Oh, the presence...does it grow and grow and grow??? This ecstasy, sometimes feels like it's almost unbearable, piercing this heart open, widening with its warmth, filling the mind with vast space... There is a new peace now, ever deeper, so profoundly full of gratitude, as the heart melts open and yearns and aches, and also widens in ecstasy, all at the same time.

I feel such yearning, and deep passionate desire, but there is no name, no goal, no thoughts. Only deep passionate yearning. Then the next moment, I am swimming in a sea, like a whirlpool going ever deeper beyond thought and all desire. It is all so intense now, to sit and meditate feels too stark. And so i move. I need to move to express this river this ocean that floods my being.

I know what i want now. To be a buddha. And like an arrow, my heart flies with no goal through all space. The weights of desire pull on this freedom, and so I see them all, and embrace them with compassion and sometimes the tears of the great ocean mother.

I embrace all the suffering that this being still holds, knowing all will dissolve into space, or not...And every moment, every return to the breath, sends the blessings to all creation, to all my children everywhere, who live in every heart. There is no where to go. There is so much to do in the unfolding of this life, and nothing that needs to be done.

Oh, to let it all be an expression of the heart! In this dance, to see with eyes of love, to move with a body of love, to feel with the heart, to hear with ears of compassion, to speak in ecstasy like a river of love from the divine.

To live like this, each moment a prayer, each moment an unfolding, each moment an offering, every moment an unbearable yearning for the divine or a joyous, or a peaceful expression of the divine. Every moment, a new unfolding of miracles. Oh, to live in this state of eternal grace, where there is only the longing for, and the living, in love.

A little taste from “ The temple of feminine flow-Feminine Spiritual Practices and Guidelines For Women’s groups”
by Chameli G Ardagh and Helena Montelius

Give what you are longing for!

The feminine heart is by nature a longing heart. In the depth of our practice some (probably all!) of us will come in contact with some deep longings, and it is easy at this point to project onto the group that it is not “giving me what I need”. The “other” women are not honest enough, not wild enough, not deep enough, to nice etc.
Instead of going the traditional route of trying to change the others with the inevitable result of frustration and disappointment, the invitation in temple is to give what you are longing for. In the very depth of our longing we will never be truly satisfied unless we find a way to honor and share our creativity. Even though we think that we lack this and that, this feeling is often an expression of a deeper longing: the longing to shine as who we truly are. When a woman finds a channel to give, not as a way to eventually get, but as a genuine expression of her deeper heart, her frustration and demands evaporate magically. She feels fulfilled because she is connected to and shares from the very source of that which she thinks she lacks. The longing to “give our self completely” To go “deeper” is a longing with no end, it is infinite and when celebrated and met in an open way it can be of the greatest gift.
So take a risk: if you long for more honesty, BE honest. If you long for more power BE powerful. Remember you are all co-creator of the circle.
