Reclaiming The Feminine From 5,000 Years Ago

"Something" happened 5,000 years ago. Civilizations appeared, dominating organized religions appeared, and the feminine was oppressed all over the world. In this talk, we will dive into the research for my new book to understand how women and the feminine in all of us became systematically marginalized, oppressed and even demonized, creating the foundation for the world that we live in today. Let's explore what we lost so that we know how to bring her back - in every one of us!

Transcript

So today we're talking about reclaiming the feminine after 5,

000 years of oppression.

So this is particularly close to my heart and it's something that's a real passion of mine for a couple reasons.

One of the reasons I think this is so important is that all of us,

Regardless of our gender,

There's this emptiness inside.

We're a disconnect.

It's almost like here's what I do for a living,

Here's you know what I love,

Here's who,

But somehow it doesn't all fit together.

You know it's like we have all the pieces but they don't fit together somehow or they don't have meaning or I don't know why I'm doing it or I don't know how it fits into society and I don't know how to find community that nourishes me.

And I just,

Even if life is going amazing,

There's sort of this weird inner angst that is there more?

Am I missing something?

It's weird like there's this angst inside all of us and I think a huge part of that is that we have lost connection to our true feminine and in no way is the feminine about you know curly hair and curvy bodies and dresses and makeup or that's not the feminine.

I'm talking the divine feminine principle that is beautifully matched with the divine masculine principle and again we are not talking about gender here in any way.

And so but and that's a whole other rabbit hole that you know what that's all about and which is why I've written books on the topic because it's a huge thing.

But the problem is and so the second part of why I think this is interesting and why we're having this talk today is so I'm really interested in society and how we end up the way we end up.

And I've been researching my new book Healing from a Sociopathic World,

It isn't out yet,

For quite some time.

And as I would trace back in where did the oppression begin?

Where did not just oppression of women but oppression of people?

When did classism begin?

When did racism begin?

When did the the oppression of the feminine and children and when did all of this start?

And I found a really weird thing that it all started somewhere around but relatively close to 3,

000 BCE.

And this was about 5,

000 years ago.

Like for example this is when the Abrahamic religions began,

Right?

The story of Abraham began 5,

000 years ago which then spawned the three religions of Christianity,

Judaism,

And Islam.

And arguably and again this is a contentious point so but these are these have perpetuated a lot of violence and maybe not in their purest form and I would definitely argue not in their purest form.

But how it was applied into the world?

A lot of violence there and a lot of oppression of women,

You know?

3,

000 years BCE,

5,

000 years ago,

Was when the Aryans came into India and installed the caste system.

Again extremely oppressive system of classism and women specifically heavily oppressed.

A lot of arguments about how that all happened whether it was peaceful or not or whether it was an invasion but that's another entirely different rabbit hole.

And I remember the first time I ever saw that these two events coincided and I thought,

What in the world happened 5,

000 years ago?

And then this other strange thing is that this was also the beginning of the civilizations like Mesopotamia where suddenly you had kings that could own people,

You could own slaves,

You had levels of society,

You had all these things and women again were marginalized,

Oppressed,

Not considered people.

All this and you're like,

What in the world shifted?

And I invite you to much later after our talk go down all kinds of rabbit holes trying to figure this out because it is such a huge topic.

We're not going to talk about it today because today we're specifically going to talk about the oppression of women and how to heal from it.

But what happened back then,

You'll find ideas about the,

They call it the desertification of the Sahara that,

And this isn't even like a conspiracy theory,

That the earth's axis tilted somewhere between like seven degrees and that the Sahara Desert before that was covered in lakes and rivers.

And this shift in the earth caused the Sahara to end up a desert and that this caused a scarcity of resources and suddenly people started fighting as they protected resources.

Other people say that it was a shift in farming methods that suddenly they started using animals to plow the fields and this required men's bodies and all that kind of thing to be stronger and women couldn't do it and da da da da.

So there's a lot of kind of really easy theories about that that maybe are kind of digestible in our normal society thought thinking.

But to me it doesn't answer the psychological shift.

But when did women not become people?

Like just because you can't plow in the fields doesn't mean you weren't honored as the birth giver and the hearth keeper and the keeper of wisdom.

What shifted in the hearts of people?

And this is where you might want to go down weirder rabbit holes about kind of an entire shift of consciousness and things like that.

Again,

Not that we're going to talk about it because it would take our entire talk.

But all we do know for sure is something changed.

Something big changed back then.

And the reason I think it's significant that it began 5,

000 years ago is that it puts our current journey in the proper context.

