The Divine Feminine(How to Awaken The Divine Feminine Within You)[subtitles
using inown.org]

2
00:00:30,010 --> 00:00:38,140
hello everyone. today's subject
is divine feminine.

3
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:45,402
I want to preface this episode by saying that
all beings have aspects of divine feminine

4
00:00:45,402 --> 00:00:48,100
and divine masculine present within them.

5
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:51,534
but this particular episode
is designed and aimed

6
00:00:51,534 --> 00:00:55,365
at those who are born into this
physical reality as females.

7
00:00:55,365 --> 00:00:58,240
who are resisting the Divine
Feminine within them.

8
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,470
who wish to come into more alignment
with the feminine essence.

9
00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:04,925
which they chose to come in with

10
00:01:04,925 --> 00:01:08,738
when they chose the incarnation of
a female body for this life.

11
00:01:08,738 --> 00:01:15,536
part of living from the heart and living with
integrity is to come into alignment

12
00:01:15,536 --> 00:01:18,224
with the essence of who we really are.

13
00:01:18,224 --> 00:01:25,390
and as women and as a human society we have been in resistance
to the Divine Feminine within us for far too long.

14
00:01:25,390 --> 00:01:31,659
this third dimension which we exist in system is the
dimension based on the idea of contrast.

15
00:01:31,659 --> 00:01:33,708
now, contrast meaning polar energies.

16
00:01:33,708 --> 00:01:36,768
I know what I don't want
so I know what I do want.

17
00:01:36,768 --> 00:01:42,370
part of what develops out of polar
energies is duality from unity.

18
00:01:42,370 --> 00:01:45,439
so if we look at the universe
in terms of unity

19
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:49,791
the dual aspect within that
unity is god and goddess

20
00:01:49,791 --> 00:01:54,610
and translated into the physical dimension
that is man and woman.

21
00:01:54,610 --> 00:01:56,601
yin and yang.

22
00:01:56,601 --> 00:02:02,576
the Divine Feminine is the goddess.

23
00:02:02,576 --> 00:02:04,960
The divine masculine is God.

24
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,770
divine feminine energy represents these
aspects within the universe.

25
00:02:12,770 --> 00:02:19,747
restoration, life, renewal,
creation, birth, healing,

26
00:02:19,747 --> 00:02:32,511
receptivity, openness, nurturing,
love, understanding, compassion,

27
00:02:32,511 --> 00:02:47,465
insight, intuition, wisdom, forgiveness, the
moon, connection, harmony and sensuality.

28
00:02:47,465 --> 00:02:57,422
to come into the expression of your own divine feminine
is to search for and connect with these energies.

29
00:02:57,422 --> 00:03:04,970
these things which are representative of divine feminine
within our being and allow those to express themselves.

30
00:03:04,970 --> 00:03:08,261
it's understandable why many
of us haven't done this.

31
00:03:08,261 --> 00:03:14,297
in our modern day society, it's extremely
hard to cultivate open receptivity

32
00:03:14,297 --> 00:03:19,811
when you're competing in the workplace like
somebody of us are doing as women.

33
00:03:19,811 --> 00:03:23,536
but our health as women is
dependent on us

34
00:03:23,536 --> 00:03:29,015
allowing ourselves to come into contact with these
things which we have suppressed.

35
00:03:29,015 --> 00:03:37,069
these aspects of divine feminine and allowing those
aspects of our true selves to express themselves.

36
00:03:37,069 --> 00:03:43,069
our womanhood is unique, meaning that each woman is unique
expression of divine feminine.

37
00:03:43,730 --> 00:03:48,950
what that means is, we're not looking to
conform to any archetypal idea of what

38
00:03:48,950 --> 00:03:52,310
womanhood or divine feminine is or isn't.

39
00:03:52,310 --> 00:03:58,571
we are looking to define what it is for
us to allow our own divine feminine.

40
00:03:58,571 --> 00:04:02,090
to flow through us to express
into this physical dimension.

41
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:08,256
this is about releasing the things that
disallow our true feminine essence.

42
00:04:08,256 --> 00:04:13,187
for radiating through us and
reclaiming who we really are.

43
00:04:13,187 --> 00:04:16,286
many of us have built our
lives and our image

44
00:04:16,286 --> 00:04:20,220
either in resistance to the traditional
idea of what feminine should be.

45
00:04:20,220 --> 00:04:24,360
or in support of the traditional
idea of what feminine should be.

46
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,530
this is a problem because neither course
of action represents our true selves.

47
00:04:28,530 --> 00:04:31,947
neither allows us to be who
we really are.

48
00:04:31,947 --> 00:04:36,291
instead of being genuine to our true feelings
relative to our feminine identity.

49
00:04:36,291 --> 00:04:39,674
we spend our time rebelling against
expectations

50
00:04:39,674 --> 00:04:42,059
or embracing expectations that we
don't actually enjoy.

51
00:04:42,059 --> 00:04:44,923
because we desperately want
acceptance and approval.

52
00:04:44,923 --> 00:04:46,226
we should ask ourselves.

53
00:04:46,226 --> 00:04:51,840
is there any part of the traditional gender
role of being female that we actually enjoy?

