WEBVTT 00:00:05.930 --> 00:00:23.670 The Divine Feminine(How to Awaken The Divine Feminine Within You)[subtitles using inown.org] 00:00:30.010 --> 00:00:38.140 hello everyone. today's subject is divine feminine. 00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:45.402 I want to preface this episode by saying that all beings have aspects of divine feminine 00:00:45.402 --> 00:00:48.100 and divine masculine present within them. 00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:51.534 but this particular episode is designed and aimed 00:00:51.534 --> 00:00:55.365 at those who are born into this physical reality as females. 00:00:55.365 --> 00:00:58.240 who are resisting the Divine Feminine within them. 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.470 who wish to come into more alignment with the feminine essence. 00:01:02.470 --> 00:01:04.925 which they chose to come in with 00:01:04.925 --> 00:01:08.738 when they chose the incarnation of a female body for this life. 00:01:08.738 --> 00:01:15.536 part of living from the heart and living with integrity is to come into alignment 00:01:15.536 --> 00:01:18.224 with the essence of who we really are. 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. 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. 00:01:31.659 --> 00:01:33.708 now, contrast meaning polar energies. 00:01:33.708 --> 00:01:36.768 I know what I don't want so I know what I do want. 00:01:36.768 --> 00:01:42.370 part of what develops out of polar energies is duality from unity. 00:01:42.370 --> 00:01:45.439 so if we look at the universe in terms of unity 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.791 the dual aspect within that unity is god and goddess 00:01:49.791 --> 00:01:54.610 and translated into the physical dimension that is man and woman. 00:01:54.610 --> 00:01:56.601 yin and yang. 00:01:56.601 --> 00:02:02.576 the Divine Feminine is the goddess. 00:02:02.576 --> 00:02:04.960 The divine masculine is God. 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:12.770 divine feminine energy represents these aspects within the universe. 00:02:12.770 --> 00:02:19.747 restoration, life, renewal, creation, birth, healing, 00:02:19.747 --> 00:02:32.511 receptivity, openness, nurturing, love, understanding, compassion, 00:02:32.511 --> 00:02:47.465 insight, intuition, wisdom, forgiveness, the moon, connection, harmony and sensuality. 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. 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. 00:03:04.970 --> 00:03:08.261 it's understandable why many of us haven't done this. 00:03:08.261 --> 00:03:14.297 in our modern day society, it's extremely hard to cultivate open receptivity 00:03:14.297 --> 00:03:19.811 when you're competing in the workplace like somebody of us are doing as women. 00:03:19.811 --> 00:03:23.536 but our health as women is dependent on us 00:03:23.536 --> 00:03:29.015 allowing ourselves to come into contact with these things which we have suppressed. 00:03:29.015 --> 00:03:37.069 these aspects of divine feminine and allowing those aspects of our true selves to express themselves. 00:03:37.069 --> 00:03:43.069 our womanhood is unique, meaning that each woman is unique expression of divine feminine. 00:03:43.730 --> 00:03:48.950 what that means is, we're not looking to conform to any archetypal idea of what 00:03:48.950 --> 00:03:52.310 womanhood or divine feminine is or isn't. 00:03:52.310 --> 00:03:58.571 we are looking to define what it is for us to allow our own divine feminine. 00:03:58.571 --> 00:04:02.090 to flow through us to express into this physical dimension. 00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:08.256 this is about releasing the things that disallow our true feminine essence. 00:04:08.256 --> 00:04:13.187 for radiating through us and reclaiming who we really are. 00:04:13.187 --> 00:04:16.286 many of us have built our lives and our image 00:04:16.286 --> 00:04:20.220 either in resistance to the traditional idea of what feminine should be. 00:04:20.220 --> 00:04:24.360 or in support of the traditional idea of what feminine should be. 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.530 this is a problem because neither course of action represents our true selves. 00:04:28.530 --> 00:04:31.947 neither allows us to be who we really are. 00:04:31.947 --> 00:04:36.291 instead of being genuine to our true feelings relative to our feminine identity. 00:04:36.291 --> 00:04:39.674 we spend our time rebelling against expectations 00:04:39.674 --> 00:04:42.059 or embracing expectations that we don't actually enjoy. 00:04:42.059 --> 00:04:44.923 because we desperately want acceptance and approval. 00:04:44.923 --> 00:04:46.226 we should ask ourselves. 00:04:46.226 --> 00:04:51.840 is there any part of the traditional gender role of being female that we actually enjoy? 00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:55.974 for example, do we actually enjoy wearing high heels or makeup 00:04:55.974 --> 00:04:59.825 because we enjoy the unique and creative image we are projecting to the world? 