0:00:09.577,0:01:50.796
(Music)

0:01:50.796,0:01:54.861
(Applause)

0:01:54.861,0:02:01.334
Thank you.

0:02:01.334,0:02:04.809
Wow, that was fun.

0:02:04.809,0:02:07.639
Ok, let's get naked![br](Laughter)

0:02:07.639,0:02:09.276
Ready, set, strip!

0:02:09.276,0:02:11.360
No, teasing, I'm joking!

0:02:11.360,0:02:14.331
The kind of naked that I'm referring to

0:02:14.331,0:02:18.453
is the naked that makes you[br]squirm on the inside.

0:02:18.453,0:02:21.337
It's naked of the heart.

0:02:21.337,0:02:24.807
Naked to the soul. [br]Naked to the truth,

0:02:24.807,0:02:27.790
which is what I want to share[br]with you today as the truth

0:02:27.790,0:02:30.933
about men, women[br]and the Erotic Creature.

0:02:30.933,0:02:35.103
But it's going to require some stripping[br]on both of our parts.

0:02:35.103,0:02:37.995
I need you to strip away[br]all those false pretenses

0:02:37.995,0:02:40.406
as ideas you have about the female body

0:02:40.406,0:02:43.416
and I need you to strip your minds wide open.

0:02:43.416,0:02:46.824
So this is my laboratory

0:02:46.824,0:02:49.235
where I've spent the last 12 years[br]guiding women

0:02:49.235,0:02:53.549
toward awakening their [br]feminine body movement

0:02:53.549,0:02:55.795
which awakens their feminine nature

0:02:55.795,0:02:59.689
which awakens what I call [br]their Erotic Creature.

0:02:59.689,0:03:02.497
Every woman on the planet[br]has an Erotic Creature.

0:03:02.497,0:03:05.933
She's the primal feminine body.

0:03:05.933,0:03:10.209
She's the wild, untamed, [br]sexual alter ego

0:03:10.209,0:03:12.868
that lives deep within.

0:03:12.868,0:03:17.302
Very often she's buried[br]under furrowed brows,

0:03:17.302,0:03:19.971
tensed frozen bodies, [br]judgmental thoughts and fear,

0:03:19.971,0:03:21.835
but she is there.

0:03:21.835,0:03:23.599
And when you awaken her

0:03:23.599,0:03:26.502
and you integrate her into your being,

0:03:26.502,0:03:29.335
it sends you into a place of wholeness

0:03:29.335,0:03:32.701
and this wholeness[br]of the feminine is capable

0:03:32.701,0:03:36.779
of elevating every living creature[br]within its reach.

0:03:36.779,0:03:39.261
Let's talk for one second[br]about -- oh, there it is,

0:03:39.261,0:03:41.571
the Erotic Creature -- [br]the Unthinkable.

0:03:41.571,0:03:45.571
What if I tell you that the pole[br]that I was just dancing on

0:03:45.571,0:03:48.157
is a symbol for the next and fourth wave

0:03:48.157,0:03:50.839
of the feminist movement?

0:03:50.839,0:03:54.633
I know, right!?

0:03:54.633,0:03:59.673
The personal reclamation of the female body[br]and the sexuality within.

0:03:59.673,0:04:01.582
It's crazy, right?

0:04:01.582,0:04:03.534
A stripper pole representing[br]the feminist movement --

0:04:03.534,0:04:07.524
there's got to be some people[br]rolling over in their graves! Heros of mine!

0:04:07.524,0:04:09.252
But I'm going to tell you[br]about this wild journey

0:04:09.252,0:04:11.058
I took over the last 23 years[br]that brought me

0:04:11.058,0:04:14.147
to this place of clarity and conviction.

0:04:14.147,0:04:16.137
I'll set the scene for you.

0:04:16.137,0:04:20.664
1989, La Cienega Boulevard[br]Star Strip Gentleman's Club.

0:04:20.664,0:04:22.923
The first time I went into a strip club

0:04:22.923,0:04:26.174
I was a young actress, [br]I was helping a friend with a writing project

0:04:26.174,0:04:28.768
and I was very unhappy[br]that I had to go on to this place

0:04:28.768,0:04:32.436
that I felt subjugated and objectified women.

