Trinity Pines Healing Arts

My Journey started as a young child.. I had nightly trips zooming around the ceiling and then out over the house my parents bought the year I was born. Mom said it was nightmares. I will never forget the feeling of flying and seeing everything from above. The house, the LA Wash the Mulholland Hills, Topanga Canyon.. yes it was LA in the 50's. Years later finding out it was called OBE or out of body experience.. but as a child I just thought it was FUN! This is my mother, grandmother and great grandmother in 1955. A strong woman heritage.. not without it's problems.. but supportive and loving! Gratitude for a good start in life!   

Studies in Shaolin started in 1995 and for the next five years my life was fully taken over with this intense and physically challenging Martial Art. The Temple I went to in Seattle was run by SiGong Doug who was trained by a very important man who brought Shaolin here from Hawaii in the 60's his SiTiGong in San Francisco. It changed my life. I was on a search for Spiritual Training and what I got was Body, Mind and Spirit. It is the to Know to Do and to Dare.. that I found my true calling. The Shaolin in China was a University where parents sent their oldest sons to train as Monks.. in Art, Forms, Discipline and Spiritual enlightenment. It brought great honor to the Family to have a Monk within the walls of the Temple.. even if it meant they were lost forever to the line of decent. Shaolin means "young forest". For it is the ability of the young trees to bend in the storm and to give to the elements. This insures the trees survival. For us in combat or in life..we give way to energy, to be flexible, in order to live in harmony and resonance.

It is early morning.. the birds are chirping the color of the sky is pale blue with rose streaked clouds. It is a Russell Chatham lithograph. And that is why I am in Montana. As it is the Big Sky.. it is the peace.. it is the Land.. Montana.. I am home.
