OUR Roots
The Healing Journey has Begun
When the sun peeks through the tops of the trees and you can feel the roots beneath you. When the call of Mother Earth can no longer be denied. When you can feel how everything is connected and the energy pulls you, and you are no longer only you, but you are everything and everything is you…
I remember the first time I felt connected to nature. I was running through the tall grass, barefoot, and wearing a little sundress my mother had made. It was sunny and everything seemed bright and sparkling. I could feel the warm air on my skin and the earth under my feet. There were no thoughts, only bliss. I was completely at peace and there was nothing else. Just me, the earth, the air, the plants and my little sundress. I was connected to everything and everything was a part of me. Then something happened. As I ran barefoot in the tall grass, I stepped on a bee. The sting hit hard like a lightning strike. I fell to the ground and cried out. My uncle came running and before I knew it he was mashing up flowers with some mud and rubbed it into my foot. That was it. I was feeling better and back to it. I wouldn’t know it then, but this would have a profound effect on me later.
When I got a little older, some terrible things happened to me. I began to make myself smaller and smaller, so as not to not attract too much attention. This didn’t work. But… I traveled in my mind and I was convinced I had magical powers. I could move things with my mind, I could travel outside of my body, and that I was a powerful person.
Later on, as an adult. that was the place I would strive to get back to. But, as with any story, life had been altered. For a very long time, there was a struggle to get back to my roots. Not necessarily my family roots, but my physical Roots. To feel the pull of the Earth in my physical body and to know that Energetic Connection that is always there, just waiting to be remembered.
There is a long story here. Not just for me but for us. We all have a story. Full of pain and longing, mixed with love and joy, fear and anxiety, disconnection and realignment. My story is full of all these things and more. For many years I made poor decisions about my health and well-being. I suffered deep traumas. I struggled with addiction and chased the pain into the darkness I couldn’t see a way out of. So I numbed it and ignored it until the pain got so great, that I made a decision. A decision to seek out the Light, grasp it, and Hold Fast. I knew that everything was about to change and I embraced it.
I tell you these things to be as honest as possible with you all. To show you that ANYONE can begin their healing journey from anywhere they are in life. I am here to show you, that we ALL have the power to heal ourselves & live the most beautiful life.
I have been so lucky over these many years to meet the most beautiful humans and learn some life-giving Healing Modalities that I use daily to enhance my life and help others to do the same. I became a Reiki Master/Teacher, Meditation Guide, and Somatics Practitioner, and got back to my roots as an Herbalist, so that I can pass what I know on to others. I have reconnected and aligned myself with Mother Earth and Source. I am here to share what I have learned so that the Healing Energy can flow out from me to the Earth and her people and to Serve, so that you may send it out too. Like the pebble in the pond, rippling out to cover more and more space.
We, collectively, can change the World. We can help each other heal and raise the vibration on this planet. Let’s Grow!!
