Foreword

I first met Sarah Breen in 2019.  She was coming on board as a practitioner of The Soul Purpose, and we were meeting in person.  My first impression upon connecting with her was a very grounded, devoted person.  Sarah puts her whole heart and soul into everything she does whether she is mothering her boys, planning a class, or preparing for a client.  It is one of the traits I have come to love about her over the past few years. 

I am the owner of The Soul Purpose, LLC in Swansea, MA which has been in business since 2005.  My college degree is in clinical psychology/counseling, and business which led me to a successful career in banking.  I started in holistic energy healing 22 years ago and have trained in various Reiki lineages and Energy Medicine Master Healer training.  I left banking in 2008 to pursue my work at The Soul Purpose full time and have since become an ordained Minister of The Metaphysical Universal Ministry through their training program and was mantled as a Minister/Director for the Universal Brotherhood Movement, Inc.  My background has been deep in mysticism with a strong devotion in my spirituality.  It is what drives me and continues to inspire The Soul Purpose.  

When I met Sarah, I was intrigued by her background in Shamanism.  Her commitment to her own spiritual growth and to increasing awareness to humanity to contribute to the healing of planet earth inspired me.  Her drive and personal devotion mirrored back to me my own. I hadn’t met many other people like Sarah in my life who walked their talk and lived what they taught.   

Sarah trained traditionally in shamanism under a teacher of native descent. She then pursued more advanced training in Peruvian Shamanism and continues her studies.  We are both learning Toltec Shamanism together. I have personally reached for more Mystical studies and she more Earth-Based Wisdom studies.   We have found lots of similarities in how we connect to our paths.  Both paths lead you to your divine center.  The Sacred Heart within.  This is what Sarah is devoted to teaching and leading people back to.  The healer in her uses sacred rites and traditional teachings to guide one to their center.

In 2019 she completed her first book Mind Spirit Mapping and published it.  She created a course around the book.  I was intrigued!  I thought what is this Mind Spirit Mapping about? What does it do for a person who reads it?  I wanted to learn more.  Sarah continuously fascinates me.  She knows all this cool information and is someone I often share ideas with.  She also has taken courses with me, and I have had the pleasure of knowing her as a student.  She is curious in all the right ways and puts all of herself into what she is learning. I knew her book would reflect this, so I decided to sit down and read it.  

Mind Spirit Mapping is a book that really is a map.  It is a map that gives direction so you can navigate your mind, body, and spirit.  It isn’t quite a map that you get when you go to an amusement park telling you the exact route to take to get from one area to the next.  It is a map that is an introduction to identifying yourself as a spiritual being, living in a physical body and world, with a mind that can often get in the way.  The journey is moving out of fear into the calm center of the heart space.  Sarah teaches you to use your mind as a tool and how to receive a true vision from the heart.   This book is a simple guide to connecting to your purpose by aligning with your authentic values and using your divine right of free will as a gift. You learn tools to trust in yourself and guide your life according to your own map of destiny for which you were born. You will learn to trust in your intuition and reconnect to your Inner Self. 

I have read a lot of books in my days for many classes, courses, and programs. None have been as easy to understand and navigate as Mind Spirit Mapping.  Mind Spirit Mapping A Journey to Purpose by Sarah Breen is a refreshing book.  Regardless of your faith or belief system you can easily make your way through this guide and apply its advice into your life.  It is one of the simplest yet enlightening books I have read, and I personally recommend it to my own students.  It is the perfect book to read whether you are starting off on your spiritual journey or need a refresher to get you back into right-mindedness and heart-centeredness.  

I am honored to know Sarah as a student, colleague, and friend.  I hope as you turn the page to start the book you experience the steadfastness she brings to renew and ignite your inspiration to discover your true soul’s path.

Peace on Your Path,

Rev Jessica Kozak Shaw

Preface

It has been 15 years since the day I tried to take my life at the age of 21. The chaos of life was hard to unpack and understand in my mind. Anxiety clouded my soul, creating more life experiences that affirmed my beliefs that life no longer needed me. I know how it feels like to try to solve everyone's problem but your own. I no longer had the focus or energy to try. At that point in my life, I felt I had done everything I needed to, and it was time to go.

My puppy at the time was the only being that could stop me from committing suicide. Her 18 pounds of pure love flung open the door while she frantically knocked the blade out of my hand. She wagged her tail, jumping at my head until I turned my gaze to her. Her deep brown eyes turned into swirls of love and compassion. A deep love that I couldn't comprehend at that time. The swirls began to change and grow into the black and purple landscape of the cosmic sky. I was lost in her gaze as the expression of spirit wrapped around both of us, trickling into my heart with each beat. Taking deep breaths, I began to cry uncontrollably as her muzzle nudged my face asking for a hug. I scooped her into my arm and I started to feel again. I began to breathe and awaken within my soul.

We all have stories. Stories that take us down dark tunnels of our reality that we still question the purpose of those experiences. Life is chaos. Chaos gives us opportunities to see what is right in front of our faces. My dog, Roxy, is a being who was contracted to shake me awake when no one else could. My rebirth began that day—the journey of awakening my true nature. Awakening is why I am here in this life. But it didn't come overnight; it continues to flow with each step I take from my heart. Each physical, mental, and emotional hardship led me closer to my core. I found my way back to my root medicine. The call that screamed from my heart begging me to align my mind back to my spirit. Center yourself, Sarah  called out my from my core daily from that point forward.

My search began in the process of mastering the mind. The mind was what stood in my way, or so I thought. I studied under teachers, masters, and mentors of the mind. From Carl Jung to new age spirituality. To Buddhism and the Tao. Digging deep into every motivational speaker under the sun, I was trying to get an answer to the call that screamed without words. How can I gain mastery over my mind? My morning walks with Roxy would feel the most peaceful before the daily task and search began. I missed an essential step, but it was never far away.

My root medicine led me to my heart. A unique reset that helped me identify who I stood for as a person in this modern-day world. I was able to remap my mind to allow space for healing, learning, processing, and reaffirming our greatest assets as humans. I studied with Shamans for over eight years to realize that everything I had been doing, exploring, and researching in my life pointed me back to the foundational medicine in humanity. It's what the Mystics, Sages, Masters, and Gurus talk about; we must clear the mind to have space for the heart to emerge, the spirit of all. The process started to click together like dominoes in my mind.

As I sat in front of my computer, the map poured out faster than I could type. Imagine a tree. The roots are something we don't see. But without strong solid roots, the tree would not withstand the elements. Over time the truck thickens as its branch supports the leaves as they reach the sun, which filters down to the roots. The roots are mysterious in how it calls the minerals and water to their tips to feed their being. In the same way, envision yourself as a tree. Your roots are unseen, dark, and deeply embedded within the Earth. But you always get exactly what you need at any given moment. Not what we want, but what we need. To grow a thick trunk and branches that can support leaves and flowers, we must always acknowledge the health of our roots.

Mind Spirit Mapping is a map to help you feel the roots to acknowledge the beautiful being you are. You are a being of dark and light, Heaven and Earth, space and stars. We put too much pressure on ourselves! This map is a
