Nickie Jean shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Nickie, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What do you think is misunderstood about your business?
Within my Mystery School there are multiple offerings I have available for people to experience, but one of them tends to be more misunderstood than others which is my tantric ceremony. It is not only misunderstood, but also tends to be shrouded with the energetics of shame that are lingering around the concept of sensuality overall within society. This offering also seems to be the most potent in transformation for my clients because of this issue as well.
Not only is the energetics around sexuality extremely highjacked through entertainment and propaganda, but our endocrine system which regulates this part of our body is one of the most poisoned and attacked daily through things like household cleaning products, to perfumes, as well as cosmetics. When we have a healthy endocrine system and an awareness of how to access our full body including our sex centers we can unlock regeneration and healing of our entire being. I don’t think that it is coincidence that there is so much shame and perversion placed around this concept, or that so many things are sold to us that disrupt and shut down our endocrine system. I believe this is done to keep us in a state of weakness which keeps us looped into outsourcing our healing and in constant consumerism.
To me personally I believe that by breaking free of the programming and releasing the shame that prevents us from learning these tools of healing, that we are able to unlock the true power of our bodies abilities. It goes far beyond the simplicity of feeling pleasure, and once tapped into there is a much deeper wisdom that is able to enhance the overall trajectory of spiritual awakening. Not only are we able to create life through these aspects of our beings, we are able to give life to ourselves which is why it is one of the most powerful healing modalities that I offer in my Mystery School for people to learn of. Endocrine alchemy and sacred sexuality is like I mentioned one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented topics I teach, which does also cause me to have to hold space to help others work through the disillusionment of it all. Even though it is one of the more difficult offerings to have in this regard, it is also the most rewarding when I see others awaken and free themselves. To witness others learn to heal themselves is the most rewarding gift that I experience with being a space holder and sacred ceremonialist.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Nickie Jean and I am a modern day priestess and healer, as well as the creator of Askanda Natha Mystery School located in the Los Angeles area. I specializes in holding space for healing through ceremonies ranging from reiki, to tantra, and sacred medicines such as kambo. I also offer priestess apprenticeships to allow others to come and learn the temple arts, and to assist them in feeling comfortable and confident to share their gifts with community. Through temple initiations and Mystery School teachings I provide an outlet to help re awaken ancient traditions integrated into modern society.
One of my passions is helping to shed shame around sacred sexuality and help people understand the power that lies within our sexual essence, as well as helping other women to feel safe to be embodied in the divine feminine power of sensuality done in an honorable manner. Through kundalini energetics and quantum bodywork I teach others unique ways to awaken the endocrine alchemy that the ancients used to revere. Among my many Mystery School offerings I also provide womb healing, yoni mapping, and kundalini awakening done through your own spiritual experience, not relying on another to access and rise this sacred life force. I most recently was given the opportunity to share the power of yoni mapping with Sonali on the TLC show Virgins, in which I was assisting in her journey of healing her vaginismus through yoni mapping and somatic work.
My greatest joy is learning new wisdoms and sharing it with others. I truly believe it is my dharma to be a space holder and teacher, and to re awaken the codes of temple arts in todays society.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
Something that has helped me immensely as an adult is learning about false truths and the ways we receive them, as well as the methods in which we can release them. When we are babies we don’t understand the concept of identity yet and we believe that we are one with our mothers. This is why usually when a mother leaves the room the baby will start to cry because it feels that it no longer exists when its not in the presence of its mommy. There comes a special time in development usually between the age of 3-5 that we suddenly realize that there is this huge wide world, and we are our own person existing within it. Yet around this period we don’t quite yet know who we are, which is why if someone says to you “Why would you do that, that’s stupid” when we hear this because we don’t yet know who we are, we believe that we must be stupid. This is how false truths are planted into our identity and our whole personality is shaped and grown around this false truth.
