The Dragon Path

The Dragon is the master of all elements. Just as the serpent lies coiled at the base of the spine, when that life force continually circulates and rises beyond the crown, it gains wings  becoming the Dragon. To embody the Dragon is to awaken the living current of Divine Power within the sacred force that has slept coiled at the base of the spine, waiting for remembrance. When the Dragon rises, illusion burns away and truth takes its rightful throne. You begin to see life clearly, not through fear but through divine knowing. The heart becomes vast and unshakable, able to hold both fire and tenderness. Power no longer exists outside of you; it becomes an expression of your essence, grounded in purpose, guided by integrity. The voice becomes an instrument of Spirit carrying sound, word, and silence as vehicles of creation. Energy circulates through all centers of the body, activating psychic and spiritual gifts, connecting heaven and earth through your being. The Dragon moves as confidence, clarity, and sacred command, transforming personal will into divine will until every action, breath, and creation becomes ceremony. To embody the Dragon is to remember who you are fully human, fully divine, rooted in love, and aflame with purpose. And we are guided through this process through the elements.

About your Spiritual Teacher 

Akiyla McQueen has walked the path of devotion and initiation for over 17 years, answering the call to awaken, embody, and transmit the sacred mysteries and share that with the community. Beginning her journey at 19, she has cultivated her mastery across the realms of birth and death, serving as a doula guiding new life into the world, and as a hospice companion holding souls in transition and everything in between

Akiyla’s work spans intuitive counseling, guided meditation and subconscious reprogramming mastery, music therapy, sound healing, reiki mastery, shamanic practice, divination, channeling, and spiritual community leadership, blending science, art, and sacred transmission. She is a vessel of the Dragon lineage, guiding initiates through the alchemy of the elements, the ascension of consciousness, and the embodiment of divine law.

Her teachings are informed by her Human Design as a Manifestor and the Right Angle Cross of Rulership, which gifts her the ability to catalyze transformation, inspire action, and awaken sovereignty in those she guides.

Through ritual, ceremony, and experiential practice, Akiyla cultivates gnosis, energetic mastery, and embodiment of spiritual law in her students, preparing them to walk as oracles, shamans (if called), healers, and keepers of the sacred flame. Her presence is both fierce and tender a living reflection of the Dragon’s power, wisdom, and grace. Those who study with her are called not only to learn, but to become: to rise from the serpent at the base of the spine into the full, winged Dragon a being of clarity, purpose, and aligned power.