We're not just fighting the family that we were born into that didn't think women were worth anything.

We're not fighting the forefathers of the founders of our country who women they were treated like chattel.

That's too small a view and it puts all the anger in the wrong place when the reality is this has been going on for hundreds of generations.

It's so old.

So what it means is when we struggle to actually reclaim the true feminine that's okay.

It's okay that it's a journey.

It's okay that it's not going to happen overnight.

And it's not only not going to happen overnight within us,

It's not going to happen overnight in the people around us.

Those people out there that oppress,

Again not just women,

But oppress children,

That oppress intuition,

Wildness,

Creativity,

Anything unstructured.

They're coming from generations of this.

So it's almost like there's no time to think about that.

Like don't even worry about everybody else.

We need to reclaim it in our own hearts because we are also at the tail end of 5,

000 years of oppression of this.

I'm just gonna go back again a little bit to the 5,

000 year mark.

A lot of interesting things happen.

Women started,

They called it patrilocality.

Patrilocality.

Where women instead of staying with their tribe,

With their family,

With their wise ones,

Picked up and were taken to the homes of their husbands.

Isolated from their roots.

Isolated from family.

Isolated from their community.

And the feminine,

Which we're going to talk about later,

One of the number one ways we want to heal the feminine is by reconnecting to community.

This is everybody,

Not just women.

Everybody.

The feminine principle is connected.

It's the web.

The web of humanity.

It's how we're connected to nature.

It's how we're connected to each other.

It's how we're connected inside.

That my logic dances with my emotional self and my intuition.

That my inner structure dances with my wildness.

It's connected.

That I am a web of wisdom and knowledge and fun and sadness and all the things,

All the time.

Because we lost that.

We lost that in this strange overbearing idea that life is a straight line.

There are clear rules.

There is right.

There is wrong.

And everything that is wrong should be oppressed,

Denied,

Gotten rid of.

That's the way it is.

There is one way to live.

Right?

So it's an interesting thing to reconnect out into the world.

It's a lot of funny things.

That before 3,

000 years ago,

They would find,

Like archaeologists,

Or 5,

000 years ago,

Archaeologists would find goddess statues in ruins.

You know,

All the time.

But right after that,

5,

000 years ago,

Right after 3,

000 BCE,

All the goddess statues were gone.

And everything was more God figures,

Male figures.

It was a huge shift from the lunar vision of the world to the solar vision of the world.

From lunar calendars to solar calendars.

From moon rituals to sun rituals.

From moon goddesses to sun gods.

Just a lot of interesting shifts there.

And again,

To think about that for us today.

How often we too still honor the Sun God of our life,

But not the moon.

And what I mean by that is,

How is,

How do you like it when you're having a darker day than a lighter day?

What do you do?

Do you only love life when it's sunny outside?

What about when it's rainy?

Do you like those days?

And I mean that.

I'm talking about weather right now.

Or do you also cherish the cold and the wet days?

The darker days?

What do you do on a darker,

Colder day?

Right?

Do we just complain,

Waiting for the Sun to come out?

Or do we love it?

Do we go,

Oh those are the days that I get to go inward.

Those are the days that I get to meet myself again.

I can relax.

I can chill.

I can hang out with friends and family.

I mean this is a psychological shift.

This isn't a going out and having,

I'm talking inside of us.

Is this how we roll?

And for some people,

It might be as interesting as starting to watch the moon.

You know,

To truly start,

Just anytime you go outside,

Just look up.

What's the moon doing?

And start to reintegrate ourselves into the lunar cycles.

Not so much about the daily Sun cycle,

The solar cycle.

It is a small thing,

But just imagine.

Another interesting thing about reclaiming the feminine,

Is the feminine is the wild within us,

But not wild like crazy.

You know,

I mean,

I often,

When I teach this,

I often think about a horse.

You know,

If you think about a wild stallion.

Well,

A wild stallion in the wild isn't like running up and hitting himself on trees and his eyes are rolling back in his head and being crazy.

He's just running in the fields and then sleeping and then having water and then eating and then maybe procreating and then running.

They're just following their natural rhythms.

Now take that stallion and tame him.

Put him under lock and key.

Force him to act a certain way.

Now you're gonna see some crazy.

So it's really interesting when we ask ourselves,

What is your wild?

What would you look like not in captivity?

Can you connect with that self?

Can you find areas of your life,

Areas of your consciousness where you're not in captivity?

And this is a very interesting journey to kind of look at ourselves and say,

What parts of myself have been trained by this patriarchal energy?

