We talk a lot about the rising of the feminine, and how empowerment of women is what's needed to fix the world and whilst that's important men desperately need to rise too. I've just seen another dude bro on my feed talking about men 'being in their masculine' and interpreting that as demanding domestic servitude from women. All i'm hearing there is a child calling for their mom.
I went to a beautiful event at a Yoga Centre at the weekend in which the men stood round the edge of the circle and just held the energy of the women as we invoked Shakti (the Goddess). I experienced her as pregnant with the whole world. The baby was the entirety of planet earth- every traumatised woman, every disconnected man and I felt such love for everyone and everything. We are all just children having difficult experiences and big emotions we can't always handle.
Insights from deity work have such power to elevate your perception of the world, which is why traditional religion has been so popular, but that has been missing half the story having focused only on the male perspective. It's missing perhaps the most fundamental power - the love of the mother, and the importance of the dance between the two polarities- the source of creation of life. The catholic religion of my childhood feels so empty in comparison.
We need each other. We need more connected daddy energy in this world and we need more regulated women who can step up and provide stable leadership.
These are my thoughts as International women's day passed through.
May your heart be full of hope.
