Meeting the Dakini!

That‘s from a sutra teaching (2nd slogan of lojong/ Mind training). Dharmas means appearances (here). The Dakinis try to help me to realize that all is dream-like, projections of my mind. How amazingly great is my responsibility for all I perceive now… The following, a bit similar sentence has also

Enjoy the meditation!

Dance dakinis, dance! Boundless as the cosmos residing within my soul. The flaming tongues of awareness, licking at shadows in the dark corners of my mind. Illuminated by the single-pointed vastness- You reveal to my awareness, oh Vajrayogini! Because the longer the flame, the shorter the shadow.

I wanted to share a comical, true confession. I am happily spending significant time working on transcriptions of Khandro-la's teachings. One morning this week I was reciting the Six Session Guru Yoga and realized that instead of saying, “And vow to protect all the vows I have taken nor transgress

Although I could not join the major part of Tsok Feast and celebration of Khandro-la's birthday, my gift was shared during Tsok Feast. Thank you Ellen! Lotus, sparkling rainbow colors, crystal clear, yet visibly formed, rich and full, yet empty, vast and spaceous, embracing both gods and demons,

hope this is the right forum for this. This is a water color painting I did of the chöjung we visualize during Vajrayogini practice. I had a hard time drawing the surrounding mantra as it is backwards but still tried to include as much as I could- the main focus for me was the BAM and the chojung. i

All the dakinis visited my backyard a few days ago - literally pouring in a shower of rainbow light. What a blessing to experience this! During the 5 Dakini Practice I particularly love the part where you visualise all the dakinis returning into Buddha Dakini in the centre and becoming a light showe

On waking in the darkness, dragons having been throwing boulders at the walls of a castle. 20 ton rocks they threw, to smash those walls down. Two of them one white, one black with wings and arms and no back legs... man that was crazy I thought as I shared the dream with Deidre. The beginning of mul

I have beheld the face of Vajrayogini. She has come alive opening all of my sense doors! In my eyes’ reflection in the mirror while brushing my teeth. In the gap between strong, negative emotional reactions/thoughts and awareness. In the fire in my belly when sitting in meditation. In the stale, da

In this first episode of Sky Dancer Podcast, Choying Khandro interviews a contemporary Mongolian artist Soyolmaa Davaakhuu as she discusses her Tibetan and contemporary art in the Vajrayana tradition and the inspiration of Dakinis as Deities in her life. If you'd like to listen while you are cook

In Part 1 of this 3-part series, I attempt to offer a compelling invitation to discover and experience Dakini in the modern world. Through the lens of my book, Dakini Journey in the Contemporary World, we glimpse into the mysterious yet profound power of Dakini energies in all of us. Like the great

Looking for a "sign." But what is a sign if not my mind looking? Feeling discouraged by doubt. But what is doubt if not awareness seeing? Questioning my devotion. But what is devotion if not this heart yearning for it? Where is Vajrayogini if not in my looking, feeling and questioning?

i just had an encounter with a dakini in a bikini (i think) at the beach. She was 77 and as spritely and soft as a child and wise and kind like a mother. We had a chat about being loved and loving and she told me ALL of me was loved - at which i started to cry.... we talked about Jesus and Buddha be

I found 3 fragments of driftwood walking along the beach. I 'saw' that they could fit together and form this passing-cloud / sky-dancer / dakini. I have been posting little 'episodes' of her movements on social media and it was just today that I made the connection to the 3 principles of practice

I know now, if grief had a voice, she would be a dakini. What would she say to you?

So I thought I had better do what keeps showing up. Start drawing. Here is the first of what will be a journey of putting the images of practice to paper. Machiks supplication to the five dakinis keeps playing over and over each night. So I felt called to begin with her. Feeling so blessed to be d

Hello and happy Dakini Day ! I felt this a perfect time to post about my intuitive journey creating a Dakini (sculpture) and to hearing the Dakini’s Whisper. I find the creative process gives me greater visceral connection to the unseen and intangible aspects of a spiritual practice. Art can be