And again,

I'm not talking about men.

I'm talking about this patriarchal 5,

000 year old energy that we've lived underneath and all of our ancestors have lived within.

So the fact that our framework is patriarchal is important for us to understand that we've internalized it.

So then all of a sudden inside of us,

Imagine this.

Imagine half of you thrives in structure and half of you thrives in chaos.

And by chaos I mean wildness,

The unmanifest,

The mystery,

The unknown.

Because we don't have to throw out the masculine.

But imagine that there is a part of you that also loves chaos.

Imagine there's a part of your week,

You know,

Whether it's part of your days,

Whether it's part of whatever.

And you're just like,

I love Sundays.

Because on Sundays there are no rules.

I have no schedule.

There are no rules.

But should I get to reconnect with my own inner rhythm,

You know?

Or maybe you have a day off in the week or maybe you're retired and you're gonna say,

You know what,

I really love my morning schedule but I love having the afternoons to myself.

But to truly let it be about yourself and say,

What am I feeling inside?

What does the day feel like?

I think it's funny.

I go to the gym with my daughter at 6 in the morning and we've been going Monday,

Wednesday,

Friday to go swimming.

And so she asked me last weekend,

She goes,

I think I want to start going every day.

And I was kind of like,

Anyway.

And I said,

Well,

I'll see.

You know,

I'll see how I feel on those on Tuesday,

Thursday mornings.

So funny.

Thursday morning I woke up and I was actually up in time.

But I laid there and I closed my eyes and I said,

Am I going to the gym with my daughter this morning?

And it was the clearest no.

And of course my brain,

My structural,

Masculine,

Patriarchal,

Judgment brain came in and said,

Now Katrina,

Get up.

You're being lazy.

What's wrong with you?

She's depending on you.

You should get,

You know.

Well the funny thing is,

So this morning,

I never talked to her.

I just didn't go and you know,

She knew I wasn't coming.

And we get in the car this morning and I said,

How was the gym yesterday?

Because I didn't know whether she'd gone or not.

And she goes,

It's so weird.

I woke up and I had this terrible cramp in my hip and my leg.

I could barely walk for the next couple hours.

So she goes,

I never even went.

Imagine that you have that wisdom.

That you truly are connected into something that is not understandable by the linear mind.

This is the feminine.

You know,

To allow yourself to trust that gut instinct.

To trust that feeling inside that says,

I don't know.

I don't think it's meant to happen.

I don't think it's meant to,

You know,

Something's amok.

It really is that simple.

And then actually starting to trust it.

Because you know,

It's wild.

Part of,

You know,

A really fun rabbit hole to go down,

Is the connection between the Kundalini energy of the spine,

Of yoga,

Of Tantra,

And the feminine.

And again,

5,

000 years ago.

Because before 5,

000 years ago,

The snake was revered.

The snake.

Because it was so,

Well,

You know,

It's because it's so connected to the earth.

The wisdom of the earth.

It was revered around the world.

And then about 5,

000 years ago,

Suddenly everywhere in the world,

From Norway to China to India to everywhere,

Everybody started telling stories about the king killing the serpent.

And the serpent leading the people astray.

And slaying the dragons and all this stuff.

It literally started at the same time.

So what's really interesting about that,

Is the Kundalini energy in the spine is our life force.

This is our power.

This is our connection to the cosmos.

This is our true human power.

Not this sort of separate,

Separated,

Wounded human self that we've sort of been limping along in for the last 5,

000 years.

I mean the connected self.

And what's interesting,

Is some theories say that the way that they kind of hacked the original humans,

Was actually by shutting down the heart.

The heart chakra.

The heart center.

And so what that did,

Is it makes us stuck in the first three chakras.

Right?

We're stuck in survival mode.

We're stuck in the second chakra relationships.

And we're completely lost in what you might call the lower triangle.

The first three chakras.

And we can easily spend our entire life lost there.

Stuck in fight-or-flight.

Stuck in all of that.

And the heart center is the key.

And we see this in yoga classes.

In all yoga,

Whether they're spiritual yoga classes or not.

That there's this opening of the heart.

This focus on the heart.

But of course,

The Kundalini has been shut down.

It's been alienated.

Shoved into its little pocket.

Why?

Because we are so full of fear.

We are so full of polarity.

And I don't mean the healthy like masculine feminine polarity.

I mean right-wrong judgment.

I'm right.

You're wrong.

And this is the where it gets weird say with the church.

And we did a previous talk about this creation of original sin and the devil character and all that.