54
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:55,974
for example, do we actually enjoy wearing
high heels or makeup

55
00:04:55,974 --> 00:04:59,825
because we enjoy the unique and creative image
we are projecting to the world?

56
00:04:59,825 --> 00:05:02,812
are we using these things to
highlight our femininity?

57
00:05:02,812 --> 00:05:04,500
or do we do it because we feel we are not adequate without it?

58
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:09,000
and must simply
do it because we are female?

59
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,071
do we enjoy the idea of a man
being a provider

60
00:05:12,071 --> 00:05:17,248
because it is fun to experience a person loving us enough
to support our physical needs and wants?

61
00:05:17,248 --> 00:05:21,090
or are we accepting a man as a provider
because we do not feel capable?

62
00:05:21,090 --> 00:05:26,518
the answer will vary from woman to woman
and then we need to ask ourselves.

63
00:05:26,518 --> 00:05:30,750
does the answer we receive come from a good
emotional space or a negative emotional space?

64
00:05:30,750 --> 00:05:38,190
i'll give you a personal example, a while
ago I stopped wearing makeup all together.

65
00:05:38,190 --> 00:05:45,890
the reason is i started to get really frustrated at the fact that cosmos companies
were selling the idea that women were not good enough naturally as they wake up.

66
00:05:45,890 --> 00:05:49,369
I started getting really frustrated the
idea that men can just roll out of bed,

67
00:05:49,369 --> 00:05:50,459
just throw their clothes on

68
00:05:50,459 --> 00:05:52,560
and in 10 minutes they
are in their car.

69
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,770
whereas we are expected to perfect
ourselves before we leave the house.

70
00:05:55,770 --> 00:06:01,239
it made me just mad enough that I stopped
wearing makeup all together.

71
00:06:01,239 --> 00:06:03,680
and then I ask myself.

72
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,057
does it mean, not wearing makeup have to do with the
fact that it simply doesn't add to my happiness

73
00:06:09,057 --> 00:06:11,616
or does it come from a place
of extreme resistance?

74
00:06:11,616 --> 00:06:13,635
know what I know about the universe

75
00:06:13,635 --> 00:06:17,399
i understand the resistance is total
disallowing of who we really are.

76
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:21,083
you can't be in an aspect of happiness
and be resistant at the same time.

77
00:06:21,083 --> 00:06:24,139
so i started to explore
my idea about makeup.

78
00:06:24,139 --> 00:06:27,199
what did I find? I actually love it.

79
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:28,699
I'm an artist at heart.

80
00:06:28,699 --> 00:06:33,500
i love the idea that i can highlight
what I want to show to the world.

81
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:36,120
I get to choose what aspects of myself.

82
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,270
i get to highlight or diminish.

83
00:06:38,270 --> 00:06:41,123
I get to choose what colors I wear.

84
00:06:41,123 --> 00:06:48,169
my face has become like a canvas and it is from that
space of pure enjoyment which I put on makeup now.

85
00:06:48,169 --> 00:06:51,410
not the idea that i'm not good enough
without it.

86
00:06:51,410 --> 00:06:55,354
which is what makes make up an
appropriate decision for me.

87
00:06:55,354 --> 00:06:58,509
may not be an appropriate
decision for all women.

88
00:06:58,509 --> 00:07:01,417
to me wearing makeup feels
like empowerment

89
00:07:01,417 --> 00:07:05,563
not powerlessness to the idea that i'm
not good enough without makeup.

90
00:07:05,563 --> 00:07:08,449
which is how it was before.

91
00:07:08,449 --> 00:07:13,714
so for me the traditional gender role of a woman
wearing makeup is right for me personally.

92
00:07:13,714 --> 00:07:18,349
or another woman might ask the same question
and decide that is not right for her.

93
00:07:18,349 --> 00:07:25,669
here's another story, I was raised with
a mother who is a seething feminist.

94
00:07:25,669 --> 00:07:28,121
my mother is a byproduct
of the sixties.

95
00:07:28,121 --> 00:07:30,877
she was a part of the woman's
rights movement

96
00:07:30,877 --> 00:07:34,759
and so my mother has been in resistance
to her own femininity for years.

97
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:39,740
ironically under the guise that she is
for femininity.

98
00:07:40,250 --> 00:07:44,509
she has also been rejecting the
traditional view of femininity for years.

99
00:07:44,509 --> 00:07:46,550
she dressed like a man.

100
00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:48,505
she burned her bra's in public.

101
00:07:48,505 --> 00:07:51,154
these are all demonstrations
of rebellion.

102
00:07:51,154 --> 00:07:53,743
and so of course by virtue
of her resistance

103
00:07:53,743 --> 00:07:58,490
she managed to manifest a daughter who is all about
lipstick, push up bra's and high heels.

104
00:07:58,490 --> 00:08:03,440
but what did this mean
for me as a child.

105
00:08:04,130 --> 00:08:09,110
it meant that my mother went to great lengths to
exclude anything pink for my wardrobe and toys.

106
00:08:09,110 --> 00:08:14,030
I got the message very young that pink was the color for
girly girls and the girly girls were powerless, weak,

107
00:08:14,030 --> 00:08:17,979
pathetic and at the very least to blame
for the continual tyranny of men.

