Heart Sharing 5: Walking the Inner Trail - Outer Trail Reflection with host Jacob RA Dodds

Hello sweet soul, welcome. Today I share about my journey of walking part of the Te Araroa trail of Aotearoa, New Zealand. Making it to around the 840km (520miles) mark. Consciously walking many different terrains, as well as hitching and busing when necessary. The people, the land, the incredible support, the inner journey, the healing of myself and the earth.  If you wish to see the 100's of photos from the walk, please see my facebook profile under the photo album, 'Today, I walk'. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3993698037530159&type=3 

BIO: As a multi dimensional galactic being, Jacob is calm, grounded and present. He is very aware of his humanness and his soul expression being in harmony. The importance of a joyful life and the blessings and growth his life experiences have given him. Along with the choices that support his conscious evolution. He is very in touch with his innate nature and being one with mother earth and all of the natural world. He creates a space for you to connect with this within yourself, through his many offerings of podcasts, conscious art, multi-authored books, earth healing excursions,  personal guidance and/or alchemy sessions.

He talks about how our frequency and the way we are expressing, has a ripple effect in the field. Our own field, earth’s and the collective. That this quantum field is always communicating with us and is here to support us. So, it’s imperative to have the tools that assist us to create a life lead by the heart and to have awareness of Unity Consciousness. To re-member who we truly are, the power that is us, knowing and embodying our unique codex and that life is about being curious, courageous and creative.
