About the Book - Buddha on the Dance Floor
The autobiography of Isira’s remarkable journey of enlightenment and beyond.
Isira was born awake. Unusually, she was not just awake to the world around her; she was also awake to her true nature – the eternal Self of pure love and awareness. As a result her life has been, and is, extraordinary. Through deep mystical encounters and worldly traumas and challenges, Isira was able to meet each situation in unexpected ways – revealing an example of liberated being.
Isira writes about her challenges and joys: of the childhood pain of being rejected as a misfit; of life as a street kid; of being raped and almost murdered as a teenager; of travelling to Tibet and ordination by HH the Dalai Lama; of Tibetan Lamas, aware of her incarnation, fetching her from Adelaide to the Himalayas; of marriage and motherhood; of ‘terminal’ illness healed; of discovering her secret Aboriginal heritage.. Throughout all of this she embodied unconditional love and compassion, revealing a powerful love that transformed and miraculously healed many situations.
Around these life events she weaves the story of her vivid inner journey – of dreams and visions; of karmic threads of other lifetimes and planes of consciousness; of insights and wisdom gained; and, with immeasurable gratitude and humility, of profound personal spiritual experiences – ‘awake in the ocean of bliss’. Since the age of 18 her life has been dedicated to the awakening of humanity.
Few Have Travelled the Path of True Enlightenment. Fewer Still Have Written Down the Story in Such Depth
For years, I resisted the call to share my life story, despite constant encouragement from others. But gradually, I understood the deeper purpose—people needed to see enlightenment as a lived, human experience.
I wanted to show that spiritual awakening doesn’t happen in isolation from life’s challenges and struggles. By sharing my journey authentically, I hoped others would find reflections of their own experiences and discover the profound meaning hidden within their personal challenges.

The 21 Keys woven throughout "Buddha on the Dance Floor" form a sacred map of spiritual awakening.
Each Key marks both a completion and a threshold, where life experiences are digested through feeling and insight, leading to deeper realisations.
Drawing from ancient wisdom traditions while incorporating Isira’s unique connection to nature and spirit, each Key represents a crucial stage in the soul’s journey toward enlightenment. Beginning with Key 0 (The Fool) – representing innocent beginnings and faith – the sequence guides us through increasingly profound levels of understanding, challenge, and transformation. Each Key marks both a completion and a threshold, where life experiences are digested through feeling and insight, leading to deeper realisations.
Rather than following a linear path, these Keys reveal how spiritual growth unfolds in spirals, with themes recurring at deeper levels until final enlightenment is reached with Key 21 (Completion). By sharing her journey through these archetypal stages, Isira offers readers a profound framework for understanding their own path of awakening and the universal patterns that guide us home to our true nature.
When Our darkest moments, are met with unconditional love and awareness, They can transform into opportunities for profound awakening and healing.
Chapter 15: Awakening the Dream
In this chapter, Isira shares one of the most transformative moments of her journey—a violent assault that becomes an unexpected gateway to profound spiritual awakening. As a homeless teenager in Adelaide, she encounters escalating danger that culminates in the manifestation of her recurring nightmares. Yet in the midst of this brutal attack, instead of being consumed by fear, Isira experiences a remarkable shift in consciousness. She reaches a state of transcendent awareness where she sees beyond the physical violence to recognize the divine unity connecting all beings—including her attacker—feeling only compassion for his pain and disconnection from love.
Through her near-death experience, she glimpses the eternal nature of consciousness and is offered a choice between remaining in the spiritual realm or returning to fulfill her earthly purpose. The incident becomes a catalyst not only for her own deepening spiritual understanding but also for healing long-standing family wounds, particularly with her father who expresses his love for the first time.

Isira, Wisdom Keeper And Indigenous Elder
Born with an awakened consciousness on Kaurna land in Southern Australia, Isira embodies a remarkable fusion of spiritual wisdom and human resilience. From her earliest years, she demonstrated extraordinary spiritual gifts including healing abilities and natural meditation practices. Despite facing severe childhood challenges including homelessness and near-death experiences, these trials became transformative catalysts in her spiritual journey.
At 18, Isira dedicated her life to humanity’s awakening. Her path led to recognition from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who ordained her after Tibetan Lamas journeyed to Adelaide specifically to bring her to the Himalayas. As an Indigenous woman of Aboriginal, Welsh, Scottish, Germanic, and Spanish heritage, she bridges ancient wisdom with contemporary understanding. Recognised globally as a spiritual teacher and wisdom keeper, Isira works to restore Indigenous wisdom while sharing universal truths of awakening that transcend any single tradition.
