How to avoid being infected

February 24, 2015 by Richard and Namaste Leave a Comment

I adore art, learning from amazing people, beauty in all it’s forms.

Some years ago there was an amazing artist I followed. Her work was amazing, and her personality was quirky and totally her own. I bought her products, got involved in her classes and was enjoying myself immensely.

One day I was googling her name seeking out any and all tutorials she may have made and I came upon a website where a number of people had written not-so-favorable things about her.

Smashing her character.

Making fun of her personality.

Mind you this had nothing to do with me.

But I’ll admit that all of this negativity cast a big damper on my fun.

I found myself beginning to see the flaws others had seen – even though I didn’t want to. I eventually was able to push out the negativity and enjoy her again- but in the mean time I found myself listless and disconnected.

Has this ever happened to you?

You’re in love with someone- a teacher, a man or woman, an idea, a dream. They light you up, make you happy… you feel satisfied and hopeful.

Then someone or a group of someones start tearing it apart. Calling it worthless. Questioning his/her value to you. Causing you to doubt your own heart?

Most recently I noticed this with another teacher I adore- however being older and wiser- I opted to not take that ride – not because I couldn’t withstand it – but because why would I allow the damper on my joy?

And that’s the problem isn’t it?

So often we accept the gossip, the negative video, we click on the link and watch the TV program because of FOMO.

Fear of Missing Out.

One of the insidious lies negativity whispers to us is that we’ll miss out on something “needful” by not tuning in.

By not listening.

That we’re being “naive” and putting our head in the sand.

I mean of course you’re a pretty smart cookie and you can listen/watch/read/ about the negativity and it won’t hurt you at all, right?

Wrong.

Negativity is an infection darling. Of the worse sort.

We tend to think we’re inoculating ourselves against negativity by our exposure.

Nothing can be further from the truth.

Inoculating yourself against negativity by exposure is like letting an Ebola patient cough on you hoping it’ll keep you from getting Ebola.

It *might* work- but is it worth the risk?

You may be wondering what to do instead…

Supersaturate yourself with positivity – put it on the radio, in your social media feeds, in your inbox, on youtube, everywhere.
Be part of the solution – turn down any invitation to engage with negativity
Protect your mental garden – try not dwelling on any form of negative thought for 7 days.

What do you do love?

How do you protect your mind and cultivate a mindset that is congruent with the version of yourself you’re seeking to Embody?

Lessons from Yoni Eggs – Wabi Sabi

October 21, 2014 by Richard and Namaste Leave a Comment

Yoni eggs are often considered as a fabulous tool for creating more sexual pleasure and increasing vaginal toning. And while I’ve written about that quite a bit HERE– they are ALSO fabulous healers with many additional uses and lessons to teach. I thought I’d share a few of those lessons here from time to time.
Because I’m active in the Yoni Egg community I have the opportunity to hear the concerns of women when it comes to the use of Yoni eggs. One thing I’ve noticed is concerns over imperfections in the eggs.

While I’ve had this concern come up extremely infrequently with my clients – I’ve had women approach me with pictures, questions, and fears of eggs they’ve purchased from others wanting to return them for fear that something was wrong with them.

It kept niggling at me and I couldn’t understand why – when I went into meditation about what the lesson was Spirit said “Self-Acceptance”.

Have a cup of tea and let’s talk darling.

Yoni eggs are made of naturally occurring materials. The are Earth Grown – not factory produced. This means that they often include occlusions, inclusions, and other distinctions that should not be considered imperfections but character traits.

We live in a world where we’ve been taught that excellence and quality are known by perfection. Perfection being known by lack of distinction. This idea of perfection affects women profoundly in every area of life.

Women look at a slight bulge in the belly and call it fat.

A few stretch marks and call that disfigured.

A partner who can’t read her mind is called “indifferent”.

Children who get less than straight A’s are called “rebellious”.

This perfectionist tendency is pervasive in our culture. There is little to no room for learning, growing, and being… well, HUMAN.

When you begin to embark on a healing path this quest for the Perfect can still show up. And show up in ways that can be deceptive.

We call it “Not settling” – which sounds good- but in reality, understanding the beauty in what IS is not settling- it’s actually elevating one’s life by infusing it with contentment.

In other words – your sense of self-worth is not increased by judging others more- it’s increased by judging you less.

What does this have to do with Yoni Eggs?

When your sense of Self Value is synonymous with being critical and scrutinizing with a fine tooth comb of judgement everything around you – this energy pervades everything.

