Eckhart Tolle on Menstruation

“Through sustained attention and thus acceptance, there comes transmutation. The pain-body becomes transformed into radiant consciousness, just as a piece of wood, when placed in or near a fire, itself is transformed into fire. 

Menstruation will then become not only a joyful and fulfilling expression of your womanhood but also a sacred time of transmutation, when you give birth to new consciousness. Your true nature then shines forth, both in its female aspect as the Goddess and in its transcendental aspect as the divine Being that you are beyond male and female duality.”

- Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

“Do not pursue anything that does not sit within you with a burning passion. If anything is to be done in life, it must be something that fills you up with the brightest of all lights, the purest of all energies, and the deepest of all gratitudes.”

“I TOOK CARE OF MYSELF and it wasn’t beautiful. I took care of myself and looked at the overdue bills in the face, even though it hurt. I took care of myself and cried ugly through the therapy session; made another appointment for next week. I put in the work and wrote all the bad memories in detail. I apologized to all the friends I didn’t have the energy to talk to. I finally cut off all my dead ends and bought produce; slimly avoided sustaining myself on barbecue chips and poetry. I recycled. I set an alarm for 8 hours of sleep and did not sleep more or less. I took care of myself and it wasn’t bubble baths. It wasn’t lotion at Bath and Bodyworks and three-cheese pizza. It was uncomfortable. It wasn’t beautiful, but I am, and it didn’t have to be beautiful to be worth it.”

open and raw communication with your partner may be uncomfortable and feel so ugly and vulnerable but it solves soo many problems in the end

I’d like to take a moment to remind you that you are extremely important! More than words can even express! Everything that you are and who you will be is an absolute blessing to this earth.

6 Steps in Learning to Love Yourself

1. See the good in your past. There will always be things that we wish had never happened; there will always be bad memories and things that we regret. But they are part of who you are – so accept that they have happened and celebrate the person they’ve allowed you to become.

2. Invest time in the things that bring you happiness. It’s important to identify the things that you enjoy, and that make you come alive, and are all a part of “you”. Spending time on those things will help to raise your self-esteem, as you’re valuing yourself when you pursue happiness.

3. Forgive yourself for your mistakes. We all make mistakes - and when we think of them we cringe. But that doesn’t make you any worse than other people. Just try and learn what you can, and then move on with your life.

4. Stop criticising yourself. So often we’re really our own worst enemy. We look for our flaws, and we put ourselves down – instead of being understanding of our own limitations. It’s time to change that behaviour – so start loving yourself.

5. Listen to your instincts and intuitions. If you want to love yourself, you must listen to yourself. Pay attention to those instincts and your instant gut reaction – and trust that you are right when you hear that inner voice.

6. Appreciate your life. Of course there are things that you wish that you could change. But some things are good, and are worth appreciating. So, focus on, appreciate, and make lots of your strengths.

My heart opens to the magic of transformation. Embracing change in joy and pain, I set my intentions to the space. I trust in this journey, I feel the vibration of my chest. We grow together because we are connected beyond and within. I believe in this light that emanates from your heart which is the same that emanates from mine. May we not be separated by our filters, but united by our songs.

Gratitude blooms from within because I am able to share the medicine that everyday heals my soul, gratitude because we can feel, live, awaken and grow together, because like mirrors we reflect each other helping to remove the veils of our mind and revealing that which makes us one; the light.

Thank you @anandasamsaarayoga for opening your magical space for the Ashtanga Practices. 🙏🏽💕 It was a beautiful first practice today with the light of the sunrise. Looking forward to keep growing together.

Who ever forgot to include the “off” switch on my brain was clearly not made aware of my wildly rampaging human emotions.

“Will you allow me to undo you slow, and taste every bit of you on the tip of my tongue, like fresh nectar of spring? Will you allow the touch of my hands to burn into your skin, to draw lines of ecstacy? Will you give me not only your smile, but your whispers and moans of euphoria?”
