24.01.2022 Seven days to go ... only seven tickets remain!
23.01.2022 This year I danced deeply with grief. I know I’m not the only one And I’m seeing that grief and gratitude are inseparable. For me, gratitude is less a practice, and more of a spontaneous arising An awe and wonder as the heart opens... And particularly when the heart is broken open As we let grief cleanse our hearts We uncover gratitude beneath, and even within the grief Gratitude is the grace that is bestowed When one is willing to feel fully To cry the uncried tears To give voice to the unspoken words To unleash the unexpressed rage To tenderly hold the silent heartbreak Layer upon layer Achingly, and patiently We taste the sweetness Because we’ve tasted the bitter These last weeks I’ve cried many tears of gratitude I’ve tasted them and relished their sweet saltiness I've taken pleasure in the hot wetness upon my cheeks Gratitude has a way of filling the heart to overflowing And spilling out The inner experience of gratitude Transforms into an outward expression of generosity As love, Unable to be contained This is my experience, anyhow. I'd love to hear yours. Oh - and I just stopped in at @flowersoftheworldbrisbane and brought home these beauties. They pretty much convey how my heart feels.

20.01.2022 The last two times I’ve gone out to buy roses, I’ve been gifted a bunch! Today I took myself on a date to the rose gardens as part of my premenstrual self-care. The gardeners were pruning back the rose bushes and gifted me these red beauties, much to my delight!! ... Today I cried when I found out a rose farm has opened one suburb away from my home, and that next month they are opening to visitors to pick their own roses!!! So many sisters of the rose have found their way to me and my work recently. I’ve had a few conversations this week with women interested in my Shakti Yoga certification. When I asked one of them on the other side of the world how she found me, she simply and clearly stated: ‘the Rose’. Such is her magical and miraculous ways! I’m feeling to document them more, and I would love to hear yours as well . I’m also seriously considering compiling a book of love poems to the rose; my muse. Her spiral pathway is guiding me ever deeper into the heart of the Mystery
19.01.2022 This needs to happen more often!!! Tonight I gathered with six of my temple initiates for a night in sacred circle. Phoarrr... these circles make BIG ripples. This is medicine for the earth in these times, and I know it. I am crazy grateful for all the groundwork and the humble fumbling (I still sometimes fumble!) temple gatherings over the years to come to this place in this moment in time to sit with women of this calibre who share my vision for the earth. It’s pretty... effing epic. Also- THIS "The feminine holds the mystery of creation. This simple and primordial truth is often overlooked, but at this time of global crisis, which also carries the seeds of a global transformation, we need to reawaken to the spiritual power and potential of the feminine... We see around us a world being destroyed by greed and consumerism, and feel within us the hunger of our soul for a way of life that acknowledges the sacred within all of life. And deeper, there is the cry of the soul of the world, the primal cry that comes from the depths of creation when the divine light that belongs to life is being lost. At this time we need to reclaim what has been denied and what has been abandoned in the pursuit of our materialistic dreams. We need to return to the core of our being, to where the sacred comes into existence. And the mystical feminine holds the key to this work of redemption and transformation". Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee. Thank you, beautiful, powerful sisters for doing this work with me and for fanning my flames!! Yes, to more of this!

