The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done, we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change so that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger but in wisdom, understanding and love.

GOCHO VERSOLARI - Obra Poética: Escritora Argentina

GOCHO VERSOLARI - Obra Poética: Escritora Argentina: La vieja dama se sienta en el orinal del mundo como en el trono de una reina. Allí  mastica agua e insiste en que es literatura. ...
What a beautiful blessing it is to have all that’s now available to us in the west regarding Sacred Sexuality.When I started on my healing journey, virtually nothing existed. However, I am one of the many who are part of the collective desire to heal the wounds caused by sexual trauma.
This is a good thing!
We are a collective who have recognized the harm, decided to turn from the condition, and are creating opportunities to move beyond our collective wound into something greater.
My contribution to this movement is my book, Sacred Sexuality, Reclaiming the Divine Feminine. The exercises in the book as well as the workshops, discussion groups, and blogs that have manifested as a result of doing my work have moved me and many others beyond the beyond to a higher vision for our human expression, including our sexuality.
My Vision: To live the qualities of the Divine Feminine in service to humanity’s wholeness, has taken me to a full expression of who I am as a woman.The importance of my presence and every sentient being on the planet is crystal clear.
My Mission: By living these qualities, my presence heals, transforms, and gives permission for the radical expression of sacred sexuality on the planet, has taken me to a deeper understanding and a stronger commitment to both.
What does the Radical Expression of Sacred Sexuality on the Planet look like?
The radical expression of sacred sexuality is about so much more than sex. Our collective sexual trauma stems from all the beliefs generated about not good enough, smart enough, lovable enough…
All those times we don’t feel seen or heard or valued or loved cause us humans to perpetuate horrendous acts toward our brothers and sisters.
All of it is a call for Love.
The radical expression of sacred sexuality is the answer to that call for love.
It’s an honoring of every sentient being as perfect whole and complete. Necessary, important, and needed for the evolution of our consciousness and thus, our species.
WE HAVE TO EVOLVE TOGETHER!
BECAUSE WE ARE ALL ONE!
The drive to heal all aspects of our collective sexual trauma is a call to the Divine Feminine. Her presence instigates healing, celebrates collaboration, and demands the higher expression of the human experience. An expression which honors everyone, recognizes our unity, balances the masculine with the feminine, and creates a world that works for all!
The Divine Feminine is the pathway to Paradise Now!
Any judgment toward another is an unanswered call for self-love.
Any misunderstanding of another is an unanswered call for self-love.
Every criticism of any system is an unanswered call for self-love.
We dishonor, devalue, use, and abuse ourselves again and again and again by perpetuating the old story of NOT ENOUGH!
Let’s STOP and Come Home to Love!
Coming home to love requires:
Vulnerability without hesitation,
Authenticity without exception,
And 100% commitment to Self-Love without reason!
The radical expression of sacred sexuality begins within. It’s an agreement with self to fully realize the investment we have made in our human journey. It’s imperative that we realize our return on our investment is monumental when we value this human experience and EVERYONE ON THE JOURNEY WITH US!
As a collective, when we express our own self-worth, our own value, with authenticity, vulnerability, and full unbridled expectation of our good,
We have the power to deliver ourselves from bondage.
We have the power to live out loud.
We have the power to transform tragedy.
We have the power to change the world!
We have the power to live in ecstasy.
Not just one of us. Not just a few of us. Not just our own countrymen. 
But our entire human family!
The One, expressing as all 7 billion of us.
Begin now with 108 days of Self-Love Mantras. Each day, choose a new self-love mantra and repeat it 108 times. Do this for 108 days. Check out the FaceBook page for details by clicking here.
Join in accelerating the evolution of our consciousness. Join me in the Radical Expression of Sacred Sexuality through the Radical Expression of Self-Love.

