Manifestation And The Divine Feminine

As I contemplate the year ahead--the year I am calling the Year Of Manifestation, something big and amazing jumps out at me. Manifestation is an act of creation. Although conception uses both masculine and feminine traits, creation is given over completely to the feminine side of things. That fact is extremely significant. Last year's energies were tumultuous because the world was transitioning from thousands of years of masculine control into a new era of feminine creation!

This does not mean women will be in charge or that we are going to a female dominated world. That is much too simplistic, and following up on such an idea would unbalance things in a direction we do not wish to go in. Understand we are all made up of both feminine and masculine traits. What I am talking about involves allowing yourself to use your Divine Feminine qualities of creation to help manifest a new world--a world in which we all desire to live!

Now is the time to do a full assessment of self. What are your gifts and talents? How would you like to see those gifts used in the world? If you are not sure, begin to look at all those things that make you happy and joyful. Do you feel happiest surrounded by and caring for family and friends? Maybe cleaning or cooking makes you feel more happy and clear. You might feel happy using your intelligence to solve problems at work. Maybe art or music makes you come alive. Maybe you are a healer and feel fulfilled helping others heal. Whatever your gifts are, don't judge them. Know they are needed in the big picture of creation!

This is also the time to nurture and grow your personal Divine Feminine qualities. Find time every day to connect to your heart through meditation. Ask questions about the direction you need to go in and listen long enough to hear the answers! Allow yourself to dream...to imagine...to envision!

The power of manifestation lies in your ability to connect to that Divine Feminine part of self--literally your heart! Allow yourself to use these muscles of creation to bring new life into the world. Who you BE in the world matters!!! Make sure your frequency is one that builds and raises the frequency of those around you. It is your Divine Feminine which will manifest a better world.

Corruption Of The Divine Masculine

We are in process of rebirthing the Divine Feminine. That said, it is important for people to understand just what the Divine Masculine is and how it has been usurped and corrupted to benefit a few dark people/entities. We all have both masculine and feminine qualities, although certain qualities are more pronounced in some than in others. Because corruption has occurred on both sides, defining this half will help bring understanding of where to go and how to proceed.

The Divine Masculine is a warrior for light and truth. It is the masculine side of things that is tuned in to the physical 3D world. With this in mind, the Divine Masculine uses its innate strength to become protector and provider for the feminine half. The value of the Divine Masculine's rational thinking and focus enables one to quickly make decisions based on safety and allows the person to create valuable tools and structures which can be used to enhance life. The Divine Masculine also understands the value of the Divine Feminine--especially the feminine ability to connect to the unseen world through the heart and intuition--and works to protect and nurture it. 

There are many ways the Divine Masculine has been corrupted. First and foremost is allowing the idea that physical strength and rational wisdom is far superior to heart strength and intuitive wisdom. This has led to societies and cultures where woman are physically dominated and forced to become second class citizens without the power or even credit they deserve. That said, there is actually a much more insidious reason we have been conned into believing this. When we focus on the physical aspect of things and disrespect the intuitive, we become separate from our hearts and separate from the source of our own innate power. When we believe we are separate and powerless, it is easy for those who are power hungry to take our power and dominate and enslave us. Ironic, but true!

As we work to bring forth the Divine Feminine to her rightful place of equality, we need to understand the Divine Masculine is a necessary part of the process. We cannot bring out the Divine Feminine without the Divine Masculine doing its job! 

Understand that we all have within us both masculine and feminine qualities, divine and corrupt. It is time to force the darkness to recede so we can usher in a new world of light, love and connection where all are valued for the beauty they possess. It is not about domination. It is about equality. It is about balance. By relying on the Divine Masculine we have the physical power and the drive/focus to make it so.

What Women Deserve

As I work through the process of self-healing, I am amazed at the amount of information that comes through as I ask questions. My personal journey lately has involved large blocks of time spent on assisting and reawakening the Divine Feminine aspects of myself, and with that process comes a very profound truth. The Divine Feminine has been corrupted to the point that women have become second class citizens. Women deserve so much more than what they have endured.

