“Today’s civilization has been cut loose from the essential roots that formed humanity, says Grandmother Bernadette Rebientot, from Gabon.
Those roots, the Grandmothers say, reach deep into the Sacred Universe, the domain of Spirit where feminine and masculine energies are in perfect balance and harmony, and where the unity and connectedness inherent in all sentient beings is revealed. However, in today’s world the power of the feminine – the most potent, loving, and creative of forces on Earth – is severely suppressed, and if not again honored the imbalance of male and female energies could cause the destruction of humanity, if not the Earth Herself.
This female power that sustains the Earth and all Her inhabitants, and that is so essential for the survival of the planet, resides within each one of us, man and woman alike.”
That is why I think it is so important we learn about the feminine energy, how it manifests, or would like to manifest in our lives and our relationships. As a whole, we have been so alienated from what truly is feminine energy, by living in a very male dominant world, for thousands of years. Even our bodies have forgotten how to be with and ground feminine energies. And when we do, it feels so connective and life giving.
That is one reason why I like teaching women how to date like a Rose. It is all about opening up to that feminine energy, whilst also learning how to protect it and safeguard it. The more we learn what that energy feels like, and how it creates and co-creates with others, the more we can recognize her and foster her all around us. It is hard to cultivate something we are not familiar with. And when we “break down” the relationship dynamics into a more conscious manifestation of feminine and masculine energies, we learn so much about the world we live in; even the universe.
