I know many people who have been scammed out of money from her. The whole point of being a healer is integrating your own pain and past in order to be able to support people through what you’ve learned. I love you for being so honest. It’s important people know how easy it is to be taken advantage of. And she usually does charge people for those power totems!
The ethereal nature of spiritual work makes it difficult to scrutinize with more scientific methods. This is not to say it is not powerful or real. I know from experience that it is. It's validation comes from the heart however, and the changes that it creates within and around us. Those changes are often subtle but can be very powerful over time like a 1 degree course correction in a sailing vessel. Integrity is of the utmost importance to this process and in order to gauge the integrity of the practitioner, one must look closely to see to what degree the practitioner is invested in a positive outcome for the "patient" (for lack of a better word), and to what degree they are invested in their own ego.
Okay, I smell a cult big time. I know because I belonged to one. Clue 1: The way her followers come out to greet you like they did. Clue 2: Not wanting to talk about herself. Something to hide? Maybe from where she came from? Clue 3: Dresses, looks and acts like a cult leader. Clue 4: Cult leaders like to change their identities to hide their past. Clue 5: Supernatural abllities supposidly. Clue 6: Supposedily something to teach but really don't. But do love this one. Yes, make a part two. Skeptical but interesting like all you check out.
It California, many play a role there, hard to tell what is real. I read a super interesting article online about cults and spirituality in LA. There is a big tradition of people seeking it out of historic reasons like wanting a fresh start, the Hollywood scene of money, power as well as failed careers as actors etc. Very fascinating stuff
So, thousands of years ago Amazonian Witches lived in California-and just one thousand years ago, Amazon Warrior Women lived there too. Never mind that the Amazon forest is 5000 miles away. I think she likes to toy with people and she gets away with it by creating unsettling distractions with her heavy accent, odd word choices and excessive, fluffy ornamentation.
well there is a story of Queen Calif and her griffins.... an all women island, when california was an island. We shove such stories straight into the mythology box though.
She is very physically beautiful but her energy is quite hostile. She is very closed off instead of being open about her spiritual journey. It’s hard to believe someones legit without hearing their stories and why they are the way they are. It’s the stories that make us US. Since she’s hiding her past we really don’t know who she is. When I try tapping into her energy I see a blank wall bc she doesn’t accept anyone in. I hope she opens up her energy centers at some point because closing yourself off like that causes dis-ease. I found myself laughing at some points during this video because it’s kind of awkward how she just lies straight to your face and you go with it to not cause problems 😂 I love you girl, love your content.
I agree 100%, that's exactly what I was thunking too. OMG !!! YES ,the story is what matters the most, why did she even come on the show if she's not open to talking about her and her own journey.
@@joannedejongh2827 a lot of people use spirituality to help heal their wounds and get to the deep rooted things, once healed we can then show others how to do the same thing, but the fact she’s lying straight to sky’s face isn’t very “spiritual and it shows us that she still needs more healing to do and she shouldn’t be idolized. Usually people seeking the higher ascended path will speak their truth but she hides everything and doesn’t seem very humble. I can get where you’re coming from. Everyone should use discernment but she’s just a little off. I hope nothing but the best for her and I’m not bashing her I’m stating what’s obvious..
@@jlove24 Defensive? She's not even there 😂😂😂 Sky Life is like "I wanna understand you" and she goes "Your heart understands". It was not even a dodge 😂😂😂it waz the quivalent of multiplying any number by zero. And the one time Sky Life says "I don't know if this is real" and she just goes "Pick a card". 😂😂😂 it edits like a great comedy because of the incongruity. 😂
@@livingtheskylife “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14)
Over the course of many decades, I've spent time with people who I consider to be enlightened. Several common characteristics of these people are: they never claimed enlightenment for themselves. Moreover, they very rarely referenced themselves at all. They are just there, fully present, devoid of ego. After all, if a person says "I am enlightened" who is saying that if not the ego. Enlightenment is a sign that the ego has dissolved.
@@uunn1ttyy Yes a Narc with a bit of an ego issue. Enlightened beings are not interested in material things they are above that level. My personal opinion what a load of BS.
I don’t think our egos are supposed to dissolve. I understand that this is the definition of “enlightenment” in some specific traditions, but I think we should call it something else in English, so as not to confuse it as the ultimate “destination” or realization. It is not. (There is none, beyond our free will choice of how we experience creation.)
@@JB-og8gn - I agree with you. If you have a highly evolved brain and nervous system as humans do, you are going to have an ego. As one of my enlightened teachers explained it, what does dissolve is the habit, the conditioning of the ego always coming to the fore, of always being there. My teacher once joked, if you get pulled over by a cop demanding your ID and wanting to know who you are, it's best if you have an ego that shows up and can answer the cop. But in most situations, the ego is not needed. It is the habit, the conditioning of the ego to always be there that is dissolved.
No harsh feelings, but I think her whole facade of being mystical and 'unknowable' comes off as narcisistic. A big part of spirituality for me is how practice can bring honesty and connection between people. Maybe I'm just not enlightened enough lol.
Completely agree with you. The whole point of becoming 'more' spiritual is to feel closer to people not above or beyond them. It is about returning to source energy / and acting from a place of unconditional love x
As a healer I believe it's important to be transparent with yourself and to specifically share your story because it allows people to connect with you and trust you. She kept telling you to feel and not think but your gut feeling was telling you she wasn't authentic. She idols Madonna which tells me she wants fame. Sky did you resonate with the tarot reading she gave you?
The tarot card reading was so general I think it would resonate with literally any woman haha "something happened with a man that you still need to heal from" welcome to a patriarchal society lol
@@livingtheskylife women are more free than ever i think , why do you say the patriarchy thing? women hurt men too , and do alot of shit too , its not the sex , why do people follow pheudofeminism?
Sky I'm just so in awe of you asking the hard questions, and not backing down and being honest! I love that level of bravery and integrity. I want to be more like that ❤❤
Using discernment, it is obvious she is a fake person. Do not entertain this liar any further, you have done your job and highlighted this very well. Along your path of being open this is bound to happen, but please continue to do what you do, and find the gems among the wolves. The gems deserve a beautiful being like yourself and deserve to be showcased to help others.
Yes bro she is not enlightened she has only opened 21 chakras and is realm 1 stage four, to be enlightened you have to be realm 7 stage 9 btw shes not high enough to perform miracles
Agree. I feel so much happiness every time a get the notification of your vids. I love the content the teachings and the honest curiousity and need to understand cause that's how I feel about the world and you are lucky to get to do and go to places because is what so many of us only can dream about and you go and do it for us to watch and believe it could be real for us two. I really admire you and appreciate the hard work you put on your channel. Keep going, you are big in every way.
I have to follow suit and be honest with you…. I think she’s an absolute hoax. But you are the real thing! I love your fair and impartial videos and I love how you allowed her to present herself. We are able to form our own opinions as you present both sides. Thank you so much!!!
im less than 60 seconds in and i can already tell you, true heyoka empaths, healers, medicine women or whatever the case, dont go around bragging or speaking about their good works, their good works speak for themselves, if people were healed, we would all know instantly.
Aghhhh oh my gosh. I was at that expo! There were some cool people… but some felt extremely off to me. I also came across several people who I truly believe were full on narcissists
She is a great performer. Not a guru, more like a gypsy witch. Nothing wrong about it, but nothing spiritual either. But entertaining, bring on part 2. Love you Sky!
‘If you can’t convince them, confuse them’ I totally felt the confusion. And honestly I felt protective of her, like she had a though life and just found something that made her feel good. But yeah, as of enlightened, her speech and actions were too incoherent for that.
She is part of a sect from Russia, then known as Ashram Schabalaya. Their chief guru was imprisoned, since then the sect has been banned in Russia. Now they are traveling in Europe and America. Unfortunately, all previous journalistic work can only be found in Russian and Ukrainian. In Europe and America they are still too successful with their manipulation. Other mentors of this sect: Aayla, Diana Suemi, Zhannabelle, Lilelle, Anatara recently as Emma, Abay Oyun, Enya. They change their names as soon as the noise around them gets too loud
She has learned some spiritual and healing practices and then created a commercialized ego-based cult to manipulate people and gain followers... she is far from being "enlightened" but has enough knowledge and skills and a flashy persona to lure people in. She reminds me of the past when I encountered spiritual teachers from a cultish Russian spiritual school that mixed shamanism and yoga and other spiritual traditions.