Including your relationship with your Yoni Eggs.

Instead of looking at what the egg has to offer to you – you look at it with eyes of judgement, skepticism, maybe even fear.

As an example, I’m sharing a photo below of some yoni eggs that I own. Some have been purchased from other purveyors (I like to support other women too!), some are mine, one was an egg that a client returned and I felt drawn to accept into my life.

As you look at the eggs above- do you see the flaws? The imperfections? What’s lacking?

Can you go a little deeper?

Can you feel the energy? The healing? The Strength?

Here’s the truth- we tend to judge our yoni eggs in the same way we judge ourselves (and likely judge our yonis!)

And in this, we miss a Great gift.

Within the realm of Crystal healing, there is what are known as “Empathic Crystals”. Empathic Crystals are crystals that were mishandled at some point in their mining or formed in spite of less than ideal circumstances. Rather than being harmed by this- is gives these crystals a unique empathy for human suffering and pain and a DEEPER ability to heal their human companions from trauma, abuse, and injury. The help change the world around you and offer you a huge dose of compassion and kindness for yourself and others.

This from a Yoni Egg that is often rejected by the woman who likely MOST needs it.

Yoni egg Crystals are by definition “wabi-sabi” – they embody the beauty of imperfection. They help us learn that the imperfect defines our lives yet does not diminish our joy and our ability to live lives of excellence.

In fact, it can be the actual embodiment of the sublime.

This is not to say that we Yoni egg purveyors should not attempt to offer the best quality eggs we can. Nor is it to say you need to take an egg that has an obvious deep gash in it and place it within your Yoni- that is not prudent. A good rule of thumb is to see if you can FEEL any sharp edges and if you feel with your intuition that an egg is unsafe – please follow that dear heart. But make sure it’s your intuition and not your fear, not your perfectionism, and not a lack of self-acceptance showing up. Need help figuring it out? Try this or Feel free to reach out!

The Emptiness of the New Moon

September 23, 2014 by Namaste Leave a Comment

I’ve been working with the moon for a long time now- and I am now beginning to offer a lot more of her lessons. Going deeper into some of the tools and techniques I’ve offered before. Being led towards discussions on the more esoteric or hidden lessons to be learned.

One of the common mistakes that I see being made when it comes to working with Lunar energy is to plant too early or to release too soon. It seems that often we’re not very comfortable with those places of transition. Since the New Moon s nearly upon us let’s talk about her energy a bit.

The New Moon is the time period where (historically) people were terrified. There was no moon to alight the sky, all was dark and void. The New Moon has an energy of emptiness- she invites us, lures us, seduces us towards a delicious emptiness.

This can be scary and in shadow can take the form of helplessness. Hopelessness. It can feel like Lack or trigger our worries about lack – about not having enough or being enough.

“In the beginning it is always dark” ~The Neverending Story

Click To Tweet

We have a love affair with the light. We love illumination. This is wonderful – but what can often be overlooked is that at the beginning – there is darkness and mystery. It is a necessary part of the flow. This emptiness allows us room to create, to conceive. We can not conceive in an already full womb. We can not delve into what it is to have a life full of love and abundance, joy and peace if we have already filled our lives with the pain of disappointment and anger.

This is the New Moons gift to us- to become empty.

To start again.

To LET GO.

It is only after the release and the emptiness that we are then ready to renew, to begin again. To plant the desired seeds and go towards our desired results.

The New Moon is our monthly Sabbath (we actually have another in the Full Moon) our time of not planting nor harvesting. Our time of BEING. We have shed all that we do not need. We have done our work. Now it is time to BE with this emptiness. We needn’t rush ahead and begin to plant again. We let our inner ground lay fallow. We sit in the darkness – welcoming her wisdom and potential. We learn we need not feel this space. This time before Time. We learn to welcome it – this is where the Feminine takes shape. This is where our Feminine energy arises.

The New Moon is our beloved and wise friend, inviting us to the Temple of emptiness within. This month allow yourself this time. Go in. Be empty. Welcome the darkness.

Live. Love. Lush and Fearless,

Awakened Shakti – What you should know!

September 16, 2014 by Namaste 1 Comment

On this Womb Wisdom/Conscious Femininity path the term Shakti comes up quite a bit. I have observed many of my SiStars beginning to actively seek to embody Shakti energy and on occasion Shakti in her form as Kali.

