As women we bring unique feminine gifts to our world.

We have overcome great challenges throughout history and have more choices than ever today. However, striving for equality at home and at the workplace has affected our connection with our true feminine essence and gifts. More and more of us have consciously or unconsciously adopted masculine behaviour and energies which are negatively affecting our relationships and health.

Suppressing our emotions, overly competing and over emphasizing the left brain or logical rational thinking have become so deeply entrenched that we are no longer aware that they are often not expressions of our true self but mere behavioral and energetic choices at any given moment. Many of us have never been consciously in touch with, or don't remember our own unique expression of feminine energy.

We want to allow ourselves time to re-discover our feminine roots and nurture them. Let's take a few minutes regularly and ask ourself: How can I honour my feminine side today? What would I like to DO, FEEL or BE (for example: rest, relaxation, love, creativity, sensuality etc.) that I deeply long for as a woman. This enables us to make new choices.

We have adopted ideals that are not ours and feel guilty for not matching up. A lot of us have been so frenzied and rushed for so long that we might simply need to catch up with a lot of rest because we have been drained on a very deep level. Some of us might choose to meet more regularly with girlfriends, join a feminine dance class or nurture their bodies in various ways. The answers are in our hearts, not in our minds.

As a woman in the 21st century we have cultivated our masculine energies enough to be focused and goal-oriented when needed, but the masculine has been overvalued and exaggerated in our culture. It's time for the pendulum to swing back to create a new polarity between the sexes and a higher balance in our relationships and lives. Remembering and nurturing our feminine essence has never been more important to heal ourself and our world.