@@kristihopkins554 hey hey hey.... Na na na that's a toxic stigma. I've met light workers who are wolf's in sheep's clothing and I've met satanists who were nothing but kind and good to me. People can't be defined by like or dark, that's just not fair... However based off this women yes she's a fake fake fake and a con artist. It's her accent it draws ppl in I bet
Can we judge the persons character, heart, and see if they have good intentions other then discriminating dark workers as if theyr second class? It's rasist somehow... Not this women though she's a con artist
After watching this video I listened to the Oh No, Ross and Carrie! episode with Madonna when she still went by Shakuntali Siberia and it is WILD. I thought she seemed sketchy in this video but listening to that confirmed it.
Bless this woman, I can see that she really wants to help and inspire people but it seems that she has some healing to do with inside her self first. It can be easy creating identities to feel fulfilled or to suppress un healed emotion. For anyone that claims to be a healer or person who assist in the growth of people’s well-being I think it’s important to become stable with your identity and emotions first. Being as she doesnt like to speak about herself , is that she may not being truthful with her self and projecting her ideas onto people to “heal” them to feel a sense of healing within her self . But again I don’t know this lady 🤷🏽♀️ but I hope she goes far with wanting to spread light I just hope she can find the light inside as well as out. P.s Note: people are so fast to claim certain titles like “ shamans” and know little of how much weight the responsibility is and cultures of people that went through years of self healing and teachings from ancestors. I feel it’s something we all can tap into but it takes work , patience and understanding and the will of time.
This is fascinating. I agree with the general sentiment In reading here that she isn’t an authentic shaman/Amazonian/Siberian/Tibetan priestess/witch. However, there is a spiritual role of the Jester/Fool/Performer and I sense a lot of that energy in her. The spiritual value there is pulling out the contrast between real and fake through different types of performance. I see Madonna as a Spiritual Jester - ever in flux, mashing up magical and mystical sounding words and locations, mixing cultures, and generally being over the top and ridiculous which creates the energy we’re all participating here - what is “real spirituality” and what is fake? Sky, I wonder what a second part would look like if you told her you knew she wasn’t what she dressed up as, but that she still had an important spiritual role? 🧐
Okay so her and her…followers were at One Love Fest in Arizona. Her girls came up to us and pressured us for our info and I caved and gave it to them. They kept pressuring us to attend their workshops, my friends and I got bad vibes. I am not kidding when they would non stop call me after the festival! They’d call me at 9pm and ask if they could talk. I kept coming up with excuses to why I couldn’t talk. They seriously wouldn’t stop. Then one time when they called I told the girl I didn’t have time because I was going somewhere. She seriously asked me where I was going and what I was doing! I finally blocked their number.
Look man, witches are popular in Romania, she has the accent, she has the con and I think she might not actually have any gifts. Very straightforward and interested more in talking about her persona than answering any questions from Sky.
I felt her ridiculously fake from the first second, in her unnaturally "natural" outfit. I tried don't listen to my first feeling, to stay opened, but I felt very soon haha by the Amazonas women and haha by the saint in the jail and haha by the whole show. Dear Sky, YOU could step on the glass without "exotic" belly dance, eye circling and "erotic" poses. You were the REAL attraction in this video. Congratulations.
I went to a workshop of hers in London 20 years ago, then she was from Siberia. I was not that into the exercises/methods that she wanted us to do, but the energy was strong, so I was glad I had brought my friend with me who is very level headed.
A friend of mine has been following her everywhere for several years now. I feel like I have lost a friend. Feels like she lost touch with reality and her true self… that’s how you know that it’s a fake one.
Imp, the thing I reacted to most, as a psychology student.. 🤪 Was when you touched her furry arrangements and her ego was hurt (yes she said you were brave), but I think she really felt like u didnt respect her aboveness and for me that boils down to a lack of connection and an entitlement. She could have easily otherwise expressed that she had a boundary about that.. Also, thanks Sky for being so cool and living your best life 👍😀
Girl go with your gut feeling. That won’t fail ya. She’s obviously trying to disconnect with her past for whatever reason & doesn’t like answering your questions. Not trying to be mean but it just seems like a facade. Hope she finds out who she really is instead of pretending.
You should send your video to Logan, the guy with the youtube channel "Observe". He analyzes non-verbal language quite well, it would be interesting to see what he has to say on her!
Well.. I don't think we should create any concepts about how a guru or enlightenment being should be. The expression of all being are unique, even for someone who is awake for the true self. But I think she gave a really good advice, to feel with our heart, and not use so much the mind. =) Thanks once again for your videos, I really love watching them:)
we should hold those who claim to be enlightened exalted beings to a higher standard, for they should have a higher code of ethics. a truly evolved person would just not act like this plain and simple and honestly what it takes to see that is discernment. people can say things that resonate like “feel with your heart, and not use your mind so much” and while that can be great advice in certain situations that also can be extremely shallow, deflecting, and also trying to persuade someone not to trust their intuition telling them something about this person may be off. it is important we don’t just blindly trust everyone in the spiritual community, question everyone and how they react to those questions and their actions in general will reveal who they are, but it is up to us to truly see 👁
Y'all it's like she went on Etsy and looked up "witchy aesthetic" and is now a guru... I can't. I am not as open minded as sky. Bless her beautiful knowledge seeking soul.
What I look for generally in a spiritual teacher is a sense that they believe we're all equal and don't have any air of superiority. I think this is because as you get farther in a spiritual path the more you see that we are all one, and all mirrors of each other. And that leads to a teacher who is almost humble and honored in the help and healing they are allowed to give to people. This woman certainly isn't it.
A lot of (ok almost all) of these types of videos you do move me to tears. Even if it's not something i typically get into, or even if i'm skeptical. But this one, my spirit not only said she was lying, but i got a super bad feeling about this woman.
I am also a healer. I did not get a feeling of authenticity. I found it odd she won't talk about about herself, her history and her methods and rituals. For example, where is she from? Where is family and what rituals/traditions resonate with her and why? Sharing this information with clients, potential clients and those who are genuinely curious helps them to understand where you are coming from. All of my teachers, healer friends and mentors have always been open with me about their history, methods, rituals and traditions that speak to them any why. I try to do the same with my clients, friends and those who are curious in order to build that rapport.
I think you handled this brilliantly. You were kind and respectful and your audience can see for themselves the creepy inauthentic vibe. Your statement at the end was perfect and you don't need the drama of doing some "GOTCHA" moment.
Great interview! You were open to Madonna and not obtrusive in your skepticism. Madonna was obviously being evasive yet sugar-coating it with a magical cloud of Narcissistic manipulation. Did you pay for your “ blindfolded gift” which she obviously was using to peddle her wares? Or maybe she gave it to you for free since you were filming her and promoting her brand? She is a good example of a “guru” who is both promoting many elements of looking in and finding better expressions of oneself, along with grandiose and imaginative affirmations about what was present in this environment from years past. This supposedly lends her credibility in her “special power” projection. Which makes one believe that it’s true, based on her “dance” of high credibility. But when you do a reality check on her ostentatious self promoting “dance” on the broken glass, you find out it’s a total gimmick. Many people like her are captivating weak powerless people who need to look inside and gain more confidence and more power. This aspect is absolutely the truth. But her mesmerizing, Self Aggrandizing and Avoidance manipulation cannot be missed as traits of a perfect narcissist.
I definitely did not pay for that and would not have but I do know those objects are being sold for a lot of money at the retreats. Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. I know that she is a "real" teacher to many people in her own way and my call is for those people to take their power back!!
@@livingtheskylife yes! Exactly! In alcoholic anonymous the 12 step program, they talk about the importance of separating the “principle”( self transformation) from the person. Too many times the person becomes a “cult leader” and the individuals subjugate themselves to that person. Then the cult leader’s narcissism leads to an inflated and egocentric self image. This scenario leads to destruction for everyone involved…..everybody suffers the consequences. But observing her confidence and her ability to project herself powerfully is a lesson for us all. But it is also a lesson to have humility and to answer questions without sketchiness/cunningness and to be transparent.