Shakti energy is incredibly powerful. Just understanding this energy and personage could take a lifetime of study and it would be hubris to presume to tackle this in it’s entirety here in a blog post- That said I would like to offer a bit of insight that I believe can really help as you seek to engage on this level.

Shakti and Shiva need each other– Shakti is INCREDIBLY powerful!! She is awe-inspiring and terrible depending on the aspect of her you’re engaging with. That said Shakti needs Shiva as much as Shiva needs Shakti.

Shakti and Shiva are complements– In modern culture, the idea seems to be put forward that each individual should seek to contain both the Whole of Shakti and the Whole of Shiva individually. I believe this ignores the power of the complementary interconnectedness that this relationship is supposed to embody. I believe that the Shakti/Shiva metaphor is supposed to show us our need for each other and teach us how to honor our differences and reach towards each other for support so that we create from a Divine State of Union not Competition or Devaluing. The Shakti/Shiva energy is-NOT to create even more separation or an energy of us NOT needing each other. It’s to teach us that we DO need each other. In the purely nonphysical state this separation is not needed or present – but our experience of the physical is to teach us how to have this with another – not how to isolate ourselves and leave no room for the other.

Shakti without Shiva is Chaos

Click To Tweet

Without Shiva- Shakti becomes chaotic and destructive. She finds her efforts frustrated as her energy lacks direction. She makes tons of effort with very little return and actualization. That which is actualized is difficult to maintain. She finds her direction haphazard and flighty. She jumps to conclusions. This is the nature of the Feminine in that the very aspect that is powerful and delicious – becomes less than effective if not held in balance by its Complement which is found at the opposite pole of the Masculine. Have you ever felt this? Extremely creative, flitting from one thing to another – but feeling ungrounded? Unanchored? – This is an awakened Shakti without Shiva. The Yin and Yang combination is meant to be experienced in Divine Union. While there are occasional two-spirits and those who are created to embody both- this is not the typical or normal state. Most of those who are meant to do this sort of interplay solo know this by their lack of desire for companionship (romantic or non) and their hermit-like existence.

In our culture where we prize independence as the height of strength- we miss the true understanding of how to come in contact and connection with TRUE strength that is created in our embodiment of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine as a COUPLE.

This oneness is so rare that many don’t even seek it anymore and yet I’ve observed more and more people attracting their Twin Flame, more seeking to have this embodiment in their lives.

This is an energetic embodiment and not limited to only Heterosexual couples but can also be found in Gay and Lesbian couples as one partner finds their fulfillment in the embodiment of the Feminine and the other in the Embodiment of the Masculine.

So what if you are single? Are you stuck in lack?

No – I believe that the responsibility of the single individual that seeks to embody either Shakti or Shiva is to find a complimentary energetic embodiment through which they can experience this dynamic interplay. Finding it within yourself is simply NOT ENOUGH. One can find many ways to experience this. Be it through a spiritual practice with others who ARE embodying the complement, or deliberate non-romantic partnership. Let me say here that having a friends with benefits situation is not suitable for this interplay unless there is genuine FRIENDSHIP leading the benefits. This person who is serving as the complement to your Shakti (or your Shiva if you are a man) need to have the following attributes:

Trustworthy
Integrity
Wisdom
Highly embodied Masculine (if you are embodying the Feminine)
Spiritual Maturity
The ability to Speak into your Life in Powerful ways
Autonomy

There needs to be a feeling that you can trust this person with your Feminine and not fear. The same if you are male seeking to embody Shiva. This person needs to be strong and conscious in their own practice – coming to you as an EQUAL Spiritually – not as your student.

If you look around and do not see anyone that fits the bill – don’t lose heart darling! Begin to put forth the request into the Universe – knowing you attract that which you desire!

I hope this helps you as you begin to delve into this deep and profound practice. May you find all that your heart desires.

Learning Divorce Lessons

July 29, 2014 by Richard Leave a Comment

I remember the pain and agony of my divorce.

At times I thought the pain would literally kill me.

It was like walking down a never-ending spiral staircase of razor blades steps barefoot into hell itself.

On a good day. (holla if you know what that feels like)

Vows….well, vows were my friends!

I feel like such a fool, I’ll NEVER be fooled again!

I let this happen. I will NEVER let this happen again!

I vowed any number of times that I would never, ever be in this situation again.

And I worked really hard at making sure I kept that promise to myself.

Armored up….just like a Transformer, or a tank.

Encased my heart in armor plating – nothing could get in…or out for that matter.