0:04:32.436,0:04:36.370
But once inside I fell in love with

0:04:36.370,0:04:38.283
the movement of some of the dancers,

0:04:38.283,0:04:41.333
Their bodies undulated and they teased

0:04:41.333,0:04:45.458
and they were provocative and sexual, [br]and so feminine.

0:04:45.458,0:04:48.956
And I was desperate to learn how to do it.

0:04:48.956,0:04:52.221
But I didn't want to be[br]a professional stripper.

0:04:52.221,0:04:55.137
Not that there's anything wrong with that!

0:04:55.137,0:04:58.489
What I did is

0:04:58.489,0:05:00.399
I wrote-produced a film

0:05:00.399,0:05:02.822
where I actually got to play a stripper.

0:05:02.822,0:05:05.183
And in the movie I needed to create a character

0:05:05.183,0:05:08.482
who lived and moved through her sexuality.

0:05:08.482,0:05:10.372
And I thought this is going to be fun.

0:05:10.372,0:05:12.908
So I, first day of rehearsal, put on this outfit

0:05:12.908,0:05:14.671
that I thought would communicate

0:05:14.671,0:05:17.821
my sexy stripper-self into the world,

0:05:17.821,0:05:21.839
please don't laugh or you can laugh![br](Laughter)

0:05:21.839,0:05:23.860
So I got on stage in this outfit

0:05:23.860,0:05:26.610
and the music comes on[br]and my body just goes:

0:05:26.610,0:05:31.300
uh-uh -- uh-uh -- Ain't moving! [br]And she froze!

0:05:31.300,0:05:34.099
Now I was a dance major,[br]New York University,

0:05:34.099,0:05:36.020
I'm a professionally trained ballerina,

0:05:36.020,0:05:37.435
I should know how to do this.

0:05:37.435,0:05:40.071
But my body was like,[br]"I am not having anything of it!"[br]

0:05:40.071,0:05:42.215
And I started to force her to kind of --

0:05:42.215,0:05:44.499
bop from side to side,

0:05:44.499,0:05:47.446
trying to be really sexy,[br]it was so pathetic,

0:05:47.446,0:05:49.699
it was totally not sexy!

0:05:49.699,0:05:51.957
And what I was realizing is that

0:05:51.957,0:05:54.035
nowhere in my being did I know

0:05:54.035,0:05:57.455
how to embody my sexuality[br]in my everyday life.

0:05:57.455,0:06:00.324
It wasn't that I didn't have sexuality. [br]I for myself though it was fine.

0:06:00.324,0:06:04.333
It was bringing my sexuality[br]into my everyday life.

0:06:04.333,0:06:08.014
I was faltering at being overtly feminine,[br]like -- wow,

0:06:08.014,0:06:11.287
the body, which is a brilliantly[br]intuitive creature, speaks.

0:06:11.287,0:06:12.742
And what my body was saying is:

0:06:12.742,0:06:18.238
"You can clearly see,[br]is you have no idea who I am."

0:06:18.238,0:06:19.762
And she was completely right.

0:06:19.762,0:06:21.810
So I knew something was missing[br]inside of me.

0:06:21.810,0:06:26.876
I spent the next 4 months, [br]as we developed the film,

0:06:26.876,0:06:29.291
hunting for who I was [br]as a sexually embodied creature.

0:06:29.291,0:06:31.537
I went to the strip clubs,[br]I met dancers,

0:06:31.537,0:06:33.957
I dissected the movement[br]and I learned it,

0:06:33.957,0:06:37.982
and what I found inside of myself[br]I did not expect.

0:06:37.982,0:06:41.306
I found its dark, soulful,[br]emotional sexuality

0:06:41.306,0:06:45.356
that gave me a confidence[br]in my body and my femininity

0:06:45.356,0:06:46.441
that I'd never had before.

0:06:46.441,0:06:49.133
What awoke in me[br]was my Erotic Creature.

0:06:49.133,0:06:51.801
All this is amazing,[br]but it gets so much better,

0:06:51.801,0:06:55.929
because not only did I awaken[br]that side of myself

0:06:55.929,0:06:58.821
but this side of myself[br]started changing everything

0:06:58.821,0:07:01.306
on the home front.

