Aloha Love Heals

A TRUE FAERY’S TALE…

Once upon a time there was a young girl who often felt sad, lonely and in despair. She was extremely sensitive. She lived a lot of her life in fantasy to escape the pain and fear that she felt. She buried herself in books, television and movies. She loved fairytales and often would fantasize about being rescued by her own knight in shining armor. As she grew older she would escape her life by travelling and getting involved in acting, she got to pretend to be other people, recreate herself with each new person she met and didn’t have to face her own feelings. At some point the pain got so great that she even gave up on her dreams of being a great actress. She withdrew into herself and began to live a shallow existence and ultimately a lie.

No one knew of the true anguish she experienced, she hid it well and kept herself distracted and busy by trying to save the world. She became an environmental activist and very involved community member. She owned a successful business, was throwing big amazing parties, was meeting people from all over the world and yet she was still unhappy, sad and lonely and was even starting to get angry and didn’t know why. One day she met a handsome Knight, who did save her in a way, by opening the door for her to have a relationship with God. Shortly after, she met a great Shaman who took both her and her Knight on a deep and long healing journey. She studied the Hawaiian Healing Arts with fervor and passion hoping to finally fix and escape the pain that she felt. On this journey she met a Divine Soul Sister with the most angelic voice, who would become one of her greatest allies on the epic journey of her healing path. Even though she did experience immense love and joy through the healing spirit of Aloha, the pain inside grew even bigger and she couldn’t escape the feeling that something was still missing. Something was calling her home…

At a great gathering of Wise Women, she participated in a shamanic journey, where her spirit guide, the moose, told her it was time to go back to her birthplace. She left her Knight and her community to venture across the majestic Rockies to settle in the comfortable and cozy cave in her parent’s basement. During this time she reconnected with her blood family, looked after her young siblings and helped nurse her ailing grandmother back to health. Still, she was not happy, something was missing…

One evening she had an enchanting dance with a playful loving Fool who took her to meet a great Wizard and true WarriorSage. The Wizard promised to reveal to her the deep mysteries of life and help her return home to her true essence and to the great Source. This was an offer she couldn’t refuse, no matter what the price! Sure enough he was right, she had a great awakening and connected deeply with her true Self. She was so ecstatic and grateful that she vowed to dedicate her life to help others do the same and she pledged her faithful allegiance to the great Wizard and the Path of the WarriorSage. However, this was not ‘the fix’ that she had hoped for. When she returned home life was still the same and the unhappiness began to slowly seep in again. Luckily, her vow helped to guide her and keep her committed to walking this new Path. The great Wizard and his Allies saw something special in her and believed in her even when she didn’t. They offered her support and guidance to continue to walk the challenging and rewarding path of Truth, Freedom and Love.

This path was not an easy one. She encountered many outer and inner demons and walked through many dark nights of her soul. Some nights she barely made it out alive. At times she faltered and lost her way, but somehow she always managed to get herself back on the path (often with a little or a lot of help). It was during this time that her Angelic Soul Sister opened the door to the Realm of Possibility. Through the guidance of many great Teachers, she began to free herself from self-imposed limitations and cultivate the skills for creating her own life. Life was still not perfect, and the way still difficult, she stumbled and fell often. Miraculously, each time she picked her self up, recovered herself and continued to walk the path, she grew stronger and more alive.

One day, the Great Wizard decided she was ready for a new level of initiation into her self-mastery and introduced her to his great teacher, the Grande Master. This began a wild and fascinating journey into the workings of her mind. In her exploration she began to discover that all of her suffering originated in her mind and she learned that she had created her own prison and quite astonishingly that she held the key. Even though a part of her still wanted to blame all the trolls and bad guys, she realized that the more responsibility she took for her own life and her own happiness the more freedom and choice she had. As she began to awaken to this new level of freedom and choice, she started to look at the things that brought her the greatest joy and made them a priority in her life. She began her mornings with dancing or yoga, she took regular walks in nature, she joined a choir so she could sing her heart out, she began to Shimmy for her Soul (belly dancing), she spent more quality time with her family and friends. She grew stronger, healthier and more vital every day.

One morning, she realized how strong and vital she felt from her yoga practice and decided she wanted to share the benefits of yoga with others. She mentioned to the Grande Master that she wanted to take her yoga practice to a new level and he guided her to the Supreme Guru of Compassion, Kripalu. She was so touched and inspired by Kripalu’s message of love and compassion that she went to live at his center to immerse herself in the study of yoga and to receive the blessing to share yoga with the world. At the end of her time at the Kripalu Center, while kayaking amongst the lotus flowers, she received the message that it was now time to move back to the magical faeryland of Mt. Elphinstone.

With the loving support of her family and community, she made the big move back ‘home’. Where she takes long walks along the beach or in the forest, dances with her faery friends, teaches yoga, writes, offers guidance and support to others to heal and grow, and explores the wonders of this life. Her heart is now overflowing with joy and gratitude for being alive!

So as you can see, it took many years of dedicated practice, service and a lot of help and support from family, friends and teachers to get to a point where she truly knew who and what she was, fully embraced life and was giving her gifts and living her truest heart’s calling. And it was worth it!

She now lives happily, with immense gratitude and reality, in a magical faery forest by the sea, where she shares her inspiration, wisdom and gifts with whoever is ready and willing to receive them.

There is no end…