18.01.2022 Seven years ago I walked into a bookstore in the throes of a painful life initiation & bought a copy of Women who run with the wolves. My soulfire was dim & I sensed this thick paperback would be medicine for me. Not long after buying the book-a time of HUGE upheaval -I moved into a tiny house in the forest & spent a lot of time in solitude in deep practice, piecing myself back together & integrating some painful lessons. ... The book’s subtitle- contacting the power of the wild woman, is precisely how I spent my years in deep nature - acquainting myself intimately with nature’s cycles & my feminine nature, kindling my soulfire, & gradually bringing women together to do the same. Meanwhile, the book served as an oracle. I would only read from it when I felt a call to. Every time, it had exactly the message I needed. It fanned the flames of my soulfire that was growing brighter & stronger. After working its magic, I’d mark the page I was up to & return it to the bookshelf until it called again. Recently when I was called to read from this book I was completely blown away. The author explained that a woman’s life is divided into phases of 7 years, each with distinct learnings & experiences. She describes 7 as the number of initiation. As woman transits through these cycles, her layers of defense, protection, density, become more and more sheer until her very soul begins to shine through. Then it dawned on me that I am literally at the end of a 7-year cycle, AND that when I moved into the forest I was entering a new cycle. It helped me to make sense of the restlessness I’ve been feeling & the sense of readiness to step into something even more authentically me. On the same day, one of my besties messaged me about the 7-year cycle she was about to begin & the significance of it for her And of course, it took me 7 years to finally finish the book Next month I’ll turn 35, & December will mark 7 years in this forest home. I feel myself at a threshold as I prepare to enter my sixth 7-year cycle on earth. Honouring this passage feels significant! Have you noticed big shifts with 7-year cycles in your life?? See more
18.01.2022 H ss Join me for a FREE live {online} Shakti Yoga circle tomorrow eve - under the ripeness of the (nearly) full moon! {FREE EVENT} Honey of Bliss: Shakti Yoga full moon meditation Here, the sensual and feeling nature of woman is fully welcomed At this time where we are collectively sitting in the fires of transformation, the sweet nurturance of the Mother Goddess and the cooling lunar essence of the moon is a balm that can support us with the deepest kind of no...urishment and inner balance. It is Libra season, after all! Soma in Sanskrit refers to the honey of bliss, literally the essence of the moon. It also describes a ritual drink - a nectar of immortality that prolongs life and rejuvenates the body. This sacred substance is associated with qualities of nourishment, receptivity, blissfulness, fluidity and surrender - all of which we will be accessing through our practice. I also love that in English Soma refers to the body. In Shakti Yoga, the body is the vessel; the chalice that prepares to receive the inflow of this sublime nectar - the soma. We will drink deeply from the wellspring of Soma during this gathering via : Ritual Guided meditation Gentle somatic movement, and Inner Tantric practices of mudra, mantra and breath - all of which are foundational to the Shakti Yoga practice. Come, sister. Imbibe of the nectar of the sacred Feminine for deep rejuvenation to quench your innermost thirst for the sublime. This session will also provide a "taste" for any women drawn to join the 12-week Shakti Yoga Online Immersion beginning October 3 - THIS SATURDAY! Registrations are essential - you’ll find the link on the event page: {FREE EVENT} Honey of Bliss: Shakti Yoga full moon meditation The recording will be available for 72 hours after the event to women who register.

17.01.2022 The female form has been endlessly objectified, Or denied in the pursuit of spirit The flesh of woman considered sinful; ... The root of temptation Which is why so many women are cut off from their power . The wisdom of the female body has been overridden for millennia. The body of the earth herself - our home- has been subjected to the same abuse Our modern culture is obsessed with appearance, Denying woman access to the nourishing waters of her depths . Women are THIRSTY - yet often misguided in seeking to quench that thirst outside of herself; Or keeping up appearances while her soul remains severely undernourished. . The imprint of patriarchy runs so deep that often we don’t even realise how embedded it is. . Until She, In her fury for being forgotten In her wild longing to be known Demands our attention Be it through pleasure or pain Birth or death Or the recognition that the two cannot be separated; Or avoided Perhaps she humbles us with her absolute wonder And once we see her, feel her, taste her, touch her we cannot turn away . Only through the body can we heal the separation between spirit and matter. . A woman who knows and honour the presence of the sacred within her, and the creative power she possesses, is truly a gift to the world. . The female body contains portals to power, and gateways to truth. It is an ASSET to awakening. . It is our birthright to feel at home in our skin In touch with the innocence and the NATURALNESS of our sensuality Our body is home of the soul and an expression of spirit The Goddess taking shape - not in an icon, Or a statue But in your flesh, blood and bones . BODY OF THE GODDESS is a 5-week journey; a reclamation of the body - from the shameful to the sacred We gather in the (online) temple weekly for deep sharing within our intimate circle, ritual & somatic practice, This is a homecoming into your skin where all of you is welcome Sister. I invite you to come, Drink deep from that which you are thirsty for We begin on the new moon - January 13th. *** Registrations close on Tuesday at midday AEST *** Details and bookings here: https://bit.ly/2TRy7fW Reach out with any questions - I am here and ready to greet you at the temple door. Love, Jasmine Rose P.S don’t know the artist - do you?