0:07:01.306,0:07:04.874
My marriage went from[br]"Eh" to "Oh my God!"

0:07:04.874,0:07:06.926
It's stayed there for 23 years.

0:07:06.926,0:07:09.036
I became a happier mother to my children,

0:07:09.036,0:07:13.005
I became a more complete woman[br]on to myself.

0:07:13.005,0:07:14.807
And I had to share this with other women.

0:07:14.807,0:07:16.511
I was like, 'You've got -- this is it,

0:07:16.511,0:07:18.121
this is the Holy Grail of empowerment!'

0:07:18.121,0:07:20.487
and they're like, 'Ok.'

0:07:20.487,0:07:23.437
I developed this movement called

0:07:23.437,0:07:25.025
'S Factor,' and I started teaching it

0:07:25.025,0:07:27.375
to fellow pre-school moms[br]and women in the neighbourhood

0:07:27.375,0:07:32.204
and they too started releasing their sexuality

0:07:32.204,0:07:36.307
into their everyday lives[br]and into their bodies and --

0:07:36.307,0:07:38.344
the same changes that I'd had in my life

0:07:38.344,0:07:39.854
they were having in theirs.

0:07:39.854,0:07:41.713
Happier relationships,[br]happier children,

0:07:41.713,0:07:44.991
happier women,[br]it caught on like wild fire.

0:07:44.991,0:07:48.213
The next thing I know I am on Oprah's.

0:07:48.213,0:07:51.111
We become -- [br]our effort becomes international news.

0:07:51.111,0:07:55.430
I'm inundated with e-mails[br]from all over the globe.

0:07:55.430,0:07:59.605
Apparently, the desire to be whole --

0:07:59.605,0:08:02.259
it crosses not only geographic boundaries

0:08:02.259,0:08:04.798
but political and cultural boundaries as well.

0:08:04.798,0:08:07.178
I had tapped in a world-wide artery

0:08:07.178,0:08:10.674
of women all missing[br]the same something I had been missing.

0:08:10.674,0:08:13.778
The Erotic creature was asleep globally.[br]But how was that possible?

0:08:13.778,0:08:17.339
I couldn't understand [br]how could the woman from Saudi Arabia,

0:08:17.339,0:08:20.720
the woman from Beijing, the woman[br]from Buenos Aires and me in Los Angeles,

0:08:20.720,0:08:24.103
how could we all be missing the same thing?[br]I needed to understand this.

0:08:24.103,0:08:27.132
And I call it the 'Yin effect.'

0:08:27.132,0:08:31.492
Think of each person, male or female,[br]having within the potential

0:08:31.492,0:08:34.104
of Yin-feminine and Yang-masculine energy,

0:08:34.104,0:08:38.311
we live in a world that cuts out[br]a piece of Yin in all of us.

0:08:38.311,0:08:40.936
And if you jump into that Yin,[br]you'll see that

0:08:40.936,0:08:44.576
it's the physicality and sexuality[br]of the feminine body that's shut down.

0:08:44.576,0:08:46.875
And the more women I talked to, [br]the more I learned.

0:08:46.875,0:08:49.412
And what I learned is that [br]the shutting down of the Yin

0:08:49.412,0:08:51.965
starts with the first offense.

0:08:51.965,0:08:55.142
The first offense is[br]the first time anyone or anything

0:08:55.142,0:09:00.034
brings negative attention, [br]judgment or shame to your body.

0:09:00.034,0:09:02.639
So my first offense happened[br]when I was 7

0:09:02.639,0:09:06.819
and this is the picture of what [br]a 7-year-old little girl's body looks like

0:09:06.819,0:09:10.015
just for you to refer to throughout the story -- [br]this is my daughter.

0:09:10.015,0:09:13.273
I was hanging out with my best friends, [br]Brian and Donald Doyle,

0:09:13.273,0:09:15.989
they were 7 and 8 respectively, [br]we were hanging out

0:09:15.989,0:09:18.070
in the backyard, it was summer, [br]it was really hot,

0:09:18.070,0:09:20.218
we were playing, [br]we decided to take a break

0:09:20.218,0:09:23.329
and we went to cool down,[br]so we all took our tops off and

0:09:23.329,0:09:28.009
we laid back in the grass, arms over the head,[br]it was an awesome day,

0:09:28.009,0:09:29.848
the air was cooling my chest,

0:09:29.848,0:09:31.758
it was a beautiful, innocent day.

