Recently I've been listening to a lot of talks on youtube about meditation, spirituality and growth.

These talks have all been beautiful reminders, full of insight. There are teachers are from many different spiritual traditions, but seem to be teaching the same thing, at the root.

Despite the truth found in these teachings, there's one thing I noticed: all of these teachers are men. There is no problem with there being many male teachers, but I want to know where are all the female teachers? Where is the other side to this coin? Why is there such an imbalance?

Maleness and femaleness are both sacred energies, constantly at play, breathing life into all things, creating and making love together.

In our times, where male energies are so over emphasised, it is important that female teachers emerge. The changes we are seeing need to be brought forward by women. Let us listen to those who nurture, let us listen to softness, to the flow of water. It is time for men
to step back, so that women may step forward.

Let the sacred balance be restored.

May it be so.

The feeling of being a woman

Ana Tara — Jul 23, 2010

Wind Rider, I agree with you, for I have noticed the same myself. I feel the world is in need of female energy...
For long women were not heard, than they had to shout (I'm talking about feminism) and now a balance must be reached between the energies. Women need to trust their voices and man need to start trusting us.
It is not easy for it is in everybodys past lives and it as been past over and over again from generation to generation for at least 2 thousand years. But there were times when it was not so, so I believe harmony can be reached.
I think it all starts in harmonizing the energies inside ourselves, our male and female sides.
In order to find that balance I often found myself in strong male behaviors, just to realise that I loved my female side just as much. Some moments I asked myself, what exactly does it mean to be a woman? The biology is straightforward but what about the "feeling"? I knew the role society put on women, but it didn't satisfy me... So I went digging on past civilitations and godesses.
Then I went looking inside and it was all about emotional protection, healing with loving eyes. Nurturing with freedom and no judgement, understanding.
I wander what you girls have found out!?

You might dig this...

I agree, there is a lack of the Divine Feminine in the world of exploration. As it happens, I am quite dedicated to giving Her a stage...

Here's what I am a conduit for, you might enjoy :)

Just one more thing... I

Just one more thing...
I believe that one of the biggest problem on women enpowerment is competion among women thenselves.
We just have a hard time being happy for other women acomplishments!
Come on girls! Its time to understand that other women sucesses are not our failures, it's the world accomplisments and someting to look up to.
Love the woman inside yourself and the angel inside our sisters...
