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

Chocolatey Stars

Tonight I am awake with the earth.  Her winds blow across my courtyard and through the wide open doors and windows.  Her stars shine down upon me in a glittery canopy of chaos and peace.  Her plants whisper their night secrets.  Incense burns and candles flicker in the few hours of darkness between the gloamings.  I am awake.  And in the moment I lounge about on my favourite chair listing to good music, doing a bit of laundry, sewing and hemming a favourite costume, and baking a cake.  Time has spiralled into the new moon energy of July, and I fly between the slips into - space - for everything.


Long ago when I dwelled in the Appalachian foothills of North Carolina I cooked everything I ate, with gentleness, sprouted in the sun...  It was then I learned about the sattva of food preparation: the beauty of going slow, attending to every detail with love, savouring the moments of no time when waiting for gee to boil, milk to clot, sprout tips to turn green.  Tonight I wake up to the sense memory of this and once again, I bake, and rest, and nourish the woman who loves endlessness.