00:04:59.825 --> 00:05:02.812 are we using these things to highlight our femininity? 00:05:02.812 --> 00:05:04.500 or do we do it because we feel we are not adequate without it? 00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:09.000 and must simply do it because we are female? 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.071 do we enjoy the idea of a man being a provider 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? 00:05:17.248 --> 00:05:21.090 or are we accepting a man as a provider because we do not feel capable? 00:05:21.090 --> 00:05:26.518 the answer will vary from woman to woman and then we need to ask ourselves. 00:05:26.518 --> 00:05:30.750 does the answer we receive come from a good emotional space or a negative emotional space? 00:05:30.750 --> 00:05:38.190 i'll give you a personal example, a while ago I stopped wearing makeup all together. 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. 00:05:45.890 --> 00:05:49.369 I started getting really frustrated the idea that men can just roll out of bed, 00:05:49.369 --> 00:05:50.459 just throw their clothes on 00:05:50.459 --> 00:05:52.560 and in 10 minutes they are in their car. 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.770 whereas we are expected to perfect ourselves before we leave the house. 00:05:55.770 --> 00:06:01.239 it made me just mad enough that I stopped wearing makeup all together. 00:06:01.239 --> 00:06:03.680 and then I ask myself. 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 00:06:09.057 --> 00:06:11.616 or does it come from a place of extreme resistance? 00:06:11.616 --> 00:06:13.635 know what I know about the universe 00:06:13.635 --> 00:06:17.399 i understand the resistance is total disallowing of who we really are. 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:21.083 you can't be in an aspect of happiness and be resistant at the same time. 00:06:21.083 --> 00:06:24.139 so i started to explore my idea about makeup. 00:06:24.139 --> 00:06:27.199 what did I find? I actually love it. 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:28.699 I'm an artist at heart. 00:06:28.699 --> 00:06:33.500 i love the idea that i can highlight what I want to show to the world. 00:06:33.500 --> 00:06:36.120 I get to choose what aspects of myself. 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.270 i get to highlight or diminish. 00:06:38.270 --> 00:06:41.123 I get to choose what colors I wear. 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. 00:06:48.169 --> 00:06:51.410 not the idea that i'm not good enough without it. 00:06:51.410 --> 00:06:55.354 which is what makes make up an appropriate decision for me. 00:06:55.354 --> 00:06:58.509 may not be an appropriate decision for all women. 00:06:58.509 --> 00:07:01.417 to me wearing makeup feels like empowerment 00:07:01.417 --> 00:07:05.563 not powerlessness to the idea that i'm not good enough without makeup. 00:07:05.563 --> 00:07:08.449 which is how it was before. 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. 00:07:13.714 --> 00:07:18.349 or another woman might ask the same question and decide that is not right for her. 00:07:18.349 --> 00:07:25.669 here's another story, I was raised with a mother who is a seething feminist. 00:07:25.669 --> 00:07:28.121 my mother is a byproduct of the sixties. 00:07:28.121 --> 00:07:30.877 she was a part of the woman's rights movement 00:07:30.877 --> 00:07:34.759 and so my mother has been in resistance to her own femininity for years. 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:39.740 ironically under the guise that she is for femininity. 00:07:40.250 --> 00:07:44.509 she has also been rejecting the traditional view of femininity for years. 00:07:44.509 --> 00:07:46.550 she dressed like a man. 00:07:46.550 --> 00:07:48.505 she burned her bra's in public. 00:07:48.505 --> 00:07:51.154 these are all demonstrations of rebellion. 00:07:51.154 --> 00:07:53.743 and so of course by virtue of her resistance 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. 00:07:58.490 --> 00:08:03.440 but what did this mean for me as a child. 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. 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, 00:08:14.030 --> 00:08:17.979 pathetic and at the very least to blame for the continual tyranny of men. 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.659 I was repulsed by pink growing up because of that idea that I was raised with. 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. 00:08:28.668 --> 00:08:31.664 but when I went through therapy several years ago 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. 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. 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:47.139 it is one of my favorite colors and yes, it feels very safe to me. 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. 00:08:50.990 --> 00:08:53.410 had to do with the fact that i was associating it with something. 