Hona Om |Who we are
Hona Om is a place where you can come to be as you are. We are born from the call to bring us back to the tune of Nature and embrace the seasons and cycles of the cosmos with others on the same path.
As we clear trauma, our innate siddhis, which are gifts we have been given, that we may always have known, reveal themselves more fully and flourish. We learn to relate in a healthy, nourishing way with both ourselves and others. Life becomes a fun game and exploration. Dreams become reality. Magic lives in each moment.
From practical to other-wordly, ancient teachings to modern application, ancestral healing to silliness; from mind to heart, darkness to light, we Explore. Heal. Expand. & Play in our ever-blossoming expression.
Gather & sing the heart song of the inner altar. Your individual journey is unique yet we are called to cultivate together the remembrance of heart intelligence, our worthiness of love, that we are creatures of creation, & expressions of infinity.
Doing and forcing dissolves into the divine will of Nature. Come home to the heart, reconvene with the Self, and life is filled with infinite exploration, wonder & awe.
Together We Rise.
Hona Om Founder | Akasha Yi
Student, Teacher, Medicine Woman
Hello and Thank You for visiting Hona Om.
I am Akasha, student, teacher, & medicine woman.
Life has been a great teacher…Of how to die. Burn to ash and rise again. Be the light through long, dark nights looking in the mirror every time things go awry, and repeatedly rewriting this story.
My soul calling is to share what I continue to learn about healing, alchemising energy, activating sensuality (the feeling senses), and connecting to Source, Mother Nature.
To live our divine, harmonious nature, to grow, realize magic in each moment, and play this game of life, I have learned, is to peacefully surrender to death.
When I was young, I persistently sought answers to existential questions, namely,”What am I supposed to be doing?”I craved finding direction, knowing my purpose, & to live in gratification, yet was floating in a dark, empty void for years. I was seemingly a happy-go-lucky child secretly living in confusion, unaware of how tormented I was.
I come from generations of medicine men and women who became immigrants, endured war, discrimination, fled their countries of birth, and re-homed in foreign lands.
Death and sickness has surrounded me most of this life, and I have been gifted with clairsentience, which felt like a curse until I understood how to cultivate and care for it. I knew only violence and instability in partnerships and jobs, and began heavily self-medicating until a vision appeared to me of my immanent death. The message was clear: “Drop this body soon and start again, or stay and change EVERYTHING.” It was 2015.
I was given a launching pad for an accelerated journey of coming home to myself, back to nature.
Where there is dis-ease there is the potential for growth and great healing. The past decade has been devoted to being…in a state of love, and so I have been able to witness all the times I am not.
Hours in the dense jungle gazing at the rhythm of the swaying trees & listening to the vibrations of the earth pulsing through this body have offered me the most potent healings.
Meditation & energy work, breath & somatic practices, Vedic teachings, self-study, and sound are the vehicles of healing & self-mastery that I am devoted to.
From a tiny town in Delaware, to PA, to NY, to LA, I was to the coastlines and mountainous jungls of Costa Rica and then to the Himalayas of India.
Through the throes of the most challenging times - this life has given me the blessing of meeting myself at the depths of my soul. Debilitating low self-esteem, instability, chronic illness, and overwhelm have evolved into joyful purpose, fulfillment, connection, and cosmic play.
Once awakening to light by devotedly welcoming fears as a dear friend, the Dharmic path continues to unfold. I am humbled by the path of the divine. To see and be seen, to receive and be received, to be the unique beings we are is the world we get to co-create.
From my heart to yours, thank you for being here on this precious Soul Journey.
We walk together.