The Spirtual Power of Dance

The Spiritual Power of Dance.
Throughout the history of the world, dance has played a vital role in some of the most important and life altering celebrations and ceremonies that have existed. Battles have been fought and won immediately following weapons dances. Kingdoms have been one and lost and celebrated with dances. Kings and Monarchs have been crowned then celebrated with dances, and marriages have been consummated with dances of another kind.
Dance has always been at the center of important events until recent history when it would seem that dance and the importance of dance to morale has been lost somewhere in the process. Dance these days seems to be limited to certain people in certain circumstances or only to those who engage in the art of dance for the entertainment of others rather than the simple joy of dancing for the sake of dancing.
Dance is one of those things that should not be a footnote in the journals of the history of the world. The ability to dance, as an outward expression of emotion is one of those rare things that separates a man from a beast.
Though the importance of dance seems to have been misplaced in the last century or so, we are seeing a rebirth of sorts for the love of dance and finally beginning to understand some of the more important issues that dance addresses.
spiritual dance“Dance is the fastest, most direct route to the truth — not some big truth that belongs to everybody, but the get down and personal kind, the what’s-happening-in-me-right-now kind of truth. We dance to reclaim our brilliant ability to disappear in something bigger, something safe, a space without a critic or a judge or an analyst”
“We dance to fall in love with the spirit in all things, to wipe out memory or transform it into moves that nobody else can make because they didn’t live it. We dance to hook up to the true genius lurking behind all the bullshit — to seek refuge in our originality and our power to reinvent ourselves; to shed the past, forget the future and fall into the moment feet first. Remember being fifteen, possessed by the beat, by the thrill of music pumping loud enough to drown out everything you’d ever known”
“We dance to survive, and the beat offers a yellow brick road to make it through the chaos that is the tempo of our times. We dance to shed skins, tear off masks, crack molds, and experience the breakdown — the shattering of borders between body, heart and mind, between genders and generations, between nations and nomads. We are the transitional generation”
“This is our dance”

Happiness..for the soul

Happiness is an art that can be learned. Instead of sitting around waiting for joy to descend upon you or searching for fulfillment in all the wrong places, consider how you can incorporate these keys to true sustainable happiness into your life.
1. Authenticity.
You are a once-in-humankind event. Your soul is a unique blend of passions, gifts and quirks. If you’re not showing up to the world as your true self or living in a way that feels right to you, you feel out of alignment and your happiness levels will suffer.
2. Giving.
When you give from a place of love without expecting anything in return, you are nourished and fulfilled as much as the receiver of your gift. Giving doesn’t have to be grandiose — you can give a silent blessing in your heart, a kind word of support, or a helping hand whenever you spot an opportunity.
3. Stillness.
The modern world glorifies busyness and if you’re like most people, you’re probably feeling overwhelmed and exhausted as a result. Your inner spirit needs time in stillness and silence to rest, replenish and renew. Try meditating for ten minutes each morning and see what effect it has on your day and sense of wellbeing.
4. Flow.
Flow is the feeling you experience when you get completely lost in something you love. It could be cooking, writing, painting, running, building, serving others or any number of things. When you lose yourself in something you love, you create the perfect space to <em>find </em>yourself — you experience your essential nature.
5. Gratitude.
Gratitude is the sweet shortcut to happiness. It turns what you have into enough; it trains your mind to focus on all of the beauty, simple joys and goodness surrounding you; and it fills you up with feelings of pleasure and satisfaction, which in turn makes you a magnet for more good things.
6. Awe.
When we’re on holidays in another city or country, a simple street, café or park can seem fascinating and amazing to our fresh eyes. Try bringing this same sense of awe to your local neighborhood and everyday environment. You will be surprised by the wonders you discover.
7. Acceptance.
Eckhart Tolle teaches that the intensity of our pain depends on our level of resistance to the present moment. When you accept the present moment as it is, you instantly access a sense of inner peace, while freeing up your energy to make changes within your circle of control to create different outcomes in the future.
8. Presence.
Most of us spend our days lost in our heads, reflecting on the past or contemplating the future. We’re not connecting with life itself — with our senses, our loved ones, the beauty of a sunrise, the feeling of the wind on our skin or the taste of our breakfast. Try to connect with the present moment all throughout the day. It will make your days feel much longer, brighter and fuller.
9. Self-love.
The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself. Unfortunately, many of us talk to ourselves with criticism and contempt. Start treating yourself like you would treat a best friend or loved one — with love, compassion and unconditional acceptance. As Buddha wrote, “You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire Universe, deserve your love and affection.”
10. Purpose.
Everyone’s soul has a unique purpose in life. It may be one single great mission, or a series of smaller intentions like enjoying earthly pleasures, being of service to others, and growing into the best version of yourself. Your path and purpose will be different to everyone else, so instead of conforming to social norms, consult your own heart and intuition when making decisions for your life.
11. Optimism.
There is a saying which goes, “Worrying is like praying for what you don’t want.” In most instances, worrying about the future is no more logical or warranted than expecting a positive outcome — in fact, your life experience likely shows that most things work out in the end. So save yourself from the emotional turmoil of worrying, and cultivate a mindset based on optimism, positive expectation and trust.
12. Play.
A walk through the park on the way to a meeting feels like an obstacle, but a walk in the park for no reason at all feels like a luxury and a joy. Have you lost touch with the innate playful spirit you had when you were a child? See if you can bring it back. Make time to do things for the sake of enjoyment, and bring an attitude of fun and play to your daily life and experiences.
13. Balance.
In the ancient text the Tao Te Ching, we are taught there is a time for everything — a time for taking action, and a time for resting; a time for certainty, and a time for uncertainty. Incorporate balance into your life by alternating periods of action with periods of rest. Reflect on whether your life is fulfilling in all life areas — from love, career, health and learning, to finances, leisure and self-growth.
14. Compassion.
At a fundamental level, we are all the same and we are all equal. You have a choice — to focus on the differences between yourself and other people, or to see the common humanity you share. When you feel compassion towards others and accept them as they are, you actually set yourself free — from your rigid expectations of others.
15. A new perspective.
According to the text A Course In Miracles, a ‘miracle’ is a shift in our perspective about a person or situation — from feeling fearful to feeling secure and love-filled; from holding a grudge to practicing forgiveness; from getting upset by a trivial matter to remembering the bigger picture of life and letting it go. The more you practice these shifts in perspective, the more you will experience contentment and inner peace.

