A Pathway of Evolutionary Embodiment
Meditation & Subtle Competencies for Healing
The practice I am teaching these days is called 3-Sync or 4-Sync meditation.
The purpose is to bring awareness to various aspects of our aliveness in service of connecting, integrating, grounding, and including what is essential within each of us. The more connected and aligned we are, the more freedom and capacity we have to compassionately respond to what's happening within us and in the world, bringing our unique participation and creativity.
This approach to practice comes from Thomas Huebl, who I've been studying with online for the last three years. The meditation has similarities with mindfulness, nonviolence, and seems to occur in various forms in various traditions. It has similarities with Antakarana meditation, vichara (shadow work), and light meditation which I learned from Rod Stryker from the Para Yoga tradition and Pandit Rajmani Tigunait in the tradition of the Himalayan tradition nearly 20 years ago. In my experience, what differentiates this approach to meditation is the intention to become curious about the inter-relationships of various aspects, gently and gradually welcoming into presence what was previously fragmented or numb (also known as trauma). This practice forms the foundation for many other, more complex healing processes.

You may know that I’ve been dedicated myself to learning about personal, ancestral, and collective trauma healing for the past 2-3 years, since the beginning of 2018. These recent studies have built on the healing work I've been practicing and sharing for the past two decades.

TESTIMONIALS - Transformation Playground Coaching
I've done years of therapy, read books, looked to religion, tried meditation, and practiced yoga, but until coaching with Rhonda, I never realized how many of the answers were already under my nose- and throughout my body. We are amazing creatures with so much wisdom and we don't even know it! Give yourself one of the best gifts you will ever receive and spend some time with Rhonda. It is empowering, exciting and FUN! In addition to wisdom, we are full of joy and this is a chance to reconnect with it. -- Sarah H.
"Rhonda is a brilliant all out life player and wonderful at inviting an exploration of experience through movement!" -- Mari H.
We did our coaching session via Skype & I loved that I could be in the comfort of my own home as Rhonda walked me through emotional and physical practices that helped me work on developing more flow of energy in my body and to trust my intuition and honor my emotions. Rhonda really knows how to approach difficult, personal issues with kindness and love that I quickly keyed in to wanting to develop that in myself as well. I still daily use her techniques she taught me, particularly "Yes Breath" and asking myself "wonder questions" when dealing with stressors in my life. I feel like I have a new lease on my life and that I can approach every day with a sense of wonder and discovery. -- Megan H.
"Rhonda Mills is one of the most joyous free spirits on the planet. Her heart is wise, open, and widely connected--and she brings to her client work not only a truly impressive and holistic skill set and years of experience, but also the exquisite freshness of her very being. Working with Rhonda is like traveling to the underworld on butterfly wings: even the scariest parts of my life become translucent when I talk and sing and dance them out under her expert guidance and care." -- Lynnea B.
"What I love most about Rhonda's coaching work is her ability to lead me to discover my own truths. I found the process to be liberating to know that the answers we seek are within ourselves. Rhonda's intuitive wisdom was very supportive - guiding, witnessing and validating my process, as I realized what I wanted and what needed to be done to live to my highest potential!" -- Michelle G.
TESTIMONIALS - Dance Events
"Dance Journey is completely freeing and self-expressive. I’ve discovered things about myself I have not discovered in any other way. You come and you move your body in any way you want, responding to the various and incredible sounds of music … the release that happens through this kind of experience is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Dance Journey is a time to be authentic to yourself –discovering who you are so you take that home with you. You’re with other people where they are all expressing themselves in their individual way, and you interact if you choose, you slow down if you choose, you speed up if you choose, you skip if you choose, you stop if you choose. It’s amazing the experiences you move through in the short period of time by being coached and invited to be your authentic self. Dance Journey is absolutely incredible and life-changing!" -- Joan Marie
“I’ve always wanted to go dancing with others, however I don’t have the desire to go to nightclubs. Fortunately, Dance Journey on Friday nights provides the perfect opportunity of satisfying my dancing needs and fellowship. And on top of it, the music selection is great! I don’t have to worry about being a good dancer, because the environment is so accepting. I leave feeling a greater sense of happiness. What a great time. I felt so free! It was so easy to be authentic! Dance Journey is awesome!" -- Susan R.
"I am always amazed at how powerful and deep the shifts are with dance journey!" -- Michelle G.
I really benefited the first night I attended Dance Journey. Rhonda welcomed me and provided a safe, sweet & nonjudgmental space for me to explore my intuition & how my body speaks to me. I loved the dance sequence we were spontaneously allowed to create based on her guidance & lesson based on Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey". I left class with a new inner awareness & energy. As Walt Whitman once wrote: "I sing the body electric." Rhonda has a gift to help you learn that song. -- Megan H.
