once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand
“It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and [Read More...]
My heart ripped open and inside I found a tiger
I tell you the journey was intense. I think I died. I am still here. Last spring I was told I had cancer. I am sure that the young eager doctor did his very best, but it turned out he was wrong. I did not have cancer (thank you, thank you, thank you.) Now when [Read More...]
Update from my Europe tour
Hi, just a quick note before I leave for Greece (via Paris!) to immerse myself in wildly devotional Yogini practices and olives and ocean for four weeks. This year I will try my very best to give you updates now and then, although I know that we will, as we always do, enter a different [Read More...]
I belong in this circle
This I know: I belong in the circle of Yoginis. I have always been here. This circle is my teacher, satguru, it is my home, it is my sisters, it is my mother. It is myself. The Yogini lineage goes way back for thousands of years, and the practices we explore in the Awakening Women [Read More...]
Embodied Spirituality
Spiritual awakening is not a process in time, it is neither an awesome experience you once had, nor a goal to reach later. Your memories of the past or our plans for the future are simply thoughts. Thoughts coming and going. Your luminous presence is always right here in the moment, fresh and impossible to [Read More...]
I surrender
How tender it is, the place in us that yearn to trust. In all of us there is an innocence core untouched by cynicism and defense strategies. From here we meet life, wide-eyed in wonder of it all. Here we know how simple it is to love. But many, after years of disappointment and betrayals, [Read More...]
The Journey Home to Beauty
It is natural to love and be attracted to beauty. When someone recognizes beauty in the color of your eyes or in the curve of your thighs, it can feel nourishing and vitalizing. This does not automatically close us to presence; on the contrary, it can relax and open us so that our radiance can [Read More...]
Becoming A Real Woman – Through Sisterhood
Although I have for many years now dedicated my life to the exploration of the awakening feminine and a conscious women’s culture, it has not always been easy for me to be with other women. Eerly in my life I felt great competition towards other women, mainly around men. I felt deep distrust to other [Read More...]
Falling apart
In our ancient myths and practices we rediscover a much needed framework which can help us understand our experience of deep pain and suffering. These myths can be our roadmaps for those times when we feel we have lost our way. Inanna is an ancient Sumerian goddess, and her journey down into the underworld provides [Read More...]
Sister, remember this:
:: you are completely and utterly loved. :: the intelligence that grows the leaves on the trees, is also moving you. Surrender. :: your body is a miracle. It breathes, it pumps, it digests and it moves. It is God in action. Just stop. Stop right now, being so violent towards it. :: the body [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...]
I will not hold my self back to fit in and I will support you in doing the same
For four years I had the honor to meet with a very special circle of girls. They were fourteen young women and we started to meet when they were in sixth grade. The story that follows is about a practice we did together the first time we got together. One of the girls, Anna, had [Read More...]
Women’s Ashram is being born: Watch out
Hi, I had an exuberant little conversation with fabulous Dyana Valentine today about the Virtual Women’s ashram. Take 5 minutes and get inspired to live your life in the deep waters of the feminine, get rid of uncomfortable underwear, and to go for the real deal. Love, Chameli
Are you pushing the river?
One of the most common complaints of our culture is that we don’t have enough time. Stress and burnout are our new plagues. We suffer from insomnia, but hardly anyone is really awake. As we deepen our feminine spiritual practice, connecting with our bodies, cultivating an open receptivity to the moment, we start to listen [Read More...]
You Don’t Have to Be Super Woman
Guest Blog by Carol Stocks “As I see it any individual has two choices; stick your head in the sand or look around and see what reasonable things you can do to help make a difference.” –Senator Susan Bartlett I think I must hear about global warming every time I turn on the news these [Read More...]
Break the Spell of Fear
To me the Awakening Women Way is both an inner journey as well as an outer journey, and the outer journey has taken me around the world and I’ve been meeting with thousands of women in many countries by now. Together we are exploring, like we are exploring together here, how we can live a [Read More...]
I declare myself now for joy
Winter solstice is a time for reviewing. To soberly look into areas of in-completion, areas that are unresolved, it is a time for bringing those dusty parts into awareness, into light. It is a time for clearing out and creating space. Wide open clear space. For the new. After a powerful ritual in our Women’s [Read More...]
My first TEDx talk: The Fierce Face of the Feminine
In early December, in the very last lap of the year of 2010, another dream of mine came through: I was invited to give a TEDx talk! It was the amazing powerhouse-women of SeeJaneDo, who against all odds managed to be chosen to arrange a TEDx Women’s conference right here where I live in the [Read More...]