16.01.2022 Sand adding a whole other dimension of delight to my daily movement practice while having a few days of island time {Sound on for sweet birdsong!} There is something about having not only bare feet on the earth, but hands as well... It awakens the instinctual wisdom of the body; the wild woman. A playfulness that sparks our innate joy.... Not to mention, the hands are full of sense receptors (hello handgasms!!) AND powerful conduits of energy - the earth loves to be loved up in this way And - she totally reciprocates! Most of the practices I teach in Shakti Yoga have a center of gravity close to the earth. In this hyped-up world of over-stimulation, learning to bring our energy down is essential. Most women are dominated by the mental realm which means a lot of energy gets stuck in the head - because society hasn’t exactly valued our body wisdom ... It can feel awkward at first to return into the body in this way. I’ve been there. I remember dancing in my early twenties and literally only moving my upper body. My hips were ‘offline’ and absent from my energetic grid. My sensuous femininity wasn’t exactly celebrated either. It has been SO worthwhile reclaiming. My hips, womb & belly are now my sacred center -a reference point that has become my natural resting place AND a source of immense pleasure and wisdom. My gut instinct is The way I believe it should be!! This is why I am SO passionate about guiding women deeper into their bodies and the wisdom of the earth, awakening the subtle pleasures and delights - and the totally practical skill of feeling the body from the inside. I love that offering my Shakti Yoga immersion online means women all around the world have the opportunity to dive into this exploration from the comfort of their own homes whilst being FULLY supported. We begin 3rd October - come play? Details here: http://jasminerose.co/shakti-yoga-online-immersion/
12.01.2022 FORGET WHAT THEY TOLD YOU ABOUT LOVE Remember what you really hunger for Temper the temptation To reach for that which you will never grasp... Be humoured by the fickleness of your fantasies Untangle from delusion For the reality of love is more than you’ve dreamed of And nothing like you could imagine It is SO familiar So deeply intimate That your mind will doubt it Come, Come closer This, beloved, Is the relentless romance That does not fade or falter Even in your absence It is present There is no honeymoon phase, Yet this love is dripping With honey Like a fount that pours forth nectar From the core of existence Let it trickle in Drip by drip Quenching your eternal thirst I know you’re exhausted, my love From the endless search For that which was never missing Fathomless rest awaits you here - if you dare to let go As you drop your armour Be so enamoured That you forget your name Fall, Fall so madly in love Your soul knows how So, surrender Fall into the bliss of the abyss Let your arrows of desire Pierce the heart Of the one who was never, ever apart from you And so inextricably a part of you . . @jhanabowenart See more
12.01.2022 feel something has relaxed in me already, knowing I am coming to see you. I felt this beautiful shakti energy last night in bed, it was so healing. I felt so scared when I was making the payment and booking my appointment but then once it was done there was an instant shift, like magic! I get messages like this from women all the time - this one came this week from a client booking in for Womb Love sessions with me I regularly experience this for myself when steppin...g into something that feels aligned and a little beyond what is comfortable. I’ve done this a lot this year so I’m getting more familiar with the sensations that are guiding me, and able to create space for the discomfort as well. There is a certain shakti or power of commitment. In saying YES. Feeling some trepidation is also natural in the face of transformation. I know the courage it takes to walk through the open door; To trust the call and step into the mystery Not always knowing exactly why I LOVE when women step into sacred space with me in this way With trust in the deep knowing that the mind cannot always justify or understand The very action of walking through unlocks dormant energy for us both It summons support And it creates an opening within And so the sacred contract begins It truly is magic! I write all of my clients’ names on my altar as soon as they book in, and call in blessings and grace In the work I do, I tend to the temple and create sacred space I open the door and invite you in Though you are the one who walks through it, if you choose This is your invitation to join me in my virtual temple space for the 12-week Shakti Yoga immersion I am feeling the energy of this container building, and the magic brewing. We begin in 1 week - although the magic begins as soon as you say yes So if it calls to you sister, come! The door is open, and so is my heart, ready to welcome you All the details can be found here: https://bit.ly/33kSxCi Or via the FB event: Shakti Yoga online immersion Sacred feminine embodiment
11.01.2022 Nature is the ultimate beauty treatment I don’t go to the hairdressers very often, but my hair never looks as good as when I come out of these fresh flowing waters. I’d rather have dirt under my finger nails and relish in the visceral joys of being a human creature on this earthly planet than be precious about my fake nails. I haven’t worn high heels in over 10 years because I cherish being close to the ground, rooted in the earth. I feel most alive and beautiful when I am literally in touch with the earth. Women always tell me they want to be more in touch with their feminine side. I say - get in touch with HER - literally touch, feel, lay on, relish all of the sensual delights of the earth and the blessing of being in a body. Take off your shoes, for Goddess’ sake! She is longing to feel you too.
