Summer Bliss

Image
I am back home after a much needed two week break! My partner and I headed to Maui for some rest, relaxation and rejuvenation. We swam and snorkeled almost every day - the Maui waters are magical to me.  As I sat on our lanai a few days in, I noticed I felt more grounded and  more connected to nature. The clouds, the trade winds, the stars, the sun, the water all seem close enough to reach out and touch over there. An unexpected malfunction also helped reconnect me with nature.  We did take a mini computer, but lucky for us, it decided not to work and therefore we were internet and email free for the whole two weeks - AND it was great. Wanting to maintain my relaxation as much as I can at home, I have noticed that taking deep breaths before, during, and after internet time helps me stay calm and within my own space.

Where Are The Women

Hanuman saved Sita. Kali would’ve saved herself. Two very different types of women yet goddesses in their own right.  Both can be found in me, the girl that needs saving, and the  girl that can save herself.  I am strong, I am weak, I am one when I am not the other.  Consciousness is female, it is space, the void, the emptiness out of which all arises.  Femininity is being, it is being in the wild nature of being, in the wild nature of living, it lives deep within me, to awaken it I must befriend her, the Devi, the Goddess, my feminine energy.  Nothing is activated, ignited without her presence.   Within her is the trinity, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, She creates, maintains, destorys.  All Gods bow down to Devi, Mother Goddess, Supreme Being. And yet she is lost to me, I call on her, will she come, will she let her presence be known.  I have gone on this ride before, but now I must relate to her in a different way, ...

Spirals & Circles

I see feminine energy as a swirling flowing energy that is intimately connected to the cycles of nature. Forms and shapes that come to mind to represent the feminine, are the spiral and the circle. Feminine energy embodies creativity, non- linear thinking, paradox, and more importantly the ebbs and flows of life. If you are dealing with "perfect pictures" consider bringing in, cultivating more female energy into your life. If you are being hard on your self or are comparing yourself to others, or to some imagined ideal- you are probably "stuck" in a "perfect picture".  So how do you release the grip from a "perfect picture"? One way I release myself from a "perfect picture" is by reflecting on what feminine energy means to me, and then bringing more of that into my life.  I put aside linear thinking, the line, the stick that falls hard when you start beating yourself up about something because you are not "perfect".  I th...
