Pain and pleasure are part of the flow of life. It's part of this reality, part of this life. Is suffering unavoidable? Yes!

When we can balance these aspects of ourselves, we feel...

Like many things in our current day, not many spiritual paths honour the feminine and the unique energies of the female body. This is key because a woman's enlightenment is a reflection of her sexuality. Just as her Eros is opened through nurturing, bonding, connection, and love (for example, long, loving foreplay), so is her opening to spirit. Women are not only meant to meditate their way t...

Most people relate to money unconsciously in one of two ways:  1. With 'lack mentality', endless worry and holding onto it with white knuckles, or  2. Without value and spending money as soon as they get it.   Both come down to self-worth. Money is like any energy—when you dance and respect it, it will always support you. However, if you are wasteful or have a lack mentality about money,...

It's SO tempting to argue... To make the other person see your point of view, or how they were wrong and we were right!  It feels so good to make them wrong... or does it? As soon as you defend yourself or leap at an emotional charge, you give your power away. And inevitably arguments go around in in circles, drain your energy, and ultimately, you miss an opportunity to evolve your soul, drop...

The more we are in touch with our inner opposite, the more we can anchor our polarity with a partner. For men, if the feminine is alive within, he can better anchor his presence. The more present a woman is, the stronger she will sit in her feminine power. Cultivating the polarities is essential. If we can't relate to our own inner opposite, we can’t expect to relate to our partner (whatever...

Ask yourself, “How much do I depend on my external world vs my internal world for security and safety?” COVID-19 is a mirror that's revealing a lot. It's showing us who we are, what we’re afraid of, our ability to trust and surrender (or not), what matters to us, our determination or our tendency to fall into avoidance behaviour, our clarity or haziness on the Grand Organised Design, wha...

It's not about denying chaos, bu...

What's the biggest obstacle to manifesting your soul purpose? Here it is: if you don’t listen to and action your inner guidance… It’s all about the inner marriage of the masculine and feminine in your business .
