I'm in week one of my new Feminine Power Telecourse! I'm so excited, on the edge of my poof waiting for them to post the recording for tonight's first class since I missed the live call. In the meantime, I've been looking over the course materials. I was really moved by one of the shared agreements they ask us to honor...
"Relate to my own experience as part of the larger story of women's evolution. I see my own personal challenges and struggles as they relate to the underlying principles we are currently engaging in the course, in service to the collective learning and empowerment of the women in this class, and in service to women everywhere." (Copyright 2010 Feminine Power)
This agreement feels SO in alignment to me. It reminds me to put my life into perspective by inviting me to stay focused on serving the collective essence of SHE within all of us, as opposed to getting wrapped up in the me, me, me of my little challenges. How can I soften into our shared experiences? It invites me to consider how any feeling I experience is the same as what all women experience. When I am afriad, it asks me to think of how other women feel fear too. When I feel elation it creates an opening for me to connect to all the women that feel elation. It asks me to look at what makes us the same and to feel deeply into that. It gently encourages me to open my heart and devote myself being of service to other women seeking the same.
This one refocusing tool inspires me to find and tell my own life story in a new, deeper way. To inhabit a story with threads that connect me to the larger whole of women around the globe, across space, across time. I am compelled to feel deeply into my own doubts, hopes, dreams, yearnings and desires and through them nourish others... and also to move through any limitations or challenges on behalf of all women who want to move through the same thing and emerge ~ glowing, passionate, grounded and luminous.
Something big is happening...
xoxo
