Long post. Deep medicine.

Your relationships depend on it.

I want to share something that moved through me recently within an extraordinary organization called Frequency where i was serving on the Coherence team.

We convene there as change agents, wealth stewards, consciousness bearers. Many who carry the sacred commitment to creating a world where all life thrives.

This particular gathering held such potency. I found myself profoundly moved on levels I’m still integrating.

To feel so many men and women coming together in alignment, hearts open and good, willing to heal deeper, to enlighten further, to unify around common nodes of concentration for the betterment of our planet.

Even in this sacred space of mature, attuned, brilliant beings. Brilliant business leaders. Brilliant healers and change makers. Brilliant wealth stewards. Even here, a subtle theme emerged that wasn’t overt at first.

I’ve been guilty of it myself. I’m getting much better, but I don’t think I’ll ever fully arrive. I don’t think many of us will ever arrive completely with this.

So I offer what follows as vulnerable attunement, something for all of us to become even more exquisitely aware of.

The silencing of the Feminine Voice.

When the Sacred is Cut Short…

Several women at this event came to me. They came to other women on staff, including members of our team. They expressed that when speaking and sharing from their being, some of us men would cut them off. Cut them off early, before the full ripeness and depth and energy of their expression could come out, be expressed, and land in others.

We would be quick to interrupt. Quick to insert our point of view, our expertise, our expression of correction or direction.

These women came to me feeling very pained. Not because they were directly harmed in the moment, but because of the ancestral and epigenetic pain of the feminine voice being squashed. Not heard. Not respected. Not given the time to arise more gently, to flow through the body mind being, through the words, through the space, and land gently within us through deep listening.

Deep soulful listening with the ears behind the ears. The ears of the soul. Taking it in and allowing their beautiful, soulful, feminine expression to land and be deeply understood, felt, acknowledged, appreciated.

Not always for the content alone.

But for its energy. Its vibration of communication and expression. Her vibration of expression. Her innermost self expressing herself.

The Vulnerability of Voice..

I’ve learned that feminine expression is not merely communication. It’s her. It’s the most vulnerable space of being that she’s sharing.

Many of us men don’t understand that women feel intrinsically unsafe. Their bodies, generally being more delicate, more feminine, more sensitive, more vulnerable than ours, even physiologically.

And yet the power of their voices is being called forth. By Gaia herself. By the soul of every woman. The deep feminine voice is being summoned forth for us to listen to. As men and women. As children. As leaders. As politicians. As change makers. As everyday humans.

To take the time whenever a woman is sharing. A girl. A lady. An elder. To just slow down and release and shut down our internal dialogue. To become an immediate vessel of reception rather than letting our mind keep running with continuous responses, even internally, ready to express the moment we feel there’s an opportunity to break in and share.

The attunement to feeling when the feminine voice is expressing.

Allowing that to land and saturate our very nature and being so deeply at a soul and cellular level that she feels…

Ah. Received. Deeply gotten. Deeply understood. Deeply valued. Deeply honored.

Just through our mere receptive presence.

Not through coddling. Not through sharing back with words of encouragement immediately. But through deep, soul to soul, eye to eye, being to being, body to being reception. With a true willingness not only to receive the words and the mental, cognitive, logical understanding, but to receive the energy itself.

The Full Transmission

The subtlety. The facial expressions. The breath. The body. Her body, how it’s moving and how it’s not.

You see, the feminine is communicating not just with her words, but with her eyes, her whole body, her breath, her transmission, her vibration, her clothing, her fragrance, her emanation. Even her silence is a communication.

The feminine is the embodiment of light. Of the light of the Divine. Of the light of the universe. Each individual woman is a sun, a sacred light, the sacred emanation of light.

And light needs to be seen.

The purpose of light is to be seen, received, valued, merged with the masculine consciousness. Consciousness that receives light, just like light lands on objects and those objects light up in color. When light lands in our eyes, we see the world around us through our perceptional lenses.

The sacred light of the feminine, when fully expressed, unleashed, and offered with deep reception, has infinite flavors. From mild and gentle to humorous and silly. To wild and free. To childlike. To adult like. To ancient, timeless wisdom.

Even her eyes and the nuance of her lips. Even the way she licks her lips when they’re dry. Or moves her hips as she walks through the room. The way she sways her arms and her shoulders. The way she holds herself up or down.

All profound communications when we’re in a state of deep reverence and observation. The desire to understand the totality, the gestalt, the body mind spirit soul of the woman.

Our Sacred Responsibility…

It’s our job as men and women, especially as men, to become even more reverent. To take the time to let all her shares arise.

They don’t have to be logical. They don’t have to be in order. They don’t have to be going anywhere with conclusive endpoints. They’re full and complete transmissions unto themselves.

Not necessarily logical, although they can be. But transmissions of attunement. The meta field of all of life speaking through this beautiful lady. Life itself speaking and expressing through her as her, with her tones, with her silences.

Even in her chaoses as well as when she’s in her attuned cleanness. All of it is sacred expression for us to receive even deeper.

With reverence. With stillness within ourselves as men. With deep, reverential silence. With deep, soulful patience. With unhurried acceptance and unhurried nobility.

We need to listen as a spacious, conscious, loving, non-judging, holding, profound, living container. So that the ocean of her innermost being can express all the flavors of her waves. All the heights and intensities and sizes of her waves can be received in the container of our being, our deep love, our deep willingness to understand and receive and be touched.

A Lifetime Cultivation…

This, for me, is a lifetime cultivation. I believe it is for all of us men. Not something to take lightly.

The voice of Mother Gaia is speaking to us louder than she ever has. The voice of our women is speaking to us louder than they ever have, not necessarily just through words, but through their whole beingness and transmissions.

The voice of the elder women speaking louder from their soul, from their pain, from their happiness, from their hopes for a life of love, a life that thrives for all beings.

The voice of the young girls who have so much brightness and innocence flowering and creating flowers and gardens in our lives.

The Sacred Oath…

Let us make a sacred oath to become the WarriorSages who not only give women voice, but who go on one knee, spiritually, as a prince, as a lord, as a king in noble reverence, as the feminine voice stands up.

To give it all the time and space and spaciousness to emerge in safety. To be fully expressed and received with noble character. With our heads bowed in deep reception and honoring.

You see, it’s this deep digestion and reception and receiving of the feminine which will allow our masculine potency to rise and to mature and to awaken even deeper.

For the poles of the masculine reception and feminine expression to unify in sacred dance and merge into oneness.

This is our sacred opportunity in this delicate time in life. To turn the chaos of non-understanding and the crushing of the feminine spirit and soul in her voice and repression of it.

To finally be given the sacred space of royal reception as it deserves.

To help navigate and guide our directional masculine movement in the world.

Personally and universally.

May we bow deeper into this practice every day. May we listen with the ears behind our ears. May we receive the sacred light of the feminine with the nobility it has always deserved.
