When you enter the fourth gateway you open up to unlimited possibility, to miracles on a grand scale. Practicing the previous gateways you have connected to Spirit, opened to Love, and reclaimed your Power. Now is the time to revel in your aliveness and manifest your dreams.

The third gateway is about finding your power. Without power in yourself and owning your ability to create change in the world, you make no progress, and experience no learning. Power is not power over others, and it is not selfish. Power is the courage to change and grow.

Last month I wrote about the First Gateway of Spirit and how it has transformed my life. This month I want to share with you about the Second Gateway of Love.

The Six Gateways are like a labyrinth. I travel them over and over, spiraling in to my center, finding Spirit, Love, and Power–then spiraling out to the world and becoming Freedom, Balance, and Union with all creation.

When people ask me to define tantra, I often begin by explaining that although tantra in the United States focuses a lot on sexuality, traditionally tantric spirituality is about all parts of life. It is a path of finding enlightenment through the body.

What does that mean? (more…)

A few days ago I co-taught a class with Rachel Moore on “The Four Agreements” for creatives, based on the book by Don Miguel Ruiz. As I prepared to teach the class, I realized that I wanted to really experience the essence of this book by spending a full day between now and then living each of the agreements.

The four agreements are:

• Be Impeccable with your Word.
• Don’t take Anything Personally.
• Don’t make assumptions.
• Always do your best.

In my last monthly blog I continued writing about my journey to Manifesting the Beloved, in particular my experience of Being in the Void. Since that time my dream of a committed, easeful, loving, and passionate partnership has come true! I am ecstatic to be sharing True Love with a man I have known and loved for most of my adult life. Now the stakes seem higher, and the chance of making a mistake and screwing it all up looms large in my fear zone. I’m learning a whole new set of lessons about Receiving the Gift. (more…)

Sitting on an old upholstered Wicker Couch, I huddled into my blanket for warmth as I watched the Shaman prepare the offering for a week of ceremony that would bring more joy and healing into my life than ever before. I was in Cuzco, Peru, with 10 other women and men who had come here to experience the love and power of the Peruvian landscape and its people. (more…)

Fear used to always be my first response when confronted with the unknown. As I progressed on my journey, I became more and more able to meet the challenges of life with joy, hope, and love. But just as I felt I was achieving mastery with this, my journey to Manifesting the Beloved has activated my fear again. Activating my inner magnet (which I wrote about last month) and following my guidance has brought me something I didn’t expect — a possibility of a relationship with a lifelong love. As that possibility is unfolding and I am waiting to see what will happen, I am learning about Being in the Void. (more…)

I can still remember the first time I heard about yoni massage from my teacher, Mellissa. I was taking a women’s class that was dedicated to unlocking our power as women, and a study of sexuality was a part of that. Mellissa mentiond that we should consider getting a yoni massage with a healing practitioner. I thought she was nuts. I couldn’t imagine letting a strange man touch my yoni for an extended time. The Gynecologist, that was one thing, necessary for my continued good health. But yoni massage? I didn’t really need that, did I? (more…)
