Any other Kali devotees here? I felt inspired to paint her Yantra (1st pic). After awakening it with 108 mantras into the bindu, I closed my eyes to meditate and could see the symbol in my minds eye - but the negative of it, as I’d been staring a long time. This inspired the (2nd pic) so I painted everything the opposite shade with more contrast so when I close my eyes after I have a perfect glowing yantra there. I know the importance of the geometry being exact & obviously doing this by hand it isn’t but it feels relational & good to me. Jai Ma 🔥

This time of year is very sacred to many different cultures around the world, and symbolized the awakening of Earth from winter and making preperations for planting. It wasn't uncommon to be present at holy sites to watch the sunrise, to pray for the fields to be fertile, and to ask for proper rains at proper times in order to have a bountiful harvest. Not only this, but to pray that livestock be fertile and remain healthy. To our ancestors the equinox was a celebration of surviving winter, and looking forward to rejuvenating days full of promise. I am thankful to have made it through winter, I am looking forward to longer warm sunshine filled days, where the smell of blossoms float in the breeze. What are you thankful for and what are some things about spring equinox do you look forward to?

I think I’ve been in a dark night since November. The last couple years were intense spiritually — Grandmother Ayahuasca, Bufo, kambo, Dr. Iboga, leaving my career, breaking my lease, selling everything, and doing a solo cross-country pilgrimage camping from New Orleans to Mount Shasta and back to New Hampshire. My soul was loudly directing all of this - I was just the vehicle. Now I’m at my mom’s house isolated in deep winter. My inspiration snuffed out, my soul has gone dead silent. It’s not exactly depression. It’s more like I don’t see the point in anything anymore, & feel a deep refusal to participate in a 9-5 ever again. Everything’s grey and empty. I even wonder sometimes if I imagined it all. Right now my plan is to spend the summer camping near the White Mountains and letting my nervous system reset. I’m curious if anyone here has gone through a phase like this after deep spiritual work — where the guidance disappears and you’re left in a strange silent in-between. That liminal void of painful nothing. The pup I rescued on the pilgrimage is my silver lining, my bright light. 🐾

Are you truly awake or just accepting that you are without knowing that you are, and if you are awake, how do you know you are awake and what have you woken up from?

Hello peeps! 👋 I’m really curious about how all of you eat, so I decided to start a little poll. I’d love it if you could take a few seconds to vote and let me know what kind of eater you are. If you follow a specific or unusual way of eating, feel free to drop a comment. The same goes if you’ve had interesting experiences with food, like health issues that improved or even disappeared thanks to a certain diet. I’d be really happy to read about it! And please: no food shaming 🙃 ✨🫶✨