00:08:53.410 --> 00:08:56.852 something which I saw is negative. 00:08:56.852 --> 00:08:58.807 something which I saw is powerless. 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. 00:09:05.260 --> 00:09:09.190 so for me coming into alignment with divine feminine was to embrace pink. 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. 00:09:18.310 --> 00:09:23.170 we need to commit to only keeping beliefs and practices that add to our happiness. 00:09:23.170 --> 00:09:27.459 this means that many of us during this process of embracing our own divine feminine nature 00:09:27.459 --> 00:09:32.170 will be embracing things that are traditionally seen as feminine. 00:09:32.170 --> 00:09:34.870 while some of us will be discarding them. 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. 00:09:41.311 --> 00:09:44.500 to decide what works for you and what doesn't. 00:09:44.500 --> 00:09:47.890 what serves your personal happiness and what doesn't. 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. 00:09:52.329 --> 00:09:55.540 based on the fact that other people have decided that it doesn't work for them. 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. 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.740 here are some suggestions which will help you tap into your Divine Feminine essence. 00:10:05.740 --> 00:10:10.424 the first being create. 00:10:10.424 --> 00:10:13.785 feminine essence, Divine Feminine is all about creation. 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 00:10:20.020 --> 00:10:22.844 you need to learn how to allow yourself to create. 00:10:22.844 --> 00:10:26.162 one of the best ways to do this is to start doing art. 00:10:26.162 --> 00:10:30.689 there's not one art form that a superior or inferior to any other. 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 00:10:37.478 --> 00:10:39.388 or this type of art be at painting 00:10:39.388 --> 00:10:41.590 or this type of art being dance. 00:10:41.590 --> 00:10:44.965 there's no limit to the way that you could create. 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. 00:10:51.095 --> 00:10:55.449 I suggest picking up the book "The Artist's Way". 00:10:55.449 --> 00:10:57.760 The Artist Way by Julia 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. 00:11:04.259 --> 00:11:11.744 to come into alignment with the aspect of them that does want to create through art 00:11:11.744 --> 00:11:15.100 and to allow that side to become unblocked 00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:17.440 and flow unrestricted into the physical dimension. 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:21.186 the second suggestion is to collaborate. 00:11:21.186 --> 00:11:22.684 come together as women. 00:11:22.684 --> 00:11:28.470 one of the most healing things when it comes to the divine feminine essence expressing itself 00:11:28.470 --> 00:11:31.484 is to collect yourself together as a group of women. 00:11:31.484 --> 00:11:34.481 to set it up or attend groups oriented towards women. 00:11:34.481 --> 00:11:40.803 come together for the sole purpose of healing and expressing your own feminine essence. 00:11:40.803 --> 00:11:42.430 what is it to be a woman? 00:11:42.430 --> 00:11:45.720 get together and talk about it. 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.940 several cultures in our ancient past understood this. 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 00:11:57.265 --> 00:12:00.569 is the idea behind the entire Red Tent movement. 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 00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:08.160 over to the house and we do a meditation on the womb. 00:12:08.160 --> 00:12:13.089 so what we do in meditation, is after we breathe 00:12:13.089 --> 00:12:19.272 enough to Center our minds we visualize ourselves sitting in our own wombs. 00:12:19.272 --> 00:12:21.364 we observe our wombs. 00:12:21.364 --> 00:12:25.251 we observe the way that we're feeling relative to our wombs. 00:12:25.251 --> 00:12:29.179 and then we're treating our wombs as if it is a separate entity. 00:12:29.179 --> 00:12:31.769 we ask any question we want to ask it. 00:12:31.769 --> 00:12:34.221 we asking about how its feeling? 00:12:34.221 --> 00:12:35.293 what it wants? 00:12:35.293 --> 00:12:37.420 what bad memories it holds? 00:12:37.420 --> 00:12:42.036 you can hold groups which are centered around a feminine subjects such as periods 00:12:42.036 --> 00:12:44.730 or motherhood and open up the floor for discussion. 00:12:44.730 --> 00:12:47.970 it's incredible the kind of healing that can occur when women are opening up 00:12:47.970 --> 00:12:50.189 about their own womanhood to each other. 00:12:50.189 --> 00:12:52.403 there's no right or wrong way to do this 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. 00:12:57.839 --> 00:13:01.439 I do have to interject caveat here. 00:13:01.980 --> 00:13:07.259 usually when women gather into women groups there is a no guys allowed policy. 