Letter from Chameli

Dearest friends

Feminine Spiritual Practice is the practice of Embodiment. It is to cultivate the capacity to stay present and open through life's ups and downs, to share Presence and love through the body, through relating and through creating a more conscious world. Even though it is wonderful to retreat into the silence of being, most of us live lives with family and work and long for ways to live present also in the midst of the challenges this life brings us.

Last week our dear Temple Sister Susan died. We who knew her can harvest the fruit of our practice; Breathing into the pain in the heart, breathing into the love in the heart- staying present with it all. Not as a “ solution”, not as a way to “cope”. No, our practice is a way to live, fully. To bow down to the raw wonder of existence. Now. And now again.

Safe journey Susan

 Heart wide open

Yours Chameli

A Drop of Wisdom

All these words are simply a facade.

What I really would like to do

Is to chain your body to mine,

then sing for days and days and days

From Come Closer-Spiritual Awakening For The feminine heart

An Oasis for Feelings

You can do this practice by yourself or with other women. It invites you to enjoy the freedom to experience a completely free and irrational flow of feelings.
On a tape or a CD put together a mix of music that includes soft music, sensual music, energetic, longing-evoking music, oriental music, and so on. Try to create a mix that reflects a full spectrum of energies but that ends with soft music. You need a space to move freely and preferably to make sounds. Put on the music, and give yourself at least thirty minutes to connect with your body, to breath and to shake, and to fully feel and express whatever feelings arise. To use sounds freely is one of the most powerful ways of connecting with your body and with your feelings. If you feel sensations in your arms, let them express these sensations in movements, and if any sounds come, let them be expressed.
When you reach the soft ending music, use some minutes to just notice how it feels to let all this flow through you. Feel your body, feet on the ground.
The less we resist the chaotic world of feeling, the less threatening it will be. By welcoming it, most women will find it highly enjoyable and juicy. Connected with our own presence, we have infinite space for whatever feelings need to pass through.

The Goddess of the Month

Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music and all the creative arts. Saraswati is the repository of Brahma's creative intelligence. Saraswati is also called Vak Devi, the goddess of speech.

Dressed in white, Saraswati holds a mala and a palmleaf scroll, indicating knowledge. Saraswati usually rides a swan and sometimes a peacock, while playing music on a veena.
