Every once in a while you meet an instant convert to the joyful revolution. You know it the minute you put a hoop around their hips or hand that they’re hooked for life. It’s an incredible sight, bearing witness to someone’s discovery of the hoop’s super magical properties. This past fall/early winter while living in Chile with some of my ‘logical-family,’ I got to witness one of these extraordinary ~hoopiphanies~ in my friend Christine, as she began to find heightened states of liberatory movement through the exquisite simplicity of the hoop. She says, “For me the hoop allows me to move as I have always longed to. I am so grateful that you came into my life right at this time to share your hooping wisdom with me. You have been my bruja hoop guide Noelle and I am so thankful.” And I, too, am so thankful to have gotten the chance to share my love of hooping with my southernly hemisphered friends in the woods! It’s why I have chosen to do the hoop-work I do; because I truly believe how powerful a healing force the movement of the hoop can be~ and souls like Christine continually serve to prove me right. Gracias, Christine! Amor y besitos a ti, siempre~
