My name is Kae Konishi.
Spelling of Japanese is 小西 香衣 and that means clothes of Buddhist priest (monk) dyed by oil of tree in India (乾陀羅).
I was born in 1986 of celebration day when Japan finished World War Two.
My mother has been living her life making Kimono and growing trees for funeral of Buddhism; I helped her with her job from when I was 13.
I was a curious girl and spent my childhood in nature.

I started as a nail artist and fashion model when I was 19. I worked as a fashion coordinator after I graduated from the college which I majored in law and international law.
I was keen on my job about fashion but I didn't want to do any more day by day.

I was interested in psychology, self-development, the law of attraction and quest of the truth. Because I trusted that the possibility of my life would be more free, happy and satisfied.

When I was 26, I got chance to start yoga. I practiced asana, pranayama and meditation. I met soul (sprit) through healing myself and purifying physically and mentally. My life style has been changing from materialism to being simple in nature through traveling. Beautiful magical things have happened to me since then.

Stay best friend to myself and conscious effort to be easy going.
Stay honest and follow my heart at the present.
Stay with people who have beautiful heart and mind.

I have been making my journey deeper.
My theology is Taoism and free spirit.

My hobbies include snow boarding, stand up paddle surfing, bush walking, knitting in front of the fire, drawing pictures, acrylic painting, learning oil painting, history, cooking Japanese and Italian food as we'll as learning English.

I had lived in Nara, Osaka, Niseko in Hokkaido, Kohama island in Ishigaki of Okinawa in Japan.
I stayed in Geneva in Switzerland, Toronto in Canada, Soul in Korea, Bali in Indonasia. Since being in Australia I have lived in Byron Bay, Nimbin, Brisbane, Tasmania, Melbourne, South Gippsland, and Daylesford.

I speak English, Japanese and learning Portuguese.
I do meditation and asana 2 hours each day.
I don't smoke and don't drink alcohol often.
I'm vegetarian 90% and keen on organic food.