0:09:31.758,0:09:34.430
And all of a sudden the upstairs window[br]of their house was flying open

0:09:34.430,0:09:36.854
and Mrs Doyle stuck her head out

0:09:36.854,0:09:39.262
and she screamed[br]in the most piercing voice,

0:09:39.262,0:09:43.166
'Sheila Kelley! You naughty little girl!

0:09:43.166,0:09:50.773
You put your top on immediately, you ought[br]to be ashamed of yourself and go home.'

0:09:50.773,0:09:53.805
My shoulders started[br]to pinch up towards my ears,

0:09:53.805,0:09:57.235
my chest caved-in[br]with this new-found emotion of shame,

0:09:57.235,0:10:00.906
I couldn't breathe, [br]it was the moment I began

0:10:00.906,0:10:03.730
to separate from my female body.

0:10:03.730,0:10:06.710
Mrs hadn't yelled at her boys[br]but she yelled at me

0:10:06.710,0:10:09.198
but we did the same thing.

0:10:09.198,0:10:12.877
What I learned that day is[br]it's safe and good

0:10:12.877,0:10:15.468
to be in a male body,[br]and it's not safe,

0:10:15.468,0:10:17.605
it's dangerous[br]to be in a female body.

0:10:17.605,0:10:19.654
Mrs Doyle didn't hate me,

0:10:19.654,0:10:22.152
she was trying to curb[br]a sexuality that scared her,

0:10:22.152,0:10:23.731
that didn't even exist yet.

0:10:23.731,0:10:25.365
She thought she had[br]the right to tell me what

0:10:25.365,0:10:27.544
I could and couldn't do with my body.

0:10:27.544,0:10:31.191
These kind of stories play out[br]every single day all over the globe.

0:10:31.191,0:10:34.560
We are stealing the light and the life

0:10:34.560,0:10:38.595
from these creatures,[br]these beautiful feminine creatures.

0:10:38.595,0:10:42.309
Every single woman you know[br]

0:10:42.309,0:10:44.271
has had a first offense,[br]whether she's aware of it or not.

0:10:44.271,0:10:47.966
And she's had subsequent offenses[br]every day of her life, offenses like

0:10:47.966,0:10:50.529
'keep your knees together',[br]'don't move like that',

0:10:50.529,0:10:54.084
'she's a slut',[br]'you look like a whore'.

0:10:54.084,0:10:56.538
These offenses eat away [br]at the emotional boundary

0:10:56.538,0:10:59.353
and the ego of the body[br]until you do not know

0:10:59.353,0:11:01.455
where your body begins[br]and where your body ends.

0:11:01.455,0:11:05.296
You think anyone, anytime, [br]anywhere can tell you

0:11:05.296,0:11:07.570
what you can[br]and cannot do in your body

0:11:07.570,0:11:10.401
and the only choice you have[br]is to shut it down.

0:11:10.401,0:11:12.111
So let's understand these offenses[br]a little better

0:11:12.111,0:11:15.714
'cause they're tricky [br]and you can't always tell they're offenses.

0:11:15.714,0:11:18.896
And there's a spectrum of them[br]and they're global

0:11:18.896,0:11:20.577
and they range in noticeability.

0:11:20.577,0:11:23.857
If some of these pictures are difficult -- [br]please avert your eyes.

0:11:23.857,0:11:27.395
They range from barbaric, [br]such as the stoning to death of a woman

0:11:27.395,0:11:29.376
who expresses her sexuality.

0:11:29.376,0:11:35.567
Or brutal, the creating [br]of a human chastity belt made of flash.

0:11:35.567,0:11:40.533
Or overt, the mandatory veiling[br]of the female body.

0:11:40.533,0:11:43.565
To subtle controls,[br]things like offensive advertising

0:11:43.565,0:11:46.246
that eats away[br]your integrity of your body.

0:11:46.246,0:11:50.719
To subliminal controls, [br]the infantile global uproar

0:11:50.719,0:11:53.658
over a pair of royal nipples.

