Ruth Davis

Ruth is a somatic therapist.  Ruth believes each person has a direct path to the divine. She offers private sessions to bring the energies of Yin and Yang into balance and harmony.  From here one can experience mental clarity and depth of presence.  Normally our awareness in projected into the world and we can become ungrounded.  This pivitol work brings the awarenss home, and grounds it in the Spiritual Heart (soul/essential Self).

At the age of six, Ruth had a spiritual awakening in her first ballet class.  Her heart burst open to the divine, and joy filled her body.  She felt she was dancing to God, the all and everything.  She felt love and connection to every human being.  Her dance became her devotional practice, which eventually matured into the energetic studies of Yoga, Chi Gung, and the movement of consciousness through the body and beyond it.

Ruth began meditation practice at 16 (1968) when she embraced Surat Shabd Yoga as her spiritual path.  Shortly after her initiation, she started visiting holy sites in India, including the Punjab region, Rishikesh, Hardwar, Varanasi, and Chennai.  She is a continuing student of Vedic wisdom & Mystic Catholicism, with particular connection to the teachings of Ramana Maharshi, the silent saint. She raised 2 daughters and has 2 grandchildren.  She holds certifications in Chi Gung, Time-Line Therapy with Robert Dilts, Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP, Ayurvedic Medicine.

Currently,  she lives and works in Montecito, California, with her husband, Bruce Davis, PhD.  They share silent retreats at the Pacifica Graduate Institute.
