24.01.2022 This has such an important message.

23.01.2022 So very true...sadly. Bystanders perpetuate abuse by proxy.

22.01.2022 Great article on how early ego driven power dynamics are learned. The wisdom in this is as relevant for adult women as it is for young girls.

22.01.2022 Beautifully said

21.01.2022 Getting to the heart of the matter ASAP

21.01.2022 Humans are not a commodity to be bought, sold, and trafficked...

20.01.2022 WHAT IS HEAVEN AND HELL? "A big, tough Samurai once went to see a little monk. "Monk," he said in a voice accustomed to instant obedience, "teach... me about heaven and hell!" The monk looked up at this mighty warrior and replied with utter disdain, "Teach you about heaven and hell? I couldn't teach you about anything. You're dirty. You smell. Your blade is rusty. You're a disgrace, an embarrassment to the samurai class. Get out of my sight. I can't stand you." The samurai was furious. He shook, got all red in the face, was speechless with rage. He pulled out his sword and raised it above him, preparing to slay the monk. "That's hell," said the monk softly. The samurai was overwhelmed. The compassion and surrender of this little man who had offered his life to give this teaching to show him hell! He slowly put down his sword, filled with gratitude and suddenly peaceful. "And that's heaven," said the monk softly."

19.01.2022 We may criticize or envy other women for receiving patriarchal approval for attenuating themselves AND also those women who do the opposite and risk being fully... and unapologetically themselves. The problem is the patriarchy doesn’t reward women for being real and authentic but rather for dis-owning themselves. This is why we may feel equally triggered by women who give their power away and also by women who fully claim it. We long to be authentic and fully seen in our power. Patriarchal society cannot and will never give us the validation we seek. As empowered women across the planet, we ourselves are creating the society that values authentic women and the values of inclusion, interdependence, vulnerability. We are building it within ourselves and in doing so, it will be increasingly visible in the world around us.

19.01.2022 Hypnosis is a powerful tool that is often used therapeutically with excellent results - However, it is vital that the practioner you choose is a qualified Counsellor or Psychologist and registered with a governing body such as ACA, PACFA, or APS. Normal practice is a 1-1 session in rooms at the therapists usual hourly rate. Any request of an inflation in cost is a red flag of unethical practice. Expect to pay $100 - $250 per hour. Group Facilitators use hypnotic techniques to... place participants in limerant space where they are particularly vulnerable to suggestion. The story below demonstrates just how easily this crosses into cult indoctrination. The line is very thin indeed. Cult expert Steve Hassan believes NXIVM's influence over its members derives from the use of NLP and hypnosis. Speaking to OprahMag.com, Hassan explained the use of hypnosis as it relates to cults like NXIVM, not stage shows. "Hypnosis bypasses a person's conscious ability to think critically. Hypnotic techniques used by mind-controllers can do grave harm. I have studied techniques used by many cult leaders and they all use variations of it," Hassan says.

18.01.2022 This is so true and so important. The quasi-spiritual discourse of late brings a narrative that somehow people attracted abuse into their lives. This only serves to re-victimise a traumatised soul and lets perpetrators off the hook. For those on the receiving end of such ‘supportive’ feedback, maybe your self appointed spiritual guru has a history of perpetrating abuse themselves.

18.01.2022 Taking the pressure off.

17.01.2022 Some neurobiology behind trauma bonding. Be on the look out for hot/cold nasty/nice patterns. Spending time in unstable environments like that can foster a neurotransmitter profile in your brain that is strikingly similar to a drug or gambling addiction.

16.01.2022 A great story for understanding your worth. A father said to his son: You graduated with honors, here is a car that I acquired many years ago ... it is several years old. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you.... The son went to the used car lot, returned to his father and said, "They offered me $ 1,000 because it looks very worn out." The father said, "Take him to the pawn shop." The son went to the pawn shop, returned to his father and said, "The pawn shop offered $ 100 because it was a very old car." The father asked his son to go to a car club and show them the car. The son took the car to the club, returned and told his father: Some people in the club offered $ 100,000 for it, since it is a Nissan Skyline R34, iconic car and sought after by many. The father said to his son, "I wanted you to know that the right place values you the right way." ... If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means that you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you, and never stay in a place where no one sees your value. #respect -A.J Morrow