I pulled tarot cards while watching, and I'll leave a second comment with more details, but the cards that came were the 3 of Swords reversed, Judgement reversed, 7 of Swords, 8 of Cups reversed, 8 of Swords, and The Fool. She did not like your curiosity, but she does like to perform. She likes attention, and she is an "energy vampire." She most takes advantage of those who are stuck, suffering, and heartbroken.
Okay, so they only thing I really wanted to add was that it seems she appropriates a lot of information and may be unwilling or unable to stop the games she's playing. There is a sense of power and control dynamics at play as well.
My general philosophy is, don't try to find if other people are real or fake. Universe (or whatever you call it) will show you (not ego-you) what's the truth when you are ready. "Awakening could happen in 3 secods or it may take 30 years" - Zen proverb. Cheers from Srilanka.
Another wonderful, well done video. You're such a great journalist! I love your skepticism AND open heart! Please keep up the great work, and can you just have your own show already?! I wish you much success, love, and peace. Be well
Skye I love your honesty and self strength to stand by what you felt hesitant against. I watch all your vids and they are all so magical. You were the empathetic magic in this one! You could feel the “off” vibe. Love you ! ❤️
Another great one Sky. I tend to believe one's enlightenment should make one more approachable and less elitist. The attachment to a spiritual ego seems strong in this one. But hey, I am sure she's actually helped some people - her radical self-love and expression are sure to inspire many - we are all-powerful gurus deep inside right? I do wonder though if her teachings help others find that inner light, as opposed to claiming she has some sort of divine birthright to her enlightenment. If it is the former, and she doesn't harm people with her teachings, then no judgment from here - self-love and radical self-expression are needed more in this world. Thanks again @Sky Life for another fascinating story in the weird wacky world of spiritual healers!
I can at least tell u she clearly felt your scepticism and could have easily not givin you the time of day , she’s definitely not stupid you can clearly see that . Look for a second at all spiritual people they all have haters and people who don’t believe in what they do , that’s part of their journey . Look at her perspective for a second, a woman walking into a house with young people clearly judging her , that’s special and shows enlightenment, she did not once act her frustration out
She is a mix of a lot of things, religions and spiritual practices. She have the Sikh Hat, the Indian Bindu in the Third Eye, than she have the Krishna Peacock Plume in her neck,the shaman drum and she chant like a native american ... She is a very beautiful woman btw I like her face! She's mixing a lot of things, so I don't understand her completely. Maybe is only one of many fake New Age Gurus you can find on the net, I don't know what to thinks actually...
Shakuntali Siberia, the woman who put a plank in a puddle and claimed that it was walking on water. Absolute shyster, she doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
She is part of a cult that’s super dangerous. She used to go by Shakuntali. I see she has rebranded herself, of course. She’s super traumatized and dissociated
Sky its so good to see you questioning her, that you feel the impuls to ask and you do it and not only once but you try to really get an answer. It was visible that she is not used to be questioned the same thing over and over again. She looks beautiful to me, also the whole aesthetic of how she presents herself but the avoidance of the questions make her look dangerous and scammy. The tarotreading was a joke like wtf. It was so general, I had an issue 3 years ago with a man, same with all of my friends. Everybody at some point had probably an issue with a man 3 years ago..in a job or family or wherever. That they brought their whole stuff to your place is also super weird, its not like ur home is a marketplace now to sell her things just bc she is at ur place..maybe a few pieces are ok but it looked like 2-3 tables full of stuff. Part 2 would be interesting but I think its not really needed, I dont think she will answer your questions and all she wants to show we already saw anyway 🤷🏻♀️
The tarot reading is so random and the layout of the cards were in piles (I believe), neither individually nor in a spread. It would’ve been better when it's in a spread, but this Madonna woman is randomly reading a tarot card.
I like how you give anyone a chance to teach you something new... But hell no!!! That woman can't even tell you who she is. I love your videos, keep being awesome
i feel she's a beautiful soul ,if she could just let go of the persona and move into authenticity she would become more peaceful in her spirit.....i love her costume...
I love how open and curious you are about something which seems mysterious and unsafe. I find it interesting to observe that most comments are about figuring out if she is a scam or not, about her hiding her identity, etc. If we really want to grow spiritually, I believe that we need to stop being in our minds and embrace the experience with an open heart. Our heart knows if there is some truth to what she is doing. Our heart has the answer, we don’t need to look for an answer in our head by finding hints in the video. Just ask yourself: How did I feel while she was with me? Was I interested to learn more about how she helps people? If you truly connect to your feelings, you‘ll have the answer. Your feelings don‘t lie.
I love that you made this video and I love even more that all the people in the comments get it 😂 I think she is very hurt, everytime she said “your heart understands me” I felt this sad vibe behind her words, I think that you have to be very hurt to become a scammer like this
Not just you. Same here. There is definitely some ego there when people call themselves a guru, and enjoy being seen as such and enjoy having lots of people who praise them. Also, I never understood why people follow gurus, or follow anyone for that matter.
Even though I was raised, by my dad, to be very religious. When I was able to make my own decisions, I looked at a bigger picture. And became more spiritual. I don't know what religion I am. There are certain aspects of every religion I believe in. Most of all I respect everyone and their own beliefs. But for someone who has been living by their gut for 36yrs. My opinion is ...Who knows if this woman is real or fake. I believe there are so many different aspects to spirituality that it may not be the same for everyone. Not to say it's wrong or right either. I could tell you weren't getting into her. You know the answer for yourself. As far as a part 2?!? I love your content. So I say that's up to you.
I think there is a teacher for everyone, even if she is fake those students will learn from her. They may learn good things and not to give their power away and show discernment in the future. It's a great step on the spiritual path to train sovereignty.
@@larsstougaard7097 That is a good point. I didn't think of it on that level. Even the bad experiences have a meaning. I really needed to be reminded of that. Thanks! "Everything happens for a reason."
@@GingerBillyHag yes even if it's terrible and traumatic, it's a soul experience for the journey. Of cause I hope she treats those young women who follow her well, but I'm always skeptical of flamboyant teachers like her engulfed in mystery.
Gurus supposedly make themselves look like they have God's powers or above to entice people to join their cults . I've attended one like hers... nythyananda from India. He has escaped to Perunian islands to avoid being procecuted from sex abuse, abuse to children and money laundering. Be always skeptical and avoid groups no matter who Those look for power and wealth are more likely to be cults and not related to genuine enlightenment. You need only yourself to ascend to god's grace and God's gifts ... Heal yourself through nature , self awareness and connect to God through the heart which is unconditional love . Want peace , be peace .Want healing , be compassionate ... only God can provide us with all we need ...forget these identities ... Be your own ...with God
She had a young man call me, ( she was there while he made the call ) and try and threaten me . I told them never to contact me again. I was warning people about the scam behaviors . She did not like me telling the truth . She lying . She had to change her name because she got in so much trouble .
I hear about a lot of experince of peopels! I had an experince too! I have say if God exist i want he to Show me! I was in a Religion (penticostal) there have coming an Energie in my body from my head, i was full with this Energy! After few Minute this Energy have GO away! I cant do IT again to my self! There is something what we call God! Everyone have different experince! I hear peopels who say, have See Jesus! I hear peopels who have see spirits! So much confusion, we cant see same! Our believes are different, our experince different! Lets try to understand each others!
To everyone that's hating on this lady. I think it is not fair to call someone narcissistic that chooses with their free will to talk or not talk about things that consider their own life. Other than if there was a contract in which she agreed on telling every detail of her life. She did seem to be over the top and salesy, but a lot of the things she said made sense. She sounded just like all the other folx on your channel. And don't forget if you are met with someone that laughs you off from the get go, it is really heard not to sound defensive. (I am not sure if that's what happened that day, but at least it looked like that in this video) Trying to make someone look bad, will never make you look good. What you believe is. Whomever believes in her will find their fulfilment. Kudos to her for staying so patient . This channel seems to have become a typical debunking channel that feeds of off making people look bad in their craft according to your own biased judgement and fear. For the sake of content. That is not trying to make the world a better place. That is creating hatred and division as you can clearly see in the comments. It is sad to see this channel become a platform for making people look bad. I also wouldn't let her in my life. But would never use my platform to make people look bad. I love you Sky, but this just made me sad. Much love to everyone...
