“First love your body, then love your mind, and then love your soul, and then love your totality, then love your reality. These five things, you must do.” - Yogi Bhajan It’s amazing to me that he said first love your body. This has been the biggest journey for me as a woman. Ever since I was a young girl, a dancer and performer, I wanted to look like what I saw in the world looked like happiness. An empty illusion. As I get older, my body changes and as I nurture a young in mind Named Sahej I realize that I can love my body whatever size, shape it is. No matter what. It’s a new falling in love. Let us begin there woman. The first step to awakening our Shakti is in right relationship With our body. No matter what you eat, no matter what shape you are, no matter where your health is that. Let us begin there. Love all of you 💚
It’s all about the vertical connection. With your Breath, The Elements and the Unseen. Stop focusing on the horizontal illusion.

As well as voting let us PRAY. 3 powerful quotes from Yogi Bhajan “Each good wish, each prayer, is the power to extend happiness. That is the power of the prayer. There is no power nor worship in this Universe greater than prayer: there is no love other than the prayer.  It is the prayer: it is the worship: it is the devotion. Whosoever knows the art and power of worship will himself become God” “Living in gratitude is a prayer. Actually, prayer is gratitude.” “Prayer is the essence, prayer is the projection, prayer is the destiny and prayer is the life. All power comes from prayer, not from you.” With my beautiful sisters @angelalindvall and @janabaiowens

It was my brother Jerome’s one year anniversary yesterday. He chose to cross over. I know so many of you are dealing with close ones choosing to leave this plane. With three direct generations of suicide in my family, I have come to understand this in a new framework. So I wanted to offer this letter to you. I want to be brave and speak more publicly about changing the view on suicide....more about that later. Here is a letter I wrote to my family yesterday: I am feeling all of you. You are in my heart. In my tears and smiles… I am in the same place where the news came to me last year. I know your hearts may still be aching. This is a love letter, from my heart to your heart. No response needed….unless you want to. What I want to share with you is this: It was a liberation moment for our dear Jeje. He completed his journey, his contract with us. He gave us all deep life lessons we get a chance to work through in this lifetime. An amazing opportunity for change, growth and to seek what is beyond our eyes. No guilt, no shame, only looking to learn and grow Here and now. I believe An opportunity has been offered to move forward with love, an open hand and an open heart. Willing to grow together , to be more vulnerable, to share with one another. Our struggles, our victories. Isn’t that the beauty of life after all? Here is An attempt of trying to explain the unexplainable….this is what I have come to: Because of the gift of meditation, I can hear his Soul. I can communicated with him. I had always wished that kind of connection since I was young with Boubou, my birth mother but I never got there for some reason. I felt her and my grandmother and great grandmother in other ways. But not the way I can now communicate now with my brother. With Jeje, as soon as I go within, meditate a little or sing, I can be right there with him… It’s strange to me given that we had grown far apart during his last years on Earth. He has helped me tremendously in accelerating my own healing journey over the last year. What I’ve come to grow into and understand is that certain souls are more needed on the other side to help us....continued on my FB page as there is no space.
Why? Because women need each other. Because we need to awaken into our Shakti. Because we are the ones who are responsible for bringing balance back to the planet. Because we cannot rely on our sexiness, our good looks, our manipulative tactics. Only on our radiance, caliber, grace and grit. This is why we train ourself into this Aquarian Consciousness. It’s a new age, a new dawn, where courage, neutrality and intuition are the guiding forces. Apply if you are called. Link in bio 🕉🌈🌏
After a long day trickle treating with my daughter around Ojai with friends, I came home and was called to sit at my altar. With no plans, I ended up singing songs to my ancestors for a good hour. Many say Halloween is the most powerful night of the year. Where the veil is the thinnest between the two worlds. There’s song called “Ancestors” which came to me recently and I played that for them. It seems I most easily connect with the other world through song and sound. Then I begun to play some new chords that presented themselves to me. Lyrics creeped on in…. “I’m coming home, I’ve walked a million miles in these shoes, worn all the masks, forgiven a thousand times over and I’m ready to come on home.” It makes me think of the 13 years I’ve dedicated of my life to a spiritual way of life. Searching for a way to soothe this aching heart and grow more in love with myself, and whoever and whatever is in front of me. We may think that when we get on the spiritual path we are supposed to live in eternal bliss, and when we are not there something is wrong with us. We may believe this new online course, this shaman or this ceremony will do it for me…get me there…. Oh no wait! If I go to India, that will do it! What if walking on the path of befriending our Soul was actually just coming home. Coming home to your self. dropping the mask, telling the truth and finding the cracks to let the light of love creep into your heart. Every little step we take on the path is coming home to one self. But to think that one thing is going to do it IS the illusion. We find joy, mindfulness and fulfillment in the mundane. It truly is a journey, the journey of many steps to oneself. No where to get to. Just here now. If you feel the call for another journey that may guide you to take another little closer to your own heart, here are two offerings. Awakening Shakti just begun and you can still get in for a few days and get all the materials. In Love & Gratitude, Sukhdev
There is always magic in the world. When you get lost in your own mental games, remember how the indigenous people of all lands used to pray. Some of us still pray that way. On this day where the veil is so thin between here and there, chant Akaal or a native song. Your ancestors will come to help you. They are always here for you, just waiting for your call, it’s up to you to open the door. This a Shakti School group praying in that way....remembering 🌺 Awakening Shakti week one has begun and you can still get in before week 2. 🙏🏽💜
Take time to chant, meditate and sit with your ancestors tonight. Whatever your belief is, know that the other world is only a veil away and that your ancestors are here to assist you. All Hallow's Eve, Hallow E'en, Halloween, Day of the Dead, Samhain. By whatever name it has been called, this special night preceding All Hallows day has been considered for centuries as one of the most magical nights of the year. A night of power, when the veil that separates our world from the Otherworld is at its thinnest. As ubiquitous as Halloween celebrations are throughout the world, few of us know that the true origin of Halloween is a ceremony of honoring our ancestors and the day of the dead. A time when the veils between the worlds were thinner and so many could "see" the other side of life. A time in the year when the spiritual and material worlds touched for a moment and a greater potential exists for magical creation. Ancient Rites In ancient times, this day was a special and honored day of the year. In the Celtic calendar, it was one of the most important days of the year, representing a midpoint in the year, Samhain, or "summer's end". Occurring opposite the great Spring Festival of May Day, or Beltain, this day represented the turning point of the year, the eve of the new year which begins with the onset of the dark phase of the year. And while celebrated by the Celts, the origin of this day has connections to other cultures as well, such as Egypt, and in Mexico as Dia de la Muertos or the day of the dead. The Celts believed that the normal laws of space and time were held in abeyance during this time, allowing a special window where the spirit world could intermingle with the living. It was a night when the dead could cross the veils and return to the land of the living to celebrate with their family or clan. As such, the great burial mounds of Ireland were lit up with torches lining the walls, so the spirits of the dead could find their way. (Thoughtco.com)
Costa Rica here I come! A little personal moment here please...ten years ago when Tommy and Kia packed us in their suitcase to play music at their first retreat in CR, I fell in love. Something about the soil, the land, the ocean, the people. It got me. I experience great stillness and creativity there. I feel very fortunate to have created a life where I can go there for a month with my family and create and rejuvenate. As well as be part of the awesome @recovery2point0 Retreat during thanksgiving which is really what makes it possible for us to be there! Giving thanks for community @tommyrosen And @kiamilleryoga We adore you two! Dream big. What do you want? You can do it. Align with your soul’s destiny. Awaken your shakti and say YES. Everyday 💜