108
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:22,659
I was repulsed by pink growing up because
of that idea that I was raised with.

109
00:08:22,659 --> 00:08:28,668
I look down on women who identified with pink as
inferior and as a discredit to my own gender.

110
00:08:28,668 --> 00:08:31,664
but when I went through therapy
several years ago

111
00:08:31,664 --> 00:08:37,597
i was asked to think of a color during the visualization
which felt safe to me and pink kept coming up.

112
00:08:37,597 --> 00:08:43,240
so i decided to question my thoughts about
pink and what i found is I love pink.

113
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,139
it is one of my favorite colors and
yes, it feels very safe to me.

114
00:08:47,139 --> 00:08:50,990
so the reason I was in resistance to pink had
nothing to do with the color or in that itself.

115
00:08:50,990 --> 00:08:53,410
had to do with the fact that i was
associating it with something.

116
00:08:53,410 --> 00:08:56,852
something which I saw
is negative.

117
00:08:56,852 --> 00:08:58,807
something which I saw is powerless.

118
00:08:58,807 --> 00:09:05,260
and so I had rejected an aspect of my femininity
relative to pink because of that ideal.

119
00:09:05,260 --> 00:09:09,190
so for me coming into alignment with
divine feminine was to embrace pink.

120
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:18,310
the thing about life in general is that if we are committed
to living the kind of life that makes us happy.

121
00:09:18,310 --> 00:09:23,170
we need to commit to only keeping beliefs
and practices that add to our happiness.

122
00:09:23,170 --> 00:09:27,459
this means that many of us during this
process of embracing our own divine feminine nature

123
00:09:27,459 --> 00:09:32,170
will be embracing things
that are traditionally seen as feminine.

124
00:09:32,170 --> 00:09:34,870
while some of us will
be discarding them.

125
00:09:34,870 --> 00:09:41,311
the goal as far as embracing our femininity goes is taking
the time as an individual not as the female race.

126
00:09:41,311 --> 00:09:44,500
to decide what works for
you and what doesn't.

127
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:47,890
what serves your personal happiness and
what doesn't.

128
00:09:47,890 --> 00:09:52,329
we do not have to and should not get rid
of beliefs and practices that work for us.

129
00:09:52,329 --> 00:09:55,540
based on the fact that other people have
decided that it doesn't work for them.

130
00:09:56,110 --> 00:10:01,480
we simply need to be very honest with ourselves
about what does and does not work for us.

131
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,740
here are some suggestions which will
help you tap into your Divine Feminine essence.

132
00:10:05,740 --> 00:10:10,424
the first being
create.

133
00:10:10,424 --> 00:10:13,785
feminine essence, Divine Feminine is all about creation.

134
00:10:13,785 --> 00:10:20,020
that is why as women we create life. so to come
to contact with your own divine feminine

135
00:10:20,020 --> 00:10:22,844
you need to learn how to
allow yourself to create.

136
00:10:22,844 --> 00:10:26,162
one of the best ways to do
this is to start doing art.

137
00:10:26,162 --> 00:10:30,689
there's not one art form that a superior
or inferior to any other.

138
00:10:30,689 --> 00:10:37,478
you'll find that your unique creation best expresses
itself through this type of art be at collage

139
00:10:37,478 --> 00:10:39,388
or this type of art be at painting

140
00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:41,590
or this type of art being dance.

141
00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:44,965
there's no limit to the way
that you could create.

142
00:10:44,965 --> 00:10:51,095
but for those of you that feel especially blocked relative
to allowing yourself to create some kind of art.

143
00:10:51,095 --> 00:10:55,449
I suggest picking up the
book "The Artist's Way".

144
00:10:55,449 --> 00:10:57,760
The Artist Way by Julia

145
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:04,259
Cameron is designed specifically to help people
who do not naturally create by way of doing art.

146
00:11:04,259 --> 00:11:11,744
to come into alignment with the aspect of them
that does want to create through art

147
00:11:11,744 --> 00:11:15,100
and to allow that side to become unblocked

148
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:17,440
and flow unrestricted into the physical dimension.

149
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,186
the second suggestion
is to collaborate.

150
00:11:21,186 --> 00:11:22,684
come together as women.

151
00:11:22,684 --> 00:11:28,470
one of the most healing things when it comes to
the divine feminine essence expressing itself

152
00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:31,484
is to collect yourself together
as a group of women.

153
00:11:31,484 --> 00:11:34,481
to set it up or attend groups
oriented towards women.

154
00:11:34,481 --> 00:11:40,803
come together for the sole purpose of healing
and expressing your own feminine essence.

155
00:11:40,803 --> 00:11:42,430
what is it to be a woman?

156
00:11:42,430 --> 00:11:45,720
get together and talk about it.

157
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,940
several cultures in our ancient
past understood this.

158
00:11:49,940 --> 00:11:57,265
in fact this principle of women unifying in order to
allow their feminine essence to express itself

159
00:11:57,265 --> 00:12:00,569
is the idea behind the entire
Red Tent movement.

160
00:12:00,569 --> 00:12:04,500
my favorite thing to do is to do a
woman's group where I invite a bunch of women

161
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:08,160
over to the house and we do a
meditation on the womb.

