News Flash: Circles- Forming Around The World To Awaken Our Essential Feminine?

I was rereading a blog that one of our most prolific bloggers Judie Fouchaux did a while back and was inspired by it. I guess because I have myself fully re-submerged myself in my own– Awakening the Essential Feminine Claiming your Influential Power. I have just completed designing our new course –The Essential Feminine Facilitator Training-      http://theessentialfeminine.com/events. I am so excited as the course has within it –the very ability to transform the world as we know it today!

The facilitator Training is designed for therapists, counselor’s doctors and women who serve women and for women who want to create circles where women can learn about specific assets that we naturally have — that are very much needed in our world. Join us for a four week certified training beginning on March 15^th…. You may never see the world in the same way again!

Judie blog that I mentioned – quite inspiring!:

Often we live our lives busy with the details and overlooking the big picture.  We are making things happen, taking care of business, ourselves, our families.  We overlook some things in favor of what appears the next necessary thing to do.  In this way, important parts of us can fall asleep or can hide rather like dust bunnies in the corners of our nature.  These are the parts of ourselves that Maureen Simon addresses in her new book “Awakening The Essential Feminine: Claiming Your Influential Power.”

Impossible!  Not so.  As bright young women fairly sure of ourselves we move out into a world which is dominated by a masculine mind set.  Sometimes we are actually told, “You don’t think the way I do, with the implication that the way “I do” is the superior way to think.  After all it is “logical”.  Looking around at society it does seem to be the preferred way of thinking.  With that influence around us, it is no wonder that we have devalued our gifts, our natural way of being in the world to take on a costume that all too soon becomes our reality.

However, by going in that direction, we are leaving behind valuable gifts that were meant to be a balance in the world, a balance we need now more than ever.   As Maureen points out, these gifts were given to us in greater proportion as women.  They are as important to our being women as the other attributes that differentiate us from men.  They include our way of thinking.

Women’s thinking is naturally collaborative, inclusive, interconnected, intuitive, empathetic, and flexible.  Her brain makes it so.  When Professor Higgins asks, “Why can’t women think like a man?” he overlooks a basic fact.  They weren’t meant to think like men.  We were meant to think like women and bring balance and harmony in the world.

Now with the world in such chaos it is time to awaken our dormant attributes.   By awakening The Essential Feminine within we can begin Claiming Our Influential Power.

I have designed the course to provide coaches and practitioners, therapists, doctors and other women who support women –to have the knowledge and wisdom to teach Essential Feminine Attributes alongside the other tools and skills in their tool kit. We will also be learning how to create powerful circled that integrate the attributes and material in the course.

The course has within it—the ability to change the world as we know it because when women learn—claim—and live with these attributes alive every day the world will be a very special place. This is the first time—offered and the first time ever that the attributes have been taught in one place. We look forward to seing the attributes alive around the world – being fully lived……

Starting To Feel The Sky Open

Life is funny… Sometimes it can feel dense like thick pea soup and other times fluid like a swift moving stream.  I have had some days in the past month when I have felt like I was walking through thick tar. This feeling is not one I am used to feeling and I must admit has been uncomfortable. I have heard so many women tell me their version of the same feeling. I am truly convinced that we are now living in a time of total restructuring. What is most important is surfacing and what is old or spent and no longer needed is dying out. I am not alone in this belief…and the question remains –how dooo we make optomin use of the dark experiences in our life?

I am truly convinced that each challenge is the gateway to a new way of living and being ..and of course each carries rich information for us to gleen going forward. Here is what I have learned to do when feeling the dark emerge:

• Notice the feeling. Allow the connection to be made.
• Look for a thought or next best feeling to consider-think about or to invite in.
• Find ways to make yourself connect with an immediate need ( food –self care-support).
• Notice the message—use your deep intuition –ask what am I to learn  from this.
• Ask for guidance—show me…
• Connect with friends that care for you.
• Know there is wisdom for you to glean—use it!

Seems like a cooks tour outline-but when I apply it to my life—I gain strength and clarity. What works for you? I would LOVE to know…

Happy Enlightenment!

Formula For Change: Urgency – Diagnosis – Steps To Take

In a recent blog posted by Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the IMF in response to the Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), she wrote that:

“I feel strongly that the global community is beginning to respond.

Why? Three reasons: a shared sense of urgency, a shared diagnosis of the problems,

and a shared sense that the steps needed in the period ahead are now coming into

focus.”

These three reasons promote change.  If we in ourselves have a sense of urgency concerning a problem, clearly understand what the problem is and the steps needed for change – change can happen.

In our world today, the economic crisis is only one of the chaotic situations that we face.  All around us we are beset by problems in international relations, education, health care, and unemployment – a seemingly overwhelming array.  It’s enough to make you want to get in bed, pull the covers over your head and hide.  That won’t get us through this.

However, all around us there is something else stirring; a force, a movement that like young seedlings making their way into the light is happening.  Women are waking up to their possibilities.

There is definitely an urgency to make change now.  The diagnosis appears to be a great imbalance in the world from years of living from a masculine perspective.  (Aggression, hierarchy in business, etc.)   The steps needed to create that change rely on developing a greater feminine perspective in our lives.  The steps for this to happen, for women to take the lead and to begin to influence now, include discovering who they truly are beneath all the socialization, claiming those attributes and bringing them forth into our world.

Do you feel the urgency?  Share the diagnosis? Are you willing to take the steps, claim your birthright and make a difference?

Awakening A New Power

Masculine and feminine attributes have been bestowed on all of us no matter our gender.  However, our society has stereotyped us from childhood to express the patterns of behavior which we believe are identified with our gender. 

Using the masculine attributes as set out by Perry Nodelman’s Blog of May 24, 2009 “Conventional Attributes of Masculinity” we find six categories of attributes:

• Phallic masculinity, demonstrated by dominance, power, authority, go-getting, etc.
• Warrior masculinity; demonstrated by competitiveness, need to win, strong, silent, unemotional, self-control, invincibility
• Self-sufficient masculinity; demonstrated by egocentricity, fear of entrapment, non-needy, non-nurturing
• Group masculinity; demonstrated in male bonding, conformity to male group values, rigid. conservative, etc.
• Structural/cultural masculinity; developed by the patriarchal,

• Psychoanalytical masculinity; masculinity as tied up in relationships with father

With our society emphasizing these masculine attributes for many years it is no wonder we have created a patriarchal society based on power, control and the suppression of the feminine.  With the impetus of the civil rights movement and recognition of this imbalance, we saw the rise of the Women’s Liberation Movement in the 1960’s and the 70’s..  An excellent start in creating the balance between the masculine and feminine we need today.

It is with this history in mind that we at The Essential Feminine™ Company believe that it is imperative that women understand and claim their feminine attributes and learn to use them to balance our world.