0:11:53.658,0:11:59.193
Now really, honestly, I just don't know[br]which pair of nipples were so offensive!

0:11:59.193,0:12:00.624
But that's another talk!

0:12:00.624,0:12:03.361
So I wanna switch[br]the table on you for a second.

0:12:03.361,0:12:06.503
Do you know[br]who I find incredibly attractive

0:12:06.503,0:12:08.331
and I think if I saw his bare nipples

0:12:08.331,0:12:11.613
I would be so sexually aroused[br]that I couldn't control myself?

0:12:11.613,0:12:15.259
Daniel Craig.[br]I don't even look over there

0:12:15.259,0:12:22.339
because -- I kind of think Daniel Craig[br]should cover his nipples, too!

0:12:22.339,0:12:27.770
(Laughter) (Applause)

0:12:27.770,0:12:30.382
I know, I know,[br]it's absurd, but is it?

0:12:30.382,0:12:36.190
We are laughing at this[br]but we are doing this to the female body.

0:12:36.190,0:12:39.141
Globally.

0:12:39.141,0:12:42.222
What each and every one of these[br]offenses have in common

0:12:42.222,0:12:45.598
is the desire -- their end-goal is to control

0:12:45.598,0:12:48.173
and limit the female body and sexuality,[br]

0:12:48.173,0:12:50.883
to control the clitoris, [br]to control the vagina,

0:12:50.883,0:12:54.052
to control the uterus,[br]to control all of it.

0:12:54.052,0:12:58.298
We don't want to think[br]that atrocities like acid-burnings

0:12:58.298,0:13:00.261
for turning down a marriage proposal

0:13:00.261,0:13:02.857
are related to atrocities like

0:13:02.857,0:13:06.412
domestic abuse for turning down[br]a marriage proposal.

0:13:06.412,0:13:08.310
But as you can see[br]they're the exact same thing

0:13:08.310,0:13:11.248
they're just using different tactics of control

0:13:11.248,0:13:14.276
in different degrees.

0:13:14.276,0:13:16.733
And when you hear repeatedly

0:13:16.733,0:13:19.674
that your body is obscene or indecent

0:13:19.674,0:13:23.151
you begin to internalize it, [br]and you start to self-control

0:13:23.151,0:13:25.400
and you start to try and hide your body,

0:13:25.400,0:13:31.687
you try and hide your sexuality[br]in unhealthy eating habits,

0:13:31.687,0:13:34.421
or you hide in skin and bones,

0:13:34.421,0:13:38.089
you'll do anything you can to hide.

0:13:38.089,0:13:40.599
Or you start to cut.

0:13:40.599,0:13:45.479
Or you try to become [br]somebody else's ideal of perfection.

0:13:45.479,0:13:49.168
Or you'll mini-man yourself up[br]so that you can be taken more seriously

0:13:49.168,0:13:51.719
in a world that values[br]all that is masculine.

0:13:51.719,0:13:55.077
Or you just live where 80% of the women[br]in America live

0:13:55.077,0:13:56.846
which is where something is missing

0:13:56.846,0:13:59.442
and you have no idea what it is.

0:13:59.442,0:14:06.155
What we have done to the ego[br]of the female body is --

0:14:06.155,0:14:08.313
it's horrific.

0:14:08.313,0:14:10.812
We have squandered and abused

0:14:10.812,0:14:12.943
one of the sweetest, most vulnerable,

0:14:12.943,0:14:14.886
most adorable creatures on the planet,

0:14:14.886,0:14:19.013
and we -- all of us -- [br]we are all paying the price,

0:14:19.013,0:14:22.319
because if you think[br]women are the only one scarred

0:14:22.319,0:14:24.457
in the relationship to their body,

0:14:24.457,0:14:27.017
think about this:[br]what the Doyle boys learned

0:14:27.017,0:14:28.216
on the day of my first offense

0:14:28.216,0:14:29.279
was exactly what I learned.

0:14:29.279,0:14:32.956
They learned that their body [br]was more valuable than my body.

0:14:32.956,0:14:35.801
They learned that if their mother[br]could tell me

0:14:35.801,0:14:38.989
what I could and couldn't do in my body

0:14:38.989,0:14:41.187
then maybe someday they could, too.

