ABOUT WANDERINGYOGILEE
We all have issues in the tissues
I had a bad accident in my early 40s. It completely threw me off my material trajectory and into exploring options besides a titanium rod down my back. I discovered an essential truth – our body speaks to and for us, its language is the first we learn. We ignore it at our peril. Our body is the physical container for our emotional & spiritual wellness. It stores our deepest internal narratives, ones we hide from everyone including ourselves.
My yoga teaching training began, migrating from occasional yoga and regular meditation. My body and mind became, and are still the strongest and most flexible they have ever been.
I explored many energetic healing tools and practices, finding some jewels and others that glittered but were not gold. I searched for, and came home to, those that gave me answers for all my layers, not just some. I dived deep into the Wu-Xing, studied TCM in Asia, and became a yogi teacher.
My first life lesson
Question everything. Not because someone is lying. I do think that the answers to life are for the most part a little more complicated than a rusty old saying. This questioning was not welcomed in my family of origin, and I left at an early age. When the internet turned up, it was an answer to this curious yogi’s prayers. Access to wisdom from across the globe, it enabled me to understand those that were universal truths, and those that were contemporary conveniences or mores, destined for page 34 and beyond on google. I went to University, completed a Bachelor and Honours degree in Economics, and began my ‘work’ career.
As we are within, so we are without…
Go Within to be Happy Without
My life trajectory was a materially successful one. I had it all. House, car, successful management consultant, travelling the world. Friends, family. I left my partner of 10 years, when I discovered I was living with a child, and I had just given birth to one. Emotionally together, on the outside – social media had a term for me – cougar. I filled that title well, then one day, decided to see a psychotherapist. For a tune up, I said to my friends.
I tore this life all down in the space of a few years, began meditation & yoga in earnest, found a master. I fell in love again, moved to Asia to support my partner’s career. This relationship faded like an old photo, over 18 years. My exploration of inner space of spirit and peace helped me thrive beyond his blossoming narcissism.
My adventures and life experience showed me my true home, my happy place and it is within. It had been there all the time, waiting for me.
Like it waits for you.
