…The path of powerful change is not masculine or feminine, action or stillness, but the beautiful life force created by the slow dance of the two, with an awareness of our center, our hara, our tan tien, our belly, as the fulcrum upon which the compass needle is balanced. How do we do that? Slowly. By bringing the masculine life spark into the feminine stillness, the feminine intuitive power into the masculine action.

When we sit and breathe, and surrender the mind to the breath, with nothing to do, we attain clarity. When we breathe into the heart, we connect to what we love. When we move into the world from that place, our meditative time is not simply something on our schedule, but the way we inform our day. When we move slowly enough to notice what is really happening in ourselves, in our bodies and in all around us, we experience the magic of a slow dance, and who does not love a good slow dance? We deeply notice our partner. There is contact, connection, and presence with one another. The subtle movements are noticed and hold power, and we feel the aliveness of new possibilities.

What would happen if today, you release all pressure of making the right choice, of doing the right thing, of producing the perfect result, and at the same time, you take one small step in the direction of what matters most to you? As you take that step, you listen to your body. You feel into your belly and your heart. You notice your breathing. When you go slowly enough, you can hear your body telling you where to go. It takes courage to listen! It takes courage to dance. It takes surrender. And it takes practice. The more you practice, the more you will trust yourself, and the more you will enjoy. Fortunately, your partner is divine.

We live in a time of great dynamic change. How do we live in this time with power and wellbeing, creating change consciously versus being at the effect of it? We have this amazingly sensitive instrument called a woman’s body. Let’s explore its beauty and power in the area of change.

Once upon a time, all of the earth’s religions were based on feminine principles. The earliest religious artifacts are images of women’s bodies. Why? Because we performed the holiest and most powerfully practical function in town – birth. And we appeared to do it without any assistance from men. As a race, we were not always hip to the link between sex and birth. After all, sex did not always lead to a baby. What was obvious was the cessation of menstrual flow during pregnancy and the fact that all babies came from the women. Birth was necessary for the tribe’s continuance, and women were revered.

At the same time, we saw the connection between women and the earth. A woman’s body provided everything necessary for the baby and the earth provided everything necessary for us all. This may be why we tend to treat the earth and women with equal levels of honoring. A father carries the pattern in that almost invisible seed he plants; a mother is the very material from which our bodies are formed.

How are you like the earth?
Are you juicy like ripe fruit bursting with life?
Are you solid, like a mountain, strong in your convictions?
Are you deeply rooted in the rich soil of your mother’s teachings, like an oak tree?
How are you like the earth…?

I want all women on the planet to go to sleep at night knowing that our babies are safe and sound, our families’ needs met, and that we belong in the circle because who we are and what we contribute is of deep value to our community.
I want all women to have the time to play with our lovers and our children, the courage to share our dreams and the practical support to make them real.
I want all women to have enough safety and empathy with our sisters to acknowledge all of the pain that has weighed us down and then have the guts to let it go.
I want each woman to love her own body and her own being exactly as she is, one moment at a time, thereby giving permission for our mothers and daughters to do the same.
I want us all to accept ourselves as imperfect wives, mothers, daughters and sisters, thereby opening our eyes and hearts to the real beauties we are.
I want each woman to feel free to say ‘Yes!’ when she wants to, ‘No!’ when she means it, and ‘I’m sorry’ only when there’s cause; and to never again apologize for being who she is.
I want us once and for all to declare loudly from a mountaintop or silently to the moon, ‘I Am Enough’ – and know it always.

Take care of the precious gift you are. During this season of giving and receiving, remember your self-care practice, because the most powerful, beautiful gift you give is the life you live. And I am sograteful that you are walking this journey. Blessings.