0:14:41.187,0:14:46.722
Men too are scarred in relationship [br]to the feminine body through these offenses.

0:14:46.722,0:14:49.654
In a UCLA study of normal college students

0:14:49.654,0:14:52.941
over 50% of the young men said [br]they would rape a woman

0:14:52.941,0:14:57.307
if they knew there was no punishment.

0:14:57.307,0:15:00.083
For the majority of men[br]the most arousing fantasy

0:15:00.083,0:15:01.281
was the rape of a young woman

0:15:01.281,0:15:05.526
where she experienced[br]both orgasm and pain.

0:15:05.526,0:15:08.746
Right? Kind of sobering.

0:15:08.746,0:15:14.447
There was a time[br]when the female body was worshiped,

0:15:14.447,0:15:16.354
not just for her life-giving ability,

0:15:16.354,0:15:20.969
but for her heightened senses, [br]her emotional acuity,

0:15:20.969,0:15:24.106
her brilliant intuition [br]and her dance of the fertility.

0:15:24.106,0:15:28.701
And this dance took place[br]at night when the women --

0:15:28.701,0:15:31.033
and only the women --[br]would gather over the fields

0:15:31.033,0:15:34.375
and they would do --[br]they would undulate their pelvises

0:15:34.375,0:15:39.739
over the crops to fertilize the soil,[br]to feed the village.

0:15:39.739,0:15:42.622
That's the true origin[br]of what we know as

0:15:42.622,0:15:45.150
'fertility dance',[br]which became erotic dance,

0:15:45.150,0:15:48.011
which became what we know today[br]as strip-tease and pole-dancing.

0:15:48.011,0:15:51.766
It was a celebration[br]of the feminine body.

0:15:51.766,0:15:57.905
It began as a dance of life.[br]The great mythologist

0:15:57.905,0:16:00.591
and philosopher[br]Joseph Campbell wrote,

0:16:00.591,0:16:04.854
'Woman is life and Man is the protector of life.

0:16:04.854,0:16:08.455
The male's job is to protect the women.'

0:16:08.455,0:16:10.287
Somehow we have --

0:16:10.287,0:16:13.453
the way we've learned[br]how to protect has become perverted.

0:16:13.453,0:16:16.844
We are protecting [br]by dousing the flame of the feminine.

0:16:16.844,0:16:21.423
We are serving by controlling [br]the body of the feminine

0:16:21.423,0:16:24.231
instead of doing what we have to do[br]and that is

0:16:24.248,0:16:27.574
to turn our masculine energy out and face

0:16:27.574,0:16:30.769
any on-coming threat[br]so that the feminine

0:16:30.769,0:16:36.529
can blossom and grow[br]and radiate and be life.

0:16:36.529,0:16:39.292
The next wave [br]of the feminist movement is actually --

0:16:39.292,0:16:42.303
it's a human movement[br]and it includes all of us

0:16:42.303,0:16:44.345
and it is the reclamation of the beauty

0:16:44.345,0:16:48.097
and the genius of both[br]the masculine and the feminine.

0:16:48.097,0:16:51.976
And it all begins with the awakening[br]of the Erotic Creature in every woman

0:16:51.976,0:16:56.137
because when a woman steps into[br]her power in her body

0:16:56.137,0:17:01.703
she calls every single masculine[br]into his greatest power.

0:17:01.703,0:17:03.360
When she gets stronger[br]he gets stronger.

0:17:03.360,0:17:05.721
When we as a culture diminish her

0:17:05.721,0:17:10.697
we are diminishing our culture.

0:17:10.697,0:17:13.502
The female-male complement can exist

0:17:13.502,0:17:15.071
and only when we cultivate it

0:17:15.071,0:17:17.063
are we really going to live up[br]to the potential --

0:17:17.063,0:17:20.560
the true potential of ourselves[br]individually and collectively.

0:17:20.560,0:17:24.266
This is my guy. [br]We cultivate every single day,

0:17:24.266,0:17:26.263
it's not perfect,[br]there are ups and downs,

0:17:26.263,0:17:31.759
but we dance the dance[br]of empowering one another.

0:17:31.759,0:17:36.391
Now here I am totally naked.

