resonated with me. In working with my guides, these gifts became my Soul Medicine.

I communicate closely with my own Guides on my journey. They are my first port of call in all  that I do. With their guidance and their support, I have been able to bring many of their gifts and medicines into my life.  One of these important medicines is Colour.

As an artist I find colour to be the natural way for me to experience life. I also find that many of my messages from Spirit come through my own artworks. It is as though they emerge through texture, through colour and through images created through me on my canvases. As a result of this, I have been able to create an Oracle Wisdom card deck, my Sacred Soul Journey deck. In this card deck I use my own artworks and the messages that Spirit brings through them for me. I have found it to be a very empowering aid in healing. Nothing gives me more joy than to discover  someone giving an online reading incorporating my Sacred Soul Journey deck.

With our lives moving more into the digital world, I have now made my Sacred Soul Journey Deck available on App Store for iPhone and iPad. Should any of you be interested in downloading it and having the wisdom at your fingertips, please find the link here

After much nudging from my Guides, I now offer consultations and workshops with the healing vibrational energies of both Colour and Sound. These sessions have proven to be immensely powerful. Each person is able to take into their own lives’ insights and guidance as to how different colours and sounds vibrate within their own bodies.This helps them acknowledge any recurring pains, illnesses, even those along the genetic line, and to trace back shadow emotions that keep pulling that condition closer. Together we uncover the vibrational energies of colour and sound that can be used for healing.

One of my passions is working with Animal Spirit Guides. I offer readings using my Secret Soul Journey cards and include animal cards. Working with spirit animals has been a deep love in my life. I find myself understanding and feeling into the messages coming through from the animals. Spirit Animal Guides support and help us heal aspects in our lives and support us in overcoming our challenges. As we acknowledge their guidance and the wonderful messages that they bring through from Mother Earth, they are able to help us in absolutely everything we do. The joy and healing that they can bring to us is invaluable. My journey with Animal Spirit Guides has led me to offer Soul Portraits (painting of the guides working with you) as well as painted handcrafted Medicine Bags and Medicine Shields.

The elements of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air influence everything we do, our choices, our thoughts and our movement forward. As we become conscious of how we can work with these elements, our lives become richer. We start to recognize how they affect any emotions we have, insights the guides are bringing, insights the animals are bringing. Working with these elements helps us feel more connected to the world around us, giving us a feeling of belonging and how we are connected to the grid. And at the same time connecting us deeply with Great Spirit and Mother Earth. We find that there is no separation between the energy that is us and the energy that is anything else.

The Tree People bring their own remarkable teachings. How to be connected to the web of life, remain rooted and to weather the storms that life blows onto our path. In connecting with these trees, we feel ourselves growing tall and strong. As we join with their rooted energy we find strength to grow tall and reach out for our dreams. We learn to lean into these sentient beings for support, for their guidance, and for their gifts of healing and connection. I invite you to work with me and these magnificent teachers.

I offer consultations, retreats, and workshops, both online and in-person. In these sessions we connect with the aspect of your journey that is asking for attention. We work deeply together and with our respective Guides on what is surfacing, and we allow the messages from Spirit to come through to deepen your journey and healing.

In workshops and retreats, I cover various aspects of these modalities, including the pertinent energies of the phases of the moon and the seasons, as well as the equinoxes and solstices. As energy beings, we are not separate from the energies around us. We all need to find our link, the space where we feel at home, and where we feel our potential for growth lies. At no time do we do this in isolation. It is a journey we undertake with our own Guides, Great Spirit, and Mother Earth, and all that they have to offer in every moment of every day.

Medicine Shields and Bags

Much of my work centres around creating and painting custom Sacred shields or Medicine Bags. I begin with a meditation journey where I am divinely guided to work with you and connect with the spirit animals that have a particular message for you at this time. These messages from the animals incorporate some degree of personal transformation and healing. I am also taken to a place which proves to be of significance.

I also offer personal one-on-one journey sessions you undertakes your own journey to the beat of the drum. Time is spent finding the relevant question, the answer to which will facilitate assistance with a particular challenge you might be facing. Should you wish, you can then choose to have the animals painted on a Medicine Bag or Sacred Shield. These shields and pouches are decorated with a combination of shells, beads, bones, crystals, feathers, as well as any required personal objects. The numerology of your birthdate is also worked into the final product if desired.