162
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:13,089
so what we do in meditation,
is after we breathe

163
00:12:13,089 --> 00:12:19,272
enough to Center our minds we visualize ourselves
sitting in our own wombs.

164
00:12:19,272 --> 00:12:21,364
we observe our wombs.

165
00:12:21,364 --> 00:12:25,251
we observe the way that we're
feeling relative to our wombs.

166
00:12:25,251 --> 00:12:29,179
and then we're treating our wombs
as if it is a separate entity.

167
00:12:29,179 --> 00:12:31,769
we ask any question we want to ask it.

168
00:12:31,769 --> 00:12:34,221
we asking about how its feeling?

169
00:12:34,221 --> 00:12:35,293
what it wants?

170
00:12:35,293 --> 00:12:37,420
what bad memories it holds?

171
00:12:37,420 --> 00:12:42,036
you can hold groups which are centered around
a feminine subjects such as periods

172
00:12:42,036 --> 00:12:44,730
or motherhood and open up the
floor for discussion.

173
00:12:44,730 --> 00:12:47,970
it's incredible the kind of healing that
can occur when women are opening up

174
00:12:47,970 --> 00:12:50,189
about their own womanhood to each other.

175
00:12:50,189 --> 00:12:52,403
there's no right or wrong
way to do this

176
00:12:52,403 --> 00:12:57,839
and you can trust that when you gather women in the room the
energy will always go in the direction of healing.

177
00:12:57,839 --> 00:13:01,439
I do have to interject caveat here.

178
00:13:01,980 --> 00:13:07,259
usually when women gather into women
groups there is a no guys allowed policy.

179
00:13:07,259 --> 00:13:13,940
but i want to remind you that exclusion is the
exact opposite of divine feminine essence.

180
00:13:13,940 --> 00:13:18,200
Divine Feminine is all about
inclusion.

181
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,325
separation of the sexes is part of what fuels the
fire and misunderstanding between us.

182
00:13:23,325 --> 00:13:27,660
so I don't want you to think that I'm saying
that you need to hold only women groups

183
00:13:27,660 --> 00:13:31,769
in fact if men want to participate in these gatherings
then consider yourself in good company.

184
00:13:31,769 --> 00:13:34,810
this means, the men in your life or not
threatened by the divine feminine.

185
00:13:34,810 --> 00:13:38,800
and so it will be that much easier for
you to express yours around them.

186
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,580
I am simply suggesting that you gather
together as a group of women because of

187
00:13:42,580 --> 00:13:45,948
the fact that it can be so healing
to the divine feminine.

188
00:13:45,948 --> 00:13:50,567
and other women can help you to come into
alignment with your Divine Feminine.

189
00:13:50,567 --> 00:13:55,750
it also seems quite difficult for many women to express
their divine femininity with a man in the room.

190
00:13:55,750 --> 00:14:02,260
this is not how it is naturally, this is simply the byproduct
of women being taught to suppress their femininity.

191
00:14:02,260 --> 00:14:05,994
it is a byproduct of embarrassment
and shame that we do not feel

192
00:14:05,994 --> 00:14:09,301
as if we can open up with ourselves as
women when a man is present.

193
00:14:09,301 --> 00:14:11,924
but having an open minded
curious man present

194
00:14:11,924 --> 00:14:15,040
or several present at these gatherings
can actually help us

195
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,976
as women to learn that we can unleash
the Divine Feminine around men.

196
00:14:19,976 --> 00:14:21,880
think of it as rehab.

197
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:28,036
besides we are always complaining that
men do not understand us

198
00:14:28,036 --> 00:14:31,331
so help them out, open up and maybe they will.

199
00:14:31,331 --> 00:14:33,329
explore your sensuality

200
00:14:33,329 --> 00:14:38,020
divine Feminine is known as Beauty incarnate and so
it is time to celebrate beauty in your life.

201
00:14:39,130 --> 00:14:42,130
do your surroundings reflect sensuality?

202
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,180
are they aesthetically pleasing to you?
if not it's time to redecorate.

203
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:50,020
surround yourself and aesthetically
pleasing things.

204
00:14:50,530 --> 00:14:55,940
allow yourself to enjoy a sensual pleasures whether
it's a warm bubble bath or fragrances you like.

205
00:14:55,940 --> 00:14:58,642
surround yourself in color.

206
00:14:58,642 --> 00:15:03,073
and it is time to begin exploring
your own sexuality.

207
00:15:03,073 --> 00:15:06,742
our bodies should never
be off-limits to us

208
00:15:06,742 --> 00:15:10,810
it is incredibly important that
we explore our bodies

209
00:15:10,810 --> 00:15:13,653
that we learn how to sexually pleasure ourselves as women.

210
00:15:13,653 --> 00:15:18,790
if we don't do this we're never going to be
able to find sexual pleasure with a partner.

211
00:15:18,790 --> 00:15:22,870
so for those of you that feel cut off
from the side of your life.

212
00:15:22,870 --> 00:15:26,589
I suggest a book called "Getting Off" by
Jamye Waxman.

213
00:15:26,589 --> 00:15:29,589
there's a double benefit to this aspect
of sensuality.