As a healer,tarot reader and eclectic witch. I agree alot with others. Opening yourself up to clients can not only be transparent, but you also build a trust and bridge to one another. I am also transparent to my own following. I don't work on a big scale as I don't know everything. But I am working on it 🥰 but that's half the battle is when you see "leaders" struggle and open up it helps others connect 🥰
I feel like this one was a really good performer, like an actress trying to make a coin but it gave me a cultish kind of vibe two with the woman's talking for her and the white dresses in the first place you saw her....idk 🤔
She is very closed off… The fact that she kept evading questions having to do with herself is definitely a red flag. She is not a healer or enlightened. Just someone out to scam people. 🤷🏼♀️
Ugggh…the energy from this video made me more frustrated than it did relaxed and it has nothing to do with your questions being unanswered but more because you are right to question her. I saw & felt red flags. Listen to what you are feeling. Your feelings about her are absolutely right. I wish her the utmost best on her journey but she needs to face the truth about being transparent about herself.
The podcast Oh No Ross and Carrie interviewed her and it was very revealing. Her story started falling apart, she got called out on it, and then spent the last 15 minutes of the interview demanding that it not be released to the public lol. They also interviewed survivors of her cult
Sky, as usual great video! I echo everyone else's comments about your thoughtful skepticism and open mindedness. My two cents, I believe that Madonna believes she is a priestess, guru, w/e. You can feel it in her energy and see it in her eyes, she believes she is. But it's a very almost...calculated (or manufactured) presence? Not natural like the gurus we're familiar with; sadhguru, ram dass, etc. idk does anyone also think this way?
“Have you ever met an energy healer, psychic, or witch who seemed to be entirely out of their mind and out of touch with this world? This can be caused by not being well grounded, whereby they’ve ‘fried themselves.’ … This is prolonged magickal impact without being remedied. Grounding also ensures that we don’t burn ourselves out energetically. Too much energy can be damaging to the system. This can manifest in many ways, ranging from being spacey, dizzy, or aching, to, in some worse cases, physical illnesses and mental and emotional imbalances.” - Mat Auryn in the book Psychic Witch. I get these vibes from her tbh. Not to an extreme case, but I feel she could be getting there. I read this passage and immediately thought of this video and had to come back and share, because I found it to be so resonant with the vibe she gave me while watching this. Nothing against her at all. I just hope this isn’t even the case for her, but had to share! I was pretty caught off guard with how soon I thought of this video. Lol.
Hallo Sky, last year I participated one lesson by a colleague of her. He came into the house of a member of the family of my sons wife. It is real, the thoughts are from the past very very far away - it is not easy to combine these two worlds - the thoughts from the past (into their area) and nowerdays (into different countries) . The shaman I spoke with described it to me this way: he told me that he try to make the thoughts and hearts of the clients clean. And in fact, it should do this process a lot of burned-out people to heal their soul . I find it good, that you participated although you are sceptical 👏🏼🤓👍🏼👣😉
walking on glass is just as simple letting go of fear. I had a fear of heights for a long time, so i went skydiving, it didnt work the first time, so i went again, it didnt work the second time either, i still had a fear of heights when being on a ladder or roof, or edge of a mountain, or roller coaster, but my fear never held me back from doing things, i guess i love the adrenalin rush from fear and attempting to conquer it, however, after taking the sky diving coarse and 21 jumps later, the fear has turned to respect and appreciation. when you step out of an airplane at 15000 feat and look down, its beyond words knowing your about to let go and free fall with the possibility of death just ahead, in my 21 jumps, i had 7 equipment malfunctions when, in the moment, never caused me fear or anxiety, when your free falling at 120 miles per hour you dont have time to panic, you just instinctively do what you were taught in the coarse. my first jump i was so frightened i almost pooped myself, for real, and you can see the fear and anxiety on my face, the moment came when the door opened and i almost passed out with fear, the instructor began telling me to move to the door and i pushed backwards, i was attached to his chest and he just pushed us both to the door and we went out, the moment we began to fall, all the fear disappeared and i was in awe, you can see my energy shift in the video and i suddenly had this huge appreciation for life and how fragile it is. you had that same look in your eyes when you stepped onto the glass, when your fear turned to "WOW im doing this". my personal opinion was this, when you asked her if you could do it, she hesitated and then made it look like she was going to guide you and give you the energy to do it because she knew its not going to cut you, the glass just flattens out under your feet and wont cut you, she knew this and didnt want to be outed. so she made it like she helped you. thats just my opinion, since i have a huge sensitive BullS*&t meter, my meter was at 100% with her. thanks for this video. you rock. peace and love. be kind to others, even if they are charlatans, your energy is your own, dont let others energy pull you down. if you treat everything with love, gratitude and compassion, you will be able to do anything. spread joy and smiles.
What are your honest thoughts about Madonna? Should I dig deeper and make a part 2?!
Yess girl
Yes pls ❤ but hope she will be more honest... something just doesnt feel right about her..
Yes, and invite another healer to feel them out:)
Yes and I agree with Cole with that you should invite another healer and let them see what they get off from her.
hell yeah this was so mystical. we defo want a part 2
I know many people who have been scammed out of money from her. The whole point of being a healer is integrating your own pain and past in order to be able to support people through what you’ve learned. I love you for being so honest. It’s important people know how easy it is to be taken advantage of. And she usually does charge people for those power totems!
Thank you Mia for letting us know!!!! ❤️She looks super scammy to begin with.
Now I know even more that you are a good witch Mia (pun intended for facetiousness)
Why must we still gatekeep
The ethereal nature of spiritual work makes it difficult to scrutinize with more scientific methods. This is not to say it is not powerful or real. I know from experience that it is. It's validation comes from the heart however, and the changes that it creates within and around us. Those changes are often subtle but can be very powerful over time like a 1 degree course correction in a sailing vessel. Integrity is of the utmost importance to this process and in order to gauge the integrity of the practitioner, one must look closely to see to what degree the practitioner is invested in a positive outcome for the "patient" (for lack of a better word), and to what degree they are invested in their own ego.
Can you tell us how was your experience with her and the seminar?
Okay, I smell a cult big time. I know because I belonged to one. Clue 1: The way her followers come out to greet you like they did. Clue 2: Not wanting to talk about herself. Something to hide? Maybe from where she came from? Clue 3: Dresses, looks and acts like a cult leader. Clue 4: Cult leaders like to change their identities to hide their past. Clue 5: Supernatural abllities supposidly. Clue 6: Supposedily something to teach but really don't. But do love this one. Yes, make a part two. Skeptical but interesting like all you check out.
It California, many play a role there, hard to tell what is real. I read a super interesting article online about cults and spirituality in LA. There is a big tradition of people seeking it out of historic reasons like wanting a fresh start, the Hollywood scene of money, power as well as failed careers as actors etc. Very fascinating stuff
@@larsstougaard7097 They actually aren't based in LA. They travel all over and were just in the area but cults exist everywhere!
Thank you for sharing!!! What cult were you a part of?
Maybe she don't talk about herself because she don't have her origin story figured out yet 🤣
Bro, don't fall for a cultist again.

So, thousands of years ago Amazonian Witches lived in California-and just one thousand years ago, Amazon Warrior Women lived there too. Never mind that the Amazon forest is 5000 miles away. I think she likes to toy with people and she gets away with it by creating unsettling distractions with her heavy accent, odd word choices and excessive, fluffy ornamentation.
well there is a story of Queen Calif and her griffins.... an all women island, when california was an island. We shove such stories straight into the mythology box though.
Yes, that answer was definitely a red flag!
Agree completely
That's the way she is. What bothers you? Did she ask you to come to heal? If we are mature so be our choices in life.
@@vikramsrinivasan8176 The fact that she's scamming people for their money. That's not ok
She is very physically beautiful but her energy is quite hostile. She is very closed off instead of being open about her spiritual journey. It’s hard to believe someones legit without hearing their stories and why they are the way they are. It’s the stories that make us US. Since she’s hiding her past we really don’t know who she is. When I try tapping into her energy I see a blank wall bc she doesn’t accept anyone in. I hope she opens up her energy centers at some point because closing yourself off like that causes dis-ease. I found myself laughing at some points during this video because it’s kind of awkward how she just lies straight to your face and you go with it to not cause problems 😂 I love you girl, love your content.
Yeah she’s extremely defensive and seems a bit like she feels superior to others
I agree 100%, that's exactly what I was thunking too. OMG !!! YES ,the story is what matters the most, why did she even come on the show if she's not open to talking about her and her own journey.
