The Grace Space

We have no idea the power we possess right in our very own bodies. 

For thousands of years, systematic repression and control of women's bodies and natural rhythms have divorced women -- and men -- from the true depths of power, pleasure, creativity, spiritual wisdom, and the expansion of consciousness that come from a rich and rewarding relationship with the yoni.

The yoni -- or 'sacred space' -- is a sanskrit word for the vagina and extends to the consciousness of the creative, reproductive center that is the second chakra. 

The second chakra is the locus of everything that has to do with sexuality, creativity, money, flow, pleasure, and our one-to-one relationships with other people. 

Healing the wounds of this center by letting go of the samskaras or unprocessed traumas our body is holding onto liberates a tremendous amount of creative energy.

In today's episode, I share with you how an accumulation of micro traumas as an adolescent -- not to mention macro traumas in later life -- contributed to a serious life-force leakage and distortions in my second chakra.

If your sexuality is not fully, healthily, joyfully expressed (whether you're partnered or single) you're functioning at a deficit and depriving yourself and the world of the most liberated, grounded, creative, spontaneous, empowered version of you.

Not to mention missing out on some pretty spectacular life-changing orgasms.

Oh yes.

All this and more today and in the weeks to come, in The Grace Space.

The whole point of mind control is that you don’t even realize you’re being subjected to it until you wake up.

We can no longer afford to simply accept official narratives about the events we're witnessing in our world; we need to question everything, especially when questioning itself is made the enemy.

Open your eyes. Open your mind. 

But especially, especially, open your heart.

We need everyone who is awake and waking up to vibrate in harmony with Truth. 

And how do we do that in the midst of intense pressure and chaos? 

Sadhana.

Sadhana is a Sanskrit word for spiritual practice. 

A spiritual practice is whatever helps you remember that you are a sovereign spiritual being.

It’s a way of focusing your consciousness on what’s Real and True, rather than on what isn’t. 

Sadhana makes you the Master of your space.

YOU. Not someone else, or something else. YOU.

Join me today as we discuss the simplest way to move to the eye of the storm, where the weather is always beautiful.

It's the place in you where you experience Sacred Intimacy, the cozy knowingness that no matter what storms are raging out there, the sun forever shines in here.

Sacred Intimacy is the naturalness of simply being as you are, and that’s anchored in your wildness.

The loss of wildness translates to a loss of trust in Nature, in Life and the implicit order of the Universe.

When there’s an agenda afoot to turn us into complacent, compliant automatons for whom our true nature as Source Energy Beings is but a distant memory, we need more than ever to come back to nature and reconnect with our wildness.

Our wildness is intimately connected to our Oneness, to Mother Nature, to our planet, to our intuitive self, to our body, and our Divine birthright of joy, aliveness, and freedom.

Feeling our wildness plugs us back into what it is to be fully human beings of spiritual origin: fully human and fully Divine.

When did you lose your wildness? 

Are you ready to reawaken your wildness, return to sanity, and live as the natural, carefree, spontaneous and joyful True You?

True freedom is knowing that your Being is a closed system that is perfectly designed and continuously fed by Divine energy.

It follows the expanding spiral of universal abundance, naturally heals itself when given the chance, and lives in harmony with Nature. 

In today's episode, I share with you how I lost touch with wildness growing up in the suburbs of the United States capitol -- and, how I'm getting it back again.

You can too. If you feel the nostalgic pull for a simpler way of life, for a return to authenticity and true healing, this episode is for you.

It's time we told ourselves the truth about some things and connected the dots.

The dots in here -- reconnecting the parts of our brain that have been disconnected from each other due to trauma.

And, correspondingly, the dots out there -- realizing the extent to which we have long been subjected to systems of control that deliberately stifle our human potential.

Divinity has given us free will to explore all aspects of consciousness, even the extreme opposite of divinity.

There is a luciferic energy at work in the world; that's nothing new, but the outlines of its invisible hand are becoming more visible as increasingly desperate attempts to create chaos, fear, scarcity and division as justifications for increased control.

This dark, corrupted aspect is devoid of love and denies our divinity and our sovereignty. In fact, it seeks to turn us against one another, and even to turn you against yourself.

The solution is to wake up, connect the dots, and remember that you ARE divine, and you have the power of love.