It begins from the time we are born. While emphasis is placed on our feminine side, it is not on the Divine Feminine. For example, instead of focusing on the intuitive, empathic nature of the heart we are told what we are experiencing is our own internal drama not related to the outside world. We are taught to contain and suppress it instead of allowing the awareness intuition brings to assist us in our ability to love and heal. The focus is all on what is outside self as opposed to what lies within. For girls, that emphasis is placed on how they can serve with little or no thought given to what sort of gifts they should expect back in return. Even making oneself more "beautiful" is considered by many to be of utmost importance.

By the time a girl hits puberty, her self esteem has usually hit an all-time low. Instead of being nurtured in her feminine gifts, she has spent her life being compared to the masculine idea of self and found lacking. Societal memes such as "run like a girl", "fight like a girl", "girls aren't good at math and science", etc. all contribute to girls looking at outside attributes and comparing their personal differences to boys, who are held up as the standard. Consequently, girls often continue down the road of subservience.

By the time girls reach adulthood the transformation is complete. They give everything they have in their roles of daughter, wife, mother. Even when their energy finds a career they enjoy and can make a difference in they often minimize their contributions. Most of their energy gets expended on the outside world while they forget they deserve an equal energy back.

The fact of the matter is, women deserve much more than they have been given. They are not doormats catering to a man's every whim. They are not inferior in mind or body, regardless of physical strength. They should not be held to higher standards of beauty than men. In fact, the Divine Masculine actually honors the beauty and strength of the whole woman--especially the divine, intuitive connection to Source energy.

It is time for women to acknowledge what they do have and demand more from the world at large. We are strong, we are capable, we are connected, and we will connect you to that place of heart! We will guide you home!

Arise The Priestess!

I grew up in a church that was controlled by a male priesthood. That all changed in the late 80's when they finally began to allow women into the priesthood ranks. Many people who held literal interpretations of the scriptures fell away as they truly believed that only men should rule in the church, over the home, etc. Regardless of this upbringing, I always felt my own personal connection to the Divine. The more I follow this journey of the heart, the more I understand something quite profound: true spirituality is a result of a person connecting to the Divine Feminine part of self, not the Divine Masculine that religion seems to focus on.

The Divine Masculine is connected to and aligned with the more physical aspects of self: physical strength, protection, provider. This is the part of self tied to the brain, rational thinking, and focus--the part that uses experience to navigate around potential pitfalls. It does indeed play an important role in our lives, but it is not the main role or the only role.

It is the Divine Feminine that completes and compliments the Divine Masculine. The Divine Feminine is the part of self that is connected to the heart and intuition. It uses the power of divine love to bind us all together in Oneness.

The problem with an all male priesthood is that it tends to focus on only one aspect of self, and in its present form it is a corrupted version of the Divine Masculine. Somewhere along the way, priesthood and religion became about ruling through mind and physical strength. In this form, the masculine becomes coercion and control. It is no longer about support and protection.

It is time for the Divine Feminine to shake off the chains of her slavery! No longer can she be forced to play second fiddle when her strength and power lies in her connection to Source--her connection to heart! The Divine Feminine has been neglected long enough!

Awaken to the lies of our programming! Awaken to the power and wisdom that comes from tapping into the intuitive heart! Allow your Divine Masculine to protect and support your Divine Feminine's spirituality!

Arise the priestess! Reconnect to the Divine within!!!

Holding The Space, Healing The Collective

Ever feel like your personal problems are part of a much bigger collective of problems? This is not your imagination! Because we are all One (and not the separate entities we believe ourselves to be), the vast majority of problems we experience are shared by the vast majority of people on the planet. This holds considerable promise when it comes to healing. We can actually help heal the whole planet when we hold the space and work on our own piece of it!

Recently, I have experienced some emotional triggers that really made me take notice. With the help of a good friend and fellow healer, I was able to isolate the tension I felt to my abdomen--basically the area of the Solar Plexus (3rd) Chakra which is connected to power and self-esteem. I visualized it as this huge, black twisted mass that was highly contracted.

After talking about it and asking questions, I understood this mass was all held in place by suppression. I began to recall bits and pieces of numerous female past lives where someone or something managed to place me in some sort of box so I could not be who I was. It was the suppression of the Divine Feminine. As each layer was allowed to build up, the mass grew bigger.

