Into the Heart of the Feminine – Finding Home Within Ourselves.
“The great work of our time is to bring the feminine into our lives. We must (each of us) contribute in the most personal of ways. Take time to listen to your dreams, your longings and your heart – with compassion, love and attention. Take time to recognize that there are things going on within you that need to be felt, or said, or lived, or grieved. Pay attention to these things in yourself and the feminine will rise.” ~ Marion Woodman.
In many ways we long for home – and we search for it, feel lost and try to create it in many outward aspects of our lives. Often our efforts leave us feeling empty and lonely. Home – whether within ourselves or outside ourselves – is a spiritual place, a place where the spirit of the feminine is present and creates a feeling of groundedness.
A feeling of home within ourselves can only be created with the energy of the feminine.
We may search for and try to find ground within ourselves, and come up empty, confused or lost.
We must cultivate and find within ourselves a safe and nurturing place of the feminine – where we have space to be conscious, awake and aware of the depth, possibilities and wholeness that exist in ourselves, always.
Get in touch with the presence of the positive, nurturing feminine – the part of ourselves that we long to get in touch with – the part that finds joy in just being alive.
When and where in your life have felt most calm, awake and alive?
Follow those impulses.
Our inner feminine values and respects us, sees and listens to us, and accepts that our thoughts, desires and feelings are real and legitimate. Yet the wound many of us feel around feminine energy denies all of these things. It is this wound and how we suffer with it, without giving it the attention that it needs, that allows us to feel disconnected, depressed, isolated and sad.
The pursuit of the feminine ‘frees’ us from the rationality, linear thinking and efficiency that blinds us to everything else.
As we are touched by the feminine, we can step outside our traps of rationality, efficiency and the things that have to be done, and we become open to our own innate, embodied wisdom.
In order to bring the feminine into our world, we must begin in a personal way.
To value the feminine and have it reborn within us, we must take time to reconnect with the wholeness of who we are. We have to take time to notice our thoughts, listen to our dreams – write them down and reflect on your life.
Honouring the feminine means having patience and taking time, to ponder the longings and feelings in our hearts.
We must recognize that there are many things going on within us that need to be perceived, accepted, felt, said, lived, grieved and raged over.
We need space to give these things our attention, concern, and understanding.
Acceptance, holding, and pondering what is in our hearts make up a basic part of our feminine nature – the elemental feminine. In this process of acceptance and paying attention to the feminine aspects of ourselves, we are also accepting that our inner life is valid, that we long for wholeness, and that this path will bring us to a feeling of inner unity and authenticity.
Nothing can be transformed until it is fully felt and accepted. You don’t have feel it alone.
Life is inviting you in and drawing you close – calling you towards a light that will ignite the purest vision of yourself into being. Your life is asking that you take all that you’ve held safely within and give it room to be seen, heard and felt.
Life has not given up on you – your life is standing by.
love Kim, xo.