11.01.2022 Beloved sisters earlybird ends tomorrow for BODY OF THE GODDESS I am calling in intimate circle of women (13 sisters) to sit in a weekly ritual space to remember and activate the Goddess codes that exist deep in our body. Together we will explore soulful somatic practices to cultivate inner intimacy, drink in of our own essence, and melt into the Mystery. ... THESE sessions are EXPERIENTIAL - we will not be philosophising about the Divine Feminine - We will be sensing her, tasting her, being touched by her, embodying her. Remembering we ARE her, and that our bodies are a sacred vessel through which we can realise this. : The way you’ve been meditating/moving your body feels dry & mechanical with lacklustre results . You are drawn to the Goddess/Sacred Feminine/Divine Mother presence in any form . You yearn to relinquish control, soften your edges & surrender - as an embodied experience, not a concept . You’ve been wondering what wisdom is awaiting you within your womb (or womb space) . You desire to embrace your sensuality as sacred & receive more nourishment through being in your body . You want to remember & recognise your body’s beauty + wonder . You sense a stirring - however subtle or strong - within your belly, womb & s3x - and want to learn how to consecrate & harvest this energy. Or perhaps you’d like to awaken this connection. . You long to connect more meaningfully & authentically with other women . Or perhaps you’d just like the opportunity to sit in a safe and sacred space dedicated to deep feminine embodiment for 5 weeks (who wouldn’t!) . There is something about being in the held container that inspires us to engage in sacred practice AND allows us to relax & receive deeply. We begin on the first new moon of 2021 . Temple gatherings take place via Zoom for 5 wks beginning 13th January at 7.30pm AEST Wednesdays . Each circle is a ceremony in which, breath by breath, we reclaim the innocence and the PLEASURE of our flesh, blood & bones through ritual movement, deep sharing +feminine wisdom. This group is a perfect starting point, even if you’ve never done anything like this before, but wherever you are on your journey - if you feel the call, you are welcome. I have already taken my seat in the temple and await with open arms to welcome you one by one . As the moon shines bright tonight, I’m feeling the splendour of SHE & tangibly sensing the nectar that we will be drinking in through this journey. If it calls you- come!! Book (via link bio) before 1st Jan for $249 AUD instead of $333 Book before 1st Jan for $249 AUD instead of $333 Here: https://bit.ly/3aNAn1w
10.01.2022 CREATION Vs PRODUCTION Last week I announced Body of the Goddess - an online temple group which feels so juicy and aligned for me. The timing, on the other hand, feels not quite right. In my last post I shared about creating from the womb, and the womb as a place where creations gestate until just the right time. ... And to tell the truth - this offering is feeling a little under-ripe. This has been a BIG year for me creation-wise. On some level I put pressure on myself to offer one more thing before the year is out, and announced this temple group with only a 2 week lead up. I soon realised I was coming from a place of SHOULD rather than COULD Pure CREATION for me is like joining forces with nature. It is aligning with the spontaneous arising of energy and how it wants to move and express. You could say it is the feminine way, birthing from the womb of creation. Infinite and magnificent possibilities exist when one is willing to enter the void. This is the realm of COULD . It is free from agenda, pressure or obligation. This doesn’t mean no effort is required, just that there is an ease and collaboration, being a vessel for the creative force to move through. PRODUCTION on the other hand is coming from ideals/expectation - being informed by what one thinks they should do versus what is really and truly inspired. It’s more top-down or you could say masculine. In our world, this is the default. The feminine way of creating is actually quite radical. But- this is my devotion, and actually a big piece that I’ll be teaching in Body of the Goddess Creating from the void is how I want to roll, as edgy as it is! The in-between is what we often avoid. We always want to grasp for the next thing - often without fully giving ourselves to what is right here before us. The truth is - this offering deserves more of my energy than I’m able to give at this moment in time. This is why I’ve decided to postpone til January. I'll announce the new dates and details soon, but feel free to get in touch, or join the FB event if you want to stay in the loop - Body of the Goddess Online temple journey with Jasmine Rose Love, Jasmine Rose