I became numb. At the time I remember thinking that numbness wasn’t really what I wanted. But I felt like I had no choice.

Numbness is better than pain, I thought.

I choose to Go Deeper.

I hear the sages talk about how pain can be a teacher.

What’s interesting is that most people automatically assume that the lesson pain is teaching us is to become really, really good at AVOIDING PAIN.

Like I did – Hence the Armor.

Its a common misconception.

And the Real Issue is never pain itself. Pain is just the messenger.

The reality is that pain draws our attention to what the real issue is.

The 10th Law of Karma is The Law of Change. The essence of this law states that “history repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path.”

One of the ideas that broke through the fog of confusion and pain is that my steadfast commitment to NOT being in pain again wasn’t serving me.

I also had someone who loved me unconditionally through my rage and my hurt. My Namaste.

Love is a healing balm to the tortured soul,Truth is a key to unlock the closed doors of the heart.

Click To Tweet

Trying to avoid pain by armoring up is tantamount to avoid getting a stomachache by swearing off food.

Either one will kill you if you keep it up long enough. Die emotionally, or Die physically.

I choose to Go Deeper.

I choose to Love.

Love involves risk. Plain and simple.

If you want to have joy in your life, you have to feel and if you want to feel you have to open up. And if you open up….

Well, you can be hurt.

My body cannot live without food.

And my heart cannot live without love. THIS is the lesson that pain was trying to teach me.

Finally I learned to listen.

Lesson #1. Oaths and Vows are Important. – In many faiths, distinction is made between simple promises and oaths or vows. What I didnt realize is that an oath is a promise invoking God as a witness. In our culture de-constructing a vow (like a marriage vow) takes a shiz-ton of effort. When I swear that I wont EVER do something again (like love, marriage etc.) That’s serious bizness. I had to do some serious work to de-story and unravel the commitment I made to the Path of Being Alone, Angry and Hurt before I could truly heal and move on to a good relationship. Speaking of Anger…

Lesson # 2 When the Anger dissipates – Fear can step in to fill its place. Nobody can remain angry and hurt forever. Eventually it fades away….but what came in to take the place of the anger? Fear. Not a devastating phobia type of fear, just an instinctual avoidance of things that didnt feel safe…Like discussing how I truly felt about anything among other things. I realized that all all that anger eventually settled in my heart like sediment. Solidified anger shows up as fear. Its impossible to move forward with a bunch of fear onboard – I had to unravel and de-story the fear that had become a part of me through the process of my divorce. Working on doing THAT led me to….

Lesson #3 Forgiveness is Essential. I cant truly move forward in my life without forgiveness. Beyond fault finding, beyond grief, beyond anger, remorse, self-punishment and the rest….I found that forgiveness was patiently waiting for me. In order to move forward I needed to forgive myself and forgive her as well. There are no shortcuts, substitutes or excuses. Its a proven fact – Unforgiveness will shorten your life. As long as you feel like you have a good reason for holding on to your lack of forgiveness, you can never be truly free. Through forgiveness I eventually learned to see her as another Divine being having a human experience. Through my work with forgiveness I got to the place where I honestly am thankful for my ex and for all that we shared and for everything that I learned as a result of our time together. Working with forgiveness led to …

Lesson #4 Gratitude is a Gateway. A simple, yet life changing practice was the establishment of a Gratitude Journal. Each day I write down at least 10 things that Im grateful for. On those days when I cannot seem to make the first step in a direction toward anything remotely resembling positivity, this simple, powerful act of literally ‘counting’ my blessings gently leads me toward a place of mental and spiritual clarity and proves to be a tremendously effective act of self love and healing. Someone much wiser than I said that its impossible to be thankful and depressed at the same time. I believe this wholeheartedly.

What lessons is your pain trying to teach you? How often have you repeated the same history, over and over again? Have you made oaths and vows to your own hurt and pain? Still Angry? Hurt?

Do you find yourself having the same OLD arguments in a different relationship with a different person? Are you tormented by the same OLD fears, in your new relationship?

In Abundant Love,

Richard

If you were right here – a message to inspire

July 9, 2014 by Richard and Namaste Leave a Comment

I wish you were sitting with me.

Yes, you.

Right now in this space.

I’d pour you a cup of tea, and place all of my attention upon you.

I’d listen as you poured out your soul and looking deeply into your brilliant eyes, I would hold you in a container of absolute love and acceptance.

