About This Blog

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

Stillness

Wow things are moving fast!  Momentum is building in peoples hearts, and in order to keep it going, to actually build our new communities, we must anchor our commitment to New Earth and prepare for the long haul.  One of the ways we can do this is by going into stillness.


Our bodies are electromagnetic, they exist through the interference patterns of waves of energy.  These waves take many forms, and there are multiple maps across healing systems which are all correct.  In Chinese medicine we have the meridians, in Quantum Healing and Reiki (and other energetic perspectives) we have the astral fields, in Polarity Therapy we have the elementals/chakras/east west currents/long lines/fire spirals/star patterns/and multiple geometric relationships, in western biology we have piezioelectrical currents in the muscles and nervous system responses which respond to nuerotransmitters from our brains.

In order to purge and heal our systems, both social and personal, we need to allow space in.  Our bodies are running massive amounts of energy through them and without space, time and repetition they will not hold up to the changes.  There are many ways to let spirit in so that she can do her work.  If you meditate, try resting in the interior spaces for several hours or more.  If you do not, now would be a good time to seek out a practice.  Mantras can be helpful to those who are new to meditation and anything can be a mantra.  Think of the most beautiful thought, distill it into a few short words, check that it expands your heart to think it, and repeat it continuously.  Hold a crystal or multiple crystals in your hands, rest them on your belly or heart, put them in the bath with you, and release to the re-patterning.


The way the nervous system works is to create grooves which information runs through.  These grooves too often become hard wired through traumatic experience....we come up on a situation, we respond in flight/flight/freeze, and we are protected.  The body learns this as effectiveness and repeats the pattern under additional stresses thus deepening the groove.  As you relax into stillness your trauma grooves will likely come into activation.  If you listen you will notice the activation as trembling, tingling sensations, icy-hot flushes, itching that grows and expands, or dull aches which move through. Hang out with these, observe and do not judge, they are coming to activation in order to clear.  As we allow them space to express they can let go.  New information then comes in. Sensations of overall warmth, light coming through the top of the head, the heart glowing, and even specific release from old pains will begin to materialize.  You may even see visions!

Marianna Sheldrake writes, "All the the energy sources that man has ingeniously 'invented' have only been manipulations of the existing energy of the Universe.  Super energy is the basis for all spiritual healing."  Lao Tzu speaks, "If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself.  If you want to eliminate all the suffering in the world then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself.  Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation."  This is your light body, this is our light body.  Our healing is not about blissing out and forgetting our earth, our fellow humanity.  It is about deep and lasting structures of joy!  Blog it. Post it. Dance it. But most importantly, rest with it.  As we speak, work, heal, and create, make sure to allow time to connect your light body to the universal grid in every way that you can. The biggest breakers and waves begin as a tiny impulse in the heart of the ocean, they are born of stillness.  Selam~
