Creating:
I want to create a sound sprit for myself. One that is at peace and no longer feels the need to control everything or to feel guilt. I want to be a balanced, stable member of the community that helps people to comprehend the importance of the roles we all play in personal and social evolution as a preparation for our ascension to a higher plane of understanding.

Awakening:
My family was never religious and for a long time the my idea of "religion" being the same as "spirituality." I have always collected stones and crystals, even when I was little. I have also always had headaches and migraines since I was about 9 years old, and have seen practically every doctor. None of them was successful in helping me, so I started casually looking in to the use of herbal remedies as well as started acupuncture treatment and body work. In about 2005, I resumed a regular yoga and pilates practice that included meditation. Later that same year, my former roommate and I were searching online for alternative healers in our neighborhood and stumbled across the Indigo Answers website. The owner of the site offered Reiki classes, so my roommate and I started going. She also was the founder and head administrator of Light and Energy Workers Association (LEWA), and I joined that group, attending a plethora of alternative healing lectures. I have found that pushing through the boundaries and negativity that has been ingrained in me (and that I often have a tendency to perpetuate) is an arduous and painful process, but also is essential for discovering and understanding the self. My spirit grows and learns every day from every positive or negative action or reaction that I express. I am deeply indebted to those people who have stuck by me all this time and who encouraged me to break the ties to my own self-imposed boundaries, to the ego, and to open myself to my own spiritual growth and development. May it never end.