@@joannedejongh2827 a lot of people use spirituality to help heal their wounds and get to the deep rooted things, once healed we can then show others how to do the same thing, but the fact she’s lying straight to sky’s face isn’t very “spiritual and it shows us that she still needs more healing to do and she shouldn’t be idolized. Usually people seeking the higher ascended path will speak their truth but she hides everything and doesn’t seem very humble. I can get where you’re coming from. Everyone should use discernment but she’s just a little off. I hope nothing but the best for her and I’m not bashing her I’m stating what’s obvious..
@@joannedejongh2827 she blatantly lied multiple times on camera and her big glass walking thing is proven to be a scam anyone can do it
@@jlove24 Defensive? She's not even there 😂😂😂 Sky Life is like "I wanna understand you" and she goes "Your heart understands". It was not even a dodge 😂😂😂it waz the quivalent of multiplying any number by zero. And the one time Sky Life says "I don't know if this is real" and she just goes "Pick a card". 😂😂😂 it edits like a great comedy because of the incongruity. 😂
I love how you always find the perfect balance of curiosity and skepticism while treating everyone with respect 💙
Thank you! Doing my best. My intention really isn't to call anyone out, it's just to understand the truth!

Over the course of many decades, I've spent time with people who I consider to be enlightened. Several common characteristics of these people are: they never claimed enlightenment for themselves. Moreover, they very rarely referenced themselves at all. They are just there, fully present, devoid of ego. After all, if a person says "I am enlightened" who is saying that if not the ego. Enlightenment is a sign that the ego has dissolved.
Yes!
What she shows in that video gravitated more towards narcissism then enlightenment
@@uunn1ttyy Yes a Narc with a bit of an ego issue. Enlightened beings are not interested in material things they are above that level. My personal opinion what a load of BS.
I don’t think our egos are supposed to dissolve. I understand that this is the definition of “enlightenment” in some specific traditions, but I think we should call it something else in English, so as not to confuse it as the ultimate “destination” or realization. It is not. (There is none, beyond our free will choice of how we experience creation.)
@@JB-og8gn - I agree with you. If you have a highly evolved brain and nervous system as humans do, you are going to have an ego. As one of my enlightened teachers explained it, what does dissolve is the habit, the conditioning of the ego always coming to the fore, of always being there. My teacher once joked, if you get pulled over by a cop demanding your ID and wanting to know who you are, it's best if you have an ego that shows up and can answer the cop. But in most situations, the ego is not needed. It is the habit, the conditioning of the ego to always be there that is dissolved.
No harsh feelings, but I think her whole facade of being mystical and 'unknowable' comes off as narcisistic. A big part of spirituality for me is how practice can bring honesty and connection between people.
Maybe I'm just not enlightened enough lol.
I agree. Narcissists will often use confusion (via gaslighting) and I saw sky have visible confusion multiple times, which is a big 🚩 to me
@@laurengeorge4671 Good point!
Yes! Good observation!
Yes!
Completely agree with you. The whole point of becoming 'more' spiritual is to feel closer to people not above or beyond them. It is about returning to source energy / and acting from a place of unconditional love x
As a healer I believe it's important to be transparent with yourself and to specifically share your story because it allows people to connect with you and trust you. She kept telling you to feel and not think but your gut feeling was telling you she wasn't authentic. She idols Madonna which tells me she wants fame. Sky did you resonate with the tarot reading she gave you?
My thoughts as well. Even if she genuinely wants to help people, a big part of it, came off as ego. Much love to you & yours my fellow healer.
The tarot card reading was so general I think it would resonate with literally any woman haha "something happened with a man that you still need to heal from" welcome to a patriarchal society lol
Agreed
Yeah and how evil the singer Madonna is, is creepy lol
@@livingtheskylife women are more free than ever i think , why do you say the patriarchy thing? women hurt men too , and do alot of shit too , its not the sex , why do people follow pheudofeminism?
Sky I'm just so in awe of you asking the hard questions, and not backing down and being honest! I love that level of bravery and integrity. I want to be more like that ❤❤
Using discernment, it is obvious she is a fake person. Do not entertain this liar any further, you have done your job and highlighted this very well. Along your path of being open this is bound to happen, but please continue to do what you do, and find the gems among the wolves. The gems deserve a beautiful being like yourself and deserve to be showcased to help others.
yes, i wouldn't want this woman any where near my spirit again if i were her.
Yes bro she is not enlightened she has only opened 21 chakras and is realm 1 stage four, to be enlightened you have to be realm 7 stage 9 btw shes not high enough to perform miracles
Sky, I hope that you know that you are already fulfilling your wish? You do create those powerful videos which have a positive impact! ❤️
awh thank you! Yes I am :)
Agree. I feel so much happiness every time a get the notification of your vids. I love the content the teachings and the honest curiousity and need to understand cause that's how I feel about the world and you are lucky to get to do and go to places because is what so many of us only can dream about and you go and do it for us to watch and believe it could be real for us two.
I really admire you and appreciate the hard work you put on your channel. Keep going, you are big in every way.
I had the same thought as I was watching the video.. she's already doing it!!
YES! You are ❤️❤️
exactly!!! Sky is brillhant!
It’s odd to me she’s lumping so many different cultures and practices together- Shaman, Hindu, Native American, ect.
Yes, I noticed that and was confused because there wasn't much clarity on her own lineage.
It’s not uncommon for some witches to be eclectic in their influences and styles though. Not saying she isn’t fake. She definitely is full of bs
thats not a problem that much at ppl that know how to control what they say, they do or they pretend to be etc but at ppl that dont ,it is
I have to follow suit and be honest with you…. I think she’s an absolute hoax. But you are the real thing! I love your fair and impartial videos and I love how you allowed her to present herself. We are able to form our own opinions as you present both sides. Thank you so much!!!
That’s my job! I am glad you’re able to come up with your own opinion based on what’s presented 🙏❤️
I got weird vibes from her, I felt she wasn't being entirely truthful
definitely unanswered questions
@@livingtheskylife I felt she was a man!
im less than 60 seconds in and i can already tell you, true heyoka empaths, healers, medicine women or whatever the case, dont go around bragging or speaking about their good works, their good works speak for themselves, if people were healed, we would all know instantly.
Aghhhh oh my gosh. I was at that expo! There were some cool people… but some felt extremely off to me. I also came across several people who I truly believe were full on narcissists
Only several?
She is a great performer. Not a guru, more like a gypsy witch. Nothing wrong about it, but nothing spiritual either. But entertaining, bring on part 2. Love you Sky!
definitely a teacher in her own way!
That's what I felt is a Gypsy vibe and not even a good one
She's deceiving people out of money and creating more spiritual damage!
That is a slurr
‘If you can’t convince them, confuse them’ I totally felt the confusion.
And honestly I felt protective of her, like she had a though life and just found something that made her feel good. But yeah, as of enlightened, her speech and actions were too incoherent for that.
She is part of a sect from Russia, then known as Ashram Schabalaya. Their chief guru was imprisoned, since then the sect has been banned in Russia. Now they are traveling in Europe and America. Unfortunately, all previous journalistic work can only be found in Russian and Ukrainian. In Europe and America they are still too successful with their manipulation. Other mentors of this sect: Aayla, Diana Suemi, Zhannabelle, Lilelle, Anatara recently as Emma, Abay Oyun, Enya. They change their names as soon as the noise around them gets too loud
She has learned some spiritual and healing practices and then created a commercialized ego-based cult to manipulate people and gain followers... she is far from being "enlightened" but has enough knowledge and skills and a flashy persona to lure people in. She reminds me of the past when I encountered spiritual teachers from a cultish Russian spiritual school that mixed shamanism and yoga and other spiritual traditions.
Can you share more about the Russian cult you're talking about?
She is Enlightened but just in a negative way. Black Magician or Satanist is appropriate terminology for her.
@@kristihopkins554 hey hey hey.... Na na na that's a toxic stigma. I've met light workers who are wolf's in sheep's clothing and I've met satanists who were nothing but kind and good to me. People can't be defined by like or dark, that's just not fair... However based off this women yes she's a fake fake fake and a con artist. It's her accent it draws ppl in I bet
Can we judge the persons character, heart, and see if they have good intentions other then discriminating dark workers as if theyr second class? It's rasist somehow... Not this women though she's a con artist
Slavic is also different from Siberian indigenous people.
