THE FABRIC OF FEMININE SUCCESS
If you could untie your wings
and free soul of jealousy
you and everyone around
you would fly up like Doves .~Rumi
In the past, old patterns of women’s absence and exclusion from power created a system of insufficiency. But there is a world beyond obsessions of competition, separation and inequality.
So why not create the antidote now! Success is a fire we burn for. Let’s start with a change of perspective.
First, kick the “not enough” mantra to the curb. It’s poison!
Success is a path of enlightenment.
It is the final fulfillment of the dream
we were born with.
Dream with me;
let’s comfort our souls together.
I believe in powerful tribal visions dreaming of change.
Our collective dreams are old and sacred, and it’s time they be revived.
We are due the long-missing female element of fulfillment that fully completes the pattern of enlightened success.
And dreaming of success together can spread the light of change all through our society much more effectively than any one could individually.
My healing vision
Universe is abundance. We each carry a pattern inside of what we want to fulfill. Each of us is born with a star inside that knows its own time to rise and shine, and is woven into a whole universe of dreams. Each star is unique: no design-pattern is like another. We sometimes more easily recognize the star inside others around us. But among our respective stars, there’s never an element of competition or overreaching, just witnessing and sustaining.
Today many women are born with a collective dream. We want to play big and be an active part in the change. For example, today more than ever we have female presidents all over the world. Women’s stars are rising and shining!
The fabric of feminine success is in our roots. Knowing that each one has her time to come, we come back into the knowing our right time to rise.
Now remember the fabric of creation!
We know when the star of our sister is about to rise; it’s a sacred birth. Instead of the subtle patterns of envy or competition, we remember:
We never did it alone. We will never rise at the same time, because the fabric of creation is wise: it provides the support of sisters when one star rises, carrying the burden when one sister is in holy times of transit, providing support when the climax fire of success burns bright.
Success is not rented. It is an eternal pattern of climax and withdraw, of birth and death. It’s nature in her sacred rhythm. It’s a natural flow. Remember, we all live in a network of our visions, our actions, our loves. It is a collage of impressions, feelings, memories, all small pieces of life. And deep within us lives a pattern of universal abundance. Supporting one another while following our own individual paths is illuminating and will open a space for all of us having big and small explosions of success, celebration and fulfillment.
We know we will not shine at the same time, but always shine together.
While writing this in a hotel in Carmel awaiting my book winning proposal with Linda Siversten, this song suddenly filled the lobby where I am writing.
And the magic is connected!

REINVENTING THE HEROINE INSIDE:
“A culture of fancy self love”
I call myself a cosmic nomad. After all those years of stripping off too-tight skins quilted out of the conventions, conditionings, and opinions of others, I feel really good in my own skin, woven of my own stories.
Cosmic nomad (ˈkɒzmɪkˈnəʊmæd)
1. a member of a universal people or tribe who walks equally in heaven and on earth from place to place to find freedom and fulfillment
2. a person who is continually a sender for the universe and loves to discover the world; madly in love with non-conformity and universal law

A cosmic nomad.
The story of finding one’s own terms.
It all started when I was a graphic design student. My final and most ambitious university exams required that I be ultimately creative. Or better said, I wanted to be. High-pressure polishes diamonds. During these times, I discovered that when my inspiration flow dammed up, I could find immediate relief literally on the move. I just had to jump on the next tramway and my ideas would bubble again.
Later in my one and only employment I tried to convince my boss that inspiration comes to me much faster when I can move. When he refused to give my inner wolf space, my cosmic nomad made the final, life-altering decision: to be truly inspired, I needed to be unbound.
Cosmic Nomads are free.
No borders, just horizons.
“YOU HAVE TO LIVE WHAT YOU ARE.”
I was a penniless student without any support from home, another surgery in my imminent future, and a broken heart from my first real love marrying another woman.
In a vision I had of one of my inner gurus, he invited me on a pilgrimage to India. I did not have the money for such a trip, but my heart said yes, and the money arrived the next day when I secured a new work project. It was so much money, it was a miracle in itself. Used to traveling in small, spare rooms and scraping by, I suddenly had enough to support me in beautiful comfort as my journey continued.
I arrived in India. I sat on a Five-Star hotel terrace, sipping tea, listening to an elegant Italian woman tell a story about the guru I was about to meet for the first time on that trip.
A very rich lady had decided to turn up in the ashram in a very modest, even poor look, contrary to her usual rich and decorated appearance. The guru invited her to an interview, and in front of all other people in the interview room he asked, “Why does she come to me with her poorest clothes? Does she think I am not worth it? At home she smartens up. But not for me.”
“But Swami, I wanted to be like everyone else here and not stand out with all my clothes and jewelry. I wanted to be a poor pilgrim like others.”
And here was the sentence that changed my life:
“No,” he answered. “You have to live what you are.”
That day and that journey would turn around my whole life.
The pilgrimage opened a new universe for me: (more…)
ALTARS /PART TWO:
sanctuary for our souls
It’s dawn. Unspoken and untouched. The chants of sacred OMs fill the space with the vibration of welcoming innocence. Then silence for a moment before one opens the gate to sing the Subrabatham. This ancient Sanskrit prayer awakens God in us. Then we sink into our Meditation. God is Love is a prayer wheel rotating in our hearts. Here we are one. I can feel each soul in the room, each one’s own unique presence.
In La Lumière, the ashram I built in South France, we gather in the morning and unite in oneness. We also gather in daily evening meditation to calm down our souls and to free ourselves from the naturally accumulated residues of daily life.
We gather in the temple, where an altar offers sanctuary. It’s a place untouched by the world, where the soul feels free to expand in divinity.
For me, opening the morning is soft and kind. Diving into my connection with God first initiates a flow for my whole day and opens my source of power. Here I am. Before the day starts and every evening for 30 minutes I center myself beyond the texture of the world. Mediation takes me inside in myself. Here is God and love. I can expand, be free and be light.

