Meditation Secrets for Women
Discovering Your Passion, Pleasure, and Inner Peace
By Camille Maurine and Lorin Roche, Ph.D.
(HarperOne, 2001)
The twelve Meditation Secrets for Women encompass a full mandala of what women need to know to thrive in meditation, creativity, and love. I call this our female energy ecology.
The book represents a complete body of work. It is based on my lifetime of dedicated exploration, beginning with my first formal meditation in 1972 to developing this approach and teaching thousands of women (and always learning). Along the way, these practices have taken on depth with my training as a dancer and body therapist, studies in Jungian psychology, yoga, and immersion in Continuum Movement since the early 80’s.
Plus…for 39 years now I've been cross-pollinating with Dr. Lorin Roche, my husband and co-author, and one of the most comprehensive and insightful meditation teachers on the Planet. Our journey of co-creation and intimacy is not only a prime source for these Meditation Secrets, but evidence of their effectiveness – I practice them every day!
If you are not familiar with the book, you may wonder what type of meditation we propose. This approach does not adhere to a specific tradition, yet it is informed by many. No dogma here. Lorin and I know from our decades of teaching that women are natural meditators. Rather than impose a structure from the outside, in this course, you learn to claim and cooperate with your innate wisdom to find healthy, pleasurable ways to meditate. We call this Instinctive Meditation.
Whether you are a teacher of yoga or meditation or new on the path, Meditation Secrets for Women gives you a deep foundation in what works for the female body and psyche, and for your individual nature and life.

Female meditative practices are not “one size fits all.” No dry and rigid discipline for us. Women must have more than one entry into meditation, so that we can meet ourselves in a healthy way no matter what is going on in our world, in our bodies, and in our hearts. That’s why the book offers 12 Secrets – luscious, love-drenched, life-giving gateways to the Self.
It’s essential to find what works for you and your individual life, awareness practices that you love and want to do. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced inner traveler, your practice should evolve as you evolve – now, doesn’t that just make sense?
When Meditation Secrets for Women came out in 2001, published by HarperOne, it was the #1 bestselling product under $25 on Amazon. It struck a chord of truth. That chord is resonating even more strongly now!
Since then the book has inspired an online course which I have taught for the past seven years and a community of practitioners and teachers around the world.
For the past seven years, I taught a yearlong program in Meditation Secrets for Women. This year I am offering several new possibilities for us to go deeper into the Secrets together. Contact me to stay informed.
These explorations illuminate the necessity for this feminine approach to inner practices, and why it is more effective and evolutionary than traditional meditation. We learn about tending our female energy ecology and how that practice helps us thrive in all the circumstances of our life. Come home to yourself, your body, and your deep essential nature.
The twelve Secrets describe the journey we take to in meditation to cultivate intimacy on all the essential levels – with our Self, with Nature, and with the evolutionary energies of Creation – what I call Living in Love's Body. These Secrets are gathered into four main themes:
Strengthening Inner Roots
In the first 3 Secrets, you deepen the connection to your own essence and fertile inner ground. Together they create a powerful resource that unfolds and evolves through the rest of the Secrets.
Tending the Heart
After establishing a powerful foundation, we now tend the tender energies of the Heart.
Liberating Shakti
We enter the Feminine Mysteries, opening to natural energy and freedom. Learn to sense the flow of life force, or shakti – your innate, creative feminine power.
Embodying Soul in the World
Diving to the very depths of the Soul, we emerge and bring that gift to the world.
