Pregnancy and Birth are an initiation that we have come to overlook, just the same as menstruation.
Through each one of our archetypal experiences, there is a certain level of ritual, support and ceremony that is required for the spirit of a woman to safely travel from the first cycle to the last.
When there is a perceived separation of Spirit, there comes fragmentation in the body through the manifestation of fear, abandonment, self loathing and self doubt. Guidance is required - yet in retrospect, a woman can only access deep inner knowing through her own heart and womb space.
This, for me, has been where balancing my Masculine and Feminine energies have been a beautiful catalyst to change in my experiences as a woman.
The Masculine wants structure, to follow the straight edge and corners of patterns and teachings. Whereas the Feminine wants to carve beyond those points, in curves and spirals. Seeing the structure but trusting the natural flow of point, to point. Seeing what structure cannot present.
We require the stability of the structure our Masculine Energies present to us but in order to go deeper and to find what they mean to us, we have to move through spirals, curves, sometimes we have to go forward, to go backwards.
And from here we can find ourselves at the centre, balanced and ever changing. Like a flower that spirals out. Reaching for light. Learning to grow in our own way 🙏
