The beautiful Sistars of Light and her words:

18/02/2020

'Women al over the world are coming out fo hiding..'

Women all over the world are coming out of hiding.
Everywhere I turn women are interested in starting businesses, writing books, becoming coaches, following their dreams.

It's not easy to step out of comfort zones and do something new.

More often than not we don't know how to start or how to keep the momentum going.

Lots of times our old disempowered patterns come quickly to the surface to stop us.

Eventually we might even give up due to the lack of courage or clarity in how to move forward.

I can't tell you how often I have stopped dead in my tracks and postponed a dream. It's not easy to go it alone.

For this reason I have created an online course to bring women together and teach them a highly empowered way of moving forward with their dreams. The course is called Winter of Work: Empowering Women to Live Their Dreams. It all starts this Sunday.

Details can be found in this link:
http://www.tinymessages.com/store/p17/2017_Winter_of_Work%3A_Empowering_Women_to_Live_Their_Dreams.html

I would be thrilled if you checked it out. One more woman living her dream means we are one step closer to a peaceful and loving world.

And if this resonates with you but you have questions, PM me, and let's get on the phone and chat.

I'm here to support your own self-empowerment.

Let's make this happen.

All Heart,

Meg

Beautiful Meg and her offering ❤️

Why Care for the self?
The Essence of the Summer Season of SoulWork is CARE. This may sound easy on the surface, but what I am referring to here is Deep Care for the Whole of You; becoming your own best care-giver by tending to and accepting ALL aspects of you: physical, emotional, mental, & spiritual.

We "Care," by turning the mirror TOWARDS ourselves with acceptance and love.

We Care, by ultimately merging with all aspects of ourselves - embracing even the aspects of ourselves that we habitually turn away from.

Caring is a prerequisite to the deeper inner work we do in the Autumn. Many miss out on the effectiveness of the Autumn Work because they have not yet developed a loving and kind relationship with their inner selves. That is why the SoulWork of Summer and the Practices therein are prerequisites for the deeper work that follows.

Tomorrow I begin a 4-part series called The Seasons of SoulWork: Embodying the Truth of Who You Are to do the Work You Came Here to Do.

In this first session I will give an overview of all 4 Seasons, focusing on HOW they are a MAP that can guide you as you begin to walk the Journey of your Soul's Work or refine the Work you are already doing.

We will practice coming closer to an inner aspect that you may find challenging to accept and you will come away with the body-felt experience of self-kindness and deep care.

Our call tomorrow, Saturday, February 8 is from 11-1 EST and will be recorded if you can't make it.

Sign up on the Event Page here on SoulWork For Women.

I love this!

Unworthiness and arrogance can only
allure you into their entangled shadow dance
when you forget who you are.

But just because they have become so familiar,
they manage sometimes to sneak in
without you even noticing it.
And all of a sudden you find yourself
dressed in smelly rags or shiny polyester,
and either way your soul itches badly.

Because you know the sensation of the divine breath on your naked skin, you know the trembling aliveness of living in the land of the unmasked,
where you, along with the thieves and the saints,
for once trust that you are
beautiful.

Unworthiness and arrogance can only
allure you into their entangled shadow dance
when you forget who you are.

The wonderful Dominique shares her reflections about the sisterhood manifesto and her own 'self-created box' of the way she is..
Beauty all the way ❤️ Thank you!

Over the course of my life, I’ve accumulated a long list of things I like and don’t like, eat and don’t eat, wear and don’t wear, do and don’t do.

07/01/2020

Dearest women,

we will gather in temple in 2 weeks time. I long to be with you all again ❤️. December has been a very reflective inwards month for me. Let's come together as the days begin to get longer and we connect again to our divine feminine essences.

much love Nora

Looking forward to sharing women's temple practices with you- 19th January 5pm-7pm.

26/12/2019

Dearest woman,

Wherever you are at, however you are feeling, know that there is a deep thread of women practicing, praying, remembering the divine feminine in us all. You are included in this thread, always. ❤️

These days, feelings may come up.
Maybe give them space, allow for the energy of them to move your body, to expand in your body. As energy flows it transforms.

My heart sends this wishes to yours:

I hope you can pause
I hope you connect to the essence of you
I hope you connect to others with love
I hope you get to re-charge your batteries
I hope you remember who you are
I hope you water the seeds of your Soul's Mission.

With love- (and squinty eyes) on a sunny day.
From where I re-charge and connect best; in nature

Nora

Perhaps you have been told that your longing is needy, that your visions are naive…
your love of beauty is a luxury,
and that the face of the One that you have had
the blessing to glimpse within your very own heart
is but a fairy tale.

You may have been told that you have to make sense,
and be rational, that your stories have to follow
the linear paths to be taken seriously.
And that the whisper of wisdom you hear
from your cat, the sages and the wind in the tree,
is new age woo woo.

Maybe you have been led to believe that your worth
is measured in coins and bills, that you must stay active
no matter what, and the cycles and the rhythms
of the universe that you feel so deeply in your body
should be ignored; there is no time for that.

