Hello dear Friends, I am enjoying to be home for while now, recharging before the new year arrives full of new adventures. My beloved teacher ShantiMayi was visiting us last weekend and my heart is still sore with love and sadness, my gratitude for her presence is beyond anything I could ever express with words… Endless piles of leaves outside, Candles flickering in the wind I pray that the darkness is gentle with you… With Blessings Chameli |

An article by Rita Marie Robinson, M.A. For the first time in thousands of years, women spiritual teachers are emerging. And their perspective is unique. Yes, on an absolute level, there is no real difference between men and women. But on a relative level, there is indeed a difference between the feminine and the masculine expression. And ”thank God,” was the way Pamela Wilson put it. “I am all for sameness, but the expression of uniqueness is so delicious!” Pamela Wilson is not what you imagine a spiritual teacher to look like. When I met her three years ago, it was a delight and a surprise. In my many years of spiritual seeking and studying, I had never met a self-realized woman face-to-face. What was most extraordinary about the meeting is that she was so ordinary. Pamela is 50-something-years-old, been in a few relationships, has a normal name. She wears jeans, likes to hike, and loves her dog. It was Pamela who introduced me to the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and Advaita, the ancient Hindu philosophy of nonduality. But it wasn’t the past traditions that spoke most deeply to me. It was the here-and-now reality she offered: you are that which you seek. When I first heard that phrase, something in me stopped, sighed, and relaxed. Sometimes referred to as the direct path of awakening, this term encompasses a wide range of teachings and teachers. I soon discovered that there are many women like Pamela—women who have had an awakening, and now share their wisdom as teachers, but continue to live ordinary lives. Some are well-known, many are “under the radar.” My natural curiosity about the women who embody the direct path resulted in my own journey, talking to women teachers who were self-realized and writing a book about their insights. Some of the teachers have roots in the Advaita tradition; some are students of Adyashanti (a former Zen practitioner and now an articulate spokesman for the direct path); others have no specific tradition or teacher. Though I use the word teacher for the sake of convenience, the women I interviewed do not refer to themselves as such. The word implies that they know something we don’t. Instead, they call themselves “friends” as a way to further dispel the illusion of separation. Read the whole article Rita Marie Robinson, M.A. is the author of Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Wisdom: The Feminine face of Awakening. She is a writer and a psychotherapist and lives an ordinary life in the mountains of Colorado. She can be reached at rita@extraordinarywisdom.net |

Longing Oh, my beloved Come lie down beside me Enfold me in your arms Let me lay my head on your chest And sleep in your Blessed Presence
In the arms of the beloved Yesterday I slept In the arms of the Beloved I will dance today
Rain Raining in the night Water returning to earth Ending the thirsting
