EMBODYING AHIMSA
Embodying Ahimsa is the online platform for the Healing work of Tamara Dawn.
Embarking on the journey of embodying the wisdom of non-violence (ahimsa) requires feeling supported and resourced in Love and a higher power than one’s own limited identity.
The purpose of this site is to network with those on their Spiritual Journey requiring such support and resourcing.
Tamara offers her loving, gentle, feminine presence and guidance with humility and devotion to the vast web of the other-than-human relations sharing this journey of learning to be healthy people together.
She nurtures the values of Respect, Trust and Intimacy through her Sessions in:
Yoga, Massage, Ayurveda, Music as Medicine, Art as Vision, and Spiritual Support on this wild ride of soul embodying spirit.
The journey of Embodying Ahimsa is about feeling into the ways we ourselves are engaging in violence inwards towards ourselves, and outwards in our relationships to the broader web of life, and creatively transforming these ways into healthy, vibrant, loving ways. This inquiry can go infinitely deep in the ever-expanding process of remembering ourselves Whole again.
We can ask ourselves:
“How am I living violence towards my own self, and how can I transform this into harmony?”
Tamara offers her wise and soulful experience from walking this path full-heartedly to support your journey of conscious, creative transformation. We all need helpers, who need helpers, who need helpers; We all unfurl together in an interdependently arising web of unfathomable Love. If you find yourself at a moment in your soul’s journey where you need a spiritual ally, you are most welcome to reach out.
Mahatma Gandhi, perhaps the most famous example of someone embodying the principle of ahimsa encourages us to:
“be the change we wish to see in the world”.
This means recognizing that the evolution we envision globally finds its roots in the intimate space of our own unique inner worlds; our bodies.
Now more than ever before, we are being asked by the vast web of life, the weave of both human and non-human relations, to carry the responsibility of tending to our bodies well; as extensions of the earth. As we heal this disconnect with our own bodies, we can learn to heal the disconnect to the earth and all the other beings who share her as home.
To embark on the journey of Embodying Ahimsa is to courageously uncover the ways we personally are engaging in harm, and to creatively tranfrom these ways into peaceful, loving and kind ways; to make medicine of our wounds.
Imagine our world as all beings radically embrace this peaceful warriors’ path.
It is a beautiful vision worth embodying; One I am on with you.
The tools that have supported my own practice of Embodying Ahimsa have their roots in the Spiritual cultures of ancient India and Tibet. The systems of:
Meditation, Yoga, Ayurveda and Tantra
that were the language of the enlightened masters of those times.
Buddha Shakyamuni, Arya Tārā, Longchenpa, Padmasambhāva, Yeshe Tsogyal, Kṣemarāja, Abhinavagupta…
…to call a few by name.
By respectfully embracing the teachings I have been blessed to receive, a path of loving kindness embraced me in return and has taught me valuable and precious methods for this lifelong journey of truly Embodying Ahimsa, methods I can share with you.
The intention behind my service as a guide in these territories is to support the souls who are newer to these systems and are longing for a loving, warm, gentle, feminine, nurturing hand to hold along their personal journey of healing.
My soul thrives in service to those who want to embrance the path of Emboyding Ahimsa and intuitively come home to the natural state of all creation; Love.
My lineages of blood and bone are not rooted in the Spiritual Cultures that have illuminated my path. My Ancestors are of Scottish, English and German heritage, though our traditional Spiritual Cultures have been lost as we were displaced and persecuted for our practices of Earth Worship.
I speak to this to honour and acknowledge that I am not a blood and bone face of the lineages I practice and share. I am a Spiritual Heart steeped in tradition and lineage, humbly devoted to a path outside my cultural heritage, and I step lightly with humility to my priviledge.
As I connect to and learn the traditional ways of my ancient ancestors I aspire to weave the ways my blood lineage was embodying ahimsa in our lost languages of ritual practice, into my practice, and my offerings to the world.
I believe we need both. To embrace and be welcomed by inter-cultural methods of connection, healing and awakening; and to re-connect and heal the broken lineages of colonial history.
This is my mission here on Earth;
To weave the ancient wisdom of the East,
With the ancient earth wisdom of my own ancestors.
To heal and harmonize the disconnect between Spirit and Matter,
the Mind and the Body,
to Embody Ahimsa,
To sing from this place of wholeness.
Together,
with all my relations.
This is the intention of my service here at Emboyding Ahimsa.
It is an honour to meet you on your path, and serve your unique journey home.