00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:13.940 but i want to remind you that exclusion is the exact opposite of divine feminine essence. 00:13:13.940 --> 00:13:18.200 Divine Feminine is all about inclusion. 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:23.325 separation of the sexes is part of what fuels the fire and misunderstanding between us. 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 00:13:27.660 --> 00:13:31.769 in fact if men want to participate in these gatherings then consider yourself in good company. 00:13:31.769 --> 00:13:34.810 this means, the men in your life or not threatened by the divine feminine. 00:13:34.810 --> 00:13:38.800 and so it will be that much easier for you to express yours around them. 00:13:38.800 --> 00:13:42.580 I am simply suggesting that you gather together as a group of women because of 00:13:42.580 --> 00:13:45.948 the fact that it can be so healing to the divine feminine. 00:13:45.948 --> 00:13:50.567 and other women can help you to come into alignment with your Divine Feminine. 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. 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. 00:14:02.260 --> 00:14:05.994 it is a byproduct of embarrassment and shame that we do not feel 00:14:05.994 --> 00:14:09.301 as if we can open up with ourselves as women when a man is present. 00:14:09.301 --> 00:14:11.924 but having an open minded curious man present 00:14:11.924 --> 00:14:15.040 or several present at these gatherings can actually help us 00:14:15.040 --> 00:14:19.976 as women to learn that we can unleash the Divine Feminine around men. 00:14:19.976 --> 00:14:21.880 think of it as rehab. 00:14:21.880 --> 00:14:28.036 besides we are always complaining that men do not understand us 00:14:28.036 --> 00:14:31.331 so help them out, open up and maybe they will. 00:14:31.331 --> 00:14:33.329 explore your sensuality 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. 00:14:39.130 --> 00:14:42.130 do your surroundings reflect sensuality? 00:14:42.640 --> 00:14:46.180 are they aesthetically pleasing to you? if not it's time to redecorate. 00:14:46.900 --> 00:14:50.020 surround yourself and aesthetically pleasing things. 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. 00:14:55.940 --> 00:14:58.642 surround yourself in color. 00:14:58.642 --> 00:15:03.073 and it is time to begin exploring your own sexuality. 00:15:03.073 --> 00:15:06.742 our bodies should never be off-limits to us 00:15:06.742 --> 00:15:10.810 it is incredibly important that we explore our bodies 00:15:10.810 --> 00:15:13.653 that we learn how to sexually pleasure ourselves as women. 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. 00:15:18.790 --> 00:15:22.870 so for those of you that feel cut off from the side of your life. 00:15:22.870 --> 00:15:26.589 I suggest a book called "Getting Off" by Jamye Waxman. 00:15:26.589 --> 00:15:29.589 there's a double benefit to this aspect of sensuality. 00:15:30.160 --> 00:15:35.314 if you learn how to pleasure yourself sexually as a woman 00:15:35.314 --> 00:15:40.398 you'll be releasing tons and tons of stress relieving chemicals 00:15:40.398 --> 00:15:44.496 and when you do that it helps your hormones balance out. 00:15:44.496 --> 00:15:48.699 the next suggestion is to explore, question and heal. 00:15:48.699 --> 00:15:58.720 your ideas and beliefs and feelings relative to motherhood and relative to your own mother. 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.504 it doesn't really matter whether you're planning on having children are not. 00:16:03.504 --> 00:16:06.819 many of us have unhealthy ideas and feelings about motherhood. 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. 00:16:12.776 --> 00:16:17.170 as if it is our only way to have significance and justify our existence. 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 00:16:20.620 --> 00:16:26.029 or as mothers when we do end up having children. 00:16:26.029 --> 00:16:32.500 also your first introduction to divine feminine is your relationship with your mother. 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. 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. 00:16:46.234 --> 00:16:50.529 for some of us this is a tall order. 00:16:50.529 --> 00:16:53.410 don't worry this doesn't mean you have to reconnect with your mother physically. 00:16:53.410 --> 00:16:55.720 it doesn't mean you have to become best friends. 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:57.631 she does not even have to be alive. 00:16:57.631 --> 00:17:00.910 but it means we need to separate ourselves from her. 00:17:00.910 --> 00:17:04.425 so we can shut off all the damaging ideas she passed on to us. 00:17:04.425 --> 00:17:07.390 we need to forgive her for her damaging perceptions. 00:17:07.390 --> 00:17:09.788 we need to set ourselves free from her. 00:17:09.788 --> 00:17:14.151 and we will find that once we distance ourselves mentally from her regime. 00:17:14.151 --> 00:17:17.194 we can learn to be ourselves who we choose to be fully. 