MIQUEAS ARANA
Who is Miqueas?
I grew up in a rural part of California on a farm. My mom was 15 when she had me and my dad was 16. He came from a Mexican immigrant family of field workers. Nor my mom nor my dad were ready for parenthood. My mom struggled for many years with alcoholism and later spent some time in prison for a drunk driving accident that resulted in child endangerment. I was in the car and 6 years old at the time.
​
When my mom was in prison I went to live with my grandma and found love and discipline but also uncertainties. We didn't have a lot of money. None of my family had ever gone to college and while some suggested further education, others thought it was better just to get a job and work.
​
Luckily, because of the inspiration of a few and a soul that craved for adventure I went on to study, live abroad and complete a Master's Degree and meet the love of my life abroad (in Southern Spain).
​
My early tumultuous years were full of poverty, addiction, loss, abandonment, abuse and lead me to be curious about the human spirit and the possibility of self development and growth from an early age. I was fully studying buddhism by the age of 16 along with many other mystical, religious and non-religious traditions and systems.
​
All of these experiences would lead me to to an amazing community in Chicago where I would begin to unpack all of these years of strife and pain and eventually go on to complete several rigorous self-development certificates.
It is said that children that grow up in dangerous situations learn to develop heightened levels of intuition. I consider myself a highly intuitive person and live by my internal guidance system.
​
I know the journey is not over and probably never ends but I would like to avail myself for those that need any kind of support along the way. As a Conscious Leadership Coach, Reiki Practitioner, Intuit and one who has just went through a lot of F&%ed up sh*t I think I can be of service. Thanks for reading and don't worry, I won't always censor the word fuck. ;)