When you had emptied yourself of your pain and disappointment, of your fear and anger, of your confusion…. knowing that you had the safety to let your burdens out – I would smile at you softly and I’d tell you with absolute certainty…

You are enough and all would be well.

And I would give you a hug- a real and true embrace that would infuse into your very being.. .You are not alone.

But since you are not here, it is my hope that my words would touch some ache within you and be a balm and inspire you. You are enough. All will be well. You are not alone. There is great love for you here.

I love you,

Namaste

Healing my relationship with my Father

June 15, 2014 by Namaste Leave a Comment

When I was a little girl I was very close to my father.

My family tells me I was such a daddy’s girl – and I vaguely remember my excitement when I saw him. How much love I felt and joy.

In the manner of adults my parents broke up and went their separate ways and as is typical I went with my mother.

From the age of 4 to the age of 15 I did not see my father.

When I did finally go to see him I was in my teens – not the little girl he remembered. I had no real remembrance of him at all. Our relationship was stiff and stilted at best – in part because (rightly or wrongly) I felt the need to defend my mother and her choices – including the way she raised me.

Time passed with my seeing him 3 other times between the ages of 15 and 19.

More time passed.

Periodically I’d talk to him on the phone – but not often. I resented him wanting me to be the little girl he remembered so he could be the dad to her he wasn’t to me.

I was angry. I felt abandoned and disappointed and didn’t want to hear the excuses. The drama. What amounted to me to be a bunch of BS.

I got to a point where I forgave him. I didn’t want to be angry anymore. I released the disappointment and the desire to make him into someone else. I thought I was done

When I had my own daughter. I had many things that I felt I wanted her to have that I did not. But it was more than just hopes and dreams for my daughter. These were internally raging emotions of pains in my own life that I DEMANDED be “fixed” in hers.

I realized that there was something- some part of myself that I hadn’t really allowed to heal.

“Forgiveness is not the healing. Forgiveness is the cleansing that allows the healing to occur.”

So I went inside and touched that little girl. The little girl I was when my father broke my heart. The little girl sitting at her 3rd birthday looking through her cards for one from her dad – the card that never came.

I touched that little girl that felt disappointed when he didn’t show up. That felt left behind, cast aside.

I put her little hand in my palm and kissed her cheeks and said, “It’s okay – you are not forgotten…”

I went to the young mother looking for validation from her father- only to be met with disapproval.

I allowed myself to own those feelings of sadness, disappointment time and time again. I had to say “It’s okay to feel that.”

Then I took it a step further.

I found the little girl’s joy and gave it back to her. The excitement of seeing her father, jumping on his shoulders.

I allowed my present self to really FEEL that – instead of stuffing it down as too painful to remember.

I visualized myself walking up to my Father and saying to him “You hurt me Daddy… but I still love you – I choose to still love you.”

This was healing for me. And it took stages- from anger to releasing to forgiveness, to sadness, to acceptance to love.

Always back to love.

Many women reading this have their own story of pain and disappointment when it comes to their Father. The primary wound of Abandonment in women often first manifests in that Father/Daughter relationship.

It’s time to heal darlings. And healing is available to you if you’re ready and willing.

Go through your own process. Heal your inner Little Girl. You deserve it.

I love you.

P.S. If this speaks to you, I offer a custom blended Yoni Steam called “Little Girl” that is specifically created for healing this childhood wound. More info here

Keep Breaking

May 27, 2014 by Namaste Leave a Comment

Recently I wrote the following as a Status Update on FB:

Post by Namaste Moore.

After posting that I was reading some Rumi (my Best friend and brother from another Age) and I came across this quote:

You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens ~Rumi

Click To Tweet

This moved me deeply.

Something coalesced for me. An idea that had been simmering for a while

The tendency is to fear heart ache more than anything, and, after heartache to say, “I’ll never be the same” and “I’ll never love the same”

In reality- this is true. We can’t love the same after heart ache.

We can love MORE.

Heartache has the amazing ability to break us open in a way that nothing else really can – if we let it.

Unfortunately the “lessons” we learn often toughen us, callus us, turn us cold and stoney.

This happens because when we have our heart broken we tend to go directly into blame. Our current environment which colors everything uncomfortable or painful in shades of abuse doesn’t help when it comes to this.

But we can deepen.

We can understand that when we’re broken OPEN – the pain of the previous experience gives us the ability to know how deeply we CAN love and be wounded and heal to love AGAIN. We can become both stronger and more softened as a result. We can open MORE, give MORE, remember MORE.

