TRUE YOGA

10365961_754462764586172_397545263128891630_nThis perfectly describes how after teaching Yoga for 15,000 hours over the course of 19 years to thousands of people it became crystal clear to me that Yoga is not a practice that you simply do on a mat for 90 minutes a day.

True Yoga is a way of life where your intention is to live every moment in alignment with your purpose, values and big vision.
True Yoga is the path of incredibly conscious choices with your thoughts, words and deeds and in your relationships with all people, places and things so that as much as possible everything that you are choosing to be involved with is a resonant match for who you are and why you are here.
True Yoga is a practice that truly enhances your existence and assists you in becoming and embodying your highest potential.

It is this realization that inspired me to create Vibration Transformation, a lifestyle program for Heart centered Visionaries, Leaders and Teachers so that there is a clear multi-dimensional Yogic based path that helps you raise your vibration on all  levels, planes and dimensions of your life so that everything matches your mission, message and vision.

Countless blessings to us all on our magical journeys of LOVELIGHTBLISS.

Shiva Shakti LOVELIGHTBLISS

unnamedIt was 9 weeks ago on Shivaratri, the Hindu celebration of the Divine Union of the Beloveds that I sent out my clear intent for supreme blessings on my Beloved partnership with all of existence.

On that night I drew this picture of Ardhanarishvara, half Shiva/half Parvati, half woman/half man, the perfect blend of the opposite flows of energy, the Divine Lovers merged as one being.

Since then, there has been…

So much clearing of old ways of being that were holding me back from spiritual expansion..

So much cleansing of suppressed mojo.

This path requires sacrifice because not everyone is devoted to this level of consciousness.

It is a path that requires great devotion and courage.

One has to be willing to shed the old ways like a snake shedding it’s skin.

And lemme tell ya…there are some big ole detox moments at first when you want to cling to the old ways because you are going into unchartered territory.

You have to have Faith Supreme in the Supreme Force of Love and trust that the burning is going to set you free.

But it’s SO worth it because you create so much space to receive high octane LOVELIGHTBLISS.

More than ever, I am truly in awe of Love right now.

Love is the way and Love is the answer.

I am so grateful more than ever that this path of Fearless Radical Love is the way that I happily choose to walk through life.

And this is the truly amazing thing…

The first and foremost and foundational Beloved relationship is totally internal.

It is the Divine Union of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine within.

Just like this picture.

It truly is a state of being that is real.

And…it feels SO good and so right.

The high frequency Love that I am attracting from this internal energetic state of being is so pure and direct and obvious and beautiful.

It reminds me of my first memory (that some people say is not possible and a bunch of malarky but it happened because I was there….mmmmmmmk?).
My first memory was…

Being the egg and my #1 commitment was to allow ONLY THE BEST.
And…
Being the sperm and my #1 commitment was I AM THE ONE.

That’s how I got here.

Being the best that I can be and being the one is the perfect way to describe this Shiva Shakti Beloved Love.

It is the energy that creates life and magic and miracles.

So here I am…
I found everything inside of myself that I have been looking for outside of myself.

And now that I have it inside it is happening in more balanced, harmonious and super sweet ways than ever externally.

Today I am grateful for all of you Fearless Radical Lovers out there who are dancing this dance with me…because it’s a lot more fun to talk and breathe and dance and play with others who are on this path.

Thank you for doing the deep work and raising the bar on what is possible in our relationships with all people, places and things.

Being in right relationship with people that are willing and able (and we are all able if we devote ourselves) to work and play like this is a total turn on, so inspirational and clears the space so that LOVELIGHTBLISS and a whole lotta passion and play can prevail internally and externally on all levels, planes and dimensions.

And let’s remember what Marianne Williamson said:

“The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one.”

It all begins within.

Be the best you can be…which means CHOOSE LOVE!!!!
And…
Be the one.

You are the one that you have been waiting for.

An invitation to LOVE and BE LOVED…

LOVE is the Heart of all Spirituality and BELOVED LOVE is the most evolutionary and advanced path on the planet

Why is intimate relationship such a burning alchemical vessel for growth, healing, and transformation? One of the reasons is that in the mandala of the beloved there is nowhere to hide. All of your early trauma and wounding arose in an interpersonal context and must likewise be unwound within a relational field. Your beloved has appeared as this field, but she has also come promising the end of your world as you have known it.

If you have a partner who knows your early history, who is intimately familiar with your core vulnerabilities, and is compassionately attuned to its unfolding and illumination, you are teetering on the edge of cliff. But it is a cliff of grace. But this grace is on fire. On the one hand, a portal has been opened, your guide has appeared, to mirror to you the wholeness that you are. She will hold you and will relentlessly reveal to you the mysteries of your body, your psyche, your organs, your cells, and your nervous system. What a precious situation.

