SPIIRIIT OF A WOMAN

Who are you really? What makes you tick, happy and feeling alive? Do you enjoy or endure life?

Since identity is a choice, who and how do you choose to be?
The number of woman: family, friends, colleagues and clients who are desperately unhappy and living in a state of joyless survival is alarming. Some have resorted to extreme behaviours, taking prescriptive anti depressants and pick me ups, simply to get by. You probably know a number of women like this yourself. Somehow these wonderful women during the mire of responsibility, daily demands and hardship, appear to have sadly lost themselves and lost their way.

In this day and age, life has so much to offer and we are all capable and deserving of so much more than we possibly recognise. Somehow simply ‘coping’ and merely ‘existing’ doesn’t seem just. As a sister in womanhood it saddens me deeply seeing this situation grow. Thankfully there are many avenues for assistance should these woman choose to seek help - counselling, GPs, social groups, alternate therapists, yoga, meditation and other relaxation techniques.

A big part of the solution may also lie in learning to lovingly reconnect with the spirit of a woman.

The spirit of a woman is LOVE. A love which is constant and unconditional, everywhere and in everything. It appears in many unexpected ways. It is collaborative, creative and inspiring; not
competitive, destructive or conniving. This loving spirit of a woman flows freely, shares its gifts openly and compliments the endeavours and desires of those embodying it.

The key to know and be this LOVE, is to grant ourselves permission to experience and savour our love within, as well as in life outside. This often requires us to get to the heart of ourselves, by seeing each and every perceived problem whether set back, judgement, loss or pain as an
opportunity to heal a sense of a lack of love within ourselves.

There exists real power and liberation in discovering and accepting that you are already love.
Being free to explore, share, and feel the wondrous gifts of love in life, is all we are here to do. For everyone on Earth the exploration of love is the journey in life! Those who are lovers know this to be true.

When a woman disconnects or denies herself the opportunity to know and be her true essence, she withers, becomes unwell and off balance. The flow of life’s goodness is then limited. Everyone around her feels the affects and deep loss of this love, including the greater soul group, known as womanhood.

It isn’t holy or a necessary part of womanhood to continually sacrifice or deny your own needs in order to meet the expectations or needs of others. Denying yourself the experience of a good, extremely satisfying life, is a very unhealthy choice, one fraught with danger and disastrous results. Thankfully it is a choice that can change anytime. Granting our feminine spirit the liberty to know and share itself (in all our glory) is an essential part of our being and calling as woman on Earth.

Man and woman provide one another the experience of opposites to affirm their self identity and reach a vital inner balance – ‘in love’. In this way, love is the world’s greatest equaliser and women love’s greatest emissary. Therefore it is the responsibility of each and every woman to be
love, share love and bring feminine balance to the world.

As women we can consciously fulfil this role by nurturing and loving ourselves in very simple, practical ways. Self care is not a luxury, it’s a responsibility and necessity. Self care and self respect send an important and powerful message to everyone, as you are the prime example of how the world should respond to you. Hence, the most important relationship in life is the relationship you have with yourself.
