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...]

Pour Some Loving Kindness Into the Place of Not Enough
When you first arrived into this human form you came with exuberance, eager to show the world the gift of YOU. Then a little time passed by, and slowly you began to feel a vague sense of not being “enough”. Just as the air we breathe is shared by us all, sadly this underlying current [Read More...]
Are you allowing yourself to be supported?
In my Yoga class this morning I found my self leaning my legs up towards the wall, a blanket was rolled up underneath my thighs. I had two pillows supporting both my wrists, and one under my head. Oh, and did I mention the warm soft blanket hugging my whole body? This was the point [Read More...]

pssst… sister… the universe is hiring
So I pray. It is my job. For real. Everything that we explore in the Yogini circles, everything you read here, everything, arises from prayer. But what about self empowerment? What about taking charge of our lives? What about looking for the answer from our own wisdom? What about all the ways women have given [Read More...]
to dive unreservedly into life
It sounds great just to be present. Who wouldn’t choose that? When we look a little closer, we realize that in order to live it, we will have to get down in our bodies. And stay. It is not always pleasant to be in our bodies, but to be present, means to welcome life in [Read More...]
When will you surrender to the dance? For real.
Every living being perceives subject and object, but the Yogini resides in their union. ~ Vijnanabhairava Your body is energy, energy that sometimes moves so slowly that it appears and feels solid, yet in it’s deepest essence, at the crossroads where the scientist and the mystic gaze at each other in absolute surprise, we find [Read More...]

Monsters Need Love Too
Guest Blog by Toko-pa Turner Every self-respecting superhero has an arch-enemy. No matter how strong you get, there will always be a personal kryptonite that drops you to your knees, reduces you to tears, keeps you up all night churning, or causes you to behave badly. Even if you’ve grown wise to it, somehow it [Read More...]
Live as puja ~ beauty- ritual- devotion
Before I sat down to write this note to you, I lit a candle, some incense, and I spread the last withering rose petals from my garden at the feet of my statue of Saraswati, the Goddess of art and writing and creativity. I created a puja.
A woman awake to her Shakti knows herself as a spark of divinity

Have you had tea with your inner monsters lately?
At the very beginning of time there existed a single sublime couple: the lovely mother earth, Gaia, and the magnificent heavenly sky, Uranus. Gaia was so beautiful that Uranus desired to make never-ending love with her. This celestial lovemaking produced awesome gods, pretty human beings and unwholesome frightful monsters. Ever maternal, she loved them [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...]
How does it Taste? What Texture does it Have?
In our feminine embodiment practices we are not so interested in “why”. Analyzing has its place, of course, but in terms of exploring the deeper layers and the piercing potential of the feminine path, we are encouraged to let go of the linear “cause and effect” thinking. Everything is connected, but in a much multifaceted [Read More...]