16.01.2022 I’ve found this to be true...loving what is, is a very good start.

16.01.2022 Get a rat and put it in a cage and give it two water bottles. One is just water, and one is water laced with either heroin or cocaine. If you do that, the rat will almost always prefer the drugged water and almost always kill itself very quickly, right, within a couple of weeks. So there you go. It’s our theory of addiction. Bruce Alexander comes along in the ’70s and said, Well, hang on a minute. We’re putting the rat in an empty cage. It’s got nothing to do. Let’s try thi...s a little bit differently. So Bruce built Rat Park, and Rat Park is like heaven for rats. Everything your rat about town could want, it’s got in Rat Park. It’s got lovely food. It’s got sex. It’s got loads of other rats to be friends with. It’s got loads of colored balls. Everything your rat could want. And they’ve got both the water bottles. They’ve got the drugged water and the normal water. But here’s the fascinating thing. In Rat Park, they don’t like the drugged water. They hardly use any of it. None of them ever overdose. None of them ever use in a way that looks like compulsion or addiction. There’s a really interesting human example I’ll tell you about in a minute, but what Bruce says shows that both the right-wing and left-wing theories of addiction are wrong. So the right-wing theory is it’s a moral failing, you’re a hedonist, you party too hard. The left-wing theory is it takes you over, your brain is hijacked. Bruce says it’s not your morality, it’s not your brain; it’s your cage. Addiction is largely an adaptation to your environment. We’ve created a society where significant numbers of our fellow citizens cannot bear to be present in their lives without being drugged, right? We’ve created a hyperconsumerist, hyperindividualist, isolated world that is, for a lot of people, much more like that first cage than it is like the bonded, connected cages that we need. The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection. And our whole society, the engine of our society, is geared towards making us connect with things not people. If you are not a good consumer capitalist citizen, if you’re spending your time bonding with the people around you and not buying stuffin fact, we are trained from a very young age to focus our hopes and our dreams and our ambitions on things we can buy and consume. And drug addiction is really a subset of that." ~ Johann Hari For more ... https://www.ted.com//johann_hari_everything_you_think_you_ - ** About the work of Bruce K. Alexander

15.01.2022 "We are at our best when we serve others." Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilisation in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones. But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilisation in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You can...not run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilisation starts. Be civilised, be safe, be cautious.. be in care. We are at our best when we serve others. -- Amitabh Bachchan art | Christi Belcourt

15.01.2022 Ask yourself... who is defining the limits of your reality?

14.01.2022 GET OUT OF THE WAY Never try to help someone unless they are ready and willing to be helped. One thing we all eventually learn, the hard way. Until help is aske...d for, until there is a readiness to listen and inquire and challenge old patterns, your attempt to help will be felt as manipulation, control and resistance - your issue, your need, your war, not theirs. Defences will go up, positions will become hardened, and you will end up feeling frustrated or superior or powerless or broken, and the mirrored roles of 'victim' and 'saviour' will make you feel more disconnected from each other than ever. How to truly help? Meet them where they are right now. Let go of YOUR dream of their healing or recovery or enlightenment. Slow down. Validate their present experience. Don't try to impose your own agenda or assume what is 'best' for them. Perhaps you don't know what is 'best'. Perhaps they are more hardy, intelligent, resourceful, and full of potential, than you ever thought possible. Perhaps what is 'best' for them today is not to want - or need - your help! Perhaps they actually need to suffer or struggle or seek more. Perhaps they are aligning and healing in their own unique way. Perhaps what this moment requires is trust, and deep listening, and profound respect for where they are in their journey. Perhaps you are only trying to help yourself, anyway. This is humbling stuff. Perhaps real change comes not from trying to impose change on others, but by aligning with where they are right now, unlocking all the creative intelligence of the moment, honouring their unique path, bowing to the mysterious process of healing. When you try to change someone, you are communicating to them that they are not okay as they are, that you dislike their present experience and want it to be different. You may even be communicating to them that you don't love or trust or respect them. When you stop trying to change them, and meet them as they are today (even if that brings frustration, fear and guilt), and you align with life as it presents itself (even if that means meeting your own resistance to life), great and unexpected change is possible, for now you are a true friend and ally of the universe. Stop trying to change others, and they will change - or not - in their own sweet way, in their own sweet time, held in your love, helped by your trust. For the mind is not in charge of change. Perhaps you help the most when you get out of help’s way. - Jeff Foster

14.01.2022 Trust...the glue that keeps a relationship intact.

13.01.2022 This narrative has come up a lot of late. Knowledge is the first step to freedom.

12.01.2022 An excellent, yet a little lengthy, resource.

11.01.2022 There were many early red flags in the run up to this horrific event such as stalking behaviour and recording Hannah’s conversations. As women , and as a society, it’s vital we educate ourselves. Support for couples separating needs to be as normal as monitoring new mums when babies are brought home.