0:17:36.391,0:17:40.775
If we all strip bare every day

0:17:40.775,0:17:45.104
and expose our deepest truth,

0:17:45.104,0:17:47.825
we can live naked in our passion,

0:17:47.825,0:17:51.222
naked in our power, [br]naked in ourselves,

0:17:51.222,0:17:52.941
naked in the moment.

0:17:52.941,0:17:56.412
I reclaimed my body after a lifetime of

0:17:56.412,0:17:59.461
self-criticism brought on[br]by a society that

0:17:59.461,0:18:03.671
curbed her enthusiasm for life,[br]and in doing so

0:18:03.671,0:18:08.046
I have become, as Charles Dickens[br]so beautifully wrote,

0:18:08.046,0:18:11.990
'the hero of my own life'. [br]So the choice is yours.

0:18:11.990,0:18:16.202
Do you dare to become[br]the heroes of your lives

0:18:16.202,0:18:18.820
and reclaim your essence?

0:18:18.820,0:18:22.394
Do you dare to live naked?

0:18:22.394,0:18:23.885
So when you walk out of this talk,

0:18:23.885,0:18:25.478
when you leave this talk, women,

0:18:25.478,0:18:29.310
step into the grandeur, [br]the beauty, the gorgeousness

0:18:29.310,0:18:32.584
the sway, the curve, [br]the power, the fire of your body,

0:18:32.584,0:18:35.866
of your spirit, of your emotions.

0:18:35.866,0:18:38.207
I want you to undulate your spine

0:18:38.207,0:18:40.229
and just rock your body, sway it, move it,

0:18:40.229,0:18:41.567
stretch it, reach your arms up,

0:18:41.567,0:18:43.609
you can do it right now if you want to.

0:18:43.609,0:18:48.844
I want you to go out and throw a hip-circle[br]in the middle of the grocery store!

0:18:48.844,0:18:51.190
Just for the fun of it!

0:18:51.190,0:18:53.809
I want you to spread[br]your radiance with a smile

0:18:53.809,0:18:56.223
like right into the eyes of a stranger.

0:18:56.223,0:18:58.732
And I'm going to feed you [br]and you're going to feed me.

0:18:58.732,0:19:05.262
And men, step into the magnificence [br]of the masculine creature that you are.

0:19:05.262,0:19:08.525
Create a space of safety[br]for the feminine to thrive.

0:19:08.525,0:19:11.198
Serve her, protect her, face out and

0:19:11.198,0:19:14.138
hold her in your gaze and elevate her.

0:19:14.138,0:19:17.845
Because when you elevate her

0:19:17.845,0:19:21.307
you will behold in front of you

0:19:21.307,0:19:24.675
the eternal and the sacred feminine.

0:19:24.675,0:19:26.399
She's here right this minute,

0:19:26.399,0:19:28.229
she is in front of you,[br]she's next to you,

0:19:28.229,0:19:30.930
she's behind you,[br]she is every woman,

0:19:30.930,0:19:32.481
she is the swoop of the neck,

0:19:32.481,0:19:35.657
and the turn of an ankle, [br]and the curve up the lower back,

0:19:35.657,0:19:37.665
and she's the deep emotional heart,

0:19:37.665,0:19:41.704
she is the wise intuitive soul,

0:19:41.704,0:19:44.904
and when you see her,[br]when you awaken her

0:19:44.904,0:19:47.304
when you behold her[br]-- oh my God --

0:19:47.304,0:19:49.624
whether you are a man, [br]a woman or a child,

0:19:49.624,0:19:55.193
you will be filled up, [br]split open into your bliss

0:19:55.193,0:19:59.565
because that is the power[br]of the feminine.

0:19:59.565,0:20:01.478
And one more thing.

0:20:01.478,0:20:03.433
Women --

0:20:03.433,0:20:06.171
when you walk into a room,

0:20:06.171,0:20:09.152
remember your breasts [br]should enter 5 minutes before you

0:20:09.152,0:20:13.285
and your glories ass should leave[br]5 minutes after you're gone!

0:20:13.285,0:20:14.975
Thank you very much!

0:20:14.975,0:20:23.409
(Applause and cheers)

0:20:23.409,0:20:26.393
Thank you.[br](Applause)