09.01.2022 O holy desire, My passion fire is ablaze I resist the temptation To spread like wildfire To chase and hunt my prey... And instead I pray With all my fervour, I am on fire I let the flames of this sacrificial fire Consume me I let the intensity build And I let it burn It burns away my petty infatuations And illuminates my projections My misplaced affections are diverted To the One I adore the most It melts me as I merge Into to the fiery core within It hurtles me into the heart of the original desire For the One The place from which all desires are born The sacred pillar of the divine masculine, the Shiva lingam, the Christ Light, he rises now within me Resurrected at last I adore him with my all I hereby unite my desire with my devotion I consummate my eros with my love I pour it into everything I do Every touch, every step, every gaze Tempering it first in my heart With the diamond purity and absolute innocence of love For the love of God, I dedicate it to Life itself, in the highest service And the deepest reverence For this creative force that birthed me This holy spirt That moves me That rebirths me again and again Caitlin Denise Photography

08.01.2022 I don’t fully align with the title of yoga teacher anymore, yet I am a yogini at heart. I am guided by a deep undercurrent of feminine wisdom; lineages of yoginis whose transmission is ancient, timeless and SO pertinent right now. This is a BIG missing piece in most modern yoga offerings, which have their origins in a male lineage of yogis (and most of them have been outed now for s#xual abuse). This is ironic since most teachers and practitioners are women.... My original studies of yoga were no exception. And while there was a lot of value in what I learnt, there was A LOT my yoga teachers and texts didn't teach me. . I uncovered this for myself via the messy reality of being a woman in a female body, and the swirling of energy in my pelvis that commanded my reverence. . The more I listened, the more I came to recognise and respect my body as the oracle. I discovered the womb as a most potent portal of power that I had direct access to - INSIDE my body. This revelation transformed me profoundly, and it took a lot of unlearning and re-membering to get in touch with myself in this way - even though it is SO natural. I had to untangle myself from the spiritual dogma and contact my deep inner knowing, which meant unleashing my wildness. . The feminine mysteries revealed themselves through my body - especially when practising in nature. The revelation of the lineages of yoginis throughout time and space began to shimmer and slither through my body, awakening me to their reality. I found myself writhing in rapture in ways that would've had me cast out of the traditional yoga schools I had religiously attended. . It's no wonder that a lot of the women’s lineages went underground or weren't documented. . These secret wisdom codes are directly accessible through the body, for those who dare to feel fully and trust deeply. These are the codes I am here to embody and transmit. . This is what I share in Shakti Yoga, and will be sharing in my upcoming Shakti Yoga online immersion : Sacred feminine embodiment . If you are a yoga teacher like me who feels dissillusioned by the industry and drawn to embody and teach the feminine way, my certification program is starting soon - send me a message to set up a time to chat about this! It begins 3rd October! Send me a DM if you'd like to join or head straight to my website : https://bit.ly/33kSxCi . Art : Kali Yantra by Kali Levitov
08.01.2022 Darlings ...just wanted to show my face (and a cheeky bit of cheek for good measure! ) to wish you a happy new year and to tell you that I love you! . I spent a few days at New Years off grid at the Conscious Clubbing campout at this most pristine location by a gushing river .. and am about to head into an intimate jungle retreat with my 5 rhythms teacher Honor Morningstar and I am just a little bit (okay, a lot) excited! .... After three cancelled holidays this year, this is feeling pretty sweet. I also squeezed in a visit to the beach yesterday and a luscious dip in the ocean. . This is the first time I’ve taken retreat in a long while, and I am looking forward to deeply immersing and filling up my cup. . Because, I know 2021 is going to be a big one. Because - I’m offering my FIRST EVER Shakti Yoga teacher training. . This is a 9-month comprehensive training (online!) in the philosophy, practice and art of facilitating sacred feminine embodiment in the form of Shakti Yoga and women’s circles. . One gorgeous woman has already signed up - even before the details have gone live - which leaves 11 places. . It’ll go live on my website soon, but you are welcome to get in touch and I can send you through the details before it does That said - I’ll be offline til Friday! Also - BODY OF THE GODDESS - my 5 week (online) temple group starts next Wednesday 13th Jan on the new moon. You can book in for that here: https://bit.ly/3aNAn1w . You are also WELCOME to book in for Wise Womb healing sessions in my Brisbane temple and online Embodied Feminine Healing sessions with me at jasminerose.co - I haven’t updated my 2021 pricing yet (which is good for you ) - Because - I’m on holidays! .

