Individuality and collectivity. Self realization and balanced interdependence.

Check out the post to scroll through!!• Felt theory = Histories, especially those shaped by colonialism and trauma, are experienced, remembered, and communicated through feelings as much as through intellectual understanding 💫

Felt theory was introduced by Dian Million [Athabascan], and is a concept that emphasizes the importance of emotions, intuition, and affect in understanding and conveying experiences, particularly in the context of Indigenous histories and epistemologies.

Traditional Western frameworks that prioritize objectivity and rationality. Felt theory highlights that emotions and lived experiences are valid and essential sources of knowledge.

Tabitha Robin Martens explores felt theory in “Food as helper, food as healer: How Cree Elders incorporate food into helping and healing practices and the implications for Indigenous food sovereignty” (2021), which you can openly access!

By centering feelings, intuition, ancestry, and thought together, felt theory provides a framework for understanding and expressing the interconnectedness of personal, cultural, and historical narratives, particularly as a means of healing and decolonization.

What forces are you aligned with?

Are you consciously aligning with certain forces and energies or are you subconsciously feeding forces you actually don’t want to feed?

What are you nurturing, connecting to and cultivating within?

What forces do you want to align with?

Stay tuned for opportunities to practice with me online! My healing arts & education studio, Akasha Healing Arts, is a wildly inclusive, deeply spiritual, and appropriately silly space for seekers, qu**rs, helpers, and any curious and passionate souls all anchored in the five elemental creation structure.

I have been wanting to offer a class like this for so long! The braiding of mantra, prayer, contemplation and meditation are deep inner attunement practices. I share yoga because I have a passion for guiding others toward their Inner Self and Inner Teacher. The streams of wisdom I am steeped in tell us that these times are for restoration and repair and reconnection with our sacred intuition.

I’m looking at you systems of harm.

That’s right, let’s reclaim, get together, and find what is sacred for us as we collectively chart a new way forward. There is so much within to uncover and I believe now is the time for us to go deeper.

As with many of my offerings, we will approach this series through a five element journey. My guiding quest at this time is questioning how we can participate in the evolution of humanity through our spiritual practices.

This series is for newbies, oldies, and everyone in between!

Explore with me?

My inbox is open if you have any questions.

Much love!
Zaria

I’m most tapped in and flowing when I’m working with people one on one. The knowing comes through, the connection between me and those I work with is often deep and easeful even when we are working with heavier things. Have you been look to include yoga therapy or sound healing into your healing journey? Maybe you want to learn more about how yoga’s worldview can help you feel and live more free and guided by intuition. Perhaps sound can help you rest deeply and remember your brilliance.

Like this post and I’ll appear like a little fairy 🧚‍♀️

Study. Inner work. Laughs and play. Bringing the light of awareness to the shadows. Good stuff!

We get to choose what we share with the world and when. I am over cultures of abuse. While I’m all about the whimsy, I have little tolerance for the absurd these days.

Think for yourself. Be wary of those demanding you speak, act, dress, or present a certain way in order to fit it. Be wary of spaces that do not encourage you to reflect on how things sit with you. Be wary of spaces that demand and dominate a single, narrow narrative, that can’t handle nuance or exploration of difference.

May I be anchored in my values, laugh when I flail, and Trust that Being Within

Im actually most afraid of speaking of this, because I’ve always gotten ridiculed. People — even in yoga spaces — roll their eyes when I’m just trying to speak normally about things u want to talk about. Integrity is more important! When I speak of the Divine, I speak in terms of Yoga and Ta**ra Yoga in particular. The Self Realization we talk about is of the inner and outer. There is awareness of the inter connectivity of all things and our source in the subtle most element, that of Akash or ether. The Divine in this understanding is not a “sky daddy”. We are pointing to the principles of the laws of the cosmos. A spectrum experience from void to subtle to dense. Each of us is a spark of God, as within so without. Realizing our own Divinity is realizing our own Self as ultimately the source of the cosmos. And we understand we are in a temporary, particular manifestation, but we will once again desolve back into the Universal once we leave our bodies. Reincarnation is an understood part of this process for us. We are always changing forms. In my view, the Divine, Goddess, God, (beyond gender) is a consciousness-awareness-force that permeates all things and is all things. It is the subtle most part of myself. It is not a fantasy but realized through the body, senses, and connection with the world of Nature. It can be directly experienced by humans. Our True Self then emerges as the deeper, wiser, intuitive voice within. The ego self is our temporary personality earth navigating friend, while our True Self is something deeper and tapped into the Universal Substratum. So, not god in the contemporary Christian sky daddy sense. Yoga, Ta**ra, and global shamanic understandings have changed my life from the conditioning of my youth.

Are you looking for support? Have you been feeling a bit frazzled or overwhelmed? Perhaps a bit heavy and blue. Seasonally, systemically, and humanly... this makes sense!

I support folks through the stuff of life by blending Yoga Therapy & Sound Healing. I find that I often work with folks who have been through similar experiences as me, so my work tends to focus on trauma, grief, anxiety and depression.

Or folks like nurses, teachers, and social workers find their way to me, as yoga therapy has a lot to offer those of us in service roles.

Because I know the dark and spooky I have a knack for bringing levity to the heavy and for helping people grow past challenges and deepen their relationship with themselves.

I have tools that can help you feel better in your body, have a clearer mind, more steady vitality and increased access to creativity. The best part? All of the magic is already within you.

No yoga experience required and we will always co-create the journey.

So, how can I help? How can I curate care just for you? Truly, I am just waiting to whip you up a special recipe.

Stay lovely, because I know you already are!

Warm Hugs,
Zaria