I think of my relationship with my Beloved, Richard. In my previous marriage I thought I knew all of my ability to love and to give. I thought I could not possibly love more.

I was wrong.

In my marriage to Richard I’ve learned a level of surrender, contentment and love that I didn’t know was possible. I’ve become resilient without resistance. It has been precious and profound to experience. I’ve realized that love isn’t known by how perfect our partners are or how perfect we are- it’s known by how well we learn to fit together, how much acceptance we can give to another person. I’ve learned the bravery and devotion it takes to love him more and strangely the more I love him, the better I love me.

Funny that.

The more love I give, the more love I receive. And yet for many – it’s the giving of love- especially without a known “quid pro quo” that is feared MOST.

But we must do what it is we fear to do.

You can do it.

Break open darling.

I love you,

The Fearful Yeah Buts

May 16, 2014 by Richard and Namaste 1 Comment

I talk to women all the time who are afraid. Whatever their purpose, their passion, their desire – they have not and will not leap into it.

“Let me just…”

“I just need to…”

Is this you?

I understand you ladies. Trust me. I understand because I’ve been there…

So afraid of making the wrong move, so afraid of what comes next. The Devil you know versus the one you don’t. Settling for whatever is currently present rather than reaching for the stars. Always seeking to “get my ducks in a row” before I’m ready. Getting ready to get ready.

Been there done that.

It reminds me of this passage from a Sacred Text:

“Jesus said to another, “Follow me.” He said, “Certainly, but first excuse me for a couple of days, please. I have to make arrangements for my father’s funeral.” Jesus refused. “First things first. Your business is life, not death. And life is urgent: Announce God’s kingdom!”Then another said, “I’m ready to follow you, Master, but first excuse me while I get things straightened out at home.” Jesus said, “No procrastination. No backward looks. You can’t put God’s kingdom off till tomorrow. Seize the day.” Luke 9:59-61

As a child when I read this – I didn’t understand it at all. I pondered why Jesus wouldn’t want someone to bury their parent (after all thats what it means to honor your parents, right?) or not even to say goodbye?? I mean really- can’t he wait for a moment? Sheesh!

Then one day I was listening to someone tell me why she couldn’t do something that she claimed she wanted to do. And it dropped into me. … “it’s procrastination. That’s the problem.”

Jesus understood the tendency to procrastinate means there’s ALWAYS a “good reason” to wait, to hesitate, to NOT commit. We often don’t see these things as procrastination because we feel like we DO want to do it, there’s just a thing we need to do – FIRST.

It’s what I call the “Yeah, buts”

“What’s the problem with that?” you ask. This negatively impacts a persons vibration. There’s a “yes” and a “no” present in the vibrational field. When that occurs you magnetize whichever is the dominant feeling.

And the dominant feeling is the one with more emotion attached to it. So if the “yes” is diffuse and ephemeral and the “no” is visceral and full of fear – guess which one you attract?

More” no”.

Which means that more and more things come up to make your “No” abundant. To give you more “no”.

I hear this occasionally when a woman feels my Work calling to her.

“I feel like I need get enrolled in SOFT, but I just need to get somethings in order first”. And I listen to the doubt, the fear and holding back in her vibration. I hear: “I’m scared”.

“I’m feeling like I’m supposed to work with you! It came to me last night… – I’ll do a consult I just need to work on myself first” and I hear: “I need to be “right” first”

All of this is to say that in order to go towards what you long for you – you don’t start with a plan, you don’t start with a mission statement, you don’t start with a list of characteristics of your ideal mate. You don’t start with how you want to change and fix yourself.

To start – you need to deeply, and whole heartedly COMMIT to it.

No backsies.

No buts.

No safety net.

Yes it’s scary darling.

But you are sooo amazing. Just commit – and find your wings.

I love you.

Yoni Self Massage

April 28, 2014 by Namaste

Good afternoon loves!

Yesterday I went to an awesome gathering of Beautiful Women – a new Body Church that’s starting locally here in Austin by Qi Dada Ras (check her out peeps- she’s luscious!). At the end of the class, she gifted all of the ladies with a delightful coconut oil created specifically for Yoni massage – mentioning that I do a lot of Yoni work.

Since then I’ve gotten some messages asking about how to use the oil and I realized that I don’t have anything up on here about how to do a SELF Yoni massage- nor are there many resources online for how to do Yoni Massage alone, or my unique take on Yoni Massage.