11.01.2022 This post from Sacred Dreams had me thinking about Conscious Leadership. The world needs this more than ever before. Once those structures crumble that are based on lies and hatred...the new consciousness will rise. The moment we demonize or vilify those who disagree with us or do things differently, we commit an act of violence by severing an opportunity to learn and find loving empathy and compassion to resolve conflict. We’ve all been immature.... We’ve all been wrong. We’ve all hurt others. We’ve all lied. We are all awakening at our own pace. Making boundaries with those not yet ready to awaken is understandable. However, we cannot lead with spite and vengeance, for the problems of the world are too enormous, and hostility - no matter how small- simply festers to create more hostility. We must become more mindful, understanding, and conscious in our behavior if we are to ask others to do the same. The real battle is not against each other, but against the ignorance and distances between us which prevent understanding. If we want to realistically live in a world wherein people are conscious, compassionate, and responsible enough to be sovereign and easily resolve conflict, we must embody the very maturity and virtue we ask from others. We must strive to be a living example of the principles and ideals we uphold, and not be so easily triggered in to division and hostility.~ ~Humberto Braga art: Annelie Solis Original post from Sacred Dreams

11.01.2022 Here Stein is defining cultish themes and behaviour. If any of this resonates do reach out...you will be believed and held

09.01.2022 Great work! And lovely colours

09.01.2022 Original Post by Sacred Dreams.. To look at another woman with inspiration rather than the green eyes of envy. To love another woman as a sister, rather than seeing them as the enemy. To remember we each hold a love so vast and powerful it could heal the World,... To realise within our femininity is a strength that can moves mountains, That can either heal or crush another’s soul, To take our responsibility as the wardens of Mother Earth as a privilege, rather than a burden. To embrace and engage with the unspoken within and without. To heal our wounds consciously for ourselves, our ancestors, future generations and one another. To allow the feelings to flow through, To be acknowledged and let go. To observe, To speak from the heart, To accept our vulnerabilities as strength, Sister I see you as you speak your truth, Sister I honour you as you claim who you are, Sister I hold you as you rise to who you are destined to be. ~Clare Deale

09.01.2022 A profound post from Midwives of the Soul.. If we are trying to live by ideals, we are constantly plagued by a sense of unreality. It is easier to try to be better than you are than to be who you are. Perfection does not allow for feeling. Perfection is not interested in staying in the body. It wants to fly, wants ideals, wants beauty, wants truth, wants light, and you sure don't get these here. ... Perfection massacres the feminine. Our culture pulses to the pressure of perfection. To move toward perfection is to move out of life or never to enter. [Perfection] has foolproof recipes for everything. If strictly followed (and to follow is to follow strictly), they guarantee success. Perfection's real world is the world of things, things that work efficiently. She is impatient of error, having no room for it; there is no need for it. Anyone learning under her jurisdiction will be oriented from the start to objects and goals, clearly defined. Perfection's daughter knows herself as a thing, thinks of herself as an object designed for high efficiency. She does not know her mother's knowledge is not wisdom, is without human meaning, is without personal love. [Perfection's] daughter has no standpoint of her own. There is no danger of her opening to her own weeping. There is no danger of her singing her own song. Eventually we have to face the fact that we are not God. -- Marion Woodman. art | Aykut Aydodu

08.01.2022 Fair weather friends. When life gets hard.. those who care show up and those who pretend to care disappear. It’s a way to determine the depth and sustainability of any relationship.