Due to the fact that we all go through this period of growth and its practically impossible for everyone to be so aware of what is spoken to us during this time pretty much all people have at least one false truth embedded into their psyche. A way to release these false truths is to look into the eyes of another (if you don’t have anyone else you can look in the mirror because our reflection is technically looking into the eyes of another) and speak out loud the truth three times. It’s almost like pushing control alt delete on the programmed false truth in the computer of our mind, by hearing the truth three times it is allowed to let go of the false truth. For myself I have had false truths around worthiness, as well as intellect. Dealing with dyslexia was a hard thing for me growing up which made me feel dumb, but by releasing these false truths I am no longer triggered with negative thoughts when I don’t spell or articulate words correctly.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I was a highly sensitive child and would cry often, in most home videos of me as a little girl I was usually crying. It’s a running joke within my family about how often I used to cry. The truth is I have always been extremely sensitive so I was not only feeling my own emotions strongly, I was feeling everything and everyone else and without the tools of self regulation and all I knew to do was to cry to feel better. Now this ability to feel so deeply what others are feeling has given me the ability to hold space on a much deeper level for the healing process.
I also grow up experiencing attacks often from lower level entities and spirits and dreaded going to sleep at night because of this. I was terrified of the dark and what I could feel and see watching me from it. As an adult I began to realize not everyone experienced this and that I have a deep connection to the other realms. Surviving a near death experience at 20 began to activate deeper abilities and sight which changed me forever. From prophetic dreams, accidental elemental manipulation, astral travel, time bending, shape shifting, and visits of other world beings became a normal occurrence for me so I shut down for most of my 20’s.
As my true awakening happened I began to understand and navigate these experiences, and as I enter the the decade of my 40’s, has led to me to the spiritual mastery that I am at now. What used to feel like a burden to sleep at night became my training grounds into my power of psychic protection and the ability to hold space for others in ceremony. What once plagued me being so sensitive to knowing what everyone was feeling around me, became my greatest gift as I began to harness my abilities and utilize them in my healing practices. In moments when others tell me of entities that I have seen myself it allows me to give them the comfort I never had of knowing you are not alone, and that a lot of these things are very real. The quantum and astral realms are still a big mystery to me, but with the experiences that I have had thus far has given me enough knowledge to stay grounded and centered when holding space for others going through similar experiences.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What do you believe is true but cannot prove?
I believe that magic and other realms of existence are real. I know that each persons journey is unique so when someone tells me this is false I respect them and their version of reality, but with my own personal experiences it is impossible for me to believe otherwise. There have been several times throughout my life when a supernatural experience is being had by myself and another that they have said to me “Nickie I believe magic is real because of you”. My whole life I have had the strangest experiences that are almost like a SyFy movie, and when they happen in the presence of another witness I am able to not question my sanity because I was not the only one who saw it.
Many of the most bizarre and intense experiences that I have had were with another person, which luckily has given me the peace of mind to know this is real and I am not insane. If they see it too, then I can’t be crazy and when they say “magic is real” I have to agree. Also most of them are accidental, like once when time slowed down and I threw a fire ball out of my fingers in front of a friend. Growing up experiencing them alone filled me with a lot of fear, but as an adult each time something unexplainable happens people that are close to me are used to it by now, and accept that a lot of supernatural and unexplained phenomena surrounds me on a regular basis. By now when I share with them anything that happens when I am alone they no longer question me, and understand that I am telling the truth. In my early 20’s I was called a witch a lot from people who witnessed things and didn’t understand what was going on, or said I was cursed, and sometimes I believed them. I see now this is not a curse, but a very powerful gift to experience reality beyond what we see as normal. I still do question sometimes why this happens to me so much, but now I no longer dread it. One thing I have learned is that each new experience is usually answering a question that I am trying to work through in that current moment about existence and reality. It seems like as soon as one question is answered, a million more follow. And that ultimately I have no idea what is going on, but one thing I do feel that I know is magic is real.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
Stop fear and anxiety. One thing I am currently trying to embrace is trust. Trusting that creator is providing the best outcome always, and every time I think things are going “wrong” in my life they are actually aligning everything just as it needs to be. There have been so many moments of clarity like this for me, yet I still find myself worrying and trying to control outcomes more than I feel I should. Each time I embrace trust and let go of fear the rewards are worth it. This is my current purification that my ego is working through. My goal is to anchor deeper into a soul led life.
