The Heart - Bridges the Worlds of Spirit and Earth
Cameron Tukapua
Cameron is my original family name which I claimed when my father passed, it connects me to my farming background and ways of land based people. This name reminds me to have fun, keep things simple, and stay close to Mama Earth.
Tukapua is my Maori married name. Tu means ‘to stand’ and kapua ‘the clouds’. My destiny has been exploring how to live a grounded spiritual life. Following my Heart is the key for me. Learning about love in my whanau has been my greatest healer.
Many Indigenous cultures refer to life in 3 worlds, ‘Father Sky’ above-the spirit, ‘Mama Earth’ below-the body, Humans in the middle connect through the Heart - ruler of awareness and mind.
Early Life Shapers
Shift how we see the world - our lives transform.
From Day 1 of Chinese medicine study I discovered how I belong to a living system of energy that is always seeking balance. It was super empowering to see how the body-mind-spirit connects. I could easily see the primary wounds of my early life story.
Alongside my study of Acupuncture I began meditating which awakened the knowing of my Heart and made me happier. Following my Souls deep yearnings, I’ve explored how to use my Heart to steer my thinking-mind. I call this Heartfelt Living.
Showing up Heart awake and aware is our doorway to higher awareness. Guided by a higher view of life’s we can ground our dreams into practical steps and actions. Living from the Heart is empowering. We become the Sovereign Ruler of our lives.
Healing in Relationships
Relationships engage the Heart and reveal what is meaningful in life. Healing in relationship creates our preferred future.
Practice & Teaching
In 1985 I began my practice of Acupuncture which I love and enjoy to this day. In 1993 I taught Chinese medical philosophy for a year in a Retreat Centre in Hawaii. In that magical fiery paradise my Heart was opened to the JOY of healing in group
1999 -2006 I was Owner-Director of the Christchurch College of Holistic Healing - an Acupuncture practitioner training College, approved by New Zealand Qualifications Authority. During these years I began travelling to China hosting Yoga and Qigong retreats, sharing Ancient Wisdom teachings
For over 2 decades I’ve co-led Yoga and Qigong retreats in nature settings China, Bali, Australia, New Zealand. I LOVE sharing teachings on true nature, and how to access this through Heartfelt connecting = Heartfelt Healing.