We worked to send healing light and energy to the mass. In process, it came to me that the last few lifetimes the suppression was so intense because I had begun to suppress myself. I had become so tired of the physical pain I had endured that I suppressed myself before it got physical. The healing power of Mother Earth was brought in as she has the actual power to ground and center us. This had almost immediate positive effect on me because I have a very strong connection to the land.

The really cool part about this process was that it felt as though we were not only doing personal work, but that healing this place in myself was serving to heal the suppression of the Divine Feminine at large. There is still a great deal of work to be done, but it is happening. I see evidence as I connect with many of my friends, They are also working through many of the same issues that confront the Divine Feminine on this planet, and they too are beginning to overcome them.

It is time to tune in to all those sacred places within that connect you to the Divine Feminine part of yourself. It is time to remember yourself as healer, as caretaker, as intuitive counselor. It is time to embody unconditional love. Heal yourself and the planet heals with you. Holding the space for one holds the space for all!

Mama

I have a wonderfully loving and spiritual earthly mother that I have learned a lot from. Still, this post is not about her. It's about a mother who is both physical and spiritual and is mother to us all--Gaia, better known as Mother Earth.

Mama is making a comeback in a big way lately. Terrible men have made technologies that have hurt and destroyed Mama. They've polluted her land, atmosphere and water. They've harvested her life's blood and precious organs in the pursuit of riches--even to the point of injecting her with toxic wastes in order to gain more. Still, with all that she continues to work to heal herself at the same time she heals us from these toxic effects. Mama's heart still beats. As it does so, healing energies are projected from within to the beings who receive life from her.

Mama is the ultimate life support system. She provides all the essential ingredients needed to sustain life on her. She provides all these things to every living being on her, all without charge. None of us would continue to exist without her  support, yet many of us believe we are more entitled to Mama's resources than others of us. We even harvest her resources in an attempt to seize power and control. Mama gives to all equally. It is humans that don't always play fair.

Mama is the ultimate healer. On a physical level, she emits electrons. Scientific studies have proven these electrons have an antioxidant effect on the body when we are directly connected to Mama through touching her, human flesh directly to earth or natural water source. Animals and plants naturally get this from her. It is only man who becomes physically disconnected through his own "advances" in technology.

The healing is spiritual as well. Those who take the time to connect to her through communing with nature can feel it. I know for me personally, my mind is soothed and I feel I have the strength to go on after spending even a few minutes walking in the woods or on the beach. Even being outside among the trees and grass restores me to the point of feeling much more grounded and connected to my heart.

Mama is the ultimate example of the Divine Feminine. She is provider, nurturer, healer. She connects to everything that lives on her in unseen ways. It is her love for all her children that sustains us. Man has spent thousands of years trying to control and tame her, yet for all those attempts she still manages to resist and provides life and healing to her children.

Mama loves us all--even the "naughty" ones. Isn't it time we gave Mama back all the love and consideration she has shown us?

The Refiner's Fire

I had a breakfast appointment with a friend the other day. This particular friend and I have a lot in common because we share the experience of having been divorced. Both of us suffered forms of suppression and abuse in those relationships, and both of us seemed to have learned a great deal from our suffering. What hit me was that there are some very powerful lights here on Earth who apparently agreed to such a life before coming here.

We discussed the idea of being marked--bringing such light into our reality that darkness is attracted to it. Indeed, this is the way our world operates. It's sort of moth to a flame with the moth equating to the darkness. The only way that darkness can be transformed is by approaching the light, often to the point of being consumed by it.

We also talked about marriage to unequal partners and the fact that marrying someone who is not your equal can bring you down. Ending the relationship helps, but at what cost? It took me years of rebuilding to get back to my former self. I remember going in to the relationship knowing I was stronger and believing I had enough strength to help my partner through it. The thing is, you cannot fix someone who does not want to be fixed.

As I chatted with my friend, I realized the mutual theme here was the suppression of the divine feminine. Life on planet Earth has been about squashing all those qualities that are sacred in the feminine--intuition, caretaking, and unconditional love--qualities of the heart that women are so often drawn to. Even the rise of feminism has managed to suppress this divine feminine spirit as these heart qualities are ruled over by the more masculine powers of the mind. It isn't about bringing out the feminine. It's about becoming masculine to succeed in a very masculine world.

