Who am I?

My truth belongs to living in balance. To questioning on every core level that I can, what it means in my heart and spirit to live my truth in society today. I am often overwhelmed with a feeling of not knowing where to begin...in helping a society that I feel has lost it's roots. I strive to better understand what it is that could help me to help others in our path as wounded healers. The striving has brought me into deeply devoting my path to learning the meaning of "Creatress." What do I bring into this world? And may it be an expression of awakened beauty. When I feel empowered to spread love, sincerity, joy and beauty I feel that I am right where I need to be, living my truth.
One way of living that I feel I come from is the ways of the living close with the earth, the teachings of our indigenous elders and the honoring of all earth's living creatures. Having a relationship with Nature on a daily basis is completely essential for my well being to shine. Another piece that offers me help in understanding the world is the path of learning spirit through our body in Yoga and Meditation. Through conscious body awareness I feel that I learn to be truly alive. When I merge this conscious body awareness with the natural world, moving with the awareness of an animal, with complete presence, I feel the closeness of spirit within me. I feel I am the land. I am the Earth. One body, one heart, one mind.
In this journey of experiencing spirit through the body, the expression of music, dance, and painting are ways I open myself to being a channel to express what I experience as divine. I dream of living in a culture that acknowledges with all its heart that spirituality, music, art, dance, and our connection with the land is as essential as our breath.