Perhaps you have been told that your body is wrong,
that you are too old, or too young, not enough, too much.
That your body is a prison,
that spirit is found elsewhere in a faraway place.
And that the fact that you feel everything so deeply
is a problem you must overcome.

You may have been told you must:
have more money, get a promotion, be calmer,
find the soulmate, be enlightened, be more feminine, more “juicy”,
get one more degree, brand yourself, fix yourself, heal yourself,
before you can be truly happy.
Get back on the hamster wheel, sister,
you are (always) not quite there. Yet.

You have been told that this is life,
and this is the way it must be.

You have been told…
yes, what is it you have been told?

You have been told a story.

It is just a story!
It is when you believe it,
negotiate with it,
resist it,
repeat it,
that a story becomes real.
It is you who give it power.

Or not.

Goddess is that shimmering field of pure potential
within you, where every story in the universe lives.
The story your heart knows is possible is here, available.
It is gestating in your sanity, radiating from the flawless mirror of your heart,
spinning from the pure creative power which is your womb.

Look around you, feel into your surroundings, your life.
There are objects, people, schedules, health issues,
annoying bosses, money, schedules, world crises, politicians,
work, practice, partners or no partner…

and then there is the story you tell about it all.

Is the story you are feeding plugging you
deeper into drama and entanglement,
or is it setting you free?

Right now you are creating the story
we will tell our children and their children.

Is this the story you came here to tell?
If you would choose your story,
what would it say?

Softening the tensions and unclenching the contractions in the body is all within the practices of the Women's temple. Deep exhale.

"Softer, Sister,
softer still.

Unclench the pressure and
drink in the medicine of softness,
a warm vastness trickling through you.

Let softness wash through your body;
let it marinate your heart and fill your womb...."

~ Chameli Ardagh

Have patience with yourself ...❤️

'Resting… Receiving…

Drop your awareness down
into your womb area and pelvis.
If you like, put one hand
on this area of your body.
Allow your breath to sink down,
drop down.
Have patience,
no need to push...'

~ Chameli Ardagh

Another amazing Women’s Temple today. Gently dropping into the intimacy of the feminine with embodied practices: respectful touch, dance and movement, meditation and enquiry. In awe of how much beauty gets created in presence and silence.
We follow the practices of Awakening Women Institute.

Commitment is the most powerful teacher I have ever met. My deepest commitment is to find ways to embody the love that I am.

Yogini sadhana—the spiritual practice of women— is not a mental theory for us to memorize or learn. It is an unfolding from deep within you...

One of the Women's Temple practices is hand blessing. An invitation to drop inside, and relax in the being honoured by another woman. These practices help us to connect with the body, away from the mind just as we are in the moment.

The women's circle ❤️

The circle is an archetype, an alive energy which is brought into form by our collective dedication to truth and awakening. Together we create a field of transformation which we all benefit from.

Feel your seat in this circle and know that the circle would not be the same without you. You have a specific medicine needed in this circle. Our field is influenced by you showing up, just as you are.

Although this life is intimately experienced through the personal, it arises out of a much bigger dance. Just as in a garden, we are all growing out of and feeding back into the same soil. We are all contributing to this holy compost blossoming into a magnificent field of unique colors and expressions.

The women’s circle is a portal calling us to enter a deeper and more intimate, direct connection with who we are and what we are made of.

Just a few spaces left for our upcoming Women's Temple this Sunday.
Maybe it's time. To take your seat dear woman. I see you.❤️

To live your life in integrity with what your heart knows is true, takes dedication and commitment; there are strong forces everywhere ready to distract you.

Interestingly the words discipline and disciple come from the same roots. How would it be to view the call for spiritual discipline, not as an internal or external pressure of shoulds, but as a call to become a disciple at the feet of your own heart?

[Personal sharing]

More burning of the old, as I travel through the dephts of Kali's fire. The grief, desolation and pain can reach the most unkown corners of my body. I let her sweep me clean. I let her shatter my already broken heart.
And in the the depths of this uncomfortable expansion I see some glimmers of the new, they are so bright and new, they almost scare me. But when I allow them to shine, through ... I remember ... what I am here to do.

with love Nora

In the Women's temple we follow the practices of Awakening Women and the Sisterhood Manifesto. Every time we sit in circle we are connected with all the women all over the world practicing just like us, like an invisible felt thread.

'That which we are longing for is who we already are ~ this insight is the basis for our spiritual exploration in Women’s Temple. Our practice is not towards a goal of attainment in the future; it is a process of melting, of unraveling the wisdom and beauty already inherent in each woman. There is no more powerful place to do that than in a circle of conscious women'.

- Chameli Ardagh

05/10/2019

In temple we welcome our deeply feeling nature and out intuitive knowing. As we take our seat we begin to breathe and let go of the constraints of speaking and analysing and we dive deeper into our felt nature. These spiritual embodied practices are the portal to ourselves, a way of restoring and nurturing our essence, sometimes hidden under many layers... and as we begin to gently peel them we find that which we have been longing for.

We practice in sacred circle once a month on a Sunday 5-7pm. All women over 18 can join.
If this is calling you you are invited to book your seat. Places are limited.

Next temple is Sunday 20th October.