The idea that I'm right and you're wrong.

The us and them thing,

Right?

The divisiveness in the world.

The heart is the one place within us that can hold opposite views easily.

It's our infinite place.

It's the place where Atman lives.

Atman is our personal experience of God,

Of Brahman,

Of whatever you see that.

So if we want to open the heart center and allow our life force to flow,

Try loving.

I mean this is this is original Jesus teaching,

Buddha teaching,

All of it.

Every great teacher teaches this.

But don't just love the people you love.

Love everyone.

Love the people that drive you crazy.

And I mean genuinely love them.

I don't mean have compassion for them or think you know have pity on them or well they're just so lost and they're just so messed up.

Not that.

That's just egotistical.

That's the whole patriarchy again.

Imagine actually understanding that every single person in front of you is also a long-lost descendant of these 5,

000 years of oppression.

5,

000 years of humans believing that other humans could be bought and traded and used and hurt and killed.

And like this is what everybody around us has lived through.

Everyone around us has this DNA memory inside of them.

What else can we do but love everyone?

Everyone.

And this activity opens our heart.

This is what shifts us.

This is what shifts us into true feminine.

The completeness,

The community.

We're back into that connectedness.

As soon as they can divide us,

As soon as they can say those people over there are bad,

Those people over there who think this are bad,

We are now in the system again.

We are back in the matrix.

But to actually believe that,

I mean I know it's so cliche,

But that love really is the answer.

And love loving everyone.

And here's the crazy thing.

When if I was to say to you,

You know pick a person,

Pick a group,

Pick somebody that you really really really dislike.

Think about what it feels like when you sit in that hate or that dislike or that fury or that whatever it is.

And what does that feel like in your body?

Somehow we've been taught that this is a good feeling.

This fury you feel,

The fact that your liver and kidneys are tight like you know like I'm gonna say so I was gonna say something rude about men swimming in cold water but you know I'm saying but you know imagine how tight all your organs are.

Just like like that.

And we've been taught that this is normal.

That we should always live in fight-or-flight.

That you should always be righteous and furious at that other person.

But do you know what kind of life that is?

Year after year after year after year of being furious.

That's no life.

And we are so easily controlled when we're living in fight-or-flight.

You know it's like mentally in our brains,

Our prefrontal cortex up here,

This is what governs abstract thinking,

Planning,

New thoughts,

Imagination,

All that.

If our limbic system,

You know really simplifying this,

If our limbic system which is all this emotional survival stuff is online,

We can't access new thought.

You know?

So now imagine you're sitting there and you think about this person or these people that you don't like and you love them.

And I know it sounds really weird.

I really love them.

What if you knew their story and you love them?

What does that feel like in your body?

You know?

Even if and we have all this training that says no no no no no that's not how we work.

We divide.

Divide and conquer.

That's how we work.

You can't do this.

But you have to be mad at them.

Look at what they did.

It's like this constant battle inside teaching us to hate.

Teaching us to have this.

And I'm gonna say it's very low vibration.

But this is where we want to look at it and say if I truly want to be connected to everything,

If I truly want to embrace my feminine,

Imagine loving.

Like really deeply loving everyone.

One of the weird things about the patriarchal energy that has oppressed us is that it also has this connection with money.

You know?

Economics.

That success.

We've been taught that success is about how much money you have.

And I know everybody's got to pay rent.

Everyone's got bills.

I get it.

I'm not saying that money isn't necessary.

But inside of us,

Do I define my success as a human based on my bank account?

And that's just a question we each have to ask.

Is that training still inside of me?

And I'm not talking about having to pay the bills.

We all have to eat.

That's not a thing.

We all should be able to have what we need.

But I mean beyond that.

Do we still define ourselves that way?

And it's interesting.

Because this has been the teaching for 5,

000 years.

But what does it oppress?

Community.

Cooperation.

Sharing.

Right?

What if success was not about the money,

The success,

The career,

The cars,

The size of the house,

All those things.

What if success was the health of our soil?

What if success was the health of our community?

Imagine.

Imagine at the end of the day and you were to write down the wealth of your life.

And you considered it's like the money.

We need the money to buy the food and have that.

Whatever.

Money is nothing.

It's almost like if you flip the script,

Right?

Normally we're like,

Oh yeah,

Yeah.

Friends,

Family,

People.

Yeah,

Yeah.

I get it.

But still got to make some money.

Flip it.

It's like,

Yeah,

Yeah,

Yeah.

The money will come.

I'll figure that out.

Whatever.

