Why remember?
As I sat by the lake this morning, my wiser self suggested we meditate. I closed my eyes and soon felt a very strong magnetic pull through my sacrum and coccyx. Body was attuning to land. To home. It was happening without my trying ‘to ground’. There was the strong pull of the earth, a surrender of effort, which we might also call ego, and then came the stillness of the stones. An eternal peace, or nitya, in Sanskrit, which is also another name for the Goddess Durga. My body was remembering the land and as I surrendered to the process, my being remembered the primordial peace at the centre of the Self.
It is ALL path ✨
This past week has far exceeded expectation, as 19 of us gathered in Portugal for the Samāveśa Graduates retreat. It was an invite-only affair for students from the last 3 years of online trainings - many I had not met in person - and so you can imagine there was a lot of love in the air.
Why me?
I have done huge amounts of healing work, thanks to people like Chris Skidmore, my first therapist Nicola, my teachers Leila, Bridget, Tara, Scott, Sianna, Hareesh, craniosacral therapists like Joanna Jones, vortex healers like Daisy Nokes. I have allowed myself to be held by many, I have received so much kindness, I have experienced Bowen, Vortex, Reiki, Cranio, Ayurvedic massage, Thai massage, crystal therapy, chakra healing, Chinese methods, all the yoga, meditation, mantra, breathwork, sound, astrology, shamanic journeying. I lose track.
Perfection is for the Gods
The story of lack, of not enoughness, of not being rich enough, thin enough, smart enough, productive enough. Of not having enough medals, awards, targets and goals. All spiritual traditions, masters of consciousness (I realise the paradox in that phrase), philosophy teachers and wisdom keepers point to the same thing.
Never wear too small shoes
I’ve been experiencing a slow dawn recently, as I’m starting to see how massive Samāveśa has become. She is throbbing with potential and until recently I was still viewing the School as my side gig. You know, just something I do on Sundays.
Devotion, Desire and Discipline
We all have resistance. And we all know that if we stay in resistance then realisation doesn’t get realised. The changes we want to make remain out of reach. The person we know we can be and all the potential that is simmering beneath the surface stays right there. Simmering, yearning, longing to be known.
Musings from the ebb 💧
It was something like early 2020 late 2019 and I had to be all over social media ‘selling’ the 2020 training. I hated it. Didn’t want to do it. I was in total resistance. Why can’t people just come? I don’t want to be on social media. Who the hell wants to listen to what I have to say. My life isn’t interesting. It’s narcissistic. I don’t want to play.
Progress not perfection
On the last day of this nourishing break with my badass bike gang girls, I decided to carry out a solo mushroom ceremony. It was an existential, diamond skied psychedelic ride that ended with me building an epic fire and chanting to Kali for quite a long time. Let’s just say that a whole lot of familiarity, safety, self images and ways of seeing have been thrown in the fire, as requested, and it’s been wild, intense, dark and revelatory.
Uprooting old patterns 🌱
These seedlings would never grow if I didn’t make space, turn the soil, feed the soil, plant them in the soil. And so, of course, I looked at this seemingly ordinary task through the lens of soul because I just can’t help myself.
Trust the timing of your life
The Tantrikas were absolute fucking wizards at this game. Because they knew it was a game. Whatever identity, self image or story you are currently attached to is, in some way, limiting you. In order to believe your stories or perform your roles you have to exclude all the others. But all the others are still there to be played with.
Eclipse season and the lighthouse of your life
As we transition into eclipse season, I am tuning into these themes of old doors closing so new ones can open. And I am not surprised by the synchronicity of our monthly New Moon refuge, Hush, which launches on April 21st, the day after eclipse season begins.
