The Essential Nature of Women

My meditation this week has been about strengthening my connection to spirit, assisting myself in knowing that I am always surrounded by the divine, and recognizing at all times that I am an extension of the feminine aspect of creation, thereby indelibly connected to all that is! My prayers and meditations have been focused on helping me to stay connected to source even during trying times.

As I sat in meditation, images of the women in my life began to come into my awareness. With their images was the awareness of the love and kindness that their presence brings to me. I saw the collective spirit of these women, as well as those who support me from beyond the physical realm, and I felt the essential flow of something uniquely feminine. My spirit was showing me that it is through women, and through my own womanhood, that I will always know and will always find my connection to the divine.

My senses came into rapture with this experience of the nature of women. How like water, I thought, this flowing essence that surrounds, comforts and heals. This quality of women flows soothingly into those tight and forgotten places within my being in the most gentle of ways, like a prayer or a whisper. I reflected on how my life has been enhanced since I’ve joined in the practice of honoring the divine feminine, the water, and the women. I became mindful of how much I’ve learned about what it means to be one, and by knowing myself as a woman, what a difference I can make in someone else’s life.

It’s this quality, knowing myself as a woman, as a being who carries the essential nature of the feminine that allows me to do what I do, to do what only I can do. It is through this quality of the divine that flows through me that I can make any difference at all.

What wisdom, then, to pursue a broader understanding of the essential nature of that which I am.

To those of you who are reading this, I personally encourage you to continue in your pursuit of self-knowing, as we collectively explore the true natures of our own selves, and the divine from which we emerge. Our combined efforts are demonstrating tremendous returns. It is indeed a time for women to awaken to the reality of who we truly are and what we can accomplish together.