Those women like myself who have gone through this process of overcoming suppression have been sent through a refiner's fire. It's a process of cleaning out all that negativity and leaving the pure feminine heart intact. The gold that lies within can then be seen in all its strength, glory and power.

Arise from your graves and allow that light within to shine for the world to see. It is the refining process that has made you better! It is the refining process that makes you whole!

Emergence Of The Divine Feminine

For thousands of years, our world has been dominated by a corrupted form of the masculine mindset. Typically, the masculine is what you would think of it as--rational, decisions based on the mind's information and experience set, strength (particularly physical), etc. The masculine is grounded and deeply connected to all things physical. The corruption comes in because these same qualities have been used to suppress and dominate its balance--the divine feminine. Instead of protecting the feminine, the strength of the masculine has been used to control. The logic of the mind (masculine) has been made to seem superior over the logic of the heart (feminine).  

The feminine has been corrupted as well. This can been seen clearly in the feminist movement that began in the 1960's. Instead of bringing forth the divine feminine characteristics of intuition and nurturing, feminism was portrayed as women taking on the roles of men. Instead of being the balance, it embraced more of the same. Women were encouraged to leave their "weaker" feminine side to use the same warring and corruption that was thought to be masculine. The corruption was by design because it is the feminine that is deeply connected to the spiritual aspect of life. When you cut someone off from their spiritual base, they feel isolated and separate and will not claim the innate power that is their birthright.

The world we know is on the edge of a precipice. The war, the poverty, and the disease exist because we have allowed unfettered control by the corrupted masculine mindset. Our world is seriously out of balance.

What will bring us back into balance? We can restructure our world through bringing back our own divine feminine natures! (And yes, whether you're male or female, part of your nature is based in the divine feminine.)

The divine feminine is what emerges when we begin to get back to our spiritual roots, and we do this by connecting to our hearts and the divine connection that is found within. This is the place in all of us that has been suppressed for thousands of years and what we must get back to if we are to solve the world's problems. Remember: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!

A daily practice of getting quiet is all you need to get started. The following is a simple list to help you get started on your journey of connecting to your heart.

1. Set aside at least half and hour every day as "Quiet Time". The same time of day will help your body attune itself to the practice. Keep this time sacred!
2. Make sure the place you set aside is quiet and relatively distraction free. Again, the same place every day will help your body adjust and make it more ready to listen.
3. Do not judge the thoughts that come! This is important! Your mind will likely wander a good bit when you first get started. Do not be hard on yourself because of it. As with any practice, it takes a while for your body to adjust.
4. Remember that the breakthroughs come just as you arrive at the point of giving up!

The energy of the Divine Feminine can be found in each one of us as we continue to focus in on our own connection to divinity and spirit. The more we embrace this connection, the better we are able to express our own BEing in the world.

The Gifts We Receive From Our Mothers

From the moment our spirits materialize into physical form in our mothers' wombs, we become intimately connected to that part of us that is the divine feminine. Sometimes that womb experience is the only experience we have with our biological mothers as other people step in to take on the role of mother. Mothers are all those who take a hand in nurturing us, protecting us, and raising us as we grow (whether female or male). What is it that makes "mothering" such a valuable part of our life process?

The divine feminine part of ourselves is the place of heart--that intuitive, all-knowing, "connected" place. It is the place that hears all, sees all, feels all, knows all (even when we choose to overlook the information). The divine feminine is intimately connected to our emotions and derives its strength and power from that place. It is the place of divine love.

Mothers are the people in our lives who make sure our physical needs are met. They do their best to see we have a warm place to sleep and food in our tummies (sometimes going hungry themselves so we can eat). They teach us all those things we need to know to cope with and even survive in our society.

Mothers are the first people who know when something is wrong. Intuitively, they pick up on the information that something is not right in our world. They know when we are sad or angry and provide us with the tools necessary to overcome those things. They pick up on when we are sick and do those things necessary to pinpoint exactly what is needed to make us feel better. They also magnify our joys by allowing our joys to become theirs.

In very real ways, mothers are our first connections to God in physical form. Mothers teach us how to observe those things felt with the heart and use that wisdom and guidance to make better decisions and create positive change in the world. Their unconditional love gives us the power overcome those obstacles we inevitably face. The gifts mothers give us enable us to stay grounded and connected to all that IS through the power of divine love.