But how do we make this a living reality, rather than just an idea?

We can fortify ourselves by promoting intimacy with our True Nature -- what I call Sacred Intimacy.

Sacred intimacy heals our inner separation so we can reconnect with the love that we are and the truth that we literally have everything within us already to live in love, abundance, and radiant health. 

The best things in life really are free. And so are you, when you free yourself of dependency on the systems that seek to enslave your spirit.

Chaos, fear, and scarcity consciousness cannot affect you when you know you have everything within. You don't need what the world is trying to sell you, nor can you be bought. You become bulletproof and unexploitable.

It begins with Confession, a healing Sacred Intimacy practice that integrates all the disparate, exiled parts of yourself, leading to unity, integrity, and wholeness within.

And, as within, so without. 

The world needs you NOW. Join me for this new series in The Grace Space, where we'll explore free Sacred Intimacy practices that can deliver you to yourself, free you to your highest potential, and make you a lighthouse to others as we go through the labour and birthing of New Earth. 

We're living in a time of unprecedented chaos and uncertainty. Look around, and it seems like so many things are falling apart. Because they are.

And yet, everything in this universe operates according to primal principles or Universal Laws, and nothing can operate outside the Law.

That means that whether or not we like what's unfolding, it's unfolding in perfect accordance with the Law. 

Life never asks for our agreement or approval, it simply unfolds as a consequence of the Infinite Field of consciousness. But we often take issue with Life and what it's presenting us.

The Law of Rhythm describes the cyclic nature of all things; the in-breath and the out-breath, the tides that rise and fall, the seasons that come and go.

Embracing the natural rhythms of life is essential in finding peace through times of chaos, death, and endings.

In today's episode, I share with you what I've learned about surrendering to the cycles of life from the forge -- the one on our land, and the ones in the stars -- and the curious role of iron in the process of transformation, and the life cycle of a star.

Through cataclysmic change, a star can give birth to all the elements of the material world.

Similarly, we have the potential to birth a new self and alchemize our highest potential – if we, like the star, can die to be reborn.

Even in the midst of cataclysm, we can experience sukh: the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Why does it surpass all understanding? Because it arises naturally from within, independent of circumstances. It is a consequence of trust and surrender to the perfect order that operates in all things, from the corpuscle to the star.

And, stardust that we are, in us too.

Purification is a necessary and natural process on the spiritual path.

But it burns.

How do you know you’re being purified?

It’s often through a series of deaths, losses, and endings. It stirs deep questioning and even brings us face to face with our mortality, and what we’ve made of our time on Earth.

Are you getting it? Or are you missing the point?

Purification can be likened to an encounter with a fire-breathing dragon that guards the treasure we seek.

We must gird ourselves to face our fear of being incinerated -- reduced to a pile of ash -- and walk through the fire. 

Purification is called tapas in yoga and translates as 'heat' or 'austerity'. It's how life strips us of our familiar bearings and burns away everything that isn't our True Self.

It is a kind of death.

The question is, can we withstand the pressure that we undergo during purification? Or will we cling to the false self as the only one we've ever known? Do we choose to stand -- perhaps alone -- in radical truth? Or bury ourselves even deeper in illusion out of fear?

Sooner or later, we have to choose whether to step into Destiny or succumb to fate. 

So, who's with me?

In today's episode of The Grace Space, I share what I've learned from two 'failed' marriages about what really destroys trust and intimacy.

It's not what you did -- it's why you did it.

And the fact that, most likely, you have no idea.

When we're unconscious, we're unreliable. Our feelings, decisions and choices arise from murky inner drives about which we are clueless.

Instead of relating to others from pure love, we tend to engage in control dramas driven by the unresolved past in us.

We can easily get lost in cyclic attempts to alleviate our (often subconscious) fears and insecurities by subtly or overtly manipulating others to get our emotional needs met. 

This leads to suffering.

As we become more conscious, we gain the courage to take a fearless inner inventory and question our true motivations. 

What is the deeper purpose of a relationship beyond falling in and out of love? Beyond the creation of children and families? What is it here to teach us?

Mass awakening continues to shake up the status quo on our planet day-by-day, and this year it will be bigger than ever. 

