Radiance is the spirit of love shining brightly out of our eyes, cells, tissues, and organs. All women, regardless of age or what we have been through, possess a natural radiance, an inner shine that lights up a room. But as we get older, our radiance will be dependent upon how well we have navigated the hardships of life and kept a sense of curiosity, innocence, playfulness, and aliveness in our hearts throughout it all. It will also depend on well we allowed our emotions to flow (i.e cry, dance, shake, let go and release) and not become hardened, bitter, judgmental, distrusting, or shut down, but far more seasoned and fully alive, throughout it all, in spite of all. —India Ame’ye

What do you think of organized religions?

An observation about the people who ask me the question above (irl) are the people have it in them to change the way the others see things. And I'm sure you stand out.

So, before that, let me bow down to this truth - may the curiosity and seeking you have shown encourage us all.

Every religion was made to answer a specific question and answer it in some way that can match the level of perception of the seeker at that time and if not lost, for the future too.

Organised religion can give a beautiful entrance to rituals and ways of practicing entering the state where thoughts related to the circuitous nature about the outer pursuits could be quieted to focus on something bigger than ourselves.

But here's the catch, the community can only resonate at the level of the individual and vice versa. Organised religion can lead to stagnation, orthodoxy and killing of independent thought. And if the religion preaches by exclusion and by posing superiority - there is a thin line between controling and confirming.

I believe that- there is nothing more in me that I can teach you, that you yourself cannot realise. We are all on this path a few steps in line with each other.

Anything that gives you the freedom and the confidence to explore this truth and really live in the truth that God resides in you and works through you and also through others and still is sum of all and more is welcome.

Much love!

you are allowed — no, in fact, supposed to — define beauty on your own terms. beauty has become such a loaded, weaponised, corrupted concept in order to control and disempower us. perhaps precisely because, when wielded with confidence, beauty holds so much power. and i’m not talking just about how you look but about the aesthetics of everything, the art of everyday. beauty defined on our own terms connects us directly with our human spirit, circumventing power structures (patriarchy, capitalism, racism, imperialism, etc) that try to dictate that for us. to control us. aesthetics play a massive role in our sense of self worth, and our sense of self worth plays a massive role in the trajectory and quality of our life. it matters greatly (so it is no wonder we are trained to believe, too, that it’s vapid or stupid). when i talk about finding beauty, training yourself to see it, pursuing it yourself… this is what i mean. forget about the “standards”, you must develop your own taste, your own conviction about what beauty means (it is different for all of us) as a type of creative pursuit, and invest your time, energy, and money into cultivating it. it’s not just for frivolity and pleasure — it truly does create power, and dilutes the power of pernicious power structures too. find the beauty everywhere, on your own terms. please.

Engage in deeply creative work. The depth is not measured by how popular or award winning it is. But simply by its truthfulness and authenticity. Be it prose, verse, pottery, painting, reciting , speaking, praying, singing, swaying.

The metrics -

1. It must bring you pleasure and satisfaction. The audience is you.

2. Complete surrender to the process.

3. Progress over perfection.

When the inspiration drops in your lap, hold it tightly and create. Other times you must make a pilgrimage to find it. Do not seek immediate reception of your ideas, you might be creating for a future yet to be born.

Maybe, you are creating the future as you make art.

She's Ma.

The great ego death. The ultimate liberator. The absolute beauty of the universe. The creator in her most fluid and most brilliant form. She's the brightest star, she's the black hole in the center. She's the protector of the women who are wronged. She's the queen of women who are blooming. She's everything. And she's you.

before we transition to a new year, this is one thing I want you to know:

Your efforts, your growth is seen. Your trying is holy. Listen to me, darling - do not waste your time explaining your calling, your dreams. The right people understand at a glance. The universe aligns with your highest good, this is my blessing for you.

I pray with you for your success and for your blooming. Let me bless you, my love - for taking your life despite whatever has happened and making it into deep brown earth for nourishment for your soul.

Let me mark this day for you, my love: the old energies burn away. The new good, the new opportunities, this bounty of love and devotion and abundance and protection unlock this day for the coming years.

May we be healthy and loved and protected and bloom even more into the shape of this life crafted with such inspiration for us.

With much love and protection.

When you start lifting weights and working out, everything else tends to fall into place. Your body begins to crave healthier food and hydration. Your body tends to sleep better at night to recover. Your mind becomes clearer. And you have less desire to engage old bad habits. —India Ame’ye

There is nothing that has done more damage than women forgetting that they are so intimately connected to the wisdom of nature.

That the cycles run in parallel to her own flowing psyche.

That she doesn't need a religion to know that even the blood between her legs is holy.

She isn't submissive - that's not what a woman is despite them trying to hammer us down for this.

A woman is a wild tide turning into a tsunami, an under current of unspoken mysteries in the broad daylight.

See a wolf in nature, see a lioness, see a she-hawk - they aren't mumbling to accepted. See them sprawl, and stretch and soar.

That is you. Welcome home.

Crying, the ability to cry, is a good sign of wellness. That’s because water and salt are deeply cleansing, purifying, and deeply, deeply relaxing.—India Ame’ye

every woman - no matter who and in what circumstances, must have these 4 things -

1. A degree which allows her to be financially independent.

2. Independent Real estate - it doesn't matter if the start is just a small (barely there) house. A place of your own is your sanctuary. Start with small steps but keep your eyes on the prize.

3. A deep sense of spirituality in a way that matters to her (no, not an organised religion, but a practice, a homecoming)

4. A deep sense of self worth.

Don‘t just travel, prepare your body for travel. Don’t just get into a relationship, prepare your body for new love. Don’t just eat in a hurry, prepare your body for healthy digestion. —India Ame’ye, Author

for any woman who needs to be in true tuning to herself to embody being fully this higher version- and if she has been given a goldmine of dreams to work with at night:

dreamwork is absolutely essential. Understanding your symbolism and your past resurfacing an invitation in transcending it.

Dreams just don't give you a resource of deeply embedded material, it is often how the spirit/ unconscious guides you to an answer for problems which trouble you in waking life and epiphanies of what might be.

It is a deeply personal study of yourself and how your mythos connects with the larger bigger than the sum of us all - source.

A deeply seated soul of the woman speaks in her own realm of subconscious, she walks with you through both the marbled and mud halls of imagery and picks out the best to be sent to you as a message and indicator to help you as dreams.

Your dreams will never process everything at once, there are often 2-3 central themes and a solution to metabolise this nutrition into your waking life.

Through dreams, she's like a wild woman walking the wilderness, making the roots of your being, allowing you to make space for going deeper and rising higher than what is.

Honour that voice, seek what she asks you to answer and then embody it.

With blessings,

Tara.

Attention is the first step to devotion :

Everything you pay attention to is what your life revolves around. If you want to know if anybody loves you or deserves you - test their attention towards you and your well-being together.

This is why, attention and action are fool-proof evidence.

Carrying this to your life - remember, if you pay attention to something, dropping labels and really looking at it - everything will turn sacred.

This is why roundabout and drawn out arguments and petty squabbles are to be avoided - they draw your attention from what you can be inspired from and what truly matters.

That is why - I tell you - surround yourself in and out with revelations which hold true for you.

Keep finding them in nooks and corner - nudging you by the edge of your being to a new destiny.

Attention is your most precious currency, make sure you are using it for something you really need.

- much love and blessings,

Tara.
