The Goddess Temple of Orange County
Posted by: | CommentsTwo weeks ago, I entered the doorway of 
the beautiful Goddess Temple of Orange County, California. I heard about the temple the week before from a lovely woman, Vajra Ma, sitting next to me on the last day at the Woman of Wisdom Conference in Seattle.
She had also presented at the conference and as we discussed our love of dance and where we were traveling to next we discovered we would both be in Southern California. She told me about the Goddess Temple and her presentation about the Natural Spiritual Authority of Woman. I was thrilled when I realized I could be there.

Feeding the Soul of the Feminine
Posted by: | Comments
At four o’clock this morning I woke up still wrestling with an inner question I have been working on for months. I had spent the afternoon and evening preparing a new video blog on the dancing priestess process and was just too tired to send it out at 9:30 when it was complete.
There was one line in the blog that as I tossed and turned kept surfacing in my mind…Dance is a primary form of worship of the Goddess. I realized as twilight dawned that a part of me, even after 11 years of being a high priestess and facilitating over 30 priest/ess circles, was still afraid of publicly making such a statement.
At each new level of development as I have made my way through the years of being a priestess I have had to clear old fears and internal patterns. Cellular memory runs deep. I have found the years of persecution as patriarchy took over the Goddess temples and imprint of the burning times were layered in my consciousness. And they have gotten released and healed one layer at a time.

Dancing Practical Priestess

“We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars…the stars form a circle, and in the center we dance.” Rumi, 13th century
Your inner priestess forms the part of your consciousness that directly connects you with the Divine. When activated and practically applied to any area of life or creative pursuit, the priestess within helps you bring Spirit into the physical world. The priestess archetype deepens your ability to fully run the energy of the Divine through the temple of your body and dance in step to the sacred rhythms of nature.

Dancing Your Body Temple
Posted by: | Comments
A temple is a structure reserved for spiritual activities; such as prayer and the worship of a divinity. Often seen as the dwelling place of the Divine, a temple provides sacred containment for reverence, devotion, and connecting one’s soul to Spirit.
The body is often referred to as a holy vessel or a temple. Understanding and aligning with Spirit within your body temple can provide you with a clear and direct inner path to the Divine. Hidden among the layers of skin, muscle, blood, and bone resides the creational glue of the universe.
Comprised of the fundamental forces – Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit – your body provides you with a portal to the core essence of creation. The rich matter that make up your cells flow in harmony with the universe when you honor the forces of the Divine within and dance in time to the rhythmic pulse of cosmos.
Celestial Timing Tango
Posted by: | Comments
Working with the rhythmic timings of nature is like listening to the music when you dance. There is a certain musical point when it is most effective to begin the movement or step on to the dance floor – the count of one. The same holds true for the creational dance of your life. Certain points make the best time to take powerful and intentional steps into the flow of creation.
Both the sun and the moon have great points for stepping in. The sun makes points in a solar yearly cycle while the lunar cycle creates a conscious entrance point each month on the new moon. The problem is most of us have forgotten to listen to the celestial music Mother Nature plays so that we can dance in harmony with her rhythms.
If you forgot to listen to the music during the tango you would never be effective or be filled with the feeling of grace. There is something magical that happens when you step in time to the music and coordinate your steps with grace and harmony. When you are in rhythm, an amazing feeling begins to flow inside which uplifts, centers, balances, and energizes you.
Getting Your Ship to Come in Through Rocky Waters
Posted by: | Comments
Navigating your internal water when you are consciously creating your life isn’t always easy. As you expand past your inner comfort zone to maneuver and guide your creations to their desired destinations, sometimes your emotional water is rough.
This can be especially challenging during collective turbulent times of change. When the winds of fear are blowing for the masses it can churn up your emotional water and make it tough to get through. You might even decide you can’t get there at all when the winds of uncertainty are intensely whipping and the water’s really choppy.
However, it is during these times that you most need to keep your focus on effectively creating your life. We just entered a new decade; one where there is a looming date of impending change ~ 2012. While it might all blow over like Y2K, you still need to effectively direct and create your life. Making choices of where you want to be at the end of the next decade.
You need to chart your own course and focus on your destination instead of allowing yourself to toss around undirected in the collective sea of uncertainty. In order to move through these potentially rocky waters you need a plan. You need to increase your ability to listen to the centering guidance found in nature and learn to navigate your ship by the direction of sun, moon, and stars.
Creational Seed Points
Posted by: | Comments
Today is the Sagittarius new moon, and this year, the new moon & Winter Solstice fall within a week of each other. Both are primary points for seeding creations. The new moon creates the creational seed point for the lunar cycle and Winter Solstice brings the creational seed point for the solar cycle. Any time you spend during the window of these two points crafting your creational focus for 2010 will pay off.
This is an important time to be conscious about your creations! Use your creation journal, create a dream board, plan, prepare, and set your intentions for the upcoming growing cycle. Create the vision for where you want to be a year from now.
Remember sometimes your creations take longer to come into form than you think they will initially. They sometimes need more gestational time than you realized or you as part of the creational equation need to learn new skills to bring them into form.
However, if you do your part, maintain your focus, and work with the elemental forces to clear and align your energy, your creations will come into form.
The more your creations are measurable the clearer your intention and the more effectively the forces of creation can align with them. What exactly is a measurable intention?