The divine evolutionary impetus behind it demands a reexamination of our values and a seismic shift away from disempowerment to sovereignty, from systemic dysfunctionality to global healing. 

This resonates on the interpersonal level as a yearning to recenter our relationships around authenticity, truth, and divine reconnection. 

Global social upheaval on the collective level is reflected by the shifting sands of relationship and family dynamics on the personal level.

Change can be painful as we let go of our illusions, but as always, if we're willing to assume responsibility for our part of things, we begin to heal the inner divisions within us from which our distortions spring. 

All relationships can be vehicles for transformation to a higher order. It all depends on whom you serve. 

So, whom do you serve? Let's explore that together today.

For many people, relationships are a source of pain, frustration, even anguish. Many intimate relationships are minefields where we learn to step carefully. Many a happy wedding turns to divorce or uneasy cohabitation.

Until we understand the true purpose of relationships, disappointment is inevitable.

In a largely unconscious consumer culture, relationships become yet another attempt to fill the void, and we often mistake attachment and obsession for love.

In unconscious relationships, real love is muted by our constant attempts to get our needs met, rather than simply opening as love itself.

So how do we, as perfectly imperfect humans, open ourselves to love? How do we move from unconscious relationships based on projection to conscious, ethical relationships?

By failing. And by being willing to learn from those failures of loving.

By not putting unrealistic expectations on our relationships, and understanding their function as crucibles of transformation in our spiritual evolution.

By deeply realizing that we're here for one reason only: to free ourselves of the blocks to love that are nowhere other than within ourselves. And to BE that love.

In today's episode of The Grace Space, we explore Ethical Relationship, which puts Divinity and the Soul's evolution at the centre of relating, rather than our unresolved wounds.

Dissolution is when something falls apart, disperses, dissolves, and changes form. It's a form of death. We see it in the rotting fruit; the log in the fire that turns to ash; the sugar cube that melts into your coffee.

Dissolution is part of Nature and the universe. It's one half of the alchemical process coagulum solvare, the process by which all things are constantly moving between densification and dissolution. It happens at every scale of existence, including the stars, who expand and collapse in on themselves over eons of time to fuse the very elements that make up our bodies and everything we know.

In the journey of the Soul, dissolution occurs as you let go of the false self with all its beliefs, requirements, and its created world. Things, people, familiar roles, your health, even parts of you are removed. The hard shell of the ego begins to crack and fall away, obsolete patterns are exposed, and long-buried fears are no longer resisted, but faced. Everything that you thought you knew and believed you were is called into question and you, as you knew yourself, begin to dissolve.

The truth is, you can't survive dissolution. Not the you you think of as you. But something that could never be destroyed emerges.

Call it the Dark Night of the Soul, call it The Void, call it Shaktipat -- it feels like a period of intense pressure, and it isn't easy. In today's episode, I share with you how I'm experiencing Dissolution.

In this episode, we explore our tendency to stockpile emotional energy, or samskaras, and the often serious consequences this has on our life.

The truth is, we were never taught to handle our emotional energy.

It's commonly accepted that we should live our life, choose our relationships, our work, and generally base our decisions on what will maximize pleasure and minimize pain. 

This is what most people are engaged in, and it's considered totally normal and even sensible to adopt this approach.

It's evident in our broken medical system, for example, which pushes drugs to handle symptoms without inquiring into the source of the dis-ease.

The problem is that avoiding pain or treating it superficially doesn't make the pain go away. It only increases the pressure we feel from never having dealt with it.

When we make life choices in order to avoid disturbing the sleeping dragon, we never engage the source of our suffering: the fact that we ourselves have stored this energy in us, and we are the only ones who can dissolve it. 

While we hold on to these unresolved energies of the past, we block our own life force energy from circulating and providing the natural, uncaused feelings of wellbeing that we long for.

And when we can't handle the range of emotions that our heart continually emanates, we shut ourselves down and live in greyscale. This can have serious consequences for our lives that last for years and cause great suffering for ourselves and others.

I'll share how not being able to handle the full range of my own emotions led to just such a situation.

Freedom is knowing that no matter what happens in your life, it cannot shake your profound peace and wellbeing. You never needed life to give you those feelings, because their source is within you. But while you're all blocked up inside, you'll never know it.

Let's explore this together and see what we can let go of today.
