Claiming Our Body of Wisdom
How we fear the descent into the depths of our own bodies. We’ve been well trained to fear our flesh. All the lies we have been told about our bodies, and most especially our female bodies, rise up to face us when we decidedly choose to descend into our totally human, yet utterly divine, bodies. But, the descent is most necessary to become completely alive. For women, awareness from the chest up is like being powered by a dim flashlight and we become numb to deep nourishment. It makes life lack luster and challenging to really experience the fullness of the world we live in.
But to truly be embodied in our humanity, we must know that we belong in our divine feminine flesh. Descent into our fleshy temple is what is required to know our sacred belonging, to tap into the mystery and profound purpose of our embodiment.
As we deepen into our luminous body, we’re being called to reveal the darkest shadows where our radiant treasures and most potent light are stored. You’re being seduced by spirit into the vastness of the womb of life, to clear the vestiges of separation and disenchantment. The Divine Feminine is emerging from the depths and rallying us for this new birthing era we’re transitioning through – rejuvenating the blood mysteries and our ability to purify our bodies and the planet.
Our awareness is coming to rest within the cosmic womb. Nothing reflects the power of creative space as much as women’s womb. But the womb is not just about creating new human life. It’s also about creating new worlds and life of many forms, while becoming a container for various spiritual forces. A woman’s body contains the same field of energy that is formed at the center of the universe. It’s full with potential. It’s the formless void.
To truly awaken at our core, we must surrender to the wisdom of our body, just as we do to the unknown power of giving birth to a baby. But this is challenging, as many women are wounded by thousands of years of disconnection and the wounds generated by masculine imbalance, bearing witness to an internalized oppression, which hinders our spiritual development. The healing journey for women includes reclaiming our sensuality and sexuality, and our special connection to the body of Mother Earth.
Feminine sacredness is alive within our bodies and at work in our capacity to give and care for life. Our bodies are not just physical home, but spiritual home and our powers are carried in our blood and bones. And because of this, women have a different spiritual unfolding with unique challenges and gifts. It’s time to claim our body of wisdom!
