The great cycles of time turn, and a revolution is emerging.

We are coming back to our true nature– that which is unadulterated and distorted by the manufactured synthetics ever-present in everything we consume and harbor in our cells from the time of birth until death; from the very social conditioning and disconnection sprung from long-running ideologies that seek to ‘other’, separate, exploit and extract, that damage the potential of a more unified, harmonious life on earth.

We are waking up.

And, especially through the physiologies of approximately half of the human population, something ancient is arising to be seen and tended.

We are reviving Shakti– the power of the Divine Feminine.

Actually, Shakti is available to all beings, regardless of body parts; and, it is particularly able to manifest through female physiology. But in the lineages of our more recent era, our own Shakti has been conditioned to be disrespected and desecrated, in all possible ways. In contrast, Shakti has been especially visible in the sturdy, powerful and compassionate nature of matrilineal communities through time, which have always regarded the synergy of the Divine feminine and masculine with respect, and it is no surprise they are never given visibility in “his”-story books. It defies any comparison to the modern global conditioning of patriarchy, which has only shown itself to be the antithesis of the natural wisdom of respecting the creative, receptive universal feminine nature that holds the key to our true healing ways on Earth.

No one is exempt from the creative force of the Divine Feminine. Whether or not we have a Yoni, our souls entered this material world through one– and yet very few know the raw unconditioned-by-patriarchal-mores ways of living in respectful relationship with one. Some parts of us remember, and this is key. The matrilineal communities still persevering in pockets across our world through this modern era, do practice and remember. So too, the fringes of our collective who have dared to wake up the cellular memory of our pelvic bowl and tend with respect the cosmic wisdom of the body, her cycles and her messages, in spite of the social conditioning to do just the opposite. 

The revolution will not be synthesized. Not through ‘eh-eye’, not through unholisic paradigms, not through disvalidating true nature and inner experience. We who have gone deep into the wisdom teachings, as well as those who are gingerly stepping into them for the first time: we will gather, learn, and teach each other. The revolution we are seeking is rooted in the body that has remembered its own self- healing wisdom. Activated by a soul that unshakably knows its Self.

Vedic knowledge, in its unparalleled vastness as Ayurveda (Knowledge of Life), Yoga (The Union), and Jyotish (The Light on Life)- continues to offer its timeless foundations to any, and all of us, at whatever place we are in our journey, to evolve as we so desire. This wisdom has been alive for thousands of years; and might be more relevant to us than ever before. May we be open to its guidance in its truest forms.