214
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:35,314
if you learn how to pleasure yourself
sexually as a woman

215
00:15:35,314 --> 00:15:40,398
you'll be releasing tons and tons
of stress relieving chemicals

216
00:15:40,398 --> 00:15:44,496
and when you do that it helps
your hormones balance out.

217
00:15:44,496 --> 00:15:48,699
the next suggestion is to
explore, question and heal.

218
00:15:48,699 --> 00:15:58,720
your ideas and beliefs and feelings relative
to motherhood and relative to your own mother.

219
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,504
it doesn't really matter whether you're
planning on having children are not.

220
00:16:03,504 --> 00:16:06,819
many of us have unhealthy ideas
and feelings about motherhood.

221
00:16:06,819 --> 00:16:12,776
either we are in an unhealthy state of resistance about
it or we feel that it is our only mission as women.

222
00:16:12,776 --> 00:16:17,170
as if it is our only way to have significance
and justify our existence.

223
00:16:17,170 --> 00:16:20,620
neither of these ways of being as
healthy and neither of them makes us healthy as individuals

224
00:16:20,620 --> 00:16:26,029
or as mothers
when we do end up having children.

225
00:16:26,029 --> 00:16:32,500
also your first introduction to divine feminine
is your relationship with your mother.

226
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:39,323
and so if you have any kind of problems with your
mother then you have resistance to divine feminine.

227
00:16:39,323 --> 00:16:46,234
part of your process of coming into your own feminine essence
is to examine and heal that relationship within yourself.

228
00:16:46,234 --> 00:16:50,529
for some of us this is a tall order.

229
00:16:50,529 --> 00:16:53,410
don't worry this doesn't mean you have
to reconnect with your mother physically.

230
00:16:53,410 --> 00:16:55,720
it doesn't mean you have to become best
friends.

231
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,631
she does not even have to be alive.

232
00:16:57,631 --> 00:17:00,910
but it means we need to separate
ourselves from her.

233
00:17:00,910 --> 00:17:04,425
so we can shut off all the damaging
ideas she passed on to us.

234
00:17:04,425 --> 00:17:07,390
we need to forgive her for
her damaging perceptions.

235
00:17:07,390 --> 00:17:09,788
we need to set ourselves
free from her.

236
00:17:09,788 --> 00:17:14,151
and we will find that once we distance
ourselves mentally from her regime.

237
00:17:14,151 --> 00:17:17,194
we can learn to be ourselves
who we choose to be fully.

238
00:17:17,194 --> 00:17:20,364
and only then can we make
peace with our mothers.

239
00:17:20,364 --> 00:17:23,496
and it is only when we make peace
with our mothers

240
00:17:23,496 --> 00:17:26,303
that we can truly embody the Divine
Feminine and within us.

241
00:17:26,303 --> 00:17:30,220
examine your current perspective
of womanhood.

242
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:37,076
explore the current perspective of womanhood
and what it meant to be female in your family.

243
00:17:37,076 --> 00:17:42,010
and explore what it means to be
female in your greater Society.

244
00:17:42,010 --> 00:17:47,518
it's important that we examine the gender
roles that exist within the society

245
00:17:47,518 --> 00:17:51,463
of where we grew up where we live
in the world specifically.

246
00:17:51,463 --> 00:17:56,755
because this set up our beliefs relative to femininity
and many of those beliefs get in the way.

247
00:17:56,755 --> 00:17:58,980
so what does it mean to be female?

248
00:17:58,980 --> 00:18:01,720
this is going to vary based
on where you live.

249
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,357
it's going to vary based on where you
live even within the same country.

250
00:18:05,357 --> 00:18:09,340
for example, where i live in America the
traditional rule of being female entails.

251
00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:10,564
make up

252
00:18:10,564 --> 00:18:12,400
high heels

253
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,291
birth control pills

254
00:18:14,291 --> 00:18:18,167
concealing periods with
tampons and pads

255
00:18:18,167 --> 00:18:18,968
dresses

256
00:18:18,968 --> 00:18:20,361
wearing bras

257
00:18:20,361 --> 00:18:22,720
shaved legs and armpits

258
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,338
getting married

259
00:18:24,338 --> 00:18:25,720
raising children

260
00:18:26,260 --> 00:18:27,059
cooking

261
00:18:27,059 --> 00:18:27,958
cleaning

262
00:18:27,958 --> 00:18:30,389
kindness and caretaking

263
00:18:30,389 --> 00:18:33,807
not managing the household money

264
00:18:33,807 --> 00:18:35,887
not having careers

265
00:18:35,887 --> 00:18:39,658
self-sacrificing to remain virtuous

266
00:18:39,658 --> 00:18:40,810
shopping

267
00:18:40,810 --> 00:18:42,398
decorating the household

268
00:18:42,398 --> 00:18:47,170
and allowing men to do the heavy lifting
or manual labor jobs for us.

269
00:18:47,170 --> 00:18:51,872
you want to examine the ones that
you connect with and enjoy.

270
00:18:51,872 --> 00:18:55,900
and the ones that you do not connect
with and do not enjoy.

271
00:18:55,900 --> 00:19:01,090
which ones do you feel personally reflect divine
feminine and which ones do you feel suppress it.

