Liberating Practices to Enliven Your Full, Wild, Radiant Self with Camille Maurine

Meditation is a practice of being intimate with yourself, and with nature and life. It’s a wide-open, loving embrace of all of who you are. You’re an embodiment of the creative, evolutionary movement of the universe — from the Big Bang to the formation of this planet and the origin of life, Nature has evolved to express itself as you. Nature loves diversity and individuality. You’re a unique expression of life and love, exactly as you are. Cherish this mystery.

This week, you’ll:

• Discover a radically loving way to meditate that honors your individuality and natural way of being
• Learn how to cooperate with the evolutionary wisdom within you and move into ever-deeper wholeness and vitality
• Set yourself free from perfectionist ideals and find new freedom and joy
• Let go of old limiting patterns
• Discover the importance of welcoming all your thoughts, emotions, sensations, and desires in meditation
• Practice a movement meditation for embracing the fullness of who you are — all aspects of your being
• Celebrate your womanhood and individual essence

Life is intense. Loving is intense. Every woman needs time and space to process and integrate her experience. We all need ways to tap into inner resources for meeting the challenges we face each day. Creating a healthy inner sanctuary is crucial and makes all the difference in the world. Sanctuary is sacred space, such as a church or temple. It’s a refuge, a space of healing. A wildlife sanctuary is where all creatures within are protected and can run free. This week, you’ll discover how that is true for you.

You’ll also learn how to soothe your nerves and receive nourishment and support from the energies of life. You’ll discover how to give yourself sacred time and space to tend all your energies and come into deeper balance.

Balance is an ever-changing flow and every day is different. You’ll learn subtle movements to connect you with your inner essence, so you can come home to yourself, again and again.

This week, you’ll:

• Access your homing instinct to find your way home in the inner world — the path can be different each day
• Discover elements for creating a healthy, loving inner sanctuary, and how to give yourself the time and space you need
• Release stress, fear, anxiety, and other challenges you experience by melting tension with movement meditation and opening to harmonious inner flow
• Build on what you love, and discover how natural, spontaneous moments of deep joy and pleasure, of awe and wonder, appreciating beauty and the miracle of life are clues to your innate pathways into meditation
• Cooperate with the internal wisdom, healing power, and creativity within you
• Breathe in the juiciness of the life force within your own being

Sovereignty means you are not owned by anyone else. You claim your inner authority — your intrinsic source of wisdom and power. Freedom and power in the world start “at home,” within you.

Beware of imposing rules on yourself, instructions to control and engineer your experience to conform to an old hierarchical way of being designed for men. Ideals of stillness, purity, and detachment from desire have no place in a healthy approach to meditation. The serenity you crave comes from integration of all of who you are.

Discover how through meditation, you can give yourself radical freedom and choice. You can find what works for you, and then take that sovereignty into your outer life of engagement.

This week, you’ll:

• Reclaim your inner territory and free yourself from the grip of perfectionist ideals
• Give yourself choice in meditation — permission to move, which is key to finding inner balance
• Repression leads to depression. Find how to break the taboos to being your full and authentic self
• Learn how to embody your sacred sovereignty in your private world of meditation as well as in your outer life of engagement

• Practice inhabiting your full energy space — all 360 degrees

Vulnerability is the partner of empowerment — they go hand in hand and we need to embrace both.

This week, you’ll discover how to practice radical compassion for yourself and your internal experience. Your thoughts have texture and substance. Are you being self-critical, poking and prodding, causing a painful and bitter “inner PH”? A “soft inner touch” in meditation can meld these old patterns of constriction and control, help you come into deeper ease and flow, and to know yourself as the movement of love.

This week, you’ll:

• Learn the secret of “soft inner touch” in meditation

• Explore the practice, “Sway Away”

Your real body is not the one in the mirror. It’s the vibrant inner world of sensation, energy, and flow — the movement of life and love within you. Subtle meditative movement takes you deeper into this pulsing reality — your Body of Love.

Sensuality is a natural part of being healthy. Pleasure is good for your health on every level. Deep pleasure and joy are nourishing to every cell and promote wellbeing in your body and heart. This is a scientific fact.

This week, you discover how to give yourself permission to reclaim your natural sensuality. This can help you to heal hurt, shame, or abuse. You’ll start small, with the senses you use every day and the little things that give you joy or comfort.

In meditation, you experience the internal theater of all your inner parts and energies — they all come onto the stage.
