How did Yolinna Spirit come to be? (In Linda's words)

"Linna" is my family's nickname for me.  I was an executive, had an expense account, drove a
fancy car and then had my first child.  From that moment, my world shifted.  I had never
questioned my path, figured it was laid out for me, house in the suburbs, 2.5 kids, work til you
drop and then drive an RV round the country.  Until I had an awakening.  

I was your typical type A personality, driven to succeed, determined to be perfect at everything,
totally in control at all times.  I landed in the doctors office with a bleeding ulcer and decided
there must be another way to live.  I "blew up" my world, gave up my job and my fancy car and
set about learning what was real.  Quite by accident, I discovered Tai Chi and was introduced to
philosophies I had never heard of in my Southern Baptist suburban world.  Words like Taoism,
Yin/Yang, the study of Zen Buddhism, Chakras and eventually my love, Yoga.

I was working at a therapeutic nursery near my home as a Rec Therapist when I was
encouraged by one of the teachers to incorporate my love of yoga to the kids.  I was terrified.  
But I could see how beneficial it could be.  So I started.  And I found a calling.  Eventually I was
led to teach adults at my church, always encouraged by my friends and mentors to keep trying. I
created
my own type of yoga, calling it Yoga-Linda as a joke, eventually shortening it to Yolinna.

I discovered that I had a gift.  I had always had it, but had no idea what it was.  It was second
nature to me to feel other's pain, to be able to clue in to what people needed and I learned to
use this gift in my teaching.  Many times, students would come up to me after class saying,
"how did you know just what I needed?  My (back, shoulder, knee) feels much better!"  I learned
to get out of my own way and let the Spirit come through me, guiding me in my practice and my
life.  

Eventually I became attuned as a Reiki Healer, learned to facilitate SoulCollage and BioSpiritual
Focusing, met many, many spirited seekers along the way who encouraged me to "quit my day
job" and devote my life to teaching and bringing these gifts to others.  I feel blessed to be able
to live my life according to St. Francis prayer:

"Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace"  
And so it is...

On Osho Zen Tarot Readings:

Thank you for the enlightening reading today. I am much more excited and feel more
calm about listening to my inner voice. I have a better understanding of the terror I felt,
which lead to distraction and procrastination. Peace and many blessing to you and your
family.

What is Empathic &
Clairsentient?

Clairsentience (also
know as psychometry) is
the ability to hold an
object or touch someone
and sense the energy
surrounding that person,
place or thing. A
clairsentient is an
individual who is
empathetic and senses
energies. Energies can
be light or heavy, smooth
or abrasive, prickly or
gentle, peaceful and airy
or good or bad. For
example, when sensing a
negative situation a
clairsentient may feel
sick, while a positive
experience may feel like
butterflies in the
stomach, or a sense of
feeling safe, peaceful and
light. Learning to discern
positive and negative
energies can make all the
difference when making
decisions in life.