My personal altar style combines the monastic moment of serenity embracing Christ love and the sacred beauty of Hindu wisdom and the Goddess.
A personal Altar is dedicated to our inner world and fills up with positive vibes in every Mediation. It is a spiritual island in our busy world. What we see in the altar reflects our souls. Here you can find shelter for inner sanctuary in silence.
An Altar is a place dedicated to the unlimited world. While the world turns, the sacred space around the altar stands still. It’s a place of direct alignment. No object is without meaning and the matter has her natural order. The momentum breathes.
A space for the primal heart
Your personal altar filled with rituals will offer you a home for your soul. It’s not a matter of religion, style or environment. Altars will breathe divinities wherever you give them a place. It’s a sanctuary in the middle of a chaotic world. Just for you and your soul.
The Durga shrine
My personal reminder in the center of all hearts:
Eternity is beyond illusions.

SHIFT IT!
part one: Why now
: that world financial markets crash
: that earthquakes tremble our minds
: that corruption and fraud shine through transparency
: that tsunamis flood our emotions
: that Fukushima exploded in our minds
: that wiki shows the leaks in our society
: that new revolutions are staged by masses in the streets
: that egos are in mega crisis: that social media is out of control
: that indigenous create sacred prophecies
: that new technologies astound
: that consciousness shifts
: that the universe shows its black hole
: that grassroots grow between the toes of giants
: that an apple changes our ways of communicating
: that healing is a promise on a rising horizon
: that 3 women share the Nobel Peace Prize
: that Jesus the Book wished to be born?
Today’s big brokers’ comforting dream during the night is about recession. They pray for a big crash, knowing that they can make their greatest opportunities – making money – from a fallen market, but only for those who know how to capitalize on it.
It’s time to dare to strike out to new dimensions. (more…)
ONE CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH ALTARS: CREATING A SACRED FUNNEL
I build altars everywhere,
because I am convinced of their healing vibes.
Here starts the series:
altars /part one:
offering uplifting, prominent space to the spirits
altar
From the Latin “altare” (plural = altaria), probably originally meaning “burnt offerings” (Latin “adolere” = “to worship, to offer sacrifice, to honor by burning sacrifices to”), but influenced by Latin “altus”, meaning “high.”source: www.dictionary.com
sacred allures
- Altars attract the spirit into everyday matter.
- When you invest deeply in something that raises your spirit every time you see it, it will inspire you back. When you create meaning in your own alter rituals, specific energies come to life.
- Altars create little vortexes that attract divine flow.
- They stimulate intuitive consciousness of the positive awareness of universal abundance.
gods and goddesses are amazing collaborators
Ganesha, the divine remover of obstacles, helps to remove procrastination.
STARTING WHERE I AM:
I WANT TO GROW WITH YOU
Thank you
You are reading this right now. I feel you and your heart beat. Connections are the most precious jewels we share. May the Universe bless our encounter and give us both the grace to grow.
Announcing…
I am so happy to announce the birth seeds of “www.thefemalegrail.com.”
We are online!
Whenever we enter a new stage in our life, we die and are reborn at the same time. Finding one’s own sacred voice is another rebirth, one of millions whenever a new era starts. Thefemalegrail.com is a rebirth for me. I am alive. I am ready to put myself in the line of fire.
A letter to the tribe
Hello dearest friends, my tribe, strangers, searchers, finders, followers, interested people, curious people, great souls…
It is my life story that brought me here.
The life story of the Female Grail began when I was 24, when in a splash of light, Jesus appeared to me and ignited a revolution of my life and my Self. Twenty years later, the publication of book number two in a three-part series, Walking with Jesus, is forthcoming, and we have begun recording book number three (more on that soon).
Over these years, I have become a revolutionary myself. The deeper I remember my story, the more my life turns into a blissful journey of world-changing visions and a passionate rebellion for the divine.
Some things I know:
1
Aligning with our own sacred path is salvation.
Life in all aspects is initiation itself. Self-realization turns our life into a walk of real “ fame” when we remember our heaven.
The www.thefemalegrail.com is a reminder that the future is now and we have a big opportunity to open a new chapter of humanity on earth, choosing freely our self-defined spirituality.
2
I am not a Christian. I have experienced the abundance of Christ love and I will share it with you. On the Female Grail blog I will write about the teachings of Jesus how I understood them when I walked with him. I thrive on the memory of the thrilling feelings of those days, when divine love was truly alive.
3
I adore the Internet as the mirror to our consciousness, with all its possibilities. I see social media as paradigm shift for transparent consciousness, inspirational truth, and the voice of people co-creating our life on earth.

TheFemaleGrail.com will offer you my sacred feminine voice inspiring truth, curiosity for new perspectives about how Cosmic Christ love shifts, ideas for change, my insight from universal downloads, creative inspirations, enlightened business and enlightened life style, offerings that inspire me and my story.
I bow. To you and the divine creation.
Love always,
Durga

"Durga was able to see what was, for me, a deep inkling and a hidden desire. She articulated her vision for my talent as if it were present here and now, and gave me a strategy to see it through.

When I get stuck, I return to our conversation, remember what she saw for me, remember that it felt really right, and return to the work to make it so."
