To Dance with Dakinis is a study of the universal law of cause and effect, how events in our life, our deeds, thoughts, and reactions impel the process of rebirth. The story begins in 12th century Tibet, with a woman's search for the Goddess and the deeper truths of life. You meet ordinary people dealing with human suffering and you visit magical lakes and mountains. You also meet the great Mother, and through her dakinis, adepts, gurus, and loving souls who guide us life after life, without revealing their spiritual stature. Then we meet the great Guru Rinpoche, known to Tibetans as Padmasambhava. We will learn more of the spiritual history of Tibet and India and the deep interconnection of these two great civilizations. The story unravels the threads that link together three lives. Through a crisis that Padma, our main character encounters, she is led to a Master who helps awaken memories of her previous life in medieval France and an earlier life in China, during which events were set in motion that led to the crisis she now faced. This book recounts deeply touching tales of her experiences and learnings amidst the cultural settings of the times she lived in. In the process of her journey, great teachings are conveyed, teachings that we can apply to our lives today. Call it Life's sense of humor or divine justice, that the person you resented the very sight of, becomes a dear relative in the next; an illiterate low-caste woman in one life is reborn as a queen; the unfulfilled love of one life comes to ultimate fruition in another one; and so much more. It may suddenly strike you that all our feelings of resentment, anger or pride are ultimately futile—and what a liberating realization that is! Life doesn't forget anything – neither your good deeds and vows, nor your wrong deeds or thoughts that you tried to hide from all. Dena Merriam began working in the inter-faith movement in the late 1990s when she served as Vice Chair of the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders held at the United Nation in New York in the year 2000. She subsequently convened a meeting of women religious and spiritual leaders at the Palais des Nations in Geneva and from that gathering founded the Global Peace Initiative of Women (GPIW) in 2002, an organization chaired by a multi-faith group of women spiritual leaders.

The purpose of the Alliance is to bring together meditation teachers and practitioners in a collective effort to uplift and transform society, while caring for and honoring our Mother Earth. For over 40 years, Dena Merriam has been a student of Paramahansa Yogananda and a practitioner of Kriya Yoga meditation. She is also a long-time student of the great texts of the Vedic tradition.

This book is told through the voice of a dancer in ancient Dwarka, a city on the western coast of India. It was on a pilgrimage to Dwarka a few years ago that Dena experienced her life. But even though this book recounts events in her life and follows her through three incarnations, this story is not truly about her but about Rukmini, the one who was working behind the scenes, as Rukmini and Shri Krishna set the framework for the era that was beginning to unfold. This narrative shows how Rukmini Mata enabled those around her to fulfil samskaras from past births―the karma one has accrued in the cycle of life, death, and rebirth―bringing closure to unfinished relationships and desires. Dena include many stories told by women to other women, recounted by those living in Dwarka in close association with Rukmini, in the hope of showing how an incarnation of the Universal Mother comes to guide an evolving humanity.

It could have been while chanting at a kirtan, while at a spiritual retreat or in a temple, while looking at a photo or reading a book, or as in some of the more extraordinary stories, when he shows up on a desperate woman's doorstep in France, brings years of abuse to an end for a nine-year-old child in Australia, dances on a beach in Miami, or appears to a policeman in Taos, New Mexico. WHISPER IN THE HEART BOOK -https://www.amazon.com/Whisper-Heart-Presence-Maharajji-Spirituality/dp/1647226686 _____________________________________TICKETS LIVE - EASTFOREST.ORG/TOUR"CEREMONY TOUR"11.01 Boulder, CO* [join waitlist]11.02 Salt Lake City, UT11.03 Boise, ID11.04 Vancouver, Can11.06 Seattle, WA11.08 Portland, OR11.10 Nevada City, CA*11.11 San Francisco, CA11.12 Santa Cruz, CA11.13 Los Angeles, CA11.15 Las Vegas, CA11.16 San Diego, CA11.17 Phoenix, AZ11.19 Santa Fe, AZ11.20 Austin, TX*Seated Venue-Performancesign up for the mailing list at eastforest.org to stay in the loop on early tickets.+ JOURNEY SPACE LIVE - Exclusive world premiere listening events of new East Forest psychedelic guidance music and online facilitation with JourneySpace.com, Sept 24 and Oct 22nd.Join our East Forest COUNCIL on Patreon.  Monthly Zoom Council, podcast exclusives, live-streams, and more. Listen to East Forest music:  "IN" - the latest full album  release from East Forest - LISTEN NOW: Spotify / AppleListen to East Forest guided meditations on Spotify & AppleOrder a vinyl, dad hats, sheet music, original perfume oils, and more: http://eastforest.orgPlease rate Ten Laws with East Forest in iTunesAnd on Spotify★★★★★Sign up to learn about new retreats, shows in your area, and to join the community.Stay in the flow:Mothership:  http://eastforest.org/IG:  https://www.instagram.com/eastforest/