But the community,

The connections I have,

The people,

The earth,

Nature,

The world.

Can you imagine if that's how we define success?

Like it changes our whole consciousness.

It changes what I want to do for the rest of the day.

It changes how what I want to do this weekend.

You know,

And imagine everybody wanted it.

Another wonderful shift to make is to actually come back into our bodies.

People talk about grounding and,

You know,

Going outside and being barefoot and all that.

And it's super awesome and we should always do it.

But one of the number one places we aren't grounded is in our own bodies.

And I don't just mean like I feel my body.

I mean,

Do you listen to your body?

Do you believe that your body has wisdom?

Do you believe that if the body,

If you ask the body a question that it will answer you?

This is what was cut off from us.

You know,

And if we look at the gender question,

Women often don't have a choice but to be in their body because we bleed.

You know,

We're perpetually thrown back into the body.

And not that women can't leave their body through disassociation,

A hundred million things.

We absolutely can and we absolutely do.

Or we would not torture our bodies with diets and gyms and all the things we do because we are we've been trained that our our value comes from what we look like.

William and I have been watching shows on Disney Plus and we don't have a we get ads basically is the point.

The ads are so funny.

Like one of the ads was for some kind of hair care and it was all about what story do you want your hair to tell?

What story does my hair want to tell?

Since when is a woman's value in her hair?

How far have we got from the wisdom of the feminine?

And I mean here I'm talking about women but the the wisdom inherent in the human body and the miracle that every single one of us,

All sexes,

Are.

That what matters is the story my hair tells.

So again,

Not that women can't have gotten caught up in all of it because we we have been for good reason.

Kind of a survival thing.

But to get into the body asks us to get out of fight-or-flight.

So what can you so there's actually five they've come up with now that five aspects of the nervous system.

Fight,

Flight,

Flop,

Fawn,

And freeze.

These are all those those defensive ways of being in the nervous system.

So what can we so when we're in fight,

Flight,

Fawn,

Freeze,

Flop,

When we're in those we're not in our bodies.

We're either running away from danger,

We are fighting the danger,

We are frozen in space and time,

We are doing everything fawning is everything everything we can to make the other person happy so that we're not hurt,

Or flop.

We've literally we're playing dead in life.

We've given up.

We're just none of these we're not none of them allow us to be in our body.

So what do you love to do that gets you out of those phases?

One of the number one things especially you know in meditation circles is breathing.

Soon as we breathe they actually some people see the vagus nerve as something very similar to the serpent energy.

Because vagus it comes from the same root as vagrant where it's a traveler,

A wanderer,

Right?

And that this energy that wanders through the body you know.

Imagine engaging in whatever you can do to calm the vagus nerve,

Whatever you can do to calm the body.

And it could be yoga,

It could be meditation,

It could be sitting by the sea,

It could be having a nice cup of tea and a book,

It could be whatever it is that calms you down and takes you out of fight-or-flight.

Because as soon as you're out of fight-or-flight and you're in,

Some people call it rest and digest,

You're in your body.

And when you're in your body you can hear wisdom.

You can hear truth.

You can feel.

This is all the feminine and it's the wisdom of the feminine.

It is our true nature.

Another really interesting way of truly being in yourself and this connection to the feminine is interesting.

So in the timeline,

You know 3000 BCE,

This is when sort of this big shift happened.

But the shift took some time to kind of get its wheels under them.

And it wasn't until around 500 BCE,

Between 500 BCE and 200-300 CE,

So in this time right around the turn of that millennia,

That's when the teeth got in.

This is where,

So like say in India,

When the Aryans came in,

They installed something called the Varna system,

Which wasn't quite so teethy.

It just simply said,

You know what,

Everybody's got a role to play.

You know,

Some people are the head,

Some people are the feet,

Some people are.

.

.

Like that was sort of the spirit of the Varna system.

But by this turn of that millennia,

Between 500 BCE and 300 CE,

This is where it shifted to the Jati system.

And now you cannot intermarry outside of your caste.

Women have no rights.

Untouchables,

Like it was this whole thing that shifted and now it was concretized.

Right?

This is in China.

This was the big rise of Confucianism,

Where women had to,

They had the,

They were taught the three obediences.

As a child,

You obey your father.

As a woman,

As a wife,

You obey your husband.

And as a widow,

You obey your son.

You know,

This is where in Christianity,

This is where Christianity,

The Christians before this,

They were just like hanging out,

Inner discipline,

Loving,

You know,

God practicing,

Loving all people,

Your enemies,

Everybody,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah.