This is a big deal- because while Yoni Massage is FABULOUS and connective when done as a couple- there is also something delicious about a woman’s ability to massage herself in this way.

First What is Yoni?

If you look up Yoni you’ll get a number of different interpretations from vagina, to vagina and vulva, to vagina, vulva and womb. For the sake of clarity – I like to make the distinction of calling all parts of the Sacred Gates and Passages the Yoni (Vulva, Clitoris, Vagina, and Cervix) and I call the Temple itself (uterus, ovaries, pelvic bowl) the Womb.

Why do a Yoni Massage?

It is vital to recognize as women that we are Divine Incubators. This means that our natural state is one of receiving, multiplying and releasing. Everything that is created must Incubate through the Sacred Gates and Temple of the Feminine. While the Masculine holds the seeds, the Feminine is the precious soil which nourishes and offers it up. Nature does not make a distinction between our Incubating things that serve us and things that do not. What this means is that trauma, pain, negative and limiting beliefs, abandonment, violations, and fears – all of it -once experienced tends to be held in our Yoni and our Womb and we need to release it. In addition to the releasing – we are performing an act of sublime Self Love and Nourishing. Healing is always two stages. Releasing the DisEase and Feeding that which Builds. During a Yoni Massage, you get to experience both with your own hands.

I have specific techniques for releasing these traumas, baggage and more for those who work with Richard or I in a Baggage Drop Session , however, I will share one way of releasing trauma from your Yoni with you – just enter your name and email in the box at the top of the page to receive the Yoni Self Massage PDF – INSTANTLY!.

Angry Women, why are you mad? …

Anger

Irritation

Annoyance

Have you noticed there’s a lot of it in the world? All you have to do is scroll through Facebook, or Read any online magazine, watch TV, and you’ll notice a theme.

Anger and Irritation is the new norm.

And somewhere along the way – being an Angry woman has gotten to be considered some sort of merit badge. It’s as if we women feel as if our anger constitutes power and irritation is the same as excellence. It’s not. In fact, Anger is a tool. It’s an emotion that lets us know that something is going on with us emotionally and energetically/spiritually. Too often when the tool taps us on the shoulder we jump into RE-action – instead of sitting and waiting for Inspired Action.

By this, I mean that we have to learn to open up to the emotion and Truth under the anger instead…

Click To Tweet

Anger is often a masking emotion. It points us towards what’s underneath it – Sadness, Fear, Disappointment, Memories, Abandonment etc; Those emotions frequently make us feel vulnerable whereas anger makes us feel powerful. So we stay in anger.

But here’s the secret- Vulnerability is POWERFUL.

When we go through the process that the anger is ushering us into we come out Victorious. Clear. Grounded. Insightful. We grow. Be Brave my darling. Don’t be fooled by the bravado of your anger – dare to step into the authenticity of your vulnerability. Dive into the depth of who you really are.

Live. Love. Lush and Fearless,

We call it “Not settling” – which sounds good- but in reality, understanding the beauty in what *IS* is not settling- it’s actually elevating one’s life by infusing it with contentment.

Here’s the truth- we tend to judge our yoni eggs in the same way we judge ourselves (and likely judge our yonis!)

I wish you were sitting with me.

Yes, you.

Right now in this space.

I’d pour you a cup of tea, and place all of my attention upon you.

I’d listen as you poured out your soul and looking deeply into your brilliant eyes, I would hold you in a container of absolute love and acceptance.

When you had emptied yourself of your pain and disappointment, of your fear and anger, of your confusion…. knowing that you had the safety to let your burdens out – I would smile at you softly and I’d tell you with absolute certainty…

You are enough and all would be well.

And I would give you a hug- a real and true embrace that would infuse into your very being.. .You are not alone.

But since you are not here, it is my hope that my words would touch some ache within you and be a balm and inspire you. You are enough. All will be well. You are not alone. There is great love for you here.

I love you,

Namaste

When I was a little girl I was very close to my father.

My family tells me I was such a daddy’s girl – and I vaguely remember my excitement when I saw him. How much love I felt and joy.

In the manner of adults my parents broke up and went their separate ways and as is typical I went with my mother.

From the age of 4 to the age of 15 I did not see my father.

Time passed with my seeing him 3 other times between the ages of 15 and 19.

More time passed.

Periodically I’d talk to him on the phone – but not often. I resented him wanting me to be the little girl he remembered so he could be the dad to her he wasn’t to me.

