Yesterday morning, after feeling quite low when I woke up, I had one of the deepest transmissions of the Divine Sensual Feminine that I've experienced so far. The magic took place during a 30-minute practice over zoom with an unknown woman across the Atlantic ocean. We laughed, cried and we were so taken, so surrendered, while feeling invincible, that it felt like a lesson, a transmission, and a foresight; a guide that felt like a stern convent Mother Superior, telling us to straighten up our ba...

When I was nine, my aunt was visiting from India, where she was living. I was living with my Mom in an apartment in Västerås, Sweden, after her divorce from my Dad. I was in a very bad mood, but I didn't know why. I felt I had no agency, and no right to say no. My aunt gave me money to go to a coffee house (which hardly was available when I grew up, and I didn't drink coffee anyway), and she chastised me for my bad mood.

I often think back at that time, and how I experienced life then. I felt so...

Recently, the Sacred Sl*t archetype has surfaced in different courses by women who teach women about their sexuality. And according to one archetypal test I took, that is who I am, which tracks. For the past five years, I've been teaching about the Seductress, the cosmic flirt, which I've felt like, and I still love that archetype. But lately, I've come to see the Sacred Sl*t, and the Priestess, as more internal power archetypes than the Seductress. It's more of a being than a doing. It's not ab...

This evening I learned that a couple in my extended family lost their teenage son to suicide. It was deeply shocking, because I learned about this, coming in from such a loving and uplifting space being with women, so filled with love. I'm not familiar with the circumstances around this teenage son, but so many men are suffering in today's society. I believe we all, but in particular women, need to be much more vocal about how much we appreciate and celebrate men and the masculine.

I'm working o...

Today I had a session with my teacher about a lot of frustrating patterns that I see and understand so well by now, yet I still can't help acting them out. He wanted to support me to feel/experience the safety of inner support, and to help me feel the young one beneath, the hole that I was experiencing, according to my spiritual path. It was a bit frustrating, because I didn't get there, which isn't a problem in itself, but everything was elusive. And then I started talking about the Jewel Force...

This poem or short writing comes from the belated and beloved Irish John O'Donaue, author and former priest, who writes beautifully about holy sensuality and sacred embodiment:

The body is a sacrament. The traditional definition of sacrament captures this beautifully. A sacrament is a visible sign of invisible grace. In that definition there is a fine acknowledgment of how the unseen world comes to expression in the visible world. This desire for expression lies deep in the heart of the invisible...
