In fact, one time he walked into my kitchen. He said, “There are some Asian women that want to talk about spirituality. Please talk to them.” He flipped open his computer and he walked out.

I looked at the screen and I shrugged and I started talking. I don’t remember what I said exactly, but I remember these eyes looking at me. I mean, no one laughed or tried to shut me down, which is so often the case when spiritual people, especially spiritual women try to speak in a secular world, but Mark Whitwell had allowed these women to become brave enough to discover their own unique expression of life and to open up to the true yoga.

Thank goodness for the marvelous positive masculine that supports the blossoming divine feminine. In fact, I met my husband of 16 years, who’s also a Yogi, because of Mark. It’s good to have spiritual friends. In fact, it might be the greatest blessing any of this can have.

I want all my listeners to hear right now: all of you are also my friends. Everyone listening is my friend. We all share one great cosmic part.

This yoga episode is designed to help you breathe and unify with the intelligence of life as Yogi Mark Whitwell says, “You are the power of the cosmos.”

I want to tell you a brief story before I bring him on. I think everybody remembers 2012. On December 21, 2012, we did a ceremony in alignment with Mayan priests who were in Mexico. We were in Ojai, California. These three priests had told me that it had been 5,125 years since the energy of the divine feminine had been welcomed onto the planet Earth.

They called me the white mare and perhaps feeling my deep love of the Avalonian and Celtic mysteries, they asked me to run a ceremony in alignment with them to help open the portal so that the divine feminine could express themselves on planet Earth once again. Now I thought this was pretty exciting. I mean, today I was also thinking that the Dalai Lama has said that, “The world will be saved by Western women.” We’ve got to get on it here.

To my joy, Mark Whitwell showed up to help in this birthing from the womb of the Great Mother on Winter Solstice, the time of year when the Druids celebrated the feminine mysteries. On that night, many women reclaimed their voices, their souls, and their spirits. The men found the goddess within them too.

Mark Whitwell is a man who supports the goddess and women and thanks to you. Thank you for that, Mark.

Wow.

I’m going to take a really brief ad break. When I return, I will introduce Mark. We will discuss his journey into India, the heart of yoga, breath, why yoga matters now more than ever.

If you listen to the end, Mark will share a very special mantra and breathing practice, something known by ancient saints and sages. Take a moment to check out Mark’s ongoing online yoga classes which are great. They’re evergreen. You can download them I think for a dollar. You can do eight yoga classes. So, heartofyoga.com.

Stay tuned. We’ll be right back.