07.01.2022 ::: WOMB CONSCIOUSNESS::: Something I love about this picture is the dirt in my toenails in contrast with the red lipstick & silk dress. It sums me up pretty well. I’m a lover of beauty & luxury AND a deeply grounded earthy woman. I worship true beauty with roots firmly planted deep within the deep. I am not afraid to get down & dirty, nor am I partial to the finer things in life. ... This womb-like hollow within the earth on the land her has always called me. Being held within the womb of the Mother is such deep medicine. Plunging my awareness into my own womb space has the same effect. It is the seat of my sovereignty. The womb is both a place for holding (and being held) as much as it is a place of release & birth. The relationship between the womb & the earth is symbiotic. A woman with an alliance with her womb power is inherently aligned with the wisdom of the earth. When I guide women in inhabiting their womb space, she almost always discovers that the womb is carrying energetic imprints or baggage, which can obstruct her pure creative power. This might be from a past or present lover, ancestral patterns, collective feminine wounding, medical or sxual trauma - to name a few. The beauty & power of clearing the womb space regularly & bringing consciousness to this space within the pelvis is that conscious creation can take place. We can gestate whatever we desire to create - & to hold it safe within the womb until it is ripe. The womb is the place I create from. That’s why I often talk about birthing something or rebirthing myself. Aligning with the cycles of the womb (or the moon ) is a powerful way to become congruent with the natural abundance of energy & the source of creative inspiration that is soul-aligned. I’ve been sharing with a lot of my clients lately about womb consciousness- one of my favourite topics! I will be sharing more about this in my upcoming Body of the Goddess temple group - now postponed til Jan (I’ll share about that in my next post!) In the meantime, you can download my womb clearing meditation at jasminerose.co for just $13AUD We can also go deeper 1:1 - online or in person - DM for details
06.01.2022 ? ? This week, the third holiday I’d planned this year got cancelled. More than anything, I was humoured My biggest disappointment of the year was cancelling the pilgrimage I was set to lead in the Himalayas of Nepal, followed by stay on the banks of the Ganga in India - two Motherlands of my soul.... Yet one of the greatest blessings of this year has been a deepening in connection to country; this land where I was born and brought up. . Ever deeper reverence for this land And its ancient, ancient wisdom Has blossomed like the pink flowering eucalypts ready to burst in my front yard The trees, the soils, the rocks, the waters - the ancestors - They are sharing so much more of their wisdom, because I am here . And I am listening . The land longs to be heard ; And to hear our prayers and our praise And most of all - our songs The land longs to heal And be healed . And as I’ve listened she has revealed the songs Longing to be sung And so I have . The trees and the rocks have steadily witnessed all that has unfolded in my life with everlasting patience and infinite compassion Now and then I turn towards them - and yet they never turn away from me . I have fallen more in love with eucalypts than ever before - a tree I used to consider boring - I guess because their presence was so familiar I had never stopped to really and truly appreciate the incredible spirit of this tree . I adore the way the grey gums turn red at this time of year And their bark crumbles under my feet . This depth of my roots has allowed me to expand more into my truth . Apparent ‘restrictions’ and ‘confinement’ have been prime conditions for my soul’s expansion Because the flights got grounded, I am more grounded than I’ve ever been . I’ve been making daily pilgrimages to sit with particular trees I’ve discovered pockets of nature and walking trails on my doorstep that eluded me for the 7 years I’ve lived here - probably because I was too busy jet-setting about . I’ve had the luxury of seeing the world and now my eyes are wide open in awe of what’s been here all along . The place I call home and the endless wonders and wisdom it is revealing to me . I can still call upon the spirit of the mountains, rivers, lakes and temples from lands afar that have stirred my soul and where my footsteps have lain I can access the power of these places wherever I am - and indeed I do . When I recently pondered the question of what makes something sacred, I considered this: Something becomes sacred because we make it so I know that the reverence I have poured into this land where I live has brought it more to life Without a doubt . The more I love her The more she loves me back When I have nothing to give She holds me regardless It’s not the Himalayas But it’s home Sweet, sweet home