Often we fail to check our facts. We think we know the whole situation before We check it out. I remember hearing about a young attorney whose first job was with a large railroad company. It was not long until he had his first case to try. A farmer noticed that his prize cow was missing from the field through which the railroad passed. He promptly went down and filed suit in the justice of the peace's office against the railroad company for the value of his cow.
In due course the case came up for hearing before the local justice of the peace in the back room of the general store, and the smart young attorney came down from the big city to defend the railroad company.
The first thing he did was to take the farmer, who had no attorney, over into a corner and begin talking to him about settling the case. Well, the young lawyer talked and talked and finally twisted the old farmer's arm so that the farmer, very reluctantly, agreed to accept half of what he was claiming to settle the case.
After the farmer had signed the release and taken the check, the young lawyer just could not resist gloating over the old farmer a little bit, and he said, "You know, I hate to tell you this, but actually I put one over on you this morning. I could not have won the case. The engineer was asleep, and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your farm that morning. I did not have one witness to put on the stand."
The old farmer smiled a bit and went on chewing his tobacco. Then he said, "Well, I will tell you, young feller, I was a little worried about winning that case myself. You know, that durned cow came home this morning. "

Many, many years ago, a friend of mine had a boyfriend, who was less than stellar. Putting it mildly, he was an ass.
During their long relationship and many disagreements, said boyfriend would often say, “Love it or leave it.” I was appalled when I was told he said this. How could he not even be willing to try and change to make the relationship work?
I have since realized that Love it or leave it should be a silent mental mantra we all let guide us in life, well… to an extent, at least.
I was told by a friend that this thought is traveling down a slippery slope.
I paused and thought about this, a slippery slope? Possibly. But, aren’t we already treading a slippery slope when we live a life in anticipation of something or someone changing.
In reality, this guy wasn’t going to change, and quite frankly, shouldn’t change, to rise up to my friends needs, nor should my friend neglect what it is she needs. He, meaning we all, isn’t/aren’t going to change until we are darn well ready to or until our life is on the path toward that change.
Love it or leave it runs deeper than the obvious. When we truly love someone, and they leave their mess around, or become neglectful, we still essentially love them. This is part of love, accepting what we think are shortcomings. So in this sense, we have no real reason to leave.
When we are in a relationship with someone (friend, family or lover) and we are mistreated or the relationship is detrimental in some way, leaving may make the most sense.
No one should be expected to be who they aren’t for the sake of another, even if said person is genuinely an ass. We may do crappy things or we may just like to eat our dinner in our underwear. That doesn’t mean though that we should change to fulfill someone else’s desires for us.
We are the only ones who can lead our personal journey. We will all take wrong turns, run into roadblocks, and quite possibly fall into a hole. A guide is only a temporary deterrent. We, one day, will still need to re-findour path and take it. Don’t delay the inevitable and stay on course.
We are who we are and can’t and shouldn’t change to make others like us or accept us. This boyfriend wasn’t right for my friend. They learned from each other what needed to be learned then it was time to move on. Not much more could come from it.
If moving on is what it takes, then move. If that means saying goodbye to those who don’t think we are good enough or expect us to change, so be it.
Follow your path, learn from the lessons meant for you, and love and accept yourself. You may need to pull on your all-terrain boots to traverse that slippery slope.
Be conscious of every twist and turn and be prepared for the precipices you may near. As Obi Wan Kenobi says, “Be mindful, Anakin,” you too should be mindful of your choices and be the master of those choices.
When you are mindful of all that you encounter, you will see the light leading your path.
It’s your choice, ‘Love it or Leave it’.
