ATR Profile Narrative: RJ is a 31-year-old transgender/nonbinary individual who identifies as queer and transmasculine. Their pronouns are he/him/they/them. RJ currently is living in Nashville, Tennessee, and is practicing IFA. For RJ his practice shows up daily through blessings, clarifications, direction, and/or confirmation of something in his life. He also makes sure to spend time by his alter daily connecting with his ancestors and spiritual guides. IFA’s impact on his life has been grander than they can grasp. RJ expresses his gratitude towards his spiritual awakenings and describes his experience as a deep spiritual roller coaster ride. Through IFA they have felt higher vibrations and have been able to see their spiritual growth and that of their ancestor’s lineage through shadow work. His advice to those interested in practicing an ATR or ADR is to form a close relationship with an elder or godparent, someone who can guide you in the right direction. Do not get lost in someone else’s projection of your spiritual journey. Most importantly RJ recommends cultivating your relationship with your spiritual guides and giving thanks to your ancestors for leading the way.
