Healing Hooping Happy Hums

Why do you hoop? AuthentiKK

AuthentiKK Hoops is new local business with a goal to invigorate the community with the same passion I share for the precious circle of joy. Exploring self awareness and invoking positive intention is where the circle has lead many. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying: “what goes around, comes around?” The theory of full circle has never been more present with everything going on in our world today. Hula hooping, also known as hoop dancing, is a sublime example of this! Once inside the circle, completely indulging your senses in a sea of flow0sity, gradually grasping a finer quality of awareness for yourself and environment, the hoop is hard to put down! Hula Hooping is fun for all occasions and brings families together. As of today, I have the hoop to thank for the strong bond and love I have for my Mother and MOther Earth. Emotions we experience such as surprise, peacefulness, anger, sadness, fear, happiness, or joy are manifested and expressed with the hoop. Some choose to medicate unnaturally, while most hoopers discover how soothing to the soul hoop dancing is with delicate, steady body movement. No longer shall we suppress, but let the world know how you vibe through your fingertips and hips! Male or female, the hoop sees no gender, race, or age! Do not see what you can do with the hoop, see what the hoop can do for you. Spin away and spread the love around more!

Picture yourself spinning around on a merry go round or swinging as high as you can go at your local park on a warm, sunny day. The jubilation of going around and around plants a feeling of free butterflies in your belly as you twirl around, accompanied by a massive grin. We feel about six years old, give or take, right? What some of us tend to forget, is that we are all born children. Daily tasks can be used to distract us from the joy we deserve prevent most from fully experiencing life as it is; without judgement, biases, premeditation, or always attempting to analyze or label what one perceives as good, bad, old, young, thick, or thin. Putting out that positive, ecstatic energy brings all that positivity right back to your heart ❤ Hula hooping has taught me to be more aware of every element, cell, thought, and feeling binding us in this Earth. It has emerged me into incorporating hooping with dance. meditation, and yoga, while reconnecting with former passion.. Ballet and dance has been my passion for 15 years, whereas my stepmother, Dawn Kelly, was one of the main instructors at the Dance Studio in New Hampshire.

As I twirled around in my slipper and tutu, it didn’t cross my mind at the ripe age of five, that our hula hoop warm up would become a future way to transfer energy and connect with family and friends. As I flow and toss around my hoop, I’m cuddled with a bright light divulging me in it’s freedom from fear. I have slowly learned to lead with my heart; not only mentally, but physically.  Hooping spread a feeling through me that told me it is okay to forgive, and be forgiven. I, as well as all entities. have the strength to transform, love, and be loved. Even my fiance, Alex, and my daughter, Alyeska, love to pick up the hoop and play around. I spent years trying to lead with my mind and control certain life experiences, hoping and trying to “wish life in and out of existence.”  Hula hooping showed me that the experience just is. We can always choose fight or flight. Fight the natural path of your life, or take the path of least resistance.. A wise friend told me “Anything worth having, should be done slowly and with ease.” Truer words have never rang in my ears before. The “truth” can’t be found, but exploration can be always be implemented. Through hoop-dance, we learn truths unknown and explore unfathomed aspects of life. Liberation is on the rise, provoking inspiration and positive intent. This perception of the journey of what we call life has brought me to a wonderful place. I aspire to share this love and light with family and friends near and far!

My little girl hooping (2011)

The disease is found by a subtle body of energy put in front of our mistakes. Every disease has its onset in the subtle body. Negative thoughts lead us to actions that cause emotional imbalance. This imbalance joins the physical body, which warns of the consequences through symptoms. We usually treat these physical symptoms, forgetting the true cause of the disease, which is in our energy fields.

The physical disease forces us to stop our routine activities. It puts us into meditative states where they often ask, "What have I done to deserve this?" It's a way of life teach us something, we need to understand an illness as an opportunity to learn something even stranger.

This is how I view any illness, cold, or major disease. Energy is recycled.

FIN
Following is the poem that I wish to be spoken at my funeral (modified from the original by Mary Elizabeth Frye).
“Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow;
I am sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain;
When you awake to greet the dawn
I am the day as it is born;
I am birds in circling flight;
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.”

favorite quotes

"You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might deg...enerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken."
— Anaïs Nin (The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1)

 

There's a difference between a failure and a fiasco. A failure is merely the absence of success. Any fool can achieve failure. But a fiasco, a fiasco is a disaster of epic proportions. A fiasco is a folk tale told to others to make other people feel more alive because it didn't happen to them.
-Elizabethtown  

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you then.
