Inside every person, be they man or woman, dwells both the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine. One gender is dominant, but both exist. In the world however...the world at large, there is a lack of the Divine Feminine's Power. This is changing now. This is changing in 2012. Some of you are feeling it change. Others will see the change.
Many women are awakening to their DF and are seeking ways to express themselves. They are breaking free of old patterns like outdated ideas of Love and Relationships. They are embarking on risky and frightening journeys. But they are succeeding and empowering others to follow in their footsteps. The dawning of this new explosion of powerful energy is there for the taking by both men and women.
On my journey, it has been an awakening. I have heard the call...the battle cry or the trumpet's blare. It started more then a year ago. If you are someone who believes people come into your life for a reason, then PLEASE take a moment to look around at who has come into your life! Are you forging new relationships all the time? Are you listening to your heart as it urges you in the direction of the ones you ought to deepen? If not, you really should. I started taking Fusion BellyDance class with my friend Holly. At first, Holly was not my friend, but rather my step-daughter's friend. For years, I believed that I needed to always bear in mind the boundaries between my people and her people and your people and yes we could be acquainted but in society there are rules you follow. I am glad I do not think that way anymore! You see these are "manmade" boundaries...developed by the pre-existing social standards. This is Dogma (other people's belief systems). And these things no longer apply.
Now last night, Holly was teaching us this move. It was fairly simple (looking). But in order to do this move correctly, you must engage the proper muscle group. There is an action and a specific way to perform the action. Sounds familiar, right? Like all things in life, you get the best results when things are made carefully and with the most pure and natural ingredients. I found myself being always "in the moment" and always feeling happy and motivated to keep working at it. The class was ENERGIZING beyond anything I can describe. Sometimes you just need to do something in order to really experience it. In fact...scratch that! You ALWAYS need to do it in order to truly get what it is or what it takes to accomplish!
Now...the feminine.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
What is it to be feminine? It would have to do with female attributes. Women are known for being the softer sex. As I have said previously, the counterpoint to the male. Male and Female are drawn together for sexual compatability. But beyond even that, they function as opposites who offer an opposite viewpoint and an opposite energy. Opposites attract. The idea of being Feminine sounds like it is (by design) created to attract the Masculine. This could very well be true! As my Flower Sister and I participated in the class, we were given many opportunities to use our feminine energy through our eyes, head position, shoulder movements, hand-arm and finger movements, our stomachs, thighs, hips and feet! We also worked with veils....another amazing tool for expression.
So often in my own life I feel at a total loss to express myself! Do any of you ever struggle with that too? If you do and you are a woman, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BellyDance. I found myself overwhelmed with options for how to express myself...so many, and all requiring that I learn the technique..it made me realize how dull I had become. I had let life drain the artistry from my soul and leave me dull. Furthermore, where had my feminine spirit gone? We women work so hard...in this world...this MAN'S WORLD...and we try to maintain that flirtatious inner feminine child (or tigress)...but balance is easily lost by the demands of the perceived realm of reality.
Here is the best news...it is possible...to maintain that supreme Feminine Diety within and function for the people around you as well. Sometimes it is all one, while other times it takes a balancing act to make it work. The most important thing is that we stop living in the current perceived reality. It is Dogma, remember? We are living the reality that we were taught. In my reality women can express themselves the way they did in the room last night...freely...without judgement...purely...doing it for themselves but also for the sisterhood...using their bodies, minds, energies. And guess what they never even needed to use, not even once? WORDS. Hmmmm. Interesting.
I hope I have given you a lot to think about today about the feminine and her divinity and how she dwells everywhere and in everyone. The DF is gentle, like a breeze....fierce like a Tiger.
Be Blessed and Love Everyone,
AngelMarie