04.01.2022 My womb is humming in sweet resonance and my heart is brimming with gratitude for the women finding their way to my temple for womb healing sessions. I’m in awe of what has been moving through me and humbled to be entrusted with this vulnerable territory for so many women. I am moved by the profound courage I see in my clients, the letting go’s, the revelations, the openings, the tenderness, the empowerment - all of it and every thing in between. ... This is sacred work and I am in deep devotion to it. Lots of women have been asking about it lately, so I decided to make a little video today between clients to show you around the temple and share a little more about what these sessions are like. Feel free to reach out if you want to know more You can also book in on my website! I’ll put the link in the comments. I’m also feeling inspired to make some videos for you about the womb so pop any questions or topics of interest in the comments
04.01.2022 My heart is melted. My womb is ignited. My cheeks are flushed. Something is stirring deep in my belly. I’ve spent the last four days in the temple working hands-on with wombs. It feels like such an incredible honour. ... Nearly seven years ago now when I transformed this space into a temple and named it the Cosmic Womb Space, I had no idea of the significance. I hadn’t even begun my own journey with the womb at that point. But it’s incredible what the soul knows and how we are guided and moved by something so deep and wise. I’ve been tugged in a few different directions lately with my work, which takes many forms and expressions, but with the same undercurrent. One nudge I keep getting is to create and offer a teacher training for Shakti Yoga, which I know would require ALL of me. Women’s temple work ignites me and I am inspired to continue to bring women together in this potent way which allows me to reach SO many more women. And then there is this one-on-one work with wombs. Lately lots of women have reached out to me to do this work online and I’ve finally agreed to offer sessions in format, which is brand new territory for me. I felt the same trepidation when shifting my women’s temple groups online, and having experienced just how powerful that is, I gave in! I’m also feeling the call to offer another Shakti Yoga online immersion - which is now all set up and ready to go. AND What I am having to accept, is that I cannot do everything. Right now, I’m following the energy where it feels most alive and needed. Anyhow - just felt to share what I’m up to as I haven’t said much lately, and because it helps my process . I would be SO open to your input too, if any of these offerings call to you!!! Thank you for witnessing me See more
04.01.2022 Three years ago, I officially became Miss Rose. This spring equinox (today!) is my re-birthday. Changing my name legally was a sacrament I felt deeply called to, and I can honestly say it has changed my life subtly yet profoundly. What’s in a name? ... For me, it feels substantial. It is a signature of soul An incantation when spoken aloud Rose is my lineage And my legacy Rose is synonymous with Goddess - she to whom I am probably WAY more wildly devoted than I let on The deep ravine within her every fold is a portal Into the depths of the Mystery She wields her sword within every thorn Protecting her sacred softness She gives freely of her beauty and fragrance Yet she commands respect Her prized fragrance is an elixir from the heavens She who arises from the earth and flowers with the touch of the sun - her adoring lover The spirit of the red rose is my invisible talisman My protectress Her thorns pierce through to the sacred center of my heart, and the heart of my womb And stirs my innermost longing for the Beloved Her beauty touches me so deeply - whether budding, blooming or withering When I signed those papers, I made a vow to the Goddess There is a power in ritual - even though this one took place in a government office, high up on an upper floor of an inner city skyscraper As I signed those four rounded letters, feeling the delight of the curves of the R the O the S and the E I consecrated my life to walking the beauty way . This path of love is sublime And it also unearths all that is in love’s way The rose is as fierce as she is sweet Queen of the flowers Your beauty intoxicates me Your wisdom inspires me Your medicine heals me I bow so deeply, in reverent gratitude for your teachings and your immense, awe-inspiring love . @caitlindenisephotography

