Ep186: Meditation Secrets For Women - Camille Maurine

Guru Viking Podcast

In this episode I am joined by Camille Maurine, meditation mentor, dancer, and author of ‘Meditation Secrets For Women’ written with her husband Dr Lorin Roche. Camille describes her turbulent upbringing and how her discovery of practices of mediation and embodiment saw her embark on over 50 years of adventure and exploration. Camille recalls her performance career in dance and theatre, how she used movement to learn to feel her emotions, and the practices she uses to process strong feeling. Camille recounts meeting Lorin Roche at a time when she had rejected romantic relationships, and how she drew on inner processes and practices to open into relationship with him. Camille also discusses meditation secrets for women, why one should not fear the depths, how to honour one’s rhythms, and reflects on the limitations of male-oriented religious and spiritual systems. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep186-meditation-secrets-for-women-camille-maurine Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast’. … Topics Include: 00:00 - Intro 01:04 - Camille’s upbringing 05:32 - Discovering dance at the time of her mother’s death 06:40 - The path of spirituality, creativity, and love 10:16 - Studying philosophy and looking for the essence in all 12:51 - Marriage to Lorin Roche 15:09 - Learning how to feel emotion 19:00 - Calling the inner beloved 20:32 - Camille leads a drinking practice 22:26 - Meeting Lorin Roche 28:13 - Empowerment and vulnerability 30:14 - From inner marriage to relationship with Lorin 36:25 - When love feels like dying 38:49 - Connection and awe 40:12 - Practices for working with strong emotion and deep patterns 45:16 - Primal, primary, and primordial creativity 52:39 - Meditation Secrets For Women 57:10 - Do not fear the depths 01:01:08 - Honouring your rhythms and hormonal cycles 01:05:02 - Male-oriented religions and spiritual traditions 01:09:37 - Tragic misunderstanding about meditation 01:13:02 - Camille’s contribution to Lorin’s ‘Radiance Sutras’ rendering of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra 01:19:40 - Training meditation teachers 01:26:30 - Concluding remarks … Previous episodes with Lorin here: - https://www.guruviking.com/the-guru-viking-interviews-ep1-lorin-roche-phd/ - https://www.guruviking.com/guru-viking-interviews-ep6-lorin-roche-phd/ - https://www.guruviking.com/ep30-lorin-roche-pandemic-edition-guru-viking-podcast/ - https://www.guruviking.com/ep55-lorin-roche-instinctive-meditation/ To find out more about Camille visit:- https://www.camillemaurine.com/ - www.meditationtt.com - www.radiancesutras.com For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com/ Music 'Deva Dasi' by Steve James
