Integrating Darkness and Light
Guest blog by Miri Kalliwoda I have been a police detective for many years. I worked in the streets of Berlin for six years and witnessed more than most people can imagine. The various and visible dark sides of people: such as killing, raping and beatings made me believe that life was dark. I was [Read More...]
Once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand
‘Does it hurt?’ asked the Rabbit. ‘Sometimes,’ said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. ‘When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.’ Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,’ he asked, ‘or bit by bit?’ “It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It [Read More...]
Spiritual practice, Sadhana, can be the kindest gift you can give to yourself and the world.
A future goal of perfection will never make sweaty, hot and holy love to you. Why chase a frigid lover made of plastic, when right here right now, intimacy itself is yearning to love you to pieces, to love you all the way in. Awakening, like love, is not an achievement. It is a blossoming [Read More...]

A post card from Greece, 3.
Join the Yogini as she is aligning her hips with the heartbeat of now, wild and soft, dancing through the muddy waters, dancing through the bliss. Dancing fire, dancing silence. Dancing sunrise, dancing sisterhood. She is here for the real, and will not settle for less. No plastic [Read More...]
Sister, Search No More. The Key is Authenticity
Do you want to feed the trance, or do you want to be an instrument of awakening? There’s so much plastic and hype out there, and yes the masses are eager for it, because we think it will feed our soul. But it doesn’t. It never does. Instead we have a culture suffering from painful [Read More...]
Cubicle or Baby?
Guest blog by Karen Bell I can pinpoint the moment when my debut novel, Walking with Elephants, sprang from the collective unconscious into my mind. The story’s underlying message hit me like a ton of bricks—but I’ll get to that later. What drove me to write this novel was how much I’ve seen change in [Read More...]
Come back to reality
Presence is nothing you can remember. In fact you have never ever experienced Presence before. Presence is always fresh, always new. All the ideas you have about Presence can by their very nature only be faint mirages, plastic replicas. Drop them like hot coal. They are not the real deal. The moment you are willing [Read More...]
Dive deeper down into the ocean
Every thing appearing in your experience right now, each sound, each thought, each feeling each pain, each pleasure, ALL of it, are the dance of Shiva/Shakti – an outpouring of unfathomable creativity. Each appearance is a wave arising and dissolving out of Lalita Devi, the one mysterious ocean. This is why the seeking for a [Read More...]

Don’t resist the Holy
She sat in front of me with that burning heart that I have come to recognize as the very essence of a Yogini sister. So in love with truth, so dedicated to the “real deal.” I could spend my whole life just kissing her feet. We were in a gathering with a group of yoginis, [Read More...]
The inner voice
WHY IS IT WHEN WE TALK TO GOD WE’RE SAID TO BE PRAYING, BUT WHEN GOD TALKS TO US WE’RE SCHIZOPHRENIC? ~ Lily Tomlin For 14 years, Meinrad Craighead lived as a nun in Standbrook Abbey in England.

5 Reliable Anchors to Sanity
I am in the middle of a creative explosion. I could call it challenging, trail blazing, obsessive, divinely inspired, mad, exhausting, blissful, meaningful. High. Fast. Vast. Ferocious (and many more words if I was more fluent in the English language.) Lets just call it intense. It is in times like this I get to experience [Read More...]

Are you allowing yourself to be supported?

One day you just find yourself dancing
The infinite universe planted a seed. Inside the seed is all the wisdom, the inspiration and clarity, everything the seed needs in order to grow into what it is meant to be.