On the other hand, he is an emissary of the unknown. In his presence, universes come and go; there is no ground, no reference point to lean into; no matter how deeply you look, you find only empty space. Nothing is certain anymore. You are being held, but it is a holding that is unbearably vulnerable and without history. You stand totally unclothed in her presence, unable to fool him like you fool so many others, unable to pretend you have it all together. The beloved has no interest in your holding it all together. She wants all the way inside and will use whatever skillful means she must to find you. She will always push up against that which is unresolved within you. She loves you this much.

The beloved is mad crazy in love with you, but may not fit your historical requirements and ideas about what this actually means, about the true implications of having a beloved in your life. She has appeared as your tour guide into the secret areas of your body. If you follow her, your world will become unraveled, you will be taken behind the scenes where the relative world is being organized. The beloved sees you as you are and this is terrifying. In his presence, you are beheld as the majesty that you are, but this is unbearable. You come face to face with the greatest fear that you’ve ever known, but have never been able to articulate: that you are loved. For when you are truly loved, when you are entirely seen, when you are fully held, it is the end of your world as you know it. You will never be the same. You will never again be able to pretend that you are other than perfect and precious as you are. And this is terrifying.

You long to be loved, to be seen, to be held, but please know that the implications of this are immense; they are cosmic in proportion. To allow yourself to be loved in this way a part of you must die. Everything you thought you weren’t must be surrendered. You must let go of the stories of the unlovable one, the awakened one, the special one, the imperfect one, and the despairing one. Love wishes to reveal your nakedness, to remove your clothing, and to burn away all that is false and less than whole within you. What you are is a raging firestorm of creativity, sensuality, openness, warmth, and kindness.

Love will never stop until you know this.

If you will allow her or him, the beloved will show you the infinite ways that your heart is at risk of breaking open in any moment, and never, ever being put back together again. She will plead with you to let it all go, to fall on the ground, and to allow yourself to fall apart, so she can show you that you were never, ever together to begin with. She will reveal to you that this raw, tender, vulnerable open heart that you feel beating inside you – right here and right now – that this is your gift to the world.

Rare and Wondrous

CondorsWe are in total awe after a rare & wondrous sighting of the condors of Big Sur…

We considered stopping the journey up the coast to check them out but decided to carry on…

And lo & behold they decided to chase after us!

Such an incredible metaphor that we do not need to turn around so that we don’t leave anything behind…if anyone or anything wants to soar to the highest heights, they will rush to find us & rise up to meet us ;-))

As they flew right by our chariot we pulled over & they circled back around soaring right above our heads… not once but 3 times…encircling us over & over again.

We knew that we were being blessed with a supreme blessing & when we read the symbology of the Condor our Spirits truly soared:

Condors prefer to live in the high mountains, to fly in the skies above the cordilleras. They symbolise the highest elevation, above limitations and obstacles. They are, above all, the symbol of the transpersonal; they integrate the wisdom of those who have died, those who have no ego. They are the symbol of spiritual ascension, of communication with the spirits, with what is subtle.

The condor is the symbol of creative power, the incarnation of timeless philosophy; his majestic flight suggests the process of life itself, of creative eternity, whose ever-living works are made up of births and deaths.

The eagle is the symbol of the sun, but the eye of the condor is the sun; it symbolises the hidden light of the great emptiness. It is the master of weather, of thunder and lightning, of wisdom, of new vision, of prophecy, of illumination.

The condor is without doubt the king of the skies, but ultimately he is a servant, a simple gardener, the instrument of the art of renovation, of cleanliness and purification; new productions need new spaces, which are fertilised from the disintegration of the old, of the spirits of the dead. Wisdom, prudence, calm, reflection, discretion, intuition, vision, prophecy, messenger of the divine – these are the attributes of the bird.

High Frequency LOVE and GRATITUDE

Cosmic GoddessLOVE and GRATITUDE are the highest vibrational frequencies in existence and have miraculous powers to uplift, inspire and heal.

Flowing high vibrational LOVE and GRATITUDE towards anyone (including yourself) who has not been doing the deep work of clearing their inner blocks to Love including past hurts, regrets and sadness can oftentimes be a very uncomfortable experience.

It’s a bit like pouring high alkaline green juice into a body that is full of toxins and impurities…

There are going to be some major cleansing reactions that might not feel good at all and you just might want to quit and run back to your old ways of being.

As you raise your vibration with the high frequencies of LOVE and GRATITUDE, be patient with the process.

Trust that little by little the lower frequencies are being cleared, creating space for you to receive and embody greater LOVE and GRATITUDE than you ever imagined.

May your transformational journey into LOVE and GRATITUDE be blessed with ease, grace and harmony .

Shooting Star

UnknownYou know it’s going to be a poignant Memorial Service when you are sobbing amidst waves of emotion while you are writing your notes and are crying again while officiating the service…

I have taught over 15,000 hours of transformational Yoga classes, workshops, retreats and trainings, officiated 13 weddings, facilitated many rights of passage ceremonies and been a spiritual mid-wife at several births, but never have I felt more honored than I do today.Continue reading