OMG this was so awkward to watch lol. Sky could see through everything and the woman was trying so hard to keep up an image.
Hahaha many fun awkward moments
After watching this video I listened to the Oh No, Ross and Carrie! episode with Madonna when she still went by Shakuntali Siberia and it is WILD. I thought she seemed sketchy in this video but listening to that confirmed it.
Bless this woman, I can see that she really wants to help and inspire people but it seems that she has some healing to do with inside her self first. It can be easy creating identities to feel fulfilled or to suppress un healed emotion. For anyone that claims to be a healer or person who assist in the growth of people’s well-being I think it’s important to become stable with your identity and emotions first. Being as she doesnt like to speak about herself , is that she may not being truthful with her self and projecting her ideas onto people to “heal” them to feel a sense of healing within her self . But again I don’t know this lady 🤷🏽♀️ but I hope she goes far with wanting to spread light I just hope she can find the light inside as well as out.
P.s Note: people are so fast to claim certain titles like “ shamans” and know little of how much weight the responsibility is and cultures of people that went through years of self healing and teachings from ancestors. I feel it’s something we all can tap into but it takes work , patience and understanding and the will of time.
This is fascinating. I agree with the general sentiment In reading here that she isn’t an authentic shaman/Amazonian/Siberian/Tibetan priestess/witch. However, there is a spiritual role of the Jester/Fool/Performer and I sense a lot of that energy in her. The spiritual value there is pulling out the contrast between real and fake through different types of performance.
I see Madonna as a Spiritual Jester - ever in flux, mashing up magical and mystical sounding words and locations, mixing cultures, and generally being over the top and ridiculous which creates the energy we’re all participating here - what is “real spirituality” and what is fake?
Sky, I wonder what a second part would look like if you told her you knew she wasn’t what she dressed up as, but that she still had an important spiritual role? 🧐
Okay so her and her…followers were at One Love Fest in Arizona. Her girls came up to us and pressured us for our info and I caved and gave it to them. They kept pressuring us to attend their workshops, my friends and I got bad vibes. I am not kidding when they would non stop call me after the festival! They’d call me at 9pm and ask if they could talk. I kept coming up with excuses to why I couldn’t talk. They seriously wouldn’t stop. Then one time when they called I told the girl I didn’t have time because I was going somewhere. She seriously asked me where I was going and what I was doing! I finally blocked their number.
They did the same thing to me!
I started hearing some rumors that they were trafficking women
whoa
same
It’s a cult.
Look man, witches are popular in Romania, she has the accent, she has the con and I think she might not actually have any gifts. Very straightforward and interested more in talking about her persona than answering any questions from Sky.
There are many witches in Romania and only a few of them like the Minca’s are actually true to their practice.
I felt her ridiculously fake from the first second, in her unnaturally "natural" outfit. I tried don't listen to my first feeling, to stay opened, but I felt very soon haha by the Amazonas women and haha by the saint in the jail and haha by the whole show. Dear Sky, YOU could step on the glass without "exotic" belly dance, eye circling and "erotic" poses. You were the REAL attraction in this video. Congratulations.
Thank you for sharing your perspective!
I went to a workshop of hers in London 20 years ago, then she was from Siberia. I was not that into the exercises/methods that she wanted us to do, but the energy was strong, so I was glad I had brought my friend with me who is very level headed.
A friend of mine has been following her everywhere for several years now. I feel like I have lost a friend. Feels like she lost touch with reality and her true self… that’s how you know that it’s a fake one.
Imp, the thing I reacted to most, as a psychology student.. 🤪 Was when you touched her furry arrangements and her ego was hurt (yes she said you were brave), but I think she really felt like u didnt respect her aboveness and for me that boils down to a lack of connection and an entitlement. She could have easily otherwise expressed that she had a boundary about that..
Also, thanks Sky for being so cool and living your best life 👍😀
Yeah I agree
Girl go with your gut feeling. That won’t fail ya. She’s obviously trying to disconnect with her past for whatever reason & doesn’t like answering your questions. Not trying to be mean but it just seems like a facade. Hope she finds out who she really is instead of pretending.
I would love to know the real Madonna! What's her REAL story? I want to understand that.
You should send your video to Logan, the guy with the youtube channel "Observe". He analyzes non-verbal language quite well, it would be interesting to see what he has to say on her!
Yes! Would be very interesting to have him review
The conscious life expo sounds like a cool event, would love to hear more about that! As for (this) Madonna, I think she's a performer.
The Conscious Life Expo is a TRIP haha whacky spiritual stuff around every corner. It is very fun
@@livingtheskylife Nice, I might go next year
Loved the Patreon extra content for this! I love how you come with a healthy skeptical view on all new things spiritual you try!
so happy you liked the Patreon content :) "question everything, be open to anything" is my motto!
Well.. I don't think we should create any concepts about how a guru or enlightenment being should be. The expression of all being are unique, even for someone who is awake for the true self. But I think she gave a really good advice, to feel with our heart, and not use so much the mind. =) Thanks once again for your videos, I really love watching them:)
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
we should hold those who claim to be enlightened exalted beings to a higher standard, for they should have a higher code of ethics. a truly evolved person would just not act like this plain and simple and honestly what it takes to see that is discernment. people can say things that resonate like “feel with your heart, and not use your mind so much” and while that can be great advice in certain situations that also can be extremely shallow, deflecting, and also trying to persuade someone not to trust their intuition telling them something about this person may be off. it is important we don’t just blindly trust everyone in the spiritual community, question everyone and how they react to those questions and their actions in general will reveal who they are, but it is up to us to truly see 👁
I get such scary vibes from this Sky, I'm not even gonna lie.
Thanks for sharing!
Your wish became true - that your videos have the positive effects, because I laughed my ass off during this episode lol!
awh yay! I am so happy to hear that :)
The podcast “oh no Ross and Carrie” did a great episode with two of her ex-followers and later did an interesting interview with her also.
I feel she is fake, I mean she even said I. Not from Siberia yet it was on her paperwork in the beginning. To many condescending acts in my opinion
Yes, you're right. It's exactly 👍
LoL. "I cant tell if what your saying is real..."
"Ok.. You want to choose a card?"
The blew me away. I was like, wtf??!!
Hahahaha
A question this brought up for me, can a person be both? Enlightened guru with healing abilities and also dishonest, secretive, and manipulative.
Very good question. It's all perspective I think.
No
Y'all it's like she went on Etsy and looked up "witchy aesthetic" and is now a guru... I can't. I am not as open minded as sky. Bless her beautiful knowledge seeking soul.
Hahaha thank you for this honest take
@@livingtheskylife thank you for your honest content.
I love how you laugh and she just has a straight face ahahahaha
Hahaha I couldn't help but laugh
What I look for generally in a spiritual teacher is a sense that they believe we're all equal and don't have any air of superiority. I think this is because as you get farther in a spiritual path the more you see that we are all one, and all mirrors of each other. And that leads to a teacher who is almost humble and honored in the help and healing they are allowed to give to people.
This woman certainly isn't it.
A lot of (ok almost all) of these types of videos you do move me to tears. Even if it's not something i typically get into, or even if i'm skeptical. But this one, my spirit not only said she was lying, but i got a super bad feeling about this woman.
I am also a healer. I did not get a feeling of authenticity. I found it odd she won't talk about about herself, her history and her methods and rituals. For example, where is she from? Where is family and what rituals/traditions resonate with her and why? Sharing this information with clients, potential clients and those who are genuinely curious helps them to understand where you are coming from. All of my teachers, healer friends and mentors have always been open with me about their history, methods, rituals and traditions that speak to them any why. I try to do the same with my clients, friends and those who are curious in order to build that rapport.
I think you handled this brilliantly. You were kind and respectful and your audience can see for themselves the creepy inauthentic vibe. Your statement at the end was perfect and you don't need the drama of doing some "GOTCHA" moment.
