You are the precious child of something greater than our minds have the potential to comprehend. You are the mother of all. You are the child of an ancestral line too many of us have lost connection with. Shades of brown, yellow, red, tan, olive, peach or pale – you are sisters, you are MY sister. I believe until we realize our sisterhood to all it impossible to truly know ourselves singularly. Women may be given title in a social structure as a minority yet we know – hear - the call deep within our being that a number cannot represent the power we hold within our touch, hearts, minds and spirit. We have the ability to stir emotions so deep and powerful it causes the pulse to quicken or calm.
Women have been uniquely designed by the Source of creation to give birth to beating hearts that give home to the soul. We are the mothers of our planet. We are the healers of ourselves and through the receiving of that healing we have the potential to teach it and pass it on to the next. And understand what healing truly is. It is not a cure, but an experience of wholeness.
When we accept the bodies we live in as the magnificent temples they are, however scared from battle or wounded from grief and pains they may be, we open up within a portal of Light that beams more brightly than the brightest star, when we understand who and what we are..
It pains me to see my fellow sister beat herself down because of her dress size, insecurity of not being as beautiful as she wishes, without understanding of her worth or somehow in a state of lack. Even the most beautifully adorned looking in the mirror and seeing imperfection instead of the goddess. The word goddess means ‘a women who is adored’. Yet we are all too often hypervigilant of what we feel we do not have, so much so we are missing out on moments to treasure. We have all been there. Let our goal be to not return there any more often than possible and when we do find ourselves in that place let us leave reminders of who we are so we may not stay so long when we return in those moments of unknowing. Let us be vulnerable enough to go to a trusted sister and ask for a reminder. Let us love one another tenderly.
Love, it is the purpose of all journeys. Loving ourselves is perhaps the greatest of challenges along that path. We must Love ourselves and others genuinely to attract the reflection of genuine Love into our life experience. So today I ask you to look at yourself through the eyes of love you have for your family and friends. Give yourself a break. We are often the most difficult with ourselves, aren’t we? Today look and SEE what those who truly love and appreciate you see when they look into your eyes, into your gaze… Take great care of your Temple by loving it TODAY. Not in a month once you’ve lost an inch or pounds. Love it today, you today. Be mindful, in the moment, that this body is temporal but the spirit eternal. Mother yourself. Nurture your spirit. Breathe in gentleness and allow it to saturate your being. Know that each choice you make and life you touch literally changes eternity. Begin with your own.
Our sexuality is a topic deserving of its own message but for now I would say embrace your sensual spirit. Do not abuse your own body or allow another to for the body and spirit as we know are undeniably intertwined. Sex alone is a wondrous pleasure yet the woman (and man) who know the power of joining spirit with sex give rise to an experience that transcends earthly and physical understanding. Tantra is not about positions and knowledge of specialty definitions but of the knowing of one’s self through the opening and joining of the spirit with another. The enlightenment that can come from the sharing and embracing of our sexuality in spirit is beyond words. May we all take the care to entrust our souls and bodies only with those who also know and practice this as truth. The world exploits woman’s sexuality but we have the power as to the direction of our own personal power and energies. Standing in our power we give rise to truth and lower level energies may not reside around us. In this we instantly and effortlessly stand apart from the norm. We set standards for all those we come into contact with. We give the gift to our young sister to know she is a jewel to be adored not a trinket to be tossed amongst others trivially.
Today I ask you to sit in silence, let all thoughts and the minutia of daily living go - remember who you are. Give way for the inner voice to whisper its own love letter to your soul. Remember the little girl who still resides within, let her come out and play. When we do it’s amazing what she can remind us of and re-teach us. Offer gratitude to the ancestral line of mother’s who have come before giving us life. Feel your feet firmly planted on the earth and imagine the deep roots of the tree of life. Imagine how deep the roots intertwine far below the soil and the strength and nurturance provided... and when needed find shelter within its shade and branches. Remember. We know so much, often it is a matter of remembering versus learning.
Look above you into the sky and recognize the expansive majesty and mysteries of how great an opportunity to be on this rock floating in space. Recognize the Universe and your part in it. It is beyond amazing.
Above all know you are Loved and that you are Love, become a master of it.
And know that this letter started out as a love letter to a dear friend and reminder to myself.
Be Love.
In gratitude,
Ginnie
