Updates on Me
My passions focus on 5 areas: yoga, energy healing, art, personal development, and sexuality. I chose the business name Thou Art Whole in an effort to congeal all 5 of these concepts. I am passionate about each of these topics and am seeking education as I continue on my journey.
I have learned and explored human anatomy through getting certified as a Wilderness First Responder, and Yoga Teacher. Human anatomy astounds me in its intricacies and strengths.
Internationally Yoga Teacher Certified: I am a yoga teacher. I love yoga and have practiced for over 6 years. Thou Art Whole would love to create a 1 – on – 1 yoga lesson just for you. I also offer small group yoga classes for $25/person or a discounted rate if made 1 month in advance. I am gearing up to offer a weekly yoga class on Fridays at City Park. It will be at 6:30pm to 7:30pm. The first 3 classes are free and after that, it’s only $15 per class.
ENERGY HEALING
Quantum Touch Certified: I am excited about practicing Quantum Touch, an intuitive energy healing modality. I am currently increasing my healing practice. If you are in the Fort Collins, CO area, hit me up and let me know your healing needs. If you aren’t local, I can also do distance healings. I want to help people feel happier and healthier for our shared future. As a scientist, I hope that one day we will study Life Force science. I believe that at some point religion and science will align, but that is not the point of this blog. It is my hope that through energy healing, we can learn about our lives on a deeper level.

ART
I earned my bachelor’s in Biology with an Emphasis in Ecology and Chemistry in 2010. I took ceramics as a senior and found myself in the guild more often than the biology lab. I have also explored performing arts including Jazz Dance, Lyrical, Choreography, and Acro Yoga. In 2016, I fell in love with making glass mosaics. I have taught art classes including stained glass, and jewelry making. I see the Earth as the original artist and inspiration of all beauty.
I create art because I love the creative process. I have been making art professionally since I was eleven and sold earrings at a fair. My overall vision is to make art that makes people feel. I donot limit my work to a single theme, but rather create art as my mood dictates. I love painting abstract pieces that make the audience think and question. I juxtapose discordant subjects to cause the viewer to draw a new connection. I love learning new techniques and hearing criticism to improve my work. I have created an abundance of jewelry for sale online, https://www.facebook.com/ArtByBellaRuiz and https://www.etsy.com/shop/
I have worked in many mediums including: silk painting, ceramics, watercolor, acrylics, tempera, glass mosaics, wire wrapping, tie dying, and stained glass. I am currently exploring watercolor and acrylics on fabric.
I have also enjoyed being a model for bodypainting and painting models. Anything can be a beautiful canvas for art.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
I am currently on my own journey with personal development. I know it is something I want to create for everyone. Personal growth is important as it helps you achieve your goals and dreams. I am in a program that encourages a regular gratitude practice. When you do your gratitude practice, be sure that you really feel gratitude. For me, it took months of practicing say “I am so happy and grateful for x,” before I realized it would be helpful to add the emotion. The emotion of being grateful feels like hugs. It is important to spend at least 5 minutes everyday doing gratitudes. You can start small, but eventually, it will become so important that you want to spend more time at it. Personally, I want to have a competition of two people and all the things, people, and events for which they are greatful. I think it would be fun and an amazing experience for both parties.
It is also important to having intentions before you set out to do something. Setting the intention helps you see that the event turns out the way that you want it. It also keeps you aware to your highest and best views. The other thing I love about personal growth is how it encourages you to get closer to who you want to become. You want to imagine what that human would do and what he/she would say and act. I have also been dressing as she will dress, and imagining how she would speak. The dress is important, as how you dress can influence how you feel. Also, dress and posture sets the mood and commonly people judge you on your dress, posture, and confidence (think interviews, but also everyday). I have yet to coach anyone, but I know that as I learn more, that will be an opportunity as well.
One of the important practices to learn within personal development is what your limiting beliefs are. To determine your limiting beliefs, you really have to journal and explore your subconscious. With all the new habits, it is important to make it fun. You want the habits to sink in and last your lifetime, so play with them, don't take them too seriously.

SEXUALITY
Thou Art Whole includes sexuality because it is an important part of our human nature. At this point I have been reading books about Tantric Sex and Sex Ed textbooks. I regularly attend classes on sexuality. I am not yet certified to teach, but I am love learning and will write often.
I was a nude model for a figure drawing class. The thing I loved about being a model was the praise I received each week. I felt like I was a piece of artwork. It was a very loving atmosphere. I gained quite a bit of body confidence. Also, I used my yoga and dance background to give interesting poses. We held poses in 2 min, 5 min, 10, and 15 min increments. End of Semester drawings were a single pose held for 2 hours, with 8 breaks.

The blog on sexuality is currently limited to only those over 18 years old. Other countries besides USA have programs that teach children about their anatomy and consent from a young age. I may at some point create blogs specifically for children, if I attend classes on that, as well. At this point, I am unsure how that would work. Anyways, that’s all on my hopes and dreams for now. Never quit your day dreaaam. Thank you folks.