Great interview! You were open to Madonna and not obtrusive in your skepticism. Madonna was obviously being evasive yet sugar-coating it with a magical cloud of Narcissistic manipulation. Did you pay for your “ blindfolded gift” which she obviously was using to peddle her wares? Or maybe she gave it to you for free since you were filming her and promoting her brand? She is a good example of a “guru” who is both promoting many elements of looking in and finding better expressions of oneself, along with grandiose and imaginative affirmations about what was present in this environment from years past. This supposedly lends her credibility in her “special power” projection. Which makes one believe that it’s true, based on her “dance” of high credibility. But when you do a reality check on her ostentatious self promoting “dance” on the broken glass, you find out it’s a total gimmick. Many people like her are captivating weak powerless people who need to look inside and gain more confidence and more power. This aspect is absolutely the truth. But her mesmerizing, Self Aggrandizing and Avoidance manipulation cannot be missed as traits of a perfect narcissist.
I definitely did not pay for that and would not have but I do know those objects are being sold for a lot of money at the retreats. Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. I know that she is a "real" teacher to many people in her own way and my call is for those people to take their power back!!
@@livingtheskylife yes! Exactly! In alcoholic anonymous the 12 step program, they talk about the importance of separating the “principle”( self transformation) from the person. Too many times the person becomes a “cult leader” and the individuals subjugate themselves to that person. Then the cult leader’s narcissism leads to an inflated and egocentric self image.
This scenario leads to destruction for everyone involved…..everybody suffers the consequences. But observing her confidence and her ability to project herself powerfully is a lesson for us all. But it is also a lesson to have humility and to answer questions without sketchiness/cunningness and to be transparent.
I pulled tarot cards while watching, and I'll leave a second comment with more details, but the cards that came were the 3 of Swords reversed, Judgement reversed, 7 of Swords, 8 of Cups reversed, 8 of Swords, and The Fool. She did not like your curiosity, but she does like to perform. She likes attention, and she is an "energy vampire." She most takes advantage of those who are stuck, suffering, and heartbroken.
Okay, so they only thing I really wanted to add was that it seems she appropriates a lot of information and may be unwilling or unable to stop the games she's playing. There is a sense of power and control dynamics at play as well.
Someone who doesn't want to talk about themselves but wants to know everything about you is a textbook abuser haha
I had a friend just like this and she was a masterful actress/liar
I dont think that's the case across the board lol. But many people who do this may be abusers, yes.
You must have never met a Scorpio, lol. The good ones, I mean.
@@DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight I was just about to say the same thing lol I have Scorpio moon and Venus so I know 😁
I unfortunately know exactly what you mean 😢
I love that you're completely open to new ideas, but at the same time wary of fakes etc! Refreshing and the perfect way to be! :) xx
My general philosophy is, don't try to find if other people are real or fake. Universe (or whatever you call it) will show you (not ego-you) what's the truth when you are ready. "Awakening could happen in 3 secods or it may take 30 years" - Zen proverb.

Another wonderful, well done video. You're such a great journalist! I love your skepticism AND open heart! Please keep up the great work, and can you just have your own show already?! I wish you much success, love, and peace. Be well
Skye I love your honesty and self strength to stand by what you felt hesitant against. I watch all your vids and they are all so magical. You were the empathetic magic in this one! You could feel the “off” vibe. Love you ! ❤️
Another great one Sky. I tend to believe one's enlightenment should make one more approachable and less elitist. The attachment to a spiritual ego seems strong in this one. But hey, I am sure she's actually helped some people - her radical self-love and expression are sure to inspire many - we are all-powerful gurus deep inside right? I do wonder though if her teachings help others find that inner light, as opposed to claiming she has some sort of divine birthright to her enlightenment. If it is the former, and she doesn't harm people with her teachings, then no judgment from here - self-love and radical self-expression are needed more in this world. Thanks again @Sky Life for another fascinating story in the weird wacky world of spiritual healers!
I can at least tell u she clearly felt your scepticism and could have easily not givin you the time of day , she’s definitely not stupid you can clearly see that . Look for a second at all spiritual people they all have haters and people who don’t believe in what they do , that’s part of their journey . Look at her perspective for a second, a woman walking into a house with young people clearly judging her , that’s special and shows enlightenment, she did not once act her frustration out
She is a mix of a lot of things, religions and spiritual practices. She have the Sikh Hat, the Indian Bindu in the Third Eye, than she have the Krishna Peacock Plume in her neck,the shaman drum and she chant like a native american ...
She is a very beautiful woman btw I like her face!
She's mixing a lot of things, so I don't understand her completely. Maybe is only one of many fake New Age Gurus you can find on the net, I don't know what to thinks actually...
Shakuntali Siberia, the woman who put a plank in a puddle and claimed that it was walking on water.
Absolute shyster, she doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
She is part of a cult that’s super dangerous. She used to go by Shakuntali. I see she has rebranded herself, of course. She’s super traumatized and dissociated
Thank you for documenting this. Perfect example of how this society causes strange strange neuroses
Sky its so good to see you questioning her, that you feel the impuls to ask and you do it and not only once but you try to really get an answer. It was visible that she is not used to be questioned the same thing over and over again. She looks beautiful to me, also the whole aesthetic of how she presents herself but the avoidance of the questions make her look dangerous and scammy. The tarotreading was a joke like wtf. It was so general, I had an issue 3 years ago with a man, same with all of my friends. Everybody at some point had probably an issue with a man 3 years ago..in a job or family or wherever.
That they brought their whole stuff to your place is also super weird, its not like ur home is a marketplace now to sell her things just bc she is at ur place..maybe a few pieces are ok but it looked like 2-3 tables full of stuff.
Part 2 would be interesting but I think its not really needed, I dont think she will answer your questions and all she wants to show we already saw anyway 🤷🏻♀️
The tarot reading is so random and the layout of the cards were in piles (I believe), neither individually nor in a spread. It would’ve been better when it's in a spread, but this Madonna woman is randomly reading a tarot card.
I like how you give anyone a chance to teach you something new... But hell no!!! That woman can't even tell you who she is. I love your videos, keep being awesome
i feel she's a beautiful soul ,if she could just let go of the persona and move into authenticity she would become more peaceful in her spirit.....i love her costume...
I love how open and curious you are about something which seems mysterious and unsafe. I find it interesting to observe that most comments are about figuring out if she is a scam or not, about her hiding her identity, etc. If we really want to grow spiritually, I believe that we need to stop being in our minds and embrace the experience with an open heart. Our heart knows if there is some truth to what she is doing. Our heart has the answer, we don’t need to look for an answer in our head by finding hints in the video. Just ask yourself: How did I feel while she was with me? Was I interested to learn more about how she helps people?
If you truly connect to your feelings, you‘ll have the answer. Your feelings don‘t lie.
She's not Shakuntali Siberia anymore? Got a whole new character going.
I love that you made this video and I love even more that all the people in the comments get it 😂
I think she is very hurt, everytime she said “your heart understands me” I felt this sad vibe behind her words, I think that you have to be very hurt to become a scammer like this
I always have some reservations when I see either Guru in front of someone's name or they refer to themselves as such but that's just me!
Not just you. Same here. There is definitely some ego there when people call themselves a guru, and enjoy being seen as such and enjoy having lots of people who praise them. Also, I never understood why people follow gurus, or follow anyone for that matter.
Even though I was raised, by my dad, to be very religious. When I was able to make my own decisions, I looked at a bigger picture. And became more spiritual. I don't know what religion I am. There are certain aspects of every religion I believe in. Most of all I respect everyone and their own beliefs. But for someone who has been living by their gut for 36yrs. My opinion is ...Who knows if this woman is real or fake. I believe there are so many different aspects to spirituality that it may not be the same for everyone. Not to say it's wrong or right either. I could tell you weren't getting into her. You know the answer for yourself. As far as a part 2?!? I love your content. So I say that's up to you.
I think there is a teacher for everyone, even if she is fake those students will learn from her. They may learn good things and not to give their power away and show discernment in the future. It's a great step on the spiritual path to train sovereignty.
@@larsstougaard7097 That is a good point. I didn't think of it on that level. Even the bad experiences have a meaning. I really needed to be reminded of that. Thanks! "Everything happens for a reason."
@@GingerBillyHag yes even if it's terrible and traumatic, it's a soul experience for the journey. Of cause I hope she treats those young women who follow her well, but I'm always skeptical of flamboyant teachers like her engulfed in mystery.
@@larsstougaard7097 I totally agree with this. She is a teacher either way!
Discernment is indeed critical!! Thank you, for being honest and addressing this issue.