And all of a sudden,

Emperor Constantine says,

You know what,

Let's make this law and let's change everything.

Forget everything that Jesus taught,

But we're still gonna pretend he's,

You know,

The leader.

And we're gonna now make it's about judgment,

It's about us versus them,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah.

And now the teeth came in.

And women had no rights.

Women weren't allowed to be in the priesthood.

Everything became male-driven.

A lot of things changed at that point.

I'm forgetting why I went down that rabbit hole.

There was a reason.

But what's interesting is in that time,

One of the other ideas that sort of also took hold was that life was a ladder to be climbed.

You know,

That I'm gonna start here and I'm gonna keep climbing the ladder of success.

I'm gonna keep climbing the ladder of spiritual growth.

We see this in spiritual communities all the time.

Oh well,

You know,

They're just asleep,

You know,

And I'm more enlightened than they are,

Or that person's more enlightened than me.

Like we see everybody in this ladder idea.

This is part of that linear patriarchal idea.

Or that,

You know,

These people are above these people,

And those people are above these people,

Or men are above women,

Or educated people are above,

Like this whole weird ladder idea.

That there's even such a thing.

And it creates all of this comparison.

None of this is feminine.

The feminine perspective is that we are each a unique vibration.

There is no ladder to climb.

All we do is become more ourselves.

You know,

This is my particular vibration,

And this is the life I'm gonna live.

You know,

And maybe I've picked up some vibrations along the way that aren't me,

That are sort of getting in my way.

So I need to look at that and let those go.

But I'm just me,

And you're just you,

And that person over there is just them.

There's no ladder.

There's no comparison.

And this idea releases so much stress.

So much anxiety.

And again,

Takes us out of that fight-or-flight that I've always got to be producing,

And I've always got to be achieving,

And I've always got to be doing this thing.

You know,

There's nothing that anyone has to do.

Everybody is their own unique vibration.

And again,

This comes back into the body.

To say,

What if me,

Exactly how I am right now,

Was just me?

You know,

I was getting out of the pool this morning,

And you know,

Had my shower,

Did my thing,

And you know,

I was looking at my body before I was getting dressed,

And I thought,

Wow,

Have you ever been through the ringer,

Hey?

You've lived through a lot.

And it was like this really wonderful moment in time,

Just sort of gazing at myself,

Thinking,

Wow,

56 years you've carried me through.

That a girl!

It's so funny how we can be so judgmental of our bodies.

We can be,

And my body's not in some epic fit state or anything like that,

And it's like,

But can we just actually love ourselves?

Which of course makes it really hard,

You know,

If we if we have a hard time loving our enemy,

Or loving people we don't like,

We probably really have a hard time loving the parts of us we don't like.

But imagine if we could,

Like what if we really could expand that,

And like even right now,

Wherever you are,

Like just taking a breath,

Just releasing your shoulder blades,

And releasing your back,

And really feeling this,

Like imagine this love in your heart center,

And go all the way through your spine to your back,

And feel that right there.

When you just imagine opening your heart in love,

And then kind of pulling your ribs apart at the back a little,

Just releasing any knots back there that are sort of contracted,

And just even all day long when we breathe,

Breathing into that,

The back of our heart.

Because it's interesting,

Some people in chakra circles,

They say that the backs of the chakras are where we receive from the world.

In all the chakras,

But in the heart,

This is where we receive love.

That's why it feels so good when someone holds you from behind,

Or hugs you from behind,

You know,

If we're open to receiving it.

But imagine that you really are receiving love from the universe,

You are receiving love from nature,

From God,

From Mother,

From whoever,

You know.

It's an interesting thing,

And then all of a sudden we get to relax.

We're in our bodies,

We're able to hear the wisdom in our bodies,

We're able to hear the intuition,

We're able to connect with our nature,

Our true wildness,

We're able to actually explore the mystery inside,

You know.

And the cool thing is that this is what everybody's teaching anyway.

That this is our reclaiming of the feminine,

And I think what's really important to me is for us to take it really seriously.

You know,

That we're undoing 5,

000 years of training and generational experiences.

So,

Super fun.

So thank you so much for being here.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Great research on that important, dire shift! Worth listening again. Do you think we’re finally at least starting to re-shift after 5000 years of what’s essentially been a reign of terror against the feminine? We are soooo overdue! It feels like a doubling down, especially in the US, that’s all I’ll say about the mess we’re living through!Divine Feminine, we are ready to be infused with your grace! I’m looking forward to your new book, Katrina! 💕