I was angry. I felt abandoned and disappointed and didn’t want to hear the excuses. The drama. What amounted to me to be a bunch of BS.

I got to a point where I forgave him. I didn’t want to be angry anymore. I released the disappointment and the desire to make him into someone else. I thought I was done

When I had my own daughter. I had many things that I felt I wanted her to have that I did not. But it was more than just hopes and dreams for my daughter. These were internally raging emotions of pains in my own life that I DEMANDED be “fixed” in hers.

I realized that there was something- some part of myself that I hadn’t really allowed to heal.

“Forgiveness is not the healing. Forgiveness is the cleansing that allows the healing to occur.”

So I went inside and touched that little girl. The little girl I was when my father broke my heart. The little girl sitting at her 3rd birthday looking through her cards for one from her dad – the card that never came.

I touched that little girl that felt disappointed when he didn’t show up. That felt left behind, cast aside.

I put her little hand in my palm and kissed her cheeks and said, “It’s okay – you are not forgotten…”

I went to the young mother looking for validation from her father- only to be met with disapproval.

I allowed myself to own those feelings of sadness, disappointment time and time again. I had to say “It’s okay to feel that.”

Then I took it a step further.

I found the little girl’s joy and gave it back to her. The excitement of seeing her father, jumping on his shoulders.

I allowed my present self to really FEEL that – instead of stuffing it down as too painful to remember.

I visualized myself walking up to my Father and saying to him “You hurt me Daddy… but I still love you – I choose to still love you.”

This was healing for me. And it took stages- from anger to releasing to forgiveness, to sadness, to acceptance to love.

Always back to love.

Many women reading this have their own story of pain and disappointment when it comes to their Father. The primary wound of Abandonment in women often first manifests in that Father/Daughter relationship.

It’s time to heal darlings. And healing is available to you if you’re ready and willing.

Go through your own process. Heal your inner Little Girl. You deserve it.

I love you.

P.S. If this speaks to you, I offer a custom blended Yoni Steam called “Little Girl” that is specifically created for healing this childhood wound. More info here

I talk to women all the time who are afraid. Whatever their purpose, their passion, their desire – they have not and will not leap into it.

“Let me just…”

“I just need to…”

Is this you?

I understand you ladies. Trust me. I understand because I’ve been there…

So afraid of making the wrong move, so afraid of what comes next. The Devil you know versus the one you don’t. Settling for whatever is currently present rather than reaching for the stars. Always seeking to “get my ducks in a row” before I’m ready. Getting ready to get ready.

Been there done that.

It reminds me of this passage from a Sacred Text:

As a child when I read this – I didn’t understand it at all. I pondered why Jesus wouldn’t want someone to bury their parent (after all thats what it means to honor your parents, right?) or not even to say goodbye?? I mean really- can’t he wait for a moment? Sheesh!

Then one day I was listening to someone tell me why she couldn’t do something that she claimed she wanted to do. And it dropped into me. … “it’s procrastination. That’s the problem.”

Jesus understood the tendency to procrastinate means there’s ALWAYS a “good reason” to wait, to hesitate, to NOT commit. We often don’t see these things as procrastination because we feel like we DO want to do it, there’s just a thing we need to do – FIRST.

It’s what I call the “Yeah, buts”

“What’s the problem with that?” you ask. This negatively impacts a persons vibration. There’s a “yes” and a “no” present in the vibrational field. When that occurs you magnetize whichever is the dominant feeling.

And the dominant feeling is the one with more emotion attached to it. So if the “yes” is diffuse and ephemeral and the “no” is visceral and full of fear – guess which one you attract?

More” no”.

Which means that more and more things come up to make your “No” abundant. To give you more “no”.

I hear this occasionally when a woman feels my Work calling to her.

“I feel like I need get enrolled in SOFT, but I just need to get somethings in order first”. And I listen to the doubt, the fear and holding back in her vibration. I hear: “I’m scared”.

“I’m feeling like I’m supposed to work with you! It came to me last night… – I’ll do a consult I just need to work on myself first” and I hear: “I need to be “right” first”

All of this is to say that in order to go towards what you long for you – you don’t start with a plan, you don’t start with a mission statement, you don’t start with a list of characteristics of your ideal mate. You don’t start with how you want to change and fix yourself.

To start – you need to deeply, and whole heartedly COMMIT to it.

No backsies.

No buts.

No safety net.

Yes it’s scary darling.

But you are sooo amazing. Just commit – and find your wings.

I love you.
