First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Heather. You can read more about what I do on the “Mission” page, but I would like to share more about my story and inspiration here.
I am thrilled to finally be launching this blog and website, and I’m grateful you found your way here. It has been quite a journey for me to get to this place, so I would like to provide some insight into what that has looked like.
About 3 ½ years ago, I experienced what some might refer to as the “dark night of the soul.” Eckhart Tolle (one of my favourite spiritual teachers) describes this as “what one could call a collapse of a perceived meaning in life. . . .really what has collapsed is the whole conceptual framework for your life, the meaning that your mind had given it. So that results in a dark place. But people have gone into that, and then there is the possibility that you emerge out of that into a transformed state of consciousness.”
And that is what happened to me.
While it was a very difficult time in my life, I am incredibly thankful for the path it led me on. Who I was prior to this experience is wildly different from who I am now.
Throughout this journey of shedding and becoming more conscious, there has been a lot of learning and unlearning that I know will continue for the rest of this lifetime. This process can be incredibly painful and uncomfortable at times, as you become aware of all of the things you have likely been avoiding for as long as you can remember. Yet, on the other side of the darkness, I have found there is so much light.
In confronting the darkness and unlocking the light, my heart has been cracked wide open. I’ve realized how beautiful it is to feel deeply, to be able to hold space for it ALL and appreciate the totality of our existence. I feel that’s what so many of us are afraid of and try to hide from. I once was and only now do I see how much I was missing out on.
This is what has inspired me and what I want to share, in the hopes that it will reach you and open you up to a way of living that doesn’t have to cause so much suffering. I want you to feel the liberation that a deep connection to heart and Self brings. It’s a beautiful way to meet life and feel at peace within. You deserve that. We all do.
With that, I bring you Heartwave Healing. Thank you for being here.
