Bio

http://shoshin1.tripod.com/Pagan_Shoshin/index.html
I have a partner who has been on SL for quite some time, their interests are different from mine so we live and travel in different parts of SL.

Once I acquired a computer that could handle the SL load, I joined, not sure what I would find or even what I was looking for.

While acquiring L$ is important for me, I looked at some of the jobs I could work at and knew I couldn't do those. It meant going back to another RL life and another time when I had no self esteem and no concept of my spiritual worth.

I had indications that I was different when at 3 yr old (so my family tells me) I was speaking another language my family clearly recognized as First Nations. I had flashes from that age of another life, of being older than I was and with a different family. It confused the dickens out of me. I also had flashes of contact in another life with First Nations people. LOL, no I wasn't an Indian princess or the daughter of a chief. I was a caucasian baby rescued and raised by an elderly First Nations couple who had lost their only child.

I quit talking that language (even though I can still speak and sing it) because it upset my family.

I had experiences of actually flying around a couple of feet off the floor in my parents bedroom, read my families thoughts and in puberty spoke with dead people, one young fellow in particular.

I was raised as a nominal church goer and didn't see anyone of another race until grade six.

One of the things I was known for in my family was my compassion and the acts of kindness I would do.

In my mid twenties I became a "Jesus Freak" and spent about 15 years of my life as a faith walking, tongues talking, vision seeing Christian. My experience in the Christian religion was not an overly positive one. I seemed always to be considered suspect and weird.

In my late 30s I became a Christian clown, some of the performances I gave were so moving, I couldn't stay after because I would be crying. I was a puppeteer as well.

One of my clown friends introduced me to a native teaching circle, it is unfortunate that two of three of the native teachers I sat under were not honoring their gifts so I walked away. Most of what I am able to do came naturally by just doing it. I couldn't teach someone how to do distance healing because I have no idea how I do it, I just do when requested.

My one year in an Alexandrian Coven was wonderful, however I found that the need to do spells was getting in the way of my just doing things.

From the time my children were in grade school (both in their 30s now) we shared a pagan walk, they weren't made to, but were given choices. We still do ritual together from time to time, they attended my croning ceremony as I wanted my grandson to see the joy there is in the turning of the wheel.

While I follow a solitary path and don't expect or require anyone to walk the same path I do, I respect all faiths and spirit paths. Just as in healing, there is no one right way for everyone.

I prefer people don't call me healer, I just get to be around when some wonderful things happen. If someone must call me anything I am honored to be called a Zen flute or hollow reed.

Sorry, I am rambling on. Once I spent some time in SL I started finding places that resonated with my spirit, so that is where I tend to be. I think my cave, now I have furnished it must look like my spirit heart.

As a mystic, I seek to help others to be whatever makes them feel balanced and happy, in doing that, I reap the rewards of reciprocity.

At 58, there is still much left to learn.

As a mystic I would like to use my spiritual and RL skills, I know I am able to assist, advocate for and support people who are dealing with a mental illness from a strengths based, psychosocial rehabilitation approach.

I do this because of the many people who have helped me acheive my current level of mental wellness. It is my joy to support others as I have been.