00:17:17.194 --> 00:17:20.364 and only then can we make peace with our mothers. 00:17:20.364 --> 00:17:23.496 and it is only when we make peace with our mothers 00:17:23.496 --> 00:17:26.303 that we can truly embody the Divine Feminine and within us. 00:17:26.303 --> 00:17:30.220 examine your current perspective of womanhood. 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:37.076 explore the current perspective of womanhood and what it meant to be female in your family. 00:17:37.076 --> 00:17:42.010 and explore what it means to be female in your greater Society. 00:17:42.010 --> 00:17:47.518 it's important that we examine the gender roles that exist within the society 00:17:47.518 --> 00:17:51.463 of where we grew up where we live in the world specifically. 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. 00:17:56.755 --> 00:17:58.980 so what does it mean to be female? 00:17:58.980 --> 00:18:01.720 this is going to vary based on where you live. 00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:05.357 it's going to vary based on where you live even within the same country. 00:18:05.357 --> 00:18:09.340 for example, where i live in America the traditional rule of being female entails. 00:18:09.340 --> 00:18:10.564 make up 00:18:10.564 --> 00:18:12.400 high heels 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:14.291 birth control pills 00:18:14.291 --> 00:18:18.167 concealing periods with tampons and pads 00:18:18.167 --> 00:18:18.968 dresses 00:18:18.968 --> 00:18:20.361 wearing bras 00:18:20.361 --> 00:18:22.720 shaved legs and armpits 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:24.338 getting married 00:18:24.338 --> 00:18:25.720 raising children 00:18:26.260 --> 00:18:27.059 cooking 00:18:27.059 --> 00:18:27.958 cleaning 00:18:27.958 --> 00:18:30.389 kindness and caretaking 00:18:30.389 --> 00:18:33.807 not managing the household money 00:18:33.807 --> 00:18:35.887 not having careers 00:18:35.887 --> 00:18:39.658 self-sacrificing to remain virtuous 00:18:39.658 --> 00:18:40.810 shopping 00:18:40.810 --> 00:18:42.398 decorating the household 00:18:42.398 --> 00:18:47.170 and allowing men to do the heavy lifting or manual labor jobs for us. 00:18:47.170 --> 00:18:51.872 you want to examine the ones that you connect with and enjoy. 00:18:51.872 --> 00:18:55.900 and the ones that you do not connect with and do not enjoy. 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. 00:19:01.090 --> 00:19:05.005 I want to tell you a little story about my next door neighbor. 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. 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. 00:19:17.320 --> 00:19:19.768 seems like every time I look outside the window. 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. 00:19:24.218 --> 00:19:27.160 she's baking cookies and delivering them around the neighborhood. 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. 00:19:34.918 --> 00:19:37.831 I feel like a terrible example 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. 00:19:44.553 --> 00:19:50.540 now for a long long time I felt inadequate super inadequate. 00:19:50.540 --> 00:19:54.783 every time I ran into this woman I would feel worse and worse about myself. 00:19:54.783 --> 00:19:58.469 and then I sat down and I ask myself the question. 00:19:58.469 --> 00:20:02.079 do I really want to live the kind of life that she's living? 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.403 or do I feel this kind of envy for her 00:20:04.403 --> 00:20:07.580 because I think I should feel that way relative to raising children and I don't? 00:20:08.090 --> 00:20:12.980 the answer was, I feel miserable when i'm sitting at home raising children. 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. 00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:23.134 I love him more than anything in the world. 00:20:23.134 --> 00:20:27.675 but the idea of being the one who stays home and raises him 00:20:27.675 --> 00:20:31.558 while the men in my life goes out and works feels like prison to me. 00:20:31.558 --> 00:20:37.993 and so for me expressing my own divine feminine does not mean staying at home 00:20:37.993 --> 00:20:41.409 and being the sole person who raises my child. 00:20:41.409 --> 00:20:44.985 while the man in my life goes out and works. 00:20:44.985 --> 00:20:50.328 where that may actually be the expression of divine feminine within my neighbor. 00:20:50.328 --> 00:20:54.078 for me it does not mean I'm any less of a mother. 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. 00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:02.700 I am a different kind of mother. 00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:05.949 that is because the divine essence within me 00:21:05.949 --> 00:21:09.898 Divine Feminine expresses itself relative to Motherhood differently. 00:21:09.898 --> 00:21:15.423 than her divine feminine expresses itself relative to mothering. 