“Your story is as powerful as your antagonist”Today and in preparation for Halloween, The Mexican Celebration of “The Day of the Dead”, and the Celtic New Year of Samhain. we have a UNIQUE podcast episode, as we have Shiva Baum & Radha Baum, a mother and son talking about:- The Presence of the Muse- The spiritual background that supported the muse to exist- An almost fatal car accident- The Power of a worthy opponent- The co-authoring of the book ISABELLA CASTASPELLA, given by spirit that came through - - - Radha Baum and written brilliantly by her friend for over 50 years, Parvati Markus.Parvati Markus has been midwifing spiritually-oriented books ever since she helped edit Ram Dass' classic "Be Here Now.".

Books she has edited have been published by Hay House, Inner Traditions, Simon & Schuster, Contemporary/McGraw Hill, Lotus Press, and others. She has helped with spiritual organizations (as past President of the Board of the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram and Hanuman Temple in Taos, NM) and events (as a development consultant for the Global Peace Initiative of Women).

She also suffered a broken wrist, deep bruising, and PTSD from the trauma. She is still in constant pain.Both Parvati & Radha knew they had to birth this book into the world to serve all the children ( of all ages) in humanity.ISABELLA CASTASPELLA is a unique book of ten chapters, all in verse. It tells the story of Izzy's struggles with Lavinia LaMeanie, a nasty witch who is always trying to make life miserable for Izzy and her friends.Each of Izzy's friends expresses a particular aspect or behavior of childhood. Messy Tessy has trouble finding her crystal ball because she doesn't pick up after herself; MoonTune doubts his abilities as a musician; Daizy Dew is an artist who tends to be “scatter-brained”; Angel Cruz, the soccer champ, has trouble reading. Then there are the animals: Myron, a super-smart frog, becomes Izzy's pet; Maxine is a very particular cat; and Messy Tessy's pet Bruno, the lovable, ever-hungry bulldog, runs into trouble with mean old Lavinia LaMeanie. And let's not forget Witchie the Wise; even magical little witches need a mentor.Many children face problems like Daizy Dew's ADHD or Angel Cruz's dyslexia, but here they are never labeled as such. Their different ethnicities are also never mentioned. Each is accepted as is and treated with kindness.The friends find their strengths and coalesce into a team that wards off Lavinia's efforts, utilizing more heart than magic. The only one using her magical powers in a mean way is Lavinia LaMeanie, the bully seeking revenge, who in the end is defeated by the power of love.You can find the book here: https://amzn.to/3rQlG50- Follow Radha Baum on IG: https://www.instagram.com/radhabaum/- Follow Radha on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/radhab108/- To Support the Go Fund Me for the healing of Radha visit this link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/mfenb-radha-baum-needs-your-loving-supportVisit https://delaflorteachings.com/faith to receive the “21 Days of Faith in Action Course” as our gift to you.Podcast sponsored by Delaflor Teachings International and produced by Asynd Media.

During her years of meditation, many vivid memories of past births began to emerge for Dena Merriam, revealing an intricate and subtle pattern of cause and effect, the law of karmic unfolding.

