EMBARKING ON A JOURNEY OF WISDOM AND HARMONIOUS VIBRATIONS
I am so happy to finally reveal the final Goddess in the Trinity that holds Psalms of the Goddess, Saraswati. It has been such a beautiful experience to share these goddesses who are so special to my own journey. And to now share with you how they have also inspired another part of my work and creative process is very special to me. In essence, these musings, where I get to be honest and share a bit more of myself with you. It is this third goddesses’ essence that completes the masterpiece that is Behind the Veil and The Ritual.
Saraswati is the Hindu Goddess of knowledge, music, art, and learning, and her presence resonates profoundly in my practice and my life. A truth I've often emphasised through my various offerings is that knowledge is power. At the core of what I do in Behind the Veil is my unwavering commitment to share my wisdom and knowledge with all of you. Over the years, I've amassed a wealth of insights and understanding, and I realised early on that hoarding this knowledge would serve no greater purpose. It was this realisation that gave birth to Behind the Veil, a space where I could channel my wealth of knowledge to enrich the lives of those seeking it.
Frequently, I'm asked to share resources, recommend books, and for me, this is a form of expressing love. Learning is not just a hobby but a true passion of mine, and I consider it an honour to delve into my interests, refine them, and then extend their benefits to all of you. With this in mind, it becomes clear why Saraswati had to be an integral part of the first Psalms of The Goddess collection. Her essence encapsulates the profound significance of knowledge-sharing and the transformative power it holds.
My dedication to knowledge-sharing extends beyond my spiritual practice and offerings. In everything I undertake, I strive for meticulousness, constantly seeking resources and information to ensure that every aspect of my work is well-informed and rooted in facts. Whether it's creating new products, curating content, or organising events, this commitment to thorough research and attention to detail remains unwavering. It's a commitment born out of my genuine passion for learning and an unshakeable belief in the transformative power of knowledge.
Throughout my life, I've maintained an unwavering commitment to precision, whether I was crafting a meditation class or diving into the depths of my diverse interests. My approach to every endeavour is firmly rooted in the pursuit of knowledge, backed by facts, and driven by an insatiable thirst for understanding. Behind a 10-minute ritual or social media post lies countless hours of dedicated learning, profound comprehension and intention. While this meticulous approach may not always be the most lucrative, it's the only way I know how to operate, and believe me, I've explored alternative methods to no avail.
My passion for knowledge extends far and wide, encompassing diverse subjects that have captured my curiosity over the years. From the profound intricacies of Kundalini yoga, where I would meticulously research and articulate the physiological and spiritual aspects of each pose, to exploring a myriad of other topics, I've always believed that knowledge forms the foundation of all that I undertake.
The dedication to go the extra mile has been a hallmark of my journey. I recall conversations where I shared the lengths I would go to in order to prepare and enrich a Kundalini yoga class. While it may have taken more time and effort, it was an essential aspect for me. This commitment to thorough preparation permeates every facet of my life.
In essence, what sets me apart is, in fact, this dedication to knowledge and the pursuit of factual understanding. It underpins every action I take, making the extra effort a standard, rather than an exception, in everything I do.
The Ritual is a realm where patience and time intertwine. It's essential to understand that the creative process itself isn't what consumes time; rather, it's the meticulous execution and the profound education that accompany it. This deliberate pace allows me to immerse myself fully in what I do, infusing each creation with deep meaning and intention. I seek to discover and within these discoveries unlock a world that is more meaningful and enriched.
Conscious communication is something that I often refer to in my teachings and is something that Saraswati inspires in me. Conscious communication, to me, is a transformative practice that has fundamentally shifted how I engage with the world. It's about speaking and listening with intention, mindfulness, and empathy. This approach has been a profound catalyst for change in my life. In the past, I often found myself communicating from a place of reactivity, driven by emotions and impulsivity. And I feel like, if we’re being honest, a lot of us can relate to this. However, as I delved deeper into conscious communication, I discovered the power of pausing, reflecting, and responding rather than reacting. It has equipped me with the tools to step back from heated situations, take a breath, and choose my words carefully. This shift has not only improved my relationships but has also allowed me to communicate from a place of respect and calm, fostering deeper connections and understanding with those around me. Conscious communication is more than just words; it's a path to cultivating empathy, harmony, and meaningful connections in every aspect of life.
Within the realm of Behind the Veil, I've introduced a framework known as "The Agreements." These are conscious choices that you make with yourself, serving as guiding principles to promote the art of conscious communication. They act as a safeguard, preventing us from unwittingly projecting our own narratives onto someone else's, a pitfall often leading to ineffective communication. We've all had those bewildering conversations that leave us wondering what just transpired, leaving us feeling disoriented. The Agreements are a tool to ensure that our interactions are rooted in clarity, empathy, and mutual understanding, helping us sidestep the pitfalls of miscommunication.
Finally, as many of you may know from my past Kundalini classes, sound and sound currents fascinate and amaze me. There is such a profound relationship between sound and humans that links us to centuries past and it’s been part of our lives since forever. Sound, with its currents and vibrations, is a profound force that can significantly influence our well-being. It's a medium through which we can sculpt and transform our inner landscapes. I've found this principle particularly valuable in its simplest form when nurturing my children. By playing various mantras and music, I can seamlessly shift and alter the atmosphere around them, like a gentle, yet powerful breeze that can carry away tension or invigorate their spirits. Whether it's the calming strains of harmonious melodies during the creation of my products or the use of different rhythms when packing orders, the magic of sound weaves its soothing spell. Mantras and music, infused with the Earth's natural sounds and harmonies, carry a unique enchantment that instantly bestows tranquillity and positivity. They serve as affirmations, whispered by the cosmos, resonating with our very essence.
There is so much richness to be found within each of the goddesses and so much power that we can harness in our own lives to match and mirror and inspire ways of being. Goddesses live in the infinite, where everything is possible and that is an important reminder for us navigating the 3-D world. We must choose to see the endless possibilities within ourselves and we can do that through the goddess, through archetypes, showing us the endless possibilities for ourselves. This concludes the Trinity of Goddesses included in Collection One of Psalms of the Goddess. I am excited for you to discover and explore each element, thereby deepening or developing your connection with each.
So much love,
