WOW! I’m being called once again by Mother Earth to travel to Scotland and partake in the Sun Moon Dance. This will be my third Dance and I am excited to see where my visions and insights take me as I embark on a transformational journey through Sacred Dance, fasting, silence and inner reflection.
The Sun Moon Dance is a ceremonial Dance brought forth from the vision of Joseph Rael ~ Beautiful Painted Arrow, who is a visionary, shaman and mystic of Southern Ute and Picuris Pueblo heritage.
In Joseph’s words, “You don’t eat food, you don’t drink anything, you don’t talk, because what you want to achieve through the Dance is powers to have a vision; so you may be empowered to get a spiritual vision from God”.
I experienced many visions and insights during my dances, and as you are about to discover, I was reborn during the first Dance I participated in 2014.
This Sacred Dance teaches us about the power of prayer and how infinitely strong we are on all levels. It teaches us that manifesting our desires requires effort, commitment, dedication and surrender. The Sun Moon Dance is a ‘dry fast’ done over four days within a covered arbor. We abstain from food and water for 4 days and commit to our Dance.
No words can describe what blessings I received from taking part in the Sun Moon Dance! 
Here’s me outside the arbor after the Dance had finished, feeling completely serene & enlightened. It was a pleasure to meet such loving and generous people that welcomed us like family. Each and every person at the Sun Moon Dance deeply touched my Soul and I am blessed by the experience.
Dry Fasting for 4 days whilst dancing to Spirit was the most challenging thing I had ever encountered in my whole life. The feeling at the end of the fast left me feeling liberated and sensing an even deeper and more profound connection to Spirit.
Dry fasting brings about a tremendous amount of mental clarity, profound insights and visions. It produces deep transformations physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
The benefits we experience personally during the dance ripple out into the world. The healing we bring to ourselves also brings healing to Mother Earth. We work with the spirits of the land to bring in the energies from all directions; east, south, west, north, up above and down below. The drumming awakens spiritual energy from deep within the core of our being and the core of the Earth. We transfer these energies into the land where the energy radiates out into the world.
Once the Dance calls you, you can be sure that your life will never be the same again.
For the third time now, I feel the energy of the Earth calling me to Scotland to play an active role in global peace and planetary healing.
I am about to embark on a vision quest into the heart of the Universe, testing my strength and faith on every level.
The Dance arbor represents the Sacred Medicine Wheel, the world, and the life it contains and nurtures. A tree planted in the centre of the arbor represents the centre of the circle of life and the centre of the self. In conscious awareness, we journey to meet the Divine presence within ourselves.
Each day begins with the sunrise ceremony and ends with the moon song when the sun sets.
We take part in a sweat lodge before the Dance as a cleansing ceremony to prepare for our journey to our inner self.
Once we enter the arbor to begin our Dance, we refrain from eating, drinking, talking and making eye contact with others for the whole four days. This part of the dance I look forward to the most.
For years now I crave silence and deep solitude, there is nothing more rejuvenating and peaceful than taking time out just to be.
For 4 days I can stay in my own space without the need to speak to others. It is extremely liberating knowing that your only purpose in that moment is to dance, rest and dream.
Any time we have to leave the arbor, we wear a white sheet of protection, so we are invisible to any other person helping out at the dance, keeping us in our sacred space.
The Chief, who leads the ceremony, is the Divine vessel for the Dance, which allows the Great Spirit to channel Divine energy into the arbor so that potential possibilities can be planted and nurtured.
The Chief holds the space for the Dance, and starts and stops each Dance that we do from dusk until dawn. There are ‘Moon Mothers’ within the arbor assisting the Chief who help the dancers in any way they can. The Moon Mother wears a prayer shawl and carries a feather. I was blessed to experience Divine healing from one of my Moon Mothers’ feathers; it was intense and very powerful.
Look at how clear the sky is after the Dance! Yes! We transcended the darkness into the Light!
I remember this day well, the warmth of the sun on my skin was embracing and nurturing my soul. I love this photo of the Moon Mothers and I, you can see the peace and serenity exuding from each and every one of us!
After a gruelling 4 days working with Spirit for our prayers and the healing of the Earth, we end the Dance with a water blessing ceremony. This is very welcomed and appreciated after four days of dry fasting with only spiritual energy keeping you going.
My First Dance took me to Hell and Back!
I experienced a complete metamorphosis!
The second day was the longest day of my entire life! It felt like it was NEVER going to end!
I was stuck in HELL! At one point during that day I received a visit from Jesus and Mother Mary, they were consoling me and helping me get through the treacherous path I had chosen.
I was ravenous by the third day and my mouth was so dry it hurt. It felt like I had razor blades in my throat, as if it was being slit open from the inside, I felt like I was dying. I wanted to give up, but Ocean, one of the Moon Mothers, convinced me to do one more dance which changed everything.
I was reluctant to dance to the tree and roared like a lion not moving from my spot. Once I finally got to the centre of the arbor I hugged the tree and burst out crying uncontrollably. The Chief finally came over and separated me from the tree so I hugged him instead. As I let go of him and turned to walk back, I collapsed onto the ground and lay on my front not able to move. At first I cried in pain, my back and hips had been hurting since starting the dance. Then all of a sudden, there was nothing!
No pain, no crying, no thoughts, no feelings, nothing!
All I remember is people gathering around me, placing me inside a white sheet and carrying me back to my place in the arbor. I am unsure how much time had passed, but when I came around, I realised I was inside something. I peeled the layers away and unwrapped myself from the sheet, it was an incredible feeling.
I felt like a caterpillar emerging from its cocoon and transforming into a butterfly.
I climbed out of my cocoon and stood up, realising for the first time in 3 days that I was actually warm and the sun was shining. I stripped off the many layers I had been wearing to keep myself warm, and smiled for the first time during the dance.
I was so happy! My first thought was to stand facing the sun and practice yoga.
The most incredible yoga flow manifested in that moment, I began with sun salutations to express my deepest gratitude for the sun shining upon me, then flowed into strong, grounding moon poses.
I couldn’t believe how much energy and strength I had, it was amazing!
The energy of Great Spirit flew through me and I realised…
I am not my body…
I am not my mind…
I am not my emotions…
I AM…
A Divine Spiritual Being here on Earth, having a human experience!
My first Sun Moon Dance completely changed me as a person, I transcended into a higher dimension and have never looked back.
Every day I wake up feeling a deep connection to Spirit and always remember who I am and why I am here….
An Earth Angel here to Empower people to Wake up to their Divine Angelic Nature
and step into their Power & Magnificence.
If you haven’t fully embodied your beautiful Angelic Self yet, get yourself down to Heaven on Earth: The Space for an awakening experience.

