This blog attempts to chronicle my interest and growing visibility in the shaman's way. As a child I was very open to spirit worlds, and this quality was fostered and nurtured by my parents, my mother especially. In my twenties I found myself immersed in the study and practice of Polarity Therapy, a holistic system of bodywork, counseling, yoga, and nutrition developed by Dr. Randolph Stone. I began my Polarity Practice in 2002, and it is from this point that shamanic doors began to open and I began to journey with my clients. In 2009 a radical series of life events and unexpected doors began to fly open in fast succession. The most deeply touching is that of the whirling dervish, where I was trained and initiated in a five month intensive process. Following the blazing path opened to me, I now work with daily practices combining many forms of bodywork, meditation, yoga, and ecstatic dance. I remain true to the beating heart of Ayahuasca on a personal level, and to the community of the Shuar from which she came to me. My doctorate on spiritual and artistic practice will be completed in 2014. Please share in my personal journey, it is ever growing and ever changing. As we each awaken and New Earth is being co-created, every one of your comments are most welcome. In Eternal Peace~ Hannah Skywalker Dancing Heart

Big Heart
Bright Red! Love opens in me. Spiraling back to places I have been before, from new vantage points. The quiet peace of my home in Cambridge, the flowering of Spring, stillness, it reminds me of all the lovely spring evenings I've sat in quiet stillness just staring into nothing, being a faery at peace. And the moments they accumulate and I am an infant knowing peace, and an ancient grandmother knowing peace, and a woman right now knowing peace, and the greatness of it breaks my heart.
I am speaking this moment of surrender. Surrender to the flowing tide of life, the friends who we love so deeply, the moments which can not be captured again, but are eternal in their happening, and the love which is all of us, so huge that to hold it is ridiculous, surrender to it as it passes through. I sometimes wish that all the people I love all over the planet, in the Americas north and south, in the middle east, in Africa, in Europe, those I have not yet met, could all just be in one space for a moment, to just shower with glory and share. And I miss all of you, and I love all of you, and I am, in my aloneness this moment, deeply connected to each of you, and the greatness of it slices through my heart and I bleed for you, I love you in my blood.
There is this uncertainty, and a momentum which comes with it, and a flowering open which we rarely see from the moment, and the dailyness, and it mixes and montages and collages of everywhere every moment flood the web of life and it spins, zingy pulsing ripples, and we are the ocean of love manifest in form.
There is much to write about, many drafts on techniques and contemplations are started, sustainability and community, and yet, today, all I wish is to send my eyes to you and to shower you with the love flowing through me. May this be my purpose, to love completely and freely and abundantly. May we all be blessed.
The beauty of the heart is the lasting beauty: its lips give to drink of the water of life. Truly it is the water, that which pours, and the one who drinks. All three become one when your talisman is shattered. That oneness you can't know by reasoning.
It was a big weekend for hearts opening and fire pouring through humanity. <3
“If you're really listening, if you're awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold evermore wonders.” ― Andrew Harvey

Truly it is the water,

and the one who drinks.
All three become one when
your talisman is shattered.
That oneness