A JOURNEY THROUGH LIFETIMES with DENA MERRIAM   “To make steel, you have to go through fire.” – author Dena Merriam, on growth through challenges   “The foundation of the Universe is love.” – author Dena Merriam       Episode Summary:   Today we talk about past lives, past lives, and past lives!   Dena Merriam is an author, storyteller and founder of the Global Peace Initiative for Women -- bringing spiritual resources to address critical global challenges, such as conflict, social justice, and ecological scarring of the earth.   Her first book “Journey Through Time, a Spiritual Memoir of Life, Death and Rebirth” takes us on a journey back through seven consecutive lives, revealing the intricate patterns that emerge as one life leads into another. Her second book, “The Untold Stories of Sita, an Empowering Tale for Our Time” takes us back to a much earlier age, several thousand years BCE to a pre-patriarchal era when humanity had not fully separated itself from the natural world. Her third book, “When the Bright Moon Rises: The Awakening of Ancient Memories”, is currently out. She has a fourth book in the works.     Listen in to hear how Dena came to know all of her previous lives and the tapestry of interconnectedness between them.         Topics We Discuss: [3:55]  Dena's spontaneous recollection of 7 previous and interconnected lives, and her investigation in today's world to validate her memories. Recalling pre-war Russia and WW2 in Europe while trying to navigate her current life. Being skeptical at first, Dena traveled to those locations to confirm that her memories were valid.   [7:18] How patterns, aspirations and desires emerged like a beautiful mandala interweaving lives.   [8:10] there's no set timeframe on how long you have to wait to come back into a new incarnation. The flexibility of time in non-[physical dimensions. When the conditions are right, we “take life”.   [9:55] How people and places stimulate her ancient memories.   [11:20] Visiting a temple in India caused spontaneous recollection of a painful experience of love lost. A time without warfare. A time of simple pleasures and peaceful, joyful life.   [14:52] Recalling a life in China, the wisdom of the Tao, and a great spiritual depth.   [16:21] Spiritual lessons, knowledge, wisdom, awakenings. How her experiences changed her relationship with death, which she calls the next frontier of science. Along with acknowledging other dimensional beings – beings we don't see. Understanding consciousness separate from the material form, separate from the body.   [18:52] An exercise: take down the highlights of this life – the best and the worst of it.   [19:40] The foundation of the universe is love. The mind boggling patience and love that is poured from these other realms.   [20:56] The alignment for Dena to found the Global Peace Initiative for Women with lessons from previous lives. Recollections from previous pre-patriarchal times. The contribution to create more gender balance.   [27:31] Future life memories, or life blueprints, or likely scenarios, or potentialities. How we can tap into and create our future.   [30:50] Exercise: what is left undone for you?   [32:06] Most people are creating unconsciously; reacting to circumstances vs consciously creating.   [32:38] The two reasons to reincarnate: karma, or service. (Reference “Life, Death and the Space Between” episode #231 “Being Ram Dass”.)   [35:46] The complexity of karma. Process of learning, awakening, rectifying imbalances. Our own thought and behavior habits/patterns. Western misunderstanding of the concept of karma.   [38:44] Dena's biggest takeaways... The power of love from the great teachers and the guidance we receive. The overwhelming outpouring of love from beings that we cannot see.   [41:01] Dena's most significant lifetimes. The biggest moments of transformation.   [42:33] A fully awakened person remembers all their lifetimes and history. Akashic records.   [43:51] Many people have glimpses of past lives. Self-reflection plus meditation is a path toward remembering. We just need ask for help. [44:30] Dena answers Amy's speed round questions.   FOLLOW Dena Merriam   You can find Dena Merriam's writings wherever books are sold.   You can find out more about the Global Peace Initiative for Women here: Website     SUPPORT DR.