The rest of the dance was a breeze, I felt reborn and extremely grateful for the experience.
This strong yoga sequence flowed through me after 3 days of being on a dry fast…. NO FOOD! NO WATER! 😱 Give it a go and let me know how you get on with it. 😉
My second Dance in 2016…
To my surprise, I was never hungry or thirsty during my second dance. I felt Spirit nourish and hydrate me between rounds, it was a truly magical experience.
I could have continued dry fasting for much longer given the chance. However, part of the experience is breaking the fast together with all the other dancers during the ceremony.
Before we are given a glass of water, we bow to the Earth, and the Chief pours cold water on the back of our necks to bless us. As the water was poured onto my neck, I gasped at how cold it was. The water trickled around my neck and onto my cheek, with just one drop landing on my bottom lip. The feeling was so sensual. I licked my lip and felt so much nourishment and life force consume me. Closing my eyes, I felt ecstatic. I was satisfied and needed not a drop more.
The feeling is incredible when you finally allow yourself that first sip of water.
It is the nectar of life itself, sweet and all consuming.

The Power of the Mind is Truly Limitless!
Our minds are what create everything in the Universe, all material objects that are tangible in this world all began as one single thought in someone’s mind.
In each moment, we choose our thoughts by giving them energy and awareness. When we hold a negative thought, we attract more negative thoughts which in turn attract negative things into our lives, and this lowers our vibrations which has a knock on effect on our emotions and physical body. On the positive side, we can can choose to hold on positive thoughts, raising our vibrations and attracting more positive experiences into our energy field.
Whatever we tell ourselves becomes our reality. Every thought we have shapes our future, and we can change the direction of our life whenever we decide to change our thoughts.
I developed a much deeper and more profound understanding of this during my second Sun Moon Dance. My intentions were crystal clear, and my mind was completely focused on my goals.
Anytime I felt tired, fatigued or achy, I stood still, took a deep breath, placed my hands on my heart and smiled. I surrendered to the tree in the centre of the harbor and allowed myself just to be in the present moment completely. Instantly all the negative thoughts and feelings fell away. I felt whole, complete and connected to Spirit, nature and the whole of creation.
This presence and awareness opens us up to the Divine cosmic energy within and around us, where we become one with our Creator.
I feel blessed in each moment to be a conscious witness, completely immersed in the oneness of life itself.
These moments of pure bliss and ecstasy arise once we transcend our physical, mental and emotional self. Letting go of our attachments to body and mind frees us from pain and suffering.
We can move into a space of heightened awareness and the realm of spiritual healing where anything is possible. I realised we are infinitely strong and powerful, more so than we could imagine.
There are no limits as to what we can achieve, the only limitations we encounter are the ones we put there ourselves with our repetitive negative thought formations.
I found a sanctuary of sacred peace during the Dance. Throughout the whole experience I managed to put aside any negative thoughts that would pop into my mind.
However, this first Dance on our fourth and final day of the weekend was destined to take me into the pain to understand the lessons that came with it. I discovered a lot during that day, the pain eventually disappeared as if by magic once I received and truly understood the messages that came with it. This is always the case. I now understand that all pain is a communication process between the body and mind. If we tune in and listen to the body, we can avoid so much suffering by simply following the guidance of our Higher Self.
Fasting and silence are two of the most powerful techniques you can practice on your spiritual journey to purify your body, mind and Soul.
The best thing about the Sun Moon Dance is that you truly get the opportunity to deeply and intimately connect with the Divine Universal energies within and around you.
Fasting and silence are required throughout the whole Dance, giving you the chance to really connect with yourself, working on your intentions personally and collectively.
The Dance is open to anyone who seeks inspiration to live a life of greater spiritual awareness.

If you are constantly consuming these foods, changing to whole grain products and other complex carbohydrates will help you have more electricity while consuming less. Good blog post.
