We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Mariko Rollins. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Mariko below.
Hi Mariko, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.
A lot of people preach to follow your intuition, but it can be difficult to know the exact moment that it matters most. I had a pivotal moment with my intuition last summer when I knew I had to make a drastic change in my professional life or my physical and spirit bodies simply would not make it. I was overburdened with stress by toxic bosses and I could probably tell stories of 100 or more experiences I had, almost daily, leading up to truly listening to what my intuition was telling me, resulting in a huge life change. As a very experienced Mystic and Healer operating in business I have learned to follow my intuition first, then qualify my decisions based on data, but sometimes it takes months for the data to present itself, which can be frustrating. It can also seem risky to follow your intuition when so many people simply ignore theirs, or have silenced it through their own behaviors and choices. I’m happy to say I finally listened to my intuition and left a toxic job which has led me to personal growth, a return of my self worth and learning new skills, which is building my business toolkit everyday. Another very positive shift that came from finally listening to my intuition and taking the risk to be who I truly am has been the ability to talk about Energy Work and tell people what a Mystic is. I have blessed countless lives through my gifts and I am proud of the Healer that I am. That is something I was discouraged from doing at my pervious professional position, which was confusing and counter-intuitive to personal development that so many corporations claim they support. Understanding risk and assessing the choices we make on a daily basis then making choices to support ourselves should be encouraged in every company. Not only would employees be more authentic and happy, but businesses would be more profitable and work places more supportive of those that spend their days there. Im so glad I finally listened to my intuition and have been able to peel back the layers that have shown me my more authentic self.
Mariko, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I am what is known as a Mystic. A Mystic is a subset of Healer that utilizes many modalities and disciplines of healing to alchemize energy forms within the physical and spirit bodies and on other planes of existence and dimensions. It can involve very complicated practices and rituals, but the basis is that transformation must exist in the ethers before change can be seen in the physical form. There is a saying about Mystics that goes something like this: The Mystic swims where the psychotic drowns. There is not one set of concrete factors that make up what a Mystic is, but there are behavioral traits, personality patterns and healing skills that overlap in many Healers that are also Mystics, much like a Venn Diagram. Not every Mystic shares the exact same traits, but all of them are brilliant channelers and when properly guided, rested, supported and nourished perform miracles for themselves and others. Some of these traits can mirror many types of autism or sensory disorders since the Mystic feels emotion and the intent of others along with their auric fields so acutely. I experience the world as if there are several movies playing on top of each other. Everywhere I look I see someone’s story playing out, whether it’s the past, present or future being shown to me, and I can redirect with edits to help that person experience a higher timeline. I can also experience Entities, Demons and Low-Vibrational Beings along with Ascended Masters, Inter-Dimensional Beings and Spirit Animals as if they were talking to me in line at the grocery store. Everything that shows up does so for a purpose, and assisting others as well as myself in discerning who and what to engage with for my higher purpose can be a full-time job some days! As I’ve developed my gifts, written guided meditations and performed healing sessions on people and animals I have grown into the sort of person I always dreamed would rescue my younger self, and that is how my brand has evolved. I am incredibly proud of the person and spirit that I have evolved into and I will continue to evolve and grow as I am called to by my Higher Self.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
I’d say the most important lesson of this mortal life has been for me to unlearn negative self-talk and self-doubt and re-learn how to love myself, and how to allow others to love me. I built up a hard shell which didn’t just protect me, it suffocated me. From minute-one of conception I felt unloved and unwanted and from minute-one of birth I experienced what a self-fulfilling prophecy of the absence of love truly looked like. Learning to allow myself to experience love, joy, euphoria and allowing others to share in that process with me has been the capstone of my experience this lifetime. I am challenged by these topics still and gently encourage myself to allow others to love me as I have learned to love myself. When I began to work with clients I realized it was effortless for me to love them where they were at, but impossible for me to imagine that anyone could love me at all. Overcoming self-loathing has been incredibly rewarding and continues to gift me with new ways to overcome those old patterns and old beliefs.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
Being honest about what shows up for a client is the most effective strategy for growing my clientele. I don’t choose how the story presents itself, but it is my job to verbalize what the Higher Guides and Angels are asking me to verbalize while in-session. This can be incredibly challenging if I am nervous about how a client is going to react, or if it will resonate with them at all. I can say from experience it may seem strange, silly or insignificant, but sharing the parts of the healing that I am called to share has led to some of the most magical and spiritual experiences of my life. I have had referrals recount stories that former clients had told them which prompted them to schedule with me only to giggle and remember the parts of the healing I didn’t share, which were usually out of this world. Not everyone is going to experience a 10/10 spiritual awakening while in-session with me but having integrity and sharing the highest and best messages for each client is what has grown my clientele the most. I welcome with open arms anyone who truly is ready to experience a healing session with me and the Guides that show up for us both.
