The Trance of Never Enough

Why is it that we always feel like we never have enough and how can meditation bring a sense of awareness to our longing for more? On today’s blog post, we’ll explore the trance of Never Enough and a meditation technique that can teach you to begin to let go of that attachment to pleasure.

You Are Not Your Shame

Shame is one of the greatest obstacles on the journey towards healing and wholeness. It’s a darkness that blocks us from sharing our light with the world. Shame blinds us from recognizing our basic goodness. Unable to see out of the darkness, we’re left paralyzed, and the many other people who could benefit from the love, compassion and wisdom we have to offer ultimately suffer as well.

Play is the antidote to the judgments that block us from seeing clearly; it’s a cure for the shame that keeps us from feeling small and contracted. This blog post explores the importance of play as it pertains to our meditation practice (and our response to life).

The Dance of Tantra

What is this mystery, expressing itself as “me?”
This body, this mind
This illusion of separation that seems to demarcate inner and outer
Yet another appearance in the mirror…

The Kingdom of Heaven

The Kingdom of Heaven arises when the mind ceases to turn outwards towards gratification in impermanent objects and turns inwards to rest in its own place. That radiance already exists within ourselves. It’s our very essence. So ask yourself, what if the Kingdom of Heaven is always and already here and now, if only I had eyes to see it?

Tantric Maps of Awakening

We need a clear path to awakening that addresses both our desires for freedom and connection. Typically, spiritual paths have focused on masculine ideals of transcendence without the acknowledgement of our embodied experiences. Tantra, alternatively, represents the rise of The Divine Feminine and offers us a perspective on how archetypal feminine values can balance archetypal masculine ones.