Dena Merriam, the founder of the Global Peace Initiative of Women, shares her third book, When the Bright Moon Rises: The Awakening of Ancient Memories. Dena shares a rich and extensive story of her past lives that begins in Vedic India around the 9th century B.C.E. A sweeping story of love and compassion and living with grace and inner peace.

Dena is a long-time meditation practitioner in the lineage of Kriya Yoga. She came in contact with her guru Paramhansa Yogananda at the age of 20, long after he had left his physical form, and devoted many years to practicing his teachings and studying the texts of the ancient Vedic tradition. During her years of meditation, many vivid memories of past births began to emerge, revealing an intricate and subtle patten of cause and effect, the law of karmic unfolding. These memories became the subject of her books. The purpose of sharing these intimate stories was to help people see the long arch of their life, whether they retain memories or not, to help overcome fear and anxiety about death, to understand more fully the workings of cause and effect and to know that each one of us, moment to moment, is creating the blueprint for our future. Her first book My Journey through Time: A Spiritual Memoir of Life, Death and Rebirth takes Dena on a journey back through seven consecutive lives, revealing the intricate patterns that emerge as one life leads into another, picking up and furthering themes initiated at an earlier time. Her second book The Untold Story of Sita: An Empowering Tale for our Time takes the reader back to a much earlier age, several thousand years b.c.e. to a pre-patriarchal era when humanity had not fully separated itself from the natural world. There are many messages from that time that are particularly relevant today. A third book called When the Bright Moon Rises: Awakening Ancient Memories will be released in the fall of 2020. A fourth book is also in the works: The Seeds of Satya Yuga recounts memories of a life in a far higher age and how events in that life effected subsequent births, carving a path for the soul's awakening. Dena's story is the story of each one of us, of course with much variation. The history of each one of us is filled with patterns and interweavings, that unfolding of so many events, the birth and fulfillment of desires and aspirations, loss and gain, all of which have made us who we are today. While on her own spiritual journey of awakening, Dena has been active in the public sphere. Having founded the non-profit organization The Global Peace Initiative of Women in 2002, she has worked to bring spiritual voices to address global challenges. She has spoken in many forums on the need for a shift in consciousness if we are to address successfully ecological decline, economic and gender imbalance, climate instability, violence and other critical issues. Before writing about her own spiritual experiences, Dena wrote about art and spirituality, publishing a number of books on contemporary artists and for some years editing the magazine Sculpture Review. She received her Master's Degree from Columbia University, has served on numerous boards and in 2014 received the Niwano Peace Prize for her international work.

When the Bright Moon Rises is first and foremost a love story: love between the sages and the cosmic forces known as the deities, love of the sages for the people, and love between individuals seeking to express this universal force of love that exist within all of us. It is also a study of karma, the cosmic law of cause and effect. This narrative begins in Vedic India, around the 9th century BCE, with the meeting of two people and the seeding of a love that cannot be fulfilled but which comes to fruition nearly 10,000 years later during the Tang Empire in China, where they are reborn as the renown poet Li Bai and his poet wife. The awakening of her memories of previous births initiates an inner struggle that is only resolved under the guidance of her Daoist Master. This is her story. Dena is an author, storyteller, and the founder and convener of the Global Peace Initiative of Women.  Bringing spiritual resources to address critical global challenges, such as conflict, social justice, and ecological scarring of the earth.  Over the years sshe has worked to bring greater gender balance and balance between the Abrahamic and Dharma- based religious traditions for a more inclusive interfaith movement.

On this episode, Laura Chandler is joined by writer, activist, and Founder of the Global Peace Initiative of Women, Dena Merriam, to talk about her latest book, When the Bright Moon Rises: The Awakening of Ancient Memories. The book spans several periods from Vedic India to the Han and Tang Dynasties of China. It is an eloquent testimony to the evolution of a soul and the lessons learned over lifetimes. Dena and Laura discuss the remarkable awakening that was the impetus for writing the book, as well as the significance of the times we are living in and the part past lives play in understanding our current life. Dena is the author of two other books, The Untold Story of Sita: An Empowering Tale for Our Time and My Journey Through Time. In addition to being the Founder of the Global Peace Initiative of Women (GPIW), Dena was the Vice Chair of the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders held at the United Nations in New York in the year 2000.