Gurus supposedly make themselves look like they have God's powers or above to entice people to join their cults . I've attended one like hers... nythyananda from India. He has escaped to Perunian islands to avoid being procecuted from sex abuse, abuse to children and money laundering. Be always skeptical and avoid groups no matter who Those look for power and wealth are more likely to be cults and not related to genuine enlightenment. You need only yourself to ascend to god's grace and God's gifts ... Heal yourself through nature , self awareness and connect to God through the heart which is unconditional love . Want peace , be peace .Want healing , be compassionate ... only God can provide us with all we need ...forget these identities ... Be your own ...with God
She’s full of it. Too many red flags as you say. And not admitting an objective fact like her previous name and evading all questions? C’mon.
"You don't like curiosity"... this was so funny to me as this is what your entire channel is about. Great video! 💓
I used to perfom at a circus and walking and dancing on glass is not as dangerous as people make it out to be.
We used to walk on glass, it is a state of mind and not so difficult. A few tricks to it.
I have met her many times at festivals... had red flags and never agreed to go to her sessions... Discernment.. for that I am thankful!
This reminded me of Borat the movie. 🤣

I know a sis who’s been scammed big time as well. ~ mamma T
The spontaneous "market" set up was hilarious
As a newcomer to your channel, I deeply appreciate your intellectual honesty and integrity. Thank you.
This person gives 'spiritual healer' and 'guru' a bad name.. I really don't like people who can't give straight answers. It's simple.
She had a young man call me, ( she was there while he made the call ) and try and threaten me . I told them never to contact me again. I was warning people about the scam behaviors . She did not like me telling the truth . She lying . She had to change her name because she got in so much trouble .
Can I just mention the quality of this video is super amazing! The audio is so clear too.
I hear about a lot of experince of peopels! I had an experince too! I have say if God exist i want he to Show me! I was in a Religion (penticostal) there have coming an Energie in my body from my head, i was full with this Energy! After few Minute this Energy have GO away! I cant do IT again to my self! There is something what we call God! Everyone have different experince! I hear peopels who say, have See Jesus! I hear peopels who have see spirits! So much confusion, we cant see same! Our believes are different, our experince different! Lets try to understand each others!
To everyone that's hating on this lady. I think it is not fair to call someone narcissistic that chooses with their free will to talk or not talk about things that consider their own life. Other than if there was a contract in which she agreed on telling every detail of her life. She did seem to be over the top and salesy, but a lot of the things she said made sense. She sounded just like all the other folx on your channel. And don't forget if you are met with someone that laughs you off from the get go, it is really heard not to sound defensive. (I am not sure if that's what happened that day, but at least it looked like that in this video) Trying to make someone look bad, will never make you look good. What you believe is. Whomever believes in her will find their fulfilment. Kudos to her for staying so patient . This channel seems to have become a typical debunking channel that feeds of off making people look bad in their craft according to your own biased judgement and fear. For the sake of content. That is not trying to make the world a better place. That is creating hatred and division as you can clearly see in the comments. It is sad to see this channel become a platform for making people look bad. I also wouldn't let her in my life. But would never use my platform to make people look bad. I love you Sky, but this just made me sad. Much love to everyone...
As a healer,tarot reader and eclectic witch. I agree alot with others. Opening yourself up to clients can not only be transparent, but you also build a trust and bridge to one another. I am also transparent to my own following. I don't work on a big scale as I don't know everything. But I am working on it 🥰 but that's half the battle is when you see "leaders" struggle and open up it helps others connect 🥰
The amount of cultist warnings she gives off is terrifying.
The most obvious giveaway… claiming to be enlightened.
I feel like this one was a really good performer, like an actress trying to make a coin but it gave me a cultish kind of vibe two with the woman's talking for her and the white dresses in the first place you saw her....idk 🤔
Well she doesn't feels like a heart open authentic person! Then for me I don't care about what she claims to be, I trust my gut about people
She is very closed off… The fact that she kept evading questions having to do with herself is definitely a red flag. She is not a healer or enlightened. Just someone out to scam people. 🤷🏼♀️
remember GURU means "Gee you are you." Don't look outside of yourself for answers. They are ALL within you.
YES
Ugggh…the energy from this video made me more frustrated than it did relaxed and it has nothing to do with your questions being unanswered but more because you are right to question her. I saw & felt red flags. Listen to what you are feeling. Your feelings about her are absolutely right. I wish her the utmost best on her journey but she needs to face the truth about being transparent about herself.
“mmmmmm HA!” “Nononono all wrong” me: but her mmm ha was just like yours!
The podcast Oh No Ross and Carrie interviewed her and it was very revealing. Her story started falling apart, she got called out on it, and then spent the last 15 minutes of the interview demanding that it not be released to the public lol. They also interviewed survivors of her cult
Yes I listened to these interviews and thinking of making a part 2
@@livingtheskylife You should.
Sky, as usual great video! I echo everyone else's comments about your thoughtful skepticism and open mindedness. My two cents, I believe that Madonna believes she is a priestess, guru, w/e. You can feel it in her energy and see it in her eyes, she believes she is. But it's a very almost...calculated (or manufactured) presence? Not natural like the gurus we're familiar with; sadhguru, ram dass, etc. idk does anyone also think this way?
“Have you ever met an energy healer, psychic, or witch who seemed to be entirely out of their mind and out of touch with this world? This can be caused by not being well grounded, whereby they’ve ‘fried themselves.’ … This is prolonged magickal impact without being remedied. Grounding also ensures that we don’t burn ourselves out energetically. Too much energy can be damaging to the system. This can manifest in many ways, ranging from being spacey, dizzy, or aching, to, in some worse cases, physical illnesses and mental and emotional imbalances.” - Mat Auryn in the book Psychic Witch. I get these vibes from her tbh. Not to an extreme case, but I feel she could be getting there. I read this passage and immediately thought of this video and had to come back and share, because I found it to be so resonant with the vibe she gave me while watching this. Nothing against her at all. I just hope this isn’t even the case for her, but had to share! I was pretty caught off guard with how soon I thought of this video. Lol.
Hallo Sky, last year I participated one lesson by a colleague of her. He came into the house of a member of the family of my sons wife. It is real, the thoughts are from the past very very far away - it is not easy to combine these two worlds - the thoughts from the past (into their area) and nowerdays (into different countries) . The shaman I spoke with described it to me this way: he told me that he try to make the thoughts and hearts of the clients clean. And in fact, it should do this process a lot of burned-out people to heal their soul . I find it good, that you participated although you are sceptical 👏🏼🤓👍🏼👣😉
walking on glass is just as simple letting go of fear. I had a fear of heights for a long time, so i went skydiving, it didnt work the first time, so i went again, it didnt work the second time either, i still had a fear of heights when being on a ladder or roof, or edge of a mountain, or roller coaster, but my fear never held me back from doing things, i guess i love the adrenalin rush from fear and attempting to conquer it, however, after taking the sky diving coarse and 21 jumps later, the fear has turned to respect and appreciation. when you step out of an airplane at 15000 feat and look down, its beyond words knowing your about to let go and free fall with the possibility of death just ahead, in my 21 jumps, i had 7 equipment malfunctions when, in the moment, never caused me fear or anxiety, when your free falling at 120 miles per hour you dont have time to panic, you just instinctively do what you were taught in the coarse. my first jump i was so frightened i almost pooped myself, for real, and you can see the fear and anxiety on my face, the moment came when the door opened and i almost passed out with fear, the instructor began telling me to move to the door and i pushed backwards, i was attached to his chest and he just pushed us both to the door and we went out, the moment we began to fall, all the fear disappeared and i was in awe, you can see my energy shift in the video and i suddenly had this huge appreciation for life and how fragile it is. you had that same look in your eyes when you stepped onto the glass, when your fear turned to "WOW im doing this". my personal opinion was this, when you asked her if you could do it, she hesitated and then made it look like she was going to guide you and give you the energy to do it because she knew its not going to cut you, the glass just flattens out under your feet and wont cut you, she knew this and didnt want to be outed. so she made it like she helped you. thats just my opinion, since i have a huge sensitive BullS*&t meter, my meter was at 100% with her. thanks for this video. you rock. peace and love. be kind to others, even if they are charlatans, your energy is your own, dont let others energy pull you down. if you treat everything with love, gratitude and compassion, you will be able to do anything. spread joy and smiles.
Nobody