00:21:15.423 --> 00:21:20.391 so staying home to raise children feels like prison to me 00:21:20.391 --> 00:21:24.380 where as much to the dismay of the podiatrist in this nation. 00:21:24.380 --> 00:21:26.139 I love wearing high heels. 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. 00:21:34.172 --> 00:21:37.916 speaking of which you will find relative to divine feminine 00:21:37.916 --> 00:21:42.967 but there are some aspects of divine feminine which you are perfectly in alignment with. 00:21:42.967 --> 00:21:46.426 while others you are very out of alignment with. 00:21:46.426 --> 00:21:50.870 for example, I am perfectly in alignment with sensuality relative to divine feminine. 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. 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. 00:22:02.390 --> 00:22:07.700 whereas I am not healed relative to the Divine Feminine when it comes to motherhood. 00:22:07.700 --> 00:22:12.290 so for me learning how to allow the divine feminine within me to express itself. 00:22:12.290 --> 00:22:16.429 means coming into an aspect of healing relative to motherhood. 00:22:16.429 --> 00:22:20.179 6 get in touch with your intuition. 00:22:20.179 --> 00:22:22.429 this means, listen to your emotions. 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. 00:22:28.884 --> 00:22:31.488 womanhood is a receptive state of being. 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. 00:22:37.534 --> 00:22:38.900 and part of what comes with that 00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:43.571 openness is receptivity to that which is beyond the physical dimension. 00:22:43.571 --> 00:22:48.290 part of what comes with that openness is receptivity to other people. 00:22:48.290 --> 00:22:54.326 so the question to ask yourself is, do i shut people out? 00:22:54.326 --> 00:22:57.400 if you find that you shut people out. 00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:59.874 if you build walls against them. 00:22:59.874 --> 00:23:00.836 if you withdraw. 00:23:00.836 --> 00:23:02.155 if you escaped. 00:23:02.155 --> 00:23:06.512 you are not expressing your own divine feminine. 00:23:06.512 --> 00:23:12.530 7 cultivate openness love compassion and gentleness towards the world and towards yourself. 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. 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. 00:23:23.985 --> 00:23:26.780 but we are developing breast cancer because of it. 00:23:26.780 --> 00:23:28.110 we are dying because of it. 00:23:28.110 --> 00:23:31.490 our delicate biochemistry cannot keep up with what we are doing to it. 00:23:31.490 --> 00:23:36.500 spiritual practice will always help you get in touch with these divine feminine qualities. 00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:40.484 if you are watching this video you have already begun the process. 00:23:40.484 --> 00:23:46.086 so i want you to choose 3 changes that you can make on a weekly basis. 00:23:46.086 --> 00:23:50.990 to allow these traits, these qualities to express themselves in your life. 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. 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:01.932 not with a judgmental mind. 00:24:01.932 --> 00:24:07.957 just for the sake of finding compassion and pure understanding for them. 00:24:07.957 --> 00:24:11.780 or you could write affirmations on papers and carry them with you in your purse. 00:24:11.780 --> 00:24:16.640 and hand them out to random people or place them on random car windshields. 00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:20.003 so when the driver gets back they can see this note on the windshield 00:24:20.003 --> 00:24:22.400 and receive some sort of affirmation from the universe. 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.144 that's a perfect expression of divine feminine energy. 00:24:26.144 --> 00:24:31.194 or you could commit to doing one kind thing for you each day. one 00:24:31.194 --> 00:24:32.840 thing for yourself. 00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:35.435 for example, go get yourself a pedicure. 00:24:35.435 --> 00:24:39.290 buy yourself that thing you've always wanted. 00:24:39.290 --> 00:24:43.250 let yourself go to sleep instead of finishing that project. 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. 00:24:49.913 --> 00:24:53.594 you can trust that you know what you need to do in your life 00:24:53.594 --> 00:24:56.750 in order to allow the Divine Feminine to express itself. 00:24:56.750 --> 00:24:58.468 it's been trying to all along. 00:24:58.468 --> 00:25:02.030 it's been knocking at the door and so you know it's there. 00:25:02.030 --> 00:25:07.797 8 do meditations that are aimed specifically at connecting to the Divine Feminine. 00:25:07.797 --> 00:25:10.412 there is no right or wrong way to do this 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. 00:25:15.470 --> 00:25:17.948 guided meditations are extremely effective 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. 00:25:23.389 --> 00:25:27.397 if you type Divine Feminine Meditation in to youtube. 