No, we are not a Sex Cult

No, we are not a Sex Cult

I observe that in our society at large it seems okay to paint women as co-dependent victims. It is an accepted narrative that many do not see as disempowering.

The underlying assumption here is that the woman had no choice but to accept the abuse because she is too "weak" or too "co-dependent" to choose something else. But what are we teaching our sisters and daughters if this is our primary storyline?

This is exactly the bias that Mark Wielding has chosen to build on in his recent article about the school I am a teacher at. He created a story that is built on the premise that the women training at the school are essentially dummies who blindly follow the “bad” men who are leading the school. He uses no facts to actually prove that the men have done something wrong but instead insinuates, using hearsay to fabricate a story that is entirely incorrect and only works if you buy into the narrative that women are disempowered and easily manipulated.

Empower Thyself, Initiation and the beginning of knowing

Empower Thyself, Initiation and the beginning of knowing

With initiation, we are able to step into the power of our divine selves and discern between what is in the highest good of self and take ownership of what is ours in order to process and progress.

When we truly understand ourselves, we can clearly see what is ours to transcend and what is not ours to take on. We are able to navigate life with love and with healthy boundaries.

The path of the initiate is one that is of constant growth and expansion.

As women we are a vessel for life..

As women we are a vessel for life..

As women we are the vessels for life. We literally birth life onto the planet and whether we are mothers to children or not we are all mothers in the sense of the holder and bringer and protector of light.

It is also us who hold in our wombs and raise the men on this planet and our energy, the energy we hold as women has a direct impact on how men are towards us.

In all the talk of female liberation and equality we at times forgot to consider what energy we send out as women to our men. And we need to flow the light and love of the goddess to our men as much as to our children and sisters. The whole world is in uproar and the patient, forgiving and loving energy of the goddess who knows her worth and her boundaries is so needed right now. And equally so is the power and authority of the goddess who knows her worth and can wield her sword if needed. READ MORE

Cult or Culture..?

Cult or Culture..?

Cult, which shares an origin with culture and cultivate, comes from the Latin cultus, a noun with meanings ranging from "tilling, cultivation" to "training or education" to "adoration (Merriam-Webster)

Recently an article was published about the school I train with and am a teacher at – The Modern Mystery School. The article contains a lot of made-up facts and half-truths that are incoherent and clearly built up for drama effect and yes obviously it uses the word “cult”.

This is not surprising given the online magazine in questions makes money from clicks on their articles. Their articles are interjected with online adverts so the more people click on a sensational statement the more money they make. Interestingly they accuse the school of offering its teachings in exchange for money.

Spiritual Senses Explained: Etheric Energy

Spiritual Senses Explained: Etheric Energy

We are all composed of many complex energy bodies, systems and structures. One such system is the etheric body.

Etheric energy is based on Three Wills: the Will of God, the Will of the Universe/Nature and the Will of Humans.

For us to be in perfect balance and to progress on our path, all three of these energies must flow in harmony - in the clockwise direction.

As human beings, however, our Human Will tends to flow anti-clockwise. In other words, contrary to the Will of God and the Will of the Universe / Nature.

Ceremonial Healing: Rebalancing with LIGHT, LOVE and STRENGTH ♥★♥

Ceremonial Healing: Rebalancing with LIGHT, LOVE and STRENGTH ♥★♥

At the core of your being is the true essence of who YOU are
Light, power, strength, love, joy, playfulness… and so much beauty.

Between that and what you are experiencing right now is what? Layers of accumulated, emotions, beliefs, identities, patterns.

And because everything is vibration these patterns, emotions and thoughts all are.. vibration!

So where are they located?
In our bodies? In our mind?

The ancient science of metaphysics goes further than that and describes a number of energy bodies that are recipients or containers for vibration.


Embracing Spring

Embracing Spring

Spring is the season where life bursts forth. After the hibernation of the dark colder months, the seeds that have been germinating, ideas that have been nurtured now have their time to emerge into the Light.

Ostara or the Spring Equinox is the point of perfect balance between light and dark. Night and day are of equal length and there is perfect equilibrium. It is a time where masculine and feminine energies are in harmony and where there in outer and inner parity.

The Magician Within…

The Magician Within…

In a world that has seemingly rejected the ancient ways, we have sometimes forgotten our access to the energy of the Magician.

A reliance on technology and modern thought has meant that we are out of practice in the creation of our own reality. How often have we stopped to realise that we have the power to create something out of nothing every day?

The archetype of the Magician teaches us about creation and our capacity to bring into being what was never there before. It allows us to reclaim our birthright as co-creators of the universe.

Birthing the Warrior

by Grace Hui

Very often, when one thinks of spirituality and spiritual growth, the mind veers towards gentleness, healing, forgiveness and softness. While all these qualities are important, they do not present the full picture of expansion. In our bid to progress on our path, we sometimes forget to acknowledge that duality is very much a part of who we are holistically.

In the lineage of King Solomon, all warriors are trained as healers and vice versa - showing that both aspects are equally crucial and one cannot exist without the other.

Discernment

Discernment

by Grace Hui

Do you ever wonder what your soul’s purpose is? If you are one that is retrospective, chances are, you would. However, for us not to be misled by our feelings, we need to develop discernment.

This is not to say that feelings have no value. Of course, they do. Very often, feelings give us an indication of our well-being. For example, feelings of anger could mean that a boundary has been breached while sadness could indicate that you are yearning for something you cannot have or conversely, that you have lost something.

The biology of balance: about the nervous system and how to care for it..

The biology of balance: about the nervous system and how to care for it..

by Tanmaya George

You may have used or heard terms such as "its my nerves" or "he is getting on my nerves". But what do we mean by it..?

Our nerves transmit information. The part of our nervous system called the autonomic nervous system ensures the communication between the brain and the rest of the body. It controls involuntary body functions such as breathing, blood pressure, heartbeat and the dilation or constriction of blood vessels.

Transcending

Transcending

By Grace Hui

I always thought that embarking on the spiritual path would make me happier, that somehow I would suddenly become a person that was always able to avoid or solve problems. I don’t know what gave me that idea but nevertheless it was subconsciously there. It therefore came as a rude shock that even as I meditated, journalled and did rituals, I was still fundamentally the same person who had triggers and anxieties.

Beyond The Law of Attraction

Beyond The Law of Attraction

by Tanmaya George

There is more to this world than meets the eye…

Did know that part of our brain’s job is to filter out the vast majority of information we are exposed to on a daily basis, so we can function properly? That’s right! In reality, we perceive very little of what is actually going on around us. In other words, there is an intangible reality that operates at all times, without us even being aware of its existence. Yet, that intangible reality has very tangible effects on our lives.

Take your thoughts for example, can you see them? No.

Do they exist? Yes.

Do they affect your reality? Very much so.

How to transform the fear of judgement

How to transform the fear of judgement

I used to spend a lot of time worrying about what others thought of me. Or acting, saying and wearing things that I thought would make people like me. Now most of the time I have fun, I can still hear people’s reactions to me but I don’t mind if someone doesn’t like me, or something I do. It’s ok and doesn’t scare me anymore

And I find it interesting how universal this fear is. A tremendous amount of energy as a society is spent on fitting in and avoiding judgement from others.

What is empowerment?

What is empowerment?

So often we are not aware of how we are giving our power away to unconscious influences of the past or the belief that our difficulties are caused by our environment. Empowerment is when we become the driving force of our life, when we reconnect with our innate power to move and shift out of difficult situations and through emotional states. Empowerment is about reconnecting with our divine nature and our ability to create.
