Most people call me Pam. I am an image of God or Source if you prefer that word, as we all are One. I had a mission/ calling in life since I was a child to aid in the healing of humankind on earth, and while I was raised religious, my spiritual experience has always been a very personal, unique and rich one full of unconditional love and acceptance of others.
I was born to parents who are mathematician/ physicists with scientists, doctors, lawyers and business people in my extended family. I have always been drawn more to my creative nature where I feel at home connected to the greater of the creation I perceive than to my problem solving brain. Yet it certainly got in the way of a smooth life for me at times in my past when I was ego naive.
Since a young age, I have had a passion for the agape love that infinitely flows within my heart and innermost being and for sharing that with others as best as I know how to. That "know how to" has been an enfolding awareness of divinely guided human evolution throughout this life journey of mine. Since a young age, I have felt the emotions, the story, the predicament, the traumas and trials that my peers faced along their journeys. And my wish has always been that they find healing and happiness in life. I began in early years primarily observing and being labeled "shy". I did not share my own feelings much when young, because it was difficult for me to sort out mine from my peers' feelings which I also felt. I just knew I loved each and every being so deeply that it hurt in a joyously unending way. And I expressed these feelings through singing, communing with nature, writing and art from early on in my life. These are my living and breathing passions as I live the life I love and love the life I live.
As an adult, I have found my bliss through living a grateful and mindful experience. I continue to practice all of the creative and nature evoking practices of my youth, in addition to, daily self-care practices including meditation and yoga. Read more about bliss here.
I love to connect with others and to hear their stories, to share my own, to exercise my heart and throat chakras in person in addition to writing. You can connect with me on facebook or instagram: WelcomeOmRva
RYT (Yoga) Bio:.
Pam is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS). She received her 200hr certification from Glenmore Yoga in Richmond, VA. First introduced to yoga in college at the turn of the century, her practice has evolved from a supplemental, physical fitness and emotionally uplifting one to a committed life practice integrating the eight limbs of yoga with her own personal spiritual experience and practices. She has a daily meditation and yoga practice, a personal sadhana that incorporates elements of different practices and techniques she has studies yet always shifting to fit her daily needs for self-exploration, spiritual exploration and listening/ receiving. Her teaching style is mixed, usually a combination of hatha with gentle vinyasa, always depending on her client or group needs.
Pam has additional training acquired through class trainings, self-study and practice: yin yoga certification, yoga for trauma (CEs), y12sr (yoga for recovery) certification, mindfulness and meditation practices, kundalini kriyas (CEs), tantric breath-work and other pranayama practices. She incorporates these other elements of yoga with a gentle flow asana sequence for energy clearing and empowering chakra activation, or in other words, for journeying within for renewing our connection within ourselves (union of body, mind and spirit) and with the whole of nature. Her passion for overall health and well-being and facilitating an environment for self-healing, along with her creative, artistic nature and love for all of nature all-inclusive of the nature within, factor into her unique approach. She hopes to serve as a mentor and guide to others in achieving the true yogic balance in all of our bodies of being and in all of our present moment affairs.
Pam's own life experience has brought her face to face with all sorts of past traumas of her own: NDE, PTSD, anxiety, depression, spiritual malady, addictive/ obsessive coping behaviors, stress (relationship and work), physical/emotional abuse, major health concerns, and trauma and grief from the experience of becoming a widow in 2016. Her struggle with overcoming Lyme disease back in 2014 was the catalyst from which emerged a deeper understanding and passion for yoga and it’s eight limb practices as a much needed mode for restoring and maintaining her health physically, mentally/emotionally and spiritually. This was the true beginning of her committed relationship with yoga, and more significantly her entire self.
Pam has overcome her own life's difficulties through incorporating the practice of surrender and a lotus approach to transformation in her personal life. Conscious contact to the God of her understanding, to her source, through meditation, mindful(and heart-full)ness, pranayama(breath!) and yoga have all been essential to her own self-healing, recovery and growth, and she hopes to encourage others to find what works for them to succeed in achieving fullness of life.
