Understand Your Body
You, as a woman, are innately a sensual creature. You ultimately have a strong desire to feel good in your body whether you realize it or not.
If you do anything that doesn’t nurture this, you obstruct your efforts to develop a deeper understanding of yourself. You cut yourself off from your inherent nature as a women and disconnect from your body’s wisdom. If you are harsh to your body, then you cut off your ability to hear everything it wants to tell you. Your body is both wise and powerful.
Understand that as a woman, you are an emotional, feeling, sensitive, sensual and complex person. You need a lot of love and reassurance. Be hyper vigilant about your needs and your body’s needs. Bear in mind that we live in a masculine-oriented world. That means we are surrounded by a lot of masculine qualities expressed in our daily lives. Masculine qualities include being focused and driven, with a “get it done” type of energy. Masculine qualities also include being logical, rational and assertive. This is good, and it’s important to balance the masculine with feminine qualities such as being receptive, nurturing, allowing and intuitive. In end effect, the masculine is steady, stable and strong; the feminine is flexible, fluid and flowing.
You may have seen the illustration depicting an operating switch for a man and one for a woman. The operating box for the man has a simple on and off switch. The operating switch for the woman contains various switches, dials, valves and regulators. The world we live in was built from an on or off point of view, giving no space for anything in between. You, as a woman, are beautifully complex. You are different from moment to moment. Some days are better than others. Some hours of the day are busier than others. You don’t live in an on or off body…you live in a body that flows and constantly moves and changes.
I am not saying that men are not complex. Men have challenges and specific needs as well. We all have masculine and feminine energies in us. As all of us awaken our compassionate, intuitive, more receptive side, we will find harmony, especially with the opposite sex. This will create a better world. Since a woman’s body holds the feminine, it is up to us to lead the way. You are a leader of the softer, intuitive, more receptive energies. That doesn’t mean you are less powerful. Your power comes from those energies. Cultivating those energies begins with applying them to the relationship you have with your body.
We as women must “build a new world” that is more accommodating to our feminine nature. What can you do today or this week to be softer, intuitive or more receptive? What can you do to cultivate your feminine nature? Maybe slow down, honor your rhythms, stop pushing yourself, stop pushing others, accept what is, open your heart, listen with presence, show compassion, speak your truth gently and consciously, talk sweet to yourself or even enjoy being a couch potato guilt free. If you are running at a fast pace you are not giving your feminine nature room to express herself. You are a leader of love. Honor your feminine soul.
Much love,