272
00:19:01,090 --> 00:19:05,005
I want to tell you a little story
about my next door neighbor.

273
00:19:05,005 --> 00:19:09,970
on the street where I live is a woman who
is a stay-at-home mom she raises two sons.

274
00:19:09,970 --> 00:19:17,320
this woman has become the bane of my existence
because she loves being a mother so much.

275
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,768
seems like every time I
look outside the window.

276
00:19:19,768 --> 00:19:24,218
she's skipping along the street with her children and
she's waiting for them to come home from school.

277
00:19:24,218 --> 00:19:27,160
she's baking cookies and delivering
them around the neighborhood.

278
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:34,918
now every time this woman interacts with me it highlights
my own sense of insignificance as a mother.

279
00:19:34,918 --> 00:19:37,831
I feel like a terrible example

280
00:19:37,831 --> 00:19:44,553
because i can't seem to feel that same sense of joy when
i'm staying at home raising my children.

281
00:19:44,553 --> 00:19:50,540
now for a long long time I felt
inadequate super inadequate.

282
00:19:50,540 --> 00:19:54,783
every time I ran into this woman I would
feel worse and worse about myself.

283
00:19:54,783 --> 00:19:58,469
and then I sat down and I
ask myself the question.

284
00:19:58,469 --> 00:20:02,079
do I really want to live the kind
of life that she's living?

285
00:20:02,079 --> 00:20:04,403
or do I feel this kind
of envy for her

286
00:20:04,403 --> 00:20:07,580
because I think I should feel that way relative
to raising children and I don't?

287
00:20:08,090 --> 00:20:12,980
the answer was, I feel miserable when
i'm sitting at home raising children.

288
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:20,420
I've got all these goals worldly goals and that's
what my true passion is and i love my son.

289
00:20:20,420 --> 00:20:23,134
I love him more than
anything in the world.

290
00:20:23,134 --> 00:20:27,675
but the idea of being the one who
stays home and raises him

291
00:20:27,675 --> 00:20:31,558
while the men in my life goes out and works
feels like prison to me.

292
00:20:31,558 --> 00:20:37,993
and so for me expressing my own divine feminine
does not mean staying at home

293
00:20:37,993 --> 00:20:41,409
and being the sole person
who raises my child.

294
00:20:41,409 --> 00:20:44,985
while the man in my life
goes out and works.

295
00:20:44,985 --> 00:20:50,328
where that may actually be the expression of
divine feminine within my neighbor.

296
00:20:50,328 --> 00:20:54,078
for me it does not mean
I'm any less of a mother.

297
00:20:54,078 --> 00:21:00,980
raising my child the way I raised my child
as opposed to the way she raises her child.

298
00:21:00,980 --> 00:21:02,700
I am a different kind of mother.

299
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:05,949
that is because the divine
essence within me

300
00:21:05,949 --> 00:21:09,898
Divine Feminine expresses itself relative
to Motherhood differently.

301
00:21:09,898 --> 00:21:15,423
than her divine feminine expresses
itself relative to mothering.

302
00:21:15,423 --> 00:21:20,391
so staying home to raise children
feels like prison to me

303
00:21:20,391 --> 00:21:24,380
where as much to the dismay of the
podiatrist in this nation.

304
00:21:24,380 --> 00:21:26,139
I love wearing high heels.

305
00:21:26,139 --> 00:21:34,172
to me it makes me feel elegant it highlights the Divine
Feminine within me quite nicely and so I wear high heels.

306
00:21:34,172 --> 00:21:37,916
speaking of which you will find
relative to divine feminine

307
00:21:37,916 --> 00:21:42,967
but there are some aspects of divine feminine
which you are perfectly in alignment with.

308
00:21:42,967 --> 00:21:46,426
while others you are very out
of alignment with.

309
00:21:46,426 --> 00:21:50,870
for example, I am perfectly in alignment with sensuality
relative to divine feminine.

310
00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:55,663
that is an aspect of my life which i have healed
and I've come totally into alignment with.

311
00:21:55,663 --> 00:22:02,390
which is why so many of you feel the intense sexual energy
behind these videos behind my presence in general.

312
00:22:02,390 --> 00:22:07,700
whereas I am not healed relative to the Divine
Feminine when it comes to motherhood.

313
00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:12,290
so for me learning how to allow the
divine feminine within me to express itself.

314
00:22:12,290 --> 00:22:16,429
means coming into an aspect of healing
relative to motherhood.

315
00:22:16,429 --> 00:22:20,179
6 get in touch with your intuition.

316
00:22:20,179 --> 00:22:22,429
this means, listen to your emotions.

317
00:22:22,429 --> 00:22:28,884
a woman who is run by logic is women who is profoundly
out of touch with her own divine feminine.

318
00:22:28,884 --> 00:22:31,488
womanhood is a receptive
state of being.

319
00:22:31,488 --> 00:22:37,534
receptivity means, we do not build walls around ourselves
instead we are in a state of profound openness.

320
00:22:37,534 --> 00:22:38,900
and part of what comes with that

321
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:43,571
openness is receptivity to that which
is beyond the physical dimension.

322
00:22:43,571 --> 00:22:48,290
part of what comes with that openness
is receptivity to other people.

