I was born and raised in the
antiestablishment atmosphere of the 50’s and 60’s.
My surfing family lived on some of the finest beaches in California,
Hawai’i and Australia long before they were known and discovered
by pop culture.
However, in
the beauty of these beach paradises, I began to realize that the
outer world wasn’t reflecting the inner. My family life
was more akin to Paradise Lost than the Garden of Eden. So by
my early 30s, I began a 24 year journey to reclaim the inner Paradise
of my authentic heart’s connection with Divine Source that
is a soulright for all humans. I was blessed to work and play
with many Spiritual and Healing Masters during this time, in particular
two very wise Mystics/Spiritual Teachers, David Clarke (now deceased)
and gia combs-ramirez. Often my own Spiritual InnerFaith was tested
again and again. There were many tears and much laughter.
Over time, I came to recognize
that one of my greatest tools on my healing journey was sacred
ceremony. I began to deeply honor my own need for sacred ceremony
in my life, not as an end in itself, but as a portal to my Higher
Divine Self and Divine Guidance from my Guides, Ancestors, and
Nature Beings, as well as the Divine Creation Source.
Upon returning to Hawai’i
in 2001, I studied on the Big Island with a highly open-minded
heart-based Kumu Hula, Raylene Ha’alelea Kawaiae’a.
Initially, I learned within the ancient Hawaiian culture how to
intimately experience my Soul’s human existence as neither
superior nor separate from Mother Earth and all her abundant Nature
Kingdom. In fact, through practicing the sacred ceremony of hula
and chant, I fully experienced how our physical world can actually
heal, as well as what it is to work harmoniously with both the
seen & unseen world of The Nature Spirits, The Nature Kingdom
& The Ancestors; where the very real potential to live in
a world of “always enough for everyone” is patiently
waiting for us. Fortunately for me, one does not have to be of
Hawaiian blood to embrace the essence and great wisdom of the
Hawaiian culture, teachings and traditions. If you show up with
a deep respect & honoring, an open mind & heart with a
committed willingness to expand beyond the limited perceptions
of our Western culture, you may find who you really are &
your sacred place here.
In 2003, one of my spiritual
teachers, gia, brought in a new energy healing protocol called
Crystalline Consciousness Technique. I studied this technique
and in applying it in many ways, I have experienced new and profound
shifts of clarity and a greater ease with my own life’s
transitions. This has led to an expanded sense of awareness and
navigation of the “ordinary” world with a more courageous
heart. Now when my inner tsunamis of raw emotional feelings threaten
to overwhelm, I have found that CCT helps to clarify my intentions
and create a safe and sacred space or container for my own personal
and spiritual growth. Therefore I offer a sacred CCT
container and clarification of intentions in all of my ceremonies
with others.
Since Energy-Love-Intent rule
in all time/space realities,
I have found that working with energy and the divine power of
my intentions
has improved the quality of my life beyond anything I ever imagined.
I have found that my heart keeps expanding with courage,
kindness, forgiveness, compassion and love for
myself and all others here with ease.
Now as I move into the next
phase of my life, I am ready to offer my wisdom and tools in service
to others. The inner rebel has flowered into the spiritual leader,
whose heart now sings.