Our featured music is from Rajeev Taranath, one of India's foremost classical musicians, and a master of the sarod. His career spans over four decades and he was a distinguished disciple of the late legendary maestro Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. Rajeev has received many honors including India's highest government award in the arts, the esteemed Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 2000.

Some people experience past life memories through past life regression. Dena's memories returned spontaneously in conjunction with her meditation practice.Dena says the memory of her past lives was so vivid she would enter a location and then realize it was familiar and that would trigger vivid scenery and other images of that past incarnation. When the Bright Moon Rises: The Awakening of Ancient Memories is Dena's third book about her past life memories. She writes in novel form about a love story that spans 10,000 years and she includes the between life time encounters with a spirit guide who offers support and coaching in the interim. The locations are India and China. We learn through the characters about the history of the eras and what it might be like to experience knowing the purpose of each incarnation and knowing death is not final.Past life awareness can sometimes offer healing in the present incarnation. Dena's memories from this past life saga have reconnected her to a love of poetry. And now the poems have begun to flow again. ---   Bio: Dena is a long-time meditation practitioner in the lineage of Kriya Yoga.

Modern-day mystic, Episcopal priest, and scholar Cynthia Bourgeault joins Terry to explore what it is to live and imagine from the “eye of the heart” in a seemingly apocalyptic world. They reflect on how each of them is relating to death and also discovering new strength and guidance by keeping the company of saints, sages, and our courageous ancestors — one of the most important spiritual fruits of awakening into the “imaginal realm.” Cynthia suggests we aspire to “live the laws of the next world”, like those who began building great cathedrals they knew they wouldn’t live to see completed.  Cynthia Bourgeault has been a way-shower for many thousands of people around the world, sharing the riches of Christian, Sufi, and Gurdjieffian contemplative practices, as well as serving as a fierce constructive critic. She is a long-time teacher of the meditative practice of Centering Prayer, having worked closely with Thomas Keating, Bruno Barnhart, and Richard Rohr, and many other contemplative teachers and leaders, as well as a core faculty member of the Center for Action & Contemplation. She is also a member of the Global Peace Initiative for Women Contemplative Council and a founding Director of both The Contemplative Society and the Aspen Wisdom School. Cynthia is the author of many books including The Heart of Centering Prayer, The Wisdom Jesus, The Wisdom Way of Knowing, and Love is Stronger than Death. Her newest book, Eye of the Heart, is a spiritual journey into the “Imaginal Realm” — an energetic realm well known to the mystical traditions and associated with the world of dreams, prophecy, and a higher vision of our human purpose that is both evolutionary and collective.  Here are some additional questions they explore: Can we become so intimate with our inevitable death, that we become impartial, courageous, and more profoundly alive? How can we “keep the good company” of the great contemplatives and our now-deceased mentors during times of darkness? How can we “live the laws of the next world” and become the “strange attractors” of wisdom to which others can gravitate? What is the imaginal realm according to Christian mysticism? How might we learn to see with “the eye of the heart”?

Suhag Shukla talks with Dena Merriam, author and interfaith activist ("My Journey Through Time: A Spiritual Memoir of Life, Death, and Rebirth; "The Untold Story of Sita: An Empowering Tale For Our Time"; Global Peace Initiative of Women), about her journey into Hinduism, her experience and visions of past lives during travels in India, and more.

On this episode, Dena Merriam, Founder of the Global Peace Initiative for Women (GPIW), joins Laura Chandler for an engaging conversation on diverse topics such as climate crisis, the Me Too movement, past lives, and the significance of the sacred feminine in the world today.

The book delivers an important message for our times, offering a new understanding of feminine wisdom and the intelligence of the natural world. In addition to her work with the GPIW, Dena served as Vice Chair of the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders held at the United Nations in New York in the year 2000.

