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…)

This last month I have seen again and again how powerful visualization, affirmation, and self love can be in attracting relationships and situations that I want to have in my life. Over the last several months I have been writing about my journey to Manifesting the Beloved, and how I have been following Spirit’s guidance to attracting the relationship of my dreams. Last month I wrote about visioning my ideal partner, allowing Spirit to bring that vision to me, instead of trying to create it from scratch all by myself. Spirit has been doing a bang-up job through Synchronicity of bringing me books to read, meditations to do, vision boards to create, affirmations to write that are all focused on the partnership of my dreams. With all this visioning in place, I am truly ready to cultivate my inner magnet. (more…)

Closing in on Valentine’s Day brings a wonderful opportunity to dream the ideal relationship into being. Over the last few months I have been writing about my journey to Manifesting the Beloved, and how I have been following Spirit’s guidance to attracting the relationship of my dreams. Last month I wrote about my practice of loving myself. Self love is critical in attracting the partner of your dreams, because you attract what you ARE. Once you have mastered the critical practice of loving yourself, you are ready to vision your ideal partner. (more…)

As the holidays approach, there is no better time to contemplate the topic of self love. Over the last few months I have been writing about my journey to Manifesting the Beloved, and how I have been following Spirit’s guidance to attracting the relationship of my dreams. Last month I wrote about my practice of de-armoring my heart. This month I want to share with you about what had to come next for me once I started feeling things more deeply: Self Love. This is a critical turning point on the path to attracting a partner, because all love is just a projection of ourselves. If we cannot love ourselves, then we can never really love another person. We simply don’t have the capacity. (more…)