323
00:22:48,290 --> 00:22:54,326
so the question to ask yourself
is, do i shut people out?

324
00:22:54,326 --> 00:22:57,400
if you find that you shut people out.

325
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,874
if you build walls against them.

326
00:22:59,874 --> 00:23:00,836
if you withdraw.

327
00:23:00,836 --> 00:23:02,155
if you escaped.

328
00:23:02,155 --> 00:23:06,512
you are not expressing your
own divine feminine.

329
00:23:06,512 --> 00:23:12,530
7 cultivate openness love compassion and gentleness
towards the world and towards yourself.

330
00:23:13,220 --> 00:23:17,680
I want to reiterate that this does not just apply
to others but it also applies to yourself.

331
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:23,985
in our modern society we push ourselves so hard every day there
seems to be no room for these qualities within ourselves.

332
00:23:23,985 --> 00:23:26,780
but we are developing breast
cancer because of it.

333
00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:28,110
we are dying because of it.

334
00:23:28,110 --> 00:23:31,490
our delicate biochemistry cannot keep
up with what we are doing to it.

335
00:23:31,490 --> 00:23:36,500
spiritual practice will always help you get in
touch with these divine feminine qualities.

336
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:40,484
if you are watching this video you
have already begun the process.

337
00:23:40,484 --> 00:23:46,086
so i want you to choose 3 changes that
you can make on a weekly basis.

338
00:23:46,086 --> 00:23:50,990
to allow these traits, these qualities
to express themselves in your life.

339
00:23:50,990 --> 00:24:00,440
for example, you could commit once a week to calling a friend
for the pure intention of listening really listening to them.

340
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,932
not with a judgmental mind.

341
00:24:01,932 --> 00:24:07,957
just for the sake of finding compassion
and pure understanding for them.

342
00:24:07,957 --> 00:24:11,780
or you could write affirmations on papers
and carry them with you in your purse.

343
00:24:11,780 --> 00:24:16,640
and hand them out to random people or
place them on random car windshields.

344
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,003
so when the driver gets back they can
see this note on the windshield

345
00:24:20,003 --> 00:24:22,400
and receive some sort of affirmation
from the universe.

346
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,144
that's a perfect expression
of divine feminine energy.

347
00:24:26,144 --> 00:24:31,194
or you could commit to doing one
kind thing for you each day. one

348
00:24:31,194 --> 00:24:32,840
thing for yourself.

349
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,435
for example, go get
yourself a pedicure.

350
00:24:35,435 --> 00:24:39,290
buy yourself that thing
you've always wanted.

351
00:24:39,290 --> 00:24:43,250
let yourself go to sleep instead of
finishing that project.

352
00:24:43,790 --> 00:24:49,913
it's important that you know that you can trust
yourself to know what is right for you to do.

353
00:24:49,913 --> 00:24:53,594
you can trust that you know what
you need to do in your life

354
00:24:53,594 --> 00:24:56,750
in order to allow the Divine Feminine
to express itself.

355
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:58,468
it's been trying to all along.

356
00:24:58,468 --> 00:25:02,030
it's been knocking at the door
and so you know it's there.

357
00:25:02,030 --> 00:25:07,797
8 do meditations that are aimed specifically
at connecting to the Divine Feminine.

358
00:25:07,797 --> 00:25:10,412
there is no right or wrong
way to do this

359
00:25:10,412 --> 00:25:14,929
you can invent your own if you like but hundreds
of these meditations can be found online.

360
00:25:15,470 --> 00:25:17,948
guided meditations are
extremely effective

361
00:25:17,948 --> 00:25:23,389
and a lot of people have great ideas about how to go about
connecting with your divine feminine essence.

362
00:25:23,389 --> 00:25:27,397
if you type Divine Feminine
Meditation in to youtube.

363
00:25:27,397 --> 00:25:31,340
you'll be bombarded with all
kinds of meditations to try.

364
00:25:31,340 --> 00:25:34,054
so my suggestion is to do
any of them in all of them.

365
00:25:34,054 --> 00:25:38,540
the worst that can happen
is you find one that works.

366
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:43,771
examine your resistance relative to every
aspect of being female on any level.

367
00:25:43,771 --> 00:25:48,005
such as the spiritual, mental,
physical, or societal level.

368
00:25:48,005 --> 00:25:53,370
resistance is a word we use to describe
the energy behind negative emotion.

369
00:25:53,370 --> 00:25:58,860
do you have resistance therefore negative
emotion relative to your periods.

370
00:25:58,860 --> 00:26:01,392
do you have resistance
to natural birth?

371
00:26:01,392 --> 00:26:04,085
do you have resistance relative
to being a wife?

372
00:26:04,085 --> 00:26:07,530
do you have resistance relative
to your own breasts?

373
00:26:07,530 --> 00:26:11,130
do you have resistance relative
to wearing dresses?

374
00:26:11,730 --> 00:26:15,030
do you have resistance to wearing or not
wearing makeup?

375
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:18,422
do you have resistance towards
being open with others?

376
00:26:18,422 --> 00:26:25,080
if you have resistance in any area of your life relative
to any aspect of reality that you identify as female.

377
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:30,043
then you have something in the way
of divine feminine within you.

