“Someone finally gets me!” is what most people say when they cross paths with LiYana, whether they are (as they have been) edge-cutting entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, artists, healers, social activists, mothers returning to work or balancing career with family, Fortune 500 leaders, and even a shaman or two.

LiYana is a Holistic Health Coach, certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, is certified in Core Strength Vinyassa Yoga, and holds a master’s certification in Transformational NLP.   Her eyebrow raising work has been featured in the likes of Huffington Post, Forbes, Yoga Journal, Jezebel, and Emerging Women.

Travel Image ~ Women's Museum

Ha Noi, Vietnam

The constant blowing of horns can initially be a disturbing feature of Ha Noi but the chaos and noise emanating from the streets is infectious.  Within the chaotic and winding streets, the Vietnamese have created museums to commemorate the history of their nation.  The Women’s Museum in Ha Noi is dedicated completely to women’s achievements and contributions to the national identity.  This image, with its reflections, conveys the multiple, and at times fragmented, identities of women.  It reflects our desire to feel whole and return to oneness.

Travel Image ~ Dragon

Kuching, Malaysian Borneo

This dragon can be seen at the Chinese temple in downtown Kuching.  Hours can be spent exploring all the detail in the decorations that adorn the walls of the open air sanctuary.  Chinese temples serve as a refuge from the stream of traffic and constant motion of the city. The people of Kuching come and go, offering prayers and lighting incense. In Chinese mythology the dragon represents the vital potential of falling rain and flowing water.  Life is a process of constant growth and learning to go with the flow creates some ease within the experience.   Dragons have been very present for me recently again.

MIYUKI YAMAMOTO SHOWNOTES:

My professional services have been developed over more than 25 years while living and working in 3 countries: Japan, U.S.A. (12 years), and Australia (6 years).

I was initially trained as a hospice nurse, and later developed a career in psychology, mind-body therapy, energy healing, counseling, and associated consulting and training.

My life turned full circle 4 years ago when I returned to Japan with my husband and, then, 18 month old daughter. 

My private practice in Japan includes time shared with one-on-one clients, group workshops, organization training, university lecturing, and corporate clients.  Training programs range in length from 3 months to 3 years.   

Last year I published 2 books (my first), in Japanese.  These are:  “Transforming Your Self- image through body awareness,” & “Free yourself from Negative Body Image”

I will be co-hosting spiritual retreats for women with Amy Tatsumi in 2018.

Travel Image ~ Face of Peace

Bayon, Temples of Angkor, Cambodia

The temples of Angkor in Cambodia rise up out of the jungle.  None is more impressive than Bayon at the center of Angkor Thom.  Bayon was constructed around 1200 A.D. by Jayavarman VII, the most prolific builder of all the Khmer kings. Two hundred and sixteen humungous faces depict Avalokitesvara, the Buddhist god deemed the “Lord who looks down on the World.”.  The survival of these temples and the details within their construction is a testament to the incredible power and artistry of the ancestors of Cambodia.  There is a strength that emanates from these peaceful faces.

Travel Image ~ Goddess

Kolkata, India

Oh, Kolkata.  Her energy enveloped me in darkness, in shadow as a deep invitation for me to play in my shadow.   She also enveloped in the love of the Divine Mother.  The light & the dark are present within each of us.  These were the moments where the different facets of the goddess were revealed to me as facets of myself.  It was the external experience enlivening the internal journey through the Goddess.  I am forever in gratitude to the Kolkata for her lessons of shadow and light.

Travel Image ~ Dancer In Red

Havana, Cuba

Havana is alive with music and movement every day but during Habana Vieja Ciudad en Movimento, that expression reaches new heights.  The Old Havana City of Movement festival brings together dance troupes from all over the world to share their talent.  The colorful band on stilts plays while spectators wind through the streets of Old Havana following the music from dance performance to dance performance.  The whole arrangement is brilliant because not only do the dancers create movement but spectators become an intricate part of the movement as well. This dancer in red takes a moment of pause in her movement to soak up the energy around her.

DANIEL FOOR SHOWNOTES:

I’m a teacher and practitioner of practical animism who specializes in ancestral and family healing and in helping folks learn to relate well with the rest of the natural world.

My focus on the ancestors sources from the guidance of my teachers in earth-honoring traditions (e.g., European pagan paths, Native American ways, Mongolian shamanism, and West African Ifá/Òrìṣà tradition), from my training as a doctor of psychology and clinical mental health professional, and from two decades of implementing the teachings of ancestor reverence in my own life. Since 2005 I’ve guided hundreds of ancestor trainings, rituals, and talks throughout the United States and helped many others to reconnect with their family ancestors through personal sessions. My book, Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing, will be available in 2017.

Over the past few decades I’ve trained with teachers of Mahayana Buddhism, Islamic Sufism, and diverse indigenous paths, including the remnant and returning traditions of my older English, Irish, and German ancestors. I’m also a student of Yoruba culture and an initiate (ọmọ awo) of Ifá, Ọbàtálá, Ọ̀ṣun, and Egúngún in the lineage of Olúwo Fálolú Adésànyà Awoyadé from Òdè Rẹ́mọ.

My doctoral research in psychology focused on the use of shamanic healing practices by clinical mental health professionals, and I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist. I’ve been blessed to spend time as a student of culture and language in the Czech Republic, Mexico, Ecuador, Egypt, Morocco, and Nigeria.

Training as a therapist, living in other societies, and immersion in different lineages of ritual work all inform my kind and non-dogmatic approach to ancestor and earth reverence. Although I draw inspiration from lineages of established practice, my public offerings aim to be culturally inclusive, and I hold social and ecological justice to be inseparable from spiritual teachings and practice.

Travel Image ~ Eyes of the Past

Havana, Cuba

The buildings and sidewalks of Havana come alive with graffiti art.  The Cubans elevate graffiti as an art form of the highest level.  Vibrant colors and messages mix with images that contain an aura of reality.  Being surrounded by the art makes the city vibrate in a unique way.  Graffiti writing sends a message to the world through its beauty and artistry.  This graffiti wall with its eyes feels like the past looking into the future.

Travel Image ~ Circular Ceiling

Osiyan, India

There is an intricately carved Jain temple in bleak deserts of Rajasthan in the small town of Osiyan.  The beautifully designed sandstone of the temple pulses with gentle energy.  The ascending circles of the vast ceiling signify that we are unified as one.  These circles also remind us of the cyclic rhythms of our lives.  The seasons that ebb & flow, the moon waxing & waning in the sky above & your own personal monthly moon cycle.

Travel Image ~ Rajasthani Shoes

Jodhpur, India

The town center of Jodhpur, in the heart of Rajasthan, teems with the hustle of markets around the world.  Spices are measured for sale in one corner with shoes in the next corner.  The traditional designs on these shoes are often hand stitched in local homes.  The young man selling these shoes swore they were stitched by his own mother.  Here, you can walk away wearing a little piece of the India of the maharajas.  These shoes remind me of all the different shoes we wear & the diverse paths we walk each lifetime.