01.01.2022 The womb work I do is not for everyone. The ones who are called, come. (Many shy away, too ) The calling tends to arise as a deep and primal cry for the fullness and fury of her power to be uncaged. ...Continue reading
01.01.2022 When a woman reclaims her body as her own, As the holy vessel of her soul .... She no longer gives her body away, or denies herself of her desires Nor does she require excess or lavishness to feel good She intimately knows the secret pathways That lead her home She knows the innocence of her eros She tends to her inner garden with devotion, in awe of the wonders within her She inhabits her skin and oozes succulence - because she has cherished the streaming currents of life force within her; The feminine pulse is throbbing and she has merged with it. . It is literally at your fingertips, available no matter how many times you’ve turned away A deeper remembrance awaits If we slow down enough to feel If we have the courage to reveal the truth of our experience Without diminishing or embellishing Via the ordinary we can access the sublime. When we are attentive & give ourselves the time In (which begins in 2 days!) I will point you to the gateways that take you through & in to the garden of Eden inside of you. When I led this journey last year, it was REVELATORY for the women involved. One woman described her experience as : knowing what she didn’t know she knew, ... which points to how natural yet hidden this knowledge can be The practices I share are intended to wake up from within us the deeper truths that our feminine soul is longing to remember. This is feminine gnosis - direct knowing through our immediate experience, via the body. Across 5 weekly temple gatherings (online), we have the opportunity to dive deep & rise strong, without sacrificing our softness Are you ready to receive deeply? Join me & an intimate circle of sisters in the temple, from wherever you are. We begin on the new moon - 13th Jan at 7pm AEST. Bookings > https://bit.ly/3aNAn1w

Let go, and go beneath Deeper Quit imposing an agenda On she who has been imposed upon For so long Slow down enough to actually hear her murmur To feel the rumble of the primal power we have ignored for too long Give voice to her roar Cry her tears Feel the heat of her fiery passion surging through your loins Make yourself available To be moved by the wisdom From the deepest of deep Surrender, in sacred service to SHE Bow so deep That she brings you to your knees And from that humbled place, In reverence: Rise up Art: @luizaguedes.ilustra
01.01.2022 One of the gifts I've received from my devotional embodiment practices is the capacity to trust the way life wants to express through me, and to let myself be moved. This is actually the premise of one of the foundational Shakti Yoga pratices, which I’m sharing about in this video which is part of my upcoming 12-week online immersion. This is a skill that is both mystical AND oh so practical as an earthly incarnate (that’s you and me, baby). ... Being grounded in our body and present to the wisdom from within as it speaks through sensation is a wondrous superpower to possess. And it is widely lacking in a world that is constantly pulling ourselves outside of ourselves. The great news is, it is within our power to rein the energy back in and listen to our own truth and guiding compass. The more we hone our vessel (aka the body) and fine-tune our sense of the subtle, the more clearly this wisdom is perceived. Trust and surrender are then the magic keys to fully allow this movement from within- which has a totally different quality from making things happen (sound familiar?). This is where it becomes a practice of devotion to the Mystery. The creative force - shakti - is an intelligence beyond the mind’s understanding, and the more I stay loyal to her and engage in practices where I turn toward her, the more effortlessly my life unfolds. When inspiration comes, I've learnt to trust it. So when a got a nudge from the Goddess with only 2 days notice to offer a free full moon circle online, I knew it was important to make this available - even though I’m crazy premenstrual and normally lay low at this time of the month! (Looking like it’s going to a be a red moon for me) So far 44 women have signed up, and if you see this post in time (algorithms can be strange sometimes!), then you are welcome to join us too - check it out: {FREE EVENT} Honey of Bliss: Shakti Yoga full moon meditation The circle is from 7.30pm AEST and registrations close 1 hour before - sign up here: https://bit.ly/347ysjg By the way - if you are called to the Shakti Yoga immersion, don’t delay - we start on Saturday!!