378
00:26:30,043 --> 00:26:35,580
try to find your core beliefs relative to the resistance
you feel and then release those core beliefs.

379
00:26:35,580 --> 00:26:38,396
nothing helps Divine Feminine
shine through

380
00:26:38,396 --> 00:26:42,840
better than releasing our resistance relative to the
things that you associate with femininity.

381
00:26:43,410 --> 00:26:50,100
for example, you do not need to wear dresses in
order to express the Divine Feminine within you.

382
00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:56,070
but if you have resistance to dresses you are
suppressing the Divine Feminine within you.

383
00:26:56,070 --> 00:27:00,316
we need to be willing to heal
our negative emotions

384
00:27:00,316 --> 00:27:05,610
relative to anything that we identify as female in
order to set the female within us free.

385
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:10,171
divine feminine does not need
to be cultivated or created.

386
00:27:10,171 --> 00:27:14,580
it is the essence of who you are in this life
if you have come in as physically female.

387
00:27:15,090 --> 00:27:19,404
there are some exceptions to
this rule.

388
00:27:19,404 --> 00:27:24,080
but for most of us, we have come in with the express intention
of embodying divine feminine.

389
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,604
the reason I tell you that
it's important to know

390
00:27:28,604 --> 00:27:35,809
that you do not need to cultivate Divine Feminine
is because it is important to understand

391
00:27:35,809 --> 00:27:39,049
that this is not going to be a process which is
super super difficult.

392
00:27:39,830 --> 00:27:44,235
it's not like you have to come in and clear everything
that's in the way of divine feminine.

393
00:27:44,235 --> 00:27:46,549
and then work towards
becoming a woman.

394
00:27:47,299 --> 00:27:53,258
this is how it goes, divine feminine
being the essence of who you are

395
00:27:53,258 --> 00:27:57,260
is always there ever-present like
a light behind a window.

396
00:27:57,830 --> 00:28:00,889
the same as worth is like a light behind
a window.

397
00:28:01,429 --> 00:28:10,309
all you need to do is to start wiping the filament out from
in front of that light so the light can shine through.

398
00:28:10,309 --> 00:28:17,316
all we need to do is to clear the thoughts and actions
which are preventing that divine feminine from showing.

399
00:28:17,316 --> 00:28:19,403
for the Divine Feminine
to show through.

400
00:28:19,403 --> 00:28:25,017
the only thing that's preventing our divine feminine
from coming through the physical dimension.

401
00:28:25,017 --> 00:28:31,880
through our thoughts words and actions are the thoughts
words and actions that we use which get in the way of it.

402
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:37,947
in other words if we begin to release
the things which are obscuring.

403
00:28:37,947 --> 00:28:45,110
the essence of who we are in our aspect of divine
feminine are divine feminine will shine through.

404
00:28:45,110 --> 00:28:51,788
the icing on the cake of this process of coming into divine
feminine can be highlighted i think by reading a book.

405
00:28:51,788 --> 00:28:58,370
which I've actually been reading this last month
it's called "Woman Code" by Alisa Vitti.

406
00:29:01,159 --> 00:29:04,159
here's the book for any of you that want
to get it.

407
00:29:04,159 --> 00:29:07,474
it's incredible book i'm quite
impressed with it

408
00:29:07,474 --> 00:29:13,043
even though I don't agree with every single aspect
of this book most of it has blown my mind.

409
00:29:13,043 --> 00:29:18,080
I was not aware of how much i was even in resistance
to relative to my own femininity.

410
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,289
in fact I believed for a lot of years.

411
00:29:21,289 --> 00:29:27,652
like I said in the last video that there are just some things
that come along with being female which are our cross to bear.

412
00:29:27,652 --> 00:29:34,279
this book really changed my mind about that and that's
pretty impressive when any kind of book changes my mind.

413
00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:38,418
so I'd suggest that any of you
who are women read this book.

414
00:29:38,418 --> 00:29:45,169
it will help you in this complicated modern society
to come into alignment with what it is to be a woman.

415
00:29:45,169 --> 00:29:47,713
it will help you become more healthy.

416
00:29:47,713 --> 00:29:53,418
and it's super important to understand and i
can tell you this just as a medical intuitive.

417
00:29:53,418 --> 00:29:59,465
that so much of the reason that we as women suffer
here is because our very delicate biochemistry.

418
00:29:59,465 --> 00:30:02,749
our hormones are way out of balance.

419
00:30:02,749 --> 00:30:07,526
most women i know have hormonal imbalance
problems it's a pervasive issue.

420
00:30:07,526 --> 00:30:11,929
in this book really helps you to
understand how to live your life.

421
00:30:11,929 --> 00:30:18,679
how to structure it so that your hormones will
remain in balance instead of masking symptoms.

422
00:30:18,679 --> 00:30:25,143
let's face it it's exhausting suppressing the
essence of who we are in this life.

423
00:30:25,143 --> 00:30:30,440
and so, I for one think that it's time to stop suppressing
it and to start expressing the Divine Feminine within us.

424
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,180
i for one, i'm ready for it.

425
00:30:34,180 --> 00:30:36,509
have a good week.

426
00:30:36,509 --> 00:30:39,929