00:25:27.397 --> 00:25:31.340 you'll be bombarded with all kinds of meditations to try. 00:25:31.340 --> 00:25:34.054 so my suggestion is to do any of them in all of them. 00:25:34.054 --> 00:25:38.540 the worst that can happen is you find one that works. 00:25:39.120 --> 00:25:43.771 examine your resistance relative to every aspect of being female on any level. 00:25:43.771 --> 00:25:48.005 such as the spiritual, mental, physical, or societal level. 00:25:48.005 --> 00:25:53.370 resistance is a word we use to describe the energy behind negative emotion. 00:25:53.370 --> 00:25:58.860 do you have resistance therefore negative emotion relative to your periods. 00:25:58.860 --> 00:26:01.392 do you have resistance to natural birth? 00:26:01.392 --> 00:26:04.085 do you have resistance relative to being a wife? 00:26:04.085 --> 00:26:07.530 do you have resistance relative to your own breasts? 00:26:07.530 --> 00:26:11.130 do you have resistance relative to wearing dresses? 00:26:11.730 --> 00:26:15.030 do you have resistance to wearing or not wearing makeup? 00:26:15.540 --> 00:26:18.422 do you have resistance towards being open with others? 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. 00:26:25.080 --> 00:26:30.043 then you have something in the way of divine feminine within you. 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. 00:26:35.580 --> 00:26:38.396 nothing helps Divine Feminine shine through 00:26:38.396 --> 00:26:42.840 better than releasing our resistance relative to the things that you associate with femininity. 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. 00:26:50.100 --> 00:26:56.070 but if you have resistance to dresses you are suppressing the Divine Feminine within you. 00:26:56.070 --> 00:27:00.316 we need to be willing to heal our negative emotions 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. 00:27:06.120 --> 00:27:10.171 divine feminine does not need to be cultivated or created. 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. 00:27:15.090 --> 00:27:19.404 there are some exceptions to this rule. 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. 00:27:24.080 --> 00:27:28.604 the reason I tell you that it's important to know 00:27:28.604 --> 00:27:35.809 that you do not need to cultivate Divine Feminine is because it is important to understand 00:27:35.809 --> 00:27:39.049 that this is not going to be a process which is super super difficult. 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. 00:27:44.235 --> 00:27:46.549 and then work towards becoming a woman. 00:27:47.299 --> 00:27:53.258 this is how it goes, divine feminine being the essence of who you are 00:27:53.258 --> 00:27:57.260 is always there ever-present like a light behind a window. 00:27:57.830 --> 00:28:00.889 the same as worth is like a light behind a window. 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. 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. 00:28:17.316 --> 00:28:19.403 for the Divine Feminine to show through. 00:28:19.403 --> 00:28:25.017 the only thing that's preventing our divine feminine from coming through the physical dimension. 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. 00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:37.947 in other words if we begin to release the things which are obscuring. 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. 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. 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. 00:29:01.159 --> 00:29:04.159 here's the book for any of you that want to get it. 00:29:04.159 --> 00:29:07.474 it's incredible book i'm quite impressed with it 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. 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. 00:29:18.080 --> 00:29:21.289 in fact I believed for a lot of years. 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. 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. 00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:38.418 so I'd suggest that any of you who are women read this book. 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. 00:29:45.169 --> 00:29:47.713 it will help you become more healthy. 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. 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. 00:29:59.465 --> 00:30:02.749 our hormones are way out of balance. 00:30:02.749 --> 00:30:07.526 most women i know have hormonal imbalance problems it's a pervasive issue. 00:30:07.526 --> 00:30:11.929 in this book really helps you to understand how to live your life. 00:30:11.929 --> 00:30:18.679 how to structure it so that your hormones will remain in balance instead of masking symptoms. 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. 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. 00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:34.180 i for one, i'm ready for it. 00:30:34.180 --> 00:30:36.509 have a good week. 00:30:36.509 --> 00:30:39.929 The Divine Feminine(How to Awaken The Divine Feminine Within You)[subtitles using inown.org]
