The wise woman does not confuse the road map with the road or indulge in dogmatic thinking.  She knows she can paint the ocean by dipping her brush in it, for she is the sea and the brush and the artist of her perceptions.  Heal your ignorance, discover your wisdom, awaken the Seer.

Patanjali, Yoga Sutra 2:24-26

SPIRITUAL PHILOSOPHY  Aimee believes each individual's spiritual path is unique, pointing us inward on a journey to our source of life. It is here we may find a stillness and grace that connects us to each other and all that is. Life is our greatest teacher, perfectly presenting people and situations to reflect back to us the lessons we are currently learning on our own path.

While honoring the uniqueness of each person's spiritual path, Aimee delights in the knowledge that the core teachings of most religions and spiritual traditions are more similar than they are different.  Aimee's spiritual philosophy is strongly influenced by the teachings of Jesus Christ, Guatama Buddha, Maharishi Patanjali, Don Miguel Ruiz and native spiritual traditions from around the world. Among the other teachers who have inspired her are Matthew Fox, Teilhard de Chardin, the Dalai Lama, Pema Chodron, Thich Nhat Hanh, Paramahansa Yogananda, Carolyn Myss, Jean Houston, Anodea Judith, Susan Gregg, Alberto Villoldo and Eckhart Tolle.