The Untold Story of Sita: An Empowering Tale for our Time, by Dena Merriam, takes a new look at the classic Ramayana by tearing away the patriarchal lens through which the story is traditionally viewed. In the traditional account, Sita is a secondary figure, and her true nature is hard to access. In this story, told by the people of Sita’s household, the role of the sacred feminine is predominant. Sita is a beloved figure throughout Southeast Asia. Her life and message extends beyond and particularly relevant for the modern age when a new understanding of feminine wisdom and leadership is needed, and when we are facing an unprecedented ecological crisis. Mata Sita and Sri Ram were instrumental in setting the foundation for a new civilization during a time of transition from one era, or yuga, to another. We stand at a similar time in history, where we are experiencing the passing of one era and intuitively feel the birthing of another, as yet unknown. One thing seems inevitable, however, that the new society we are striving for must be ecologically-based. There is an excellent value in looking to lessons of the past to move forward. Dena Merriam is the Founder and Convener of the Global Peace Initiative of Women, bringing spiritual resources to address critical global challenges, such as conflict, social justice, and ecological scarring of the earth. She received her Master’s Degree from Columbia University in sacred literature. Dena has served on the boards of the Harvard Center for the Study of World Religions. In 2014 she received the Niwano Peace Prize for her interfaith peace efforts. Join Dena Merriam and me on Tuesday, July 16, 10-11 A.M. CT US. We will be having a conversation about her remarkable spiritual journey, and her latest book, The Untold Story of Sita.

A Journey Through Time… Examining Past Lives, Reincarnation, and the Materialization of our Present Realities Author and peace activist Dena Merriam's new book “My Journey Through Time” tells the story of how the events and people she has encountered in life served to awaken memories of past births, memories that help her to understand her current life and provide spiritual direction and guidance. As she remembered past teachers and loved ones, she realized that the most important message is the continuation of these relationships through time...through death and rebirth. The body may perish, but love continues, only to be reawakened at another point in time. We meet old friends again and again in different forms and situations to continue what was left unsaid and undone. Join us for an enlightening conversation on bridging our past and present life experiences. Dena Merriam is the Founder and Convener of the Global Peace Initiative of Women (GPIW), bringing spiritual resources to address critical global challenges, such as conflict, social justice, and ecological scarring of the earth.

Aired Wednesday, 11 July 2018, 8:00 PM ETDena Merriam – My Journey Through TimeAstrophysicist, author and host of Cosmos, and skeptic Carl Sagan once asked the Dali Lama what he would do if reincarnation was disproved by science. The Dali Lama, with his great wisdom and equally great sense of humor responded, “If science can disprove reincarnation, Tibetan Buddhism would abandon reincarnation… but it’s going to be mighty hard to disprove reincarnation.” What if we do come back, lifetime after lifetime?

My Journey Through Time: A Spiritual Memoir of Life, Death, and Rebirth ~ Dena Merriam My Journey Through Time is a spiritual memoir that sheds light on the workings of karma— the law of cause and effect that creates one’s present circumstances and relationships—as we see it unfold through Dena’s vivid memories of her previous births. We travel back in time as Dena learns of a life in early 20th century Russia, ranging from the overthrow of the Czar through Nazi Germany; then it’s back further to a life in early 19th century America in the Deep South. With each past life, you can see the way in which it has impacted her present life, how it has stemmed from the end of the previous birth, and how it will influence her next life.

Based on Zechariah 12,14 Today were living in a time when peace initiatives are again being pushed, BIbi Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel is being pressured to finalize a peace deal before Obama leaves office.

Zechariah chapter 12 and 14 show us that the world will be consumed with what happens with Jerusalem and completely preoccupied with dividing the land of Israel and internationalizing Jerusalem, as well, the world will eventually attack Jerusalem in order to force the will of the world upon the Israeli nation. It will be so bad for Jerusalem that The Messiah Jesus will return to stop the carnage. This is where we are at in our world today. We are living in the day of the return of the Messiah!