08.01.2022 Bit of Brene awesomeness for your Tuesday....

08.01.2022 Scientists say it’s basic human nature to be compassionate, which is good because if it were to be angry there'd be no hope. What's more, scientists have observ...ed that constant anger, fear and hatred have the effect of undermining our immune system, whereas cultivating a compassionate heart is much better for our health. This is why it's important that we use our brains to promote such values. See more

07.01.2022 Who are you becoming? I don’t care how spiritual you are. How long you can melt in the sweat lodge. How many peyote journeys that have blown your mind, or how well you can hold crow pose. Honestly. I don’t. I don’t care what planets fall in what houses on your birth chart, how many crystals you have or how vegan your diet is. I want to know how human you are. Can you sit at the feet of the dying despite the discomfort? Can you be with your grief, or mine, without trying to ad...vise, fix or maintain it? I want to know that you can show up at the table no matter how shiny, chakra- aligned or complete you are- or not. Can you hold loving space for your beloved in the depths of your own healing without trying to be big? It doesn’t flatter me how many online healing trainings you have, that you live in the desert or in a log cabin, or that you’ve mastered the art of tantra. What turns me on is busy hands. Planting roots. That despite how tired you are, you make that phone call, you board that plane, you love your children, you feed your family. I have no interest in how well you can ascend to 5D, astral travel or have out of body sex. I want to see how beautifully you integrate into ordinary reality with your unique magic, how you find beauty and gratitude in what’s surrounding you, and how present you can be in your relationships. I want to know that you can show up and do the hard and holy things on this gorgeously messy Earth. I want to see that you can be sincere, grounded and compassionate as equally as you are empowered, fiery and magnetic. I want to know that even during your achievements, you can step back and be humble enough to still be a student. What’s beautiful and sexy and authentic is how well you can continue to celebrate others no matter how advanced you’ve become. What’s truly flattering is how much you can give despite how full you’ve made yourself. What’s honestly valuable is how fucking better of a human you can be, in a world that is high off of spiritual materialism and jumping the next escape goat for 'freedom'. At the end of the day I don’t care how brave you are. How productive, how popular, how enlightened you are. At the end of the day, I want to know that you were kind. That you were real. I want to know that you can step down from the pedestal from time to time to kiss the earth and let your hair get dirty and your feet get muddy, and join the dance with us all.

07.01.2022 Some Monday morning musings. What does this message from the Dalai Lama have you thinking? Do you agree?

07.01.2022 I am..... powerful words that limit your possibilities and potential. You can do anything once you stop labelling yourself in definitive terms. Re-author the story of you.

06.01.2022 In Africa, they say that if one person gets sick, everybody is sick. The village or the tribe is seen as a huge tree with thousands of branches. When part of this living entity is diseased, there is a need to reexamine the whole tree. - Sobonfu Some, The Spirit of Intimacy

06.01.2022 So very true. Sadly.

05.01.2022 Some great wisdom

04.01.2022 Might be time for a life audit

04.01.2022 A long, but important message for women.

03.01.2022 Every time a woman walks away from a relationship that's putting out her flame she is leading. Every time a woman says no when it's uncomfortable to do so she is leading. Every time a woman slows down when everyone is telling her to do more she is leading.... Every time a woman listens to her intuition and acts accordingly she is leading. Every time a woman makes a choice that serves her highest good she is leading. Every time you do what's best for you, even when it's hard, even when it's painful, even when it means starting all over, you are leading. Be powerful sister. Rise to the occasion. Every time you honor yourself, you are leading the way for all of the women in your community. Women who are watching and maybe even waiting... For a sign or a source of inspiration To leave, to start over, to birth a new dream, to break a pattern, to stand up, to say no more, to say I'm worth it. What you do is so important. When you settle, you set an example. When you rise up, you set an example. It is your responsibility and mine to make bold moves in this lifetime. It is our responsibility to rise together, to show one another that it is safe to get after whatever our hearts desire. To know that through it all there are women who have our backs. To know that even when the relationship ends, the old life dies, the business fails, the money dries up, or health declines, there will still be love showered upon us. We will never be alone so long as we nurture ourselves and our connections with other women. We will never be without so long as we remember that even when life is busy, there is no greater priority than community. Women, we are meant to go through life as a tribe. When you're down, let me clean your house, let me cook for you, let me rub your forehead and tell you everything will be alright. When I am down, hold me and let my tears fall freely. In times when I forget my own strength, remind me to keep going. When you think you are lost, I will help you find your way. See my light when I am stuck in my shadow. I will do the same for you. Because I love you. And that is what sisterhood is about. Original post from wise woman sisterhood

03.01.2022 I saw a deep, deep sickness and inhumanity at the heart of contemporary spirituality. The invalidation of trauma, the false promises, the power games, the suppression of the feminine. - Jeff Foster

02.01.2022 Some inspiration for the week. Stay calm, stay centred, keep your space clear of hatred. The storm will pass

01.01.2022 Super important to watch out for your friends.
