My name is Miya DeBaker (Miya sounds like Maya in this case). I am in love with observing the world (inside and out), contemplating it's nature, and understanding the many ways to see and experience it. 

I see my personal journey as a healing journey. A story of facing demons and transformation, forgiveness and beauty. At this moment in my journey, I have come to two practices to which I give my primary attention:

1. Touch of Presence - This is essentially a meditation practice that involves touch. Or a style of bodywork that is essentially a meditation practice. It is a non-doing practice (just be with it as it is); With awareness and touch in oriented to the whole.

2. Vedic Astrology - This is essentially putting Vedic philosophy into personal practice. By observing how astrology works, we begin to see the nature of existence and reality and our place in it. (Consciousness - Time - Breath) Vedic Astrology also teaches us valuable and  fundamental ways of engaging with the universe from this perspective. 

To share what I learn. Because...

1. My teacher said it's greedy to learn learn learn and not share; it is important to give back.

2. My path led to two practices that are practiced in relation. While each of these practices requires significant work and dedication that I do in my personal time, the fruition of these practices is through exchange. 

3. The teachings reveal themselves in practice and exchange. So please, allow me to share these with you. 

4. These are healing practices. They are my healing and inspiration. I hope to offer opportunity for healing and inspiration to others.
