More than ever it is time for each of us on the planet to awaken to our mortality and our spiritual nature. We need to live with more awareness of how we affect others and the interconnectedness of all. As we each begin to heal ourselves from the inside out, we become a part of healing the Earth and all others on the planet.
- Maria Dancing Heart
We are living through changing times. Relaxation is the key to this stress/fear. If we can relax enough, we can get through any change – including the biggest change, the final transition, or helping others through their final transition, grief, or stress.
On this website you will find many resources that can help you through transitions of all kinds. Death is simply the biggest change we go through in our entire life. Maria invites you to spend some time on this site as you ponder the mystery of life and death. You may want to read one of her books or mini-books as a way to begin to release your fears and doubts about the unknown future. "All shall be well, all shall be well, all manner of thing shall be well." -- Julian of Norwich
Through her work, Maria hopes that death, grief, and transformation of all kinds will be viewed in more gentle, loving ways. We can see these experiences as adventures and "gifts" in our lives that occur as part of the natural cycle of life, rather than experiences to be avoided or pushed under the rug. It is also Maria's fervent hope that American physicians and health care professionals will continue to open up more space for death in our hospitals. Maria's message is helping to bring death back to life!
Maria's two-fold mission is to:
1) Help create a more gentle, open, and loving space for end-of-life care in America, especially in our hospitals.
2) Appreciate and honor the body-mind-spirit healing modalities that can help us relax through transitions of all kinds.
