If I could name the one thing that has radically changed my life, it is meditation.
Meditation as a daily practice has enabled me to:
- heal my wounds - relate more consciously - navigate emotional storms, conflict & life challenges - meet my inner masculine - expand my spiritual gifts - experience cosmic sex - deepen in self-love - remain physically & mentally fit & healthy - concentrate deeply - witness my shadows - loosen attachment to & identification with harmful patterns - download creative inspiration - solve problems without thinking - be more authentic
I could go on, but basically meditation makes me the woman I am today.
Which is not to say I've always had an easy relationship with it.
I used to think that meditation, like yoga, was boring. Because I imagined it meant I had to sit stock still and stop thinking. Which was really hard for me as a natural mover and shaker, with a passionate nature and expressive personality !
Over time, through my immersion in conscious dance, tantra, bodywork and Kundalini Yoga, as well as the exploration of many forms of meditation, I realised that meditation can be:
- a way of life, rather than something separate from life - whole-hearted & dynamic - ecstatic & embodied
and that society has privileged a masculine approach to meditation that didn't honour my feminine gifts and womanly body.
Now, in the first month of my Awakening Shakti Mentorship Programme, we are diving deep into the exploration of stillness and meditation as woman.
Recognising that we are different. That our flow, cyclicity, creativity, sensuality and embodiment are not to be denied or escaped, but included in our practice.
I love teaching this piece, not only for the revelations and deepening into being it brings, but also for the practical benefits it gifts us as busy women juggling busy lives.
In these times of challenge and uncertainty, there is an even greater need, to cultivate the capacity for stillness and awareness.
It is, imho, the only thing that can anchor us in assured love, trust and well-being, whatever is happening in the external. It is our ticket to ride the magic carpet of awakening
