It is such an interesting time to be a woman, although I feel
like many of us aren’t yet certain what all of this is about. We know things are changing yet we struggle
with our own feelings about this change, we aren’t sure how to have difficult
conversations, what we have been taught doesn’t seem to make sense, we feel strongly
about some issues and not so much about others, we aren't certain if we should we be "doing" something. All of this is necessary when going through a period of transition, what
we are experiencing are the growing pains of the rising of the of the
Feminine Era. We have lived in a patriarchal society for thousands of years, but it
is necessary for the evolution of the human species and the society we live in that
we continue our growth through the rising of the Feminine.
Over the past 50 years women have fought for equality by mainly using
the masculine traits, by hardening, being assertive, logical, doing, achieving and by
using power and control. This was
necessary for many of us to make the inroads that we have, however it has
exhausted us as well. Now it is time for us to relax and rest in our true nature,
and understand that our strength, and what will make us the leaders of the
future, are our Feminine traits. Connection, emotion, intuition, creativity, being, nurturing, working
together, using understanding and community to effect the changes we so desperately
want and need. It is also a call for men
to value their feminine traits, this isn’t an us against them scenario, this is
everyone working together for the common good.
This is about using a balance of masculine and feminine skills to build
something where EVERYONE has a voice, where we may not always agree, but we are
still able to live in harmony. Instead of fighting for “our” side are we able
to look deeper? Are we able to see that everyone
at the deepest level wants the same thing, it is FEAR that creates the need for
control. Only understanding, openness and
kindness will allow this FEAR to dissipate, not more power and control!
Change must begin in OUR own hearts, before we can
expect others to embrace the strength of the feminine, we must embrace
and respect these qualities in ourselves and each other.
We must see the tears of our emotions as kindness and understanding, we
must see our softness and affection as an open entry for healing ourselves and
others, we must see our nurturing as necessary for cultivating growth and change, we must
see our receptivity as an invitation to others to share their gifts, and we must see
intuition is our guide for all decision making. I understand that this will be
a challenge for many, we have been taught that these traits are
only valuable within our family. But it
is time for the world to see that these same qualities that create the safety
and comfort of our family and our homes can also create the safety and comfort
of the world we live in. Let us make it so!
Much love,
Tracy
