Searing Honesty and Extraordinary Bravery in This Amazing True-Life Story of a Remarkable Scotswoman

Chris grew up in the impoverished aristocracy of post-war Scotland. The black sheep of her family, she struggled against the confines of class and gender, searching for truth in an atmosphere where lies were the norm.

Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) November 6, 2009 -- My Sweet Wild Dance is released by author Mikaya Heart.

Chris grew up in the impoverished aristocracy of post-war Scotland. The black sheep of her family, she struggled against the confines of class and gender, searching for truth in an atmosphere where lies were the norm. As soon as she was old enough to escape her parents’ stranglehold, she tried on many different personas, experimenting with drugs, free love, and anti-establishment politics.

Always on the cutting edge of radical thought, she was active around environmental issues decades before they were common knowledge. Turning to Nature for solace, she moved to rural California, where she worked as a jill-of-all-trades, came out as a lesbian, and engaged in healing work centered around her sexuality. Facing her fears and finding love, she experienced many varied, riveting, and mind-expanding adventures that brought her to a place of deep compassion and forgiveness. Eventually, satisfied with nothing short of absolute freedom, she sold everything and took to the road, becoming the woman who follows the wind.

Mikaya Heart knows how to dance her own sweet, wild dance, and she offers us a compelling picture of the agony and the ecstasy that are the rewards of choosing one’s personal truth. The path she has forged through the jungle of life is an inspiration to anyone who is looking for the true meaning of love in our changing world. Heart grew up in Scotland and lives in rural northern California where she built her own house out of recycled lumber.

She has always worked hard at her personal healing, and is a keen writer. This led to a book on women’s sexuality – When the Earth Moves: Women and Orgasm. After teaching classes on adult sexuality for a few years, she decided to focus elsewhere. Several of her short stories, and two other books – The Straight Woman’s Guide to Lesbianism, and With the Sun in my Eyes – have also been published. The latter, a true story about a shamanistic healer from Seattle, is an excellent introduction to the practical applications of shamanic work.

Always dissatisfied with shallow, pat explanations, Mikaya has struggled to understand what life is really about. Over the years, that crystallized into existential questions, such as, what or who am I? Who put me here on this planet, and why? She eventually found answers to those questions through AMAG, a number of non-physical beings who speak through Dayana Jon. After a couple of accidents, a strange illness, and a number of startling experiences, Mikaya had an epiphany that led to her selling all of her property, in order to be absolutely free. She now teaches kitesurfing all over the world, following her heart from day to day, and going where she is called.
