The Emerging Power and Grace of the Feminine for Healing a Planet in
Crisis
by Karen Rae Wilson, an
international leadership consultant and visionary performing artist.
What does it mean to be a spiritual and
savvy empowered feminine presence in the world today?
What is the role of women in transforming the world?
How do we include what is ancient, mystical and mysterious in our lives
and be a force for change in the world?
How do we balance work, family and creativity in the fast paced lives
most of us are living?
In ancient times women would gather at the well to commune with each
other and to draw forth the living waters from the Earth. The well
served as a chalice for the community. It was there that the rhythm and
ritual of the community was inspired and created. Through prophecy and
vision the spiritual guidance for Creation was shared.
The role of the feminine in its most elevated presence has always been
to inspire the highest ideals of society.
Now, more than ever it is essential to restore the power and beauty of
the Feminine Vibration on Earth
and within ourselves - to bring back a
sense of love, caring and compassion for the human family as we navigate
the coming times of transformation and change.
We must begin to develop a global paradigm based on caring not only for
what is profitable but for what is right for ourselves, our children
and the Earth to invest in what has long term value for all the
children and the generations to come. 2008 will call us into planetary
service and alignment to create more equality for all races and
cultures.
Many of the issues that are facing us are profound and far reaching
global warming, ice caps melting, entire cultures being lost to war and
aggression with the preservation of the Great Mother, our Earth
hanging in the balance.
We have a whole generation of young people wondering whether they still
have a future to invest in. What an incredible time to use our
giftedness to light up the world to be come leaders in the emerging
global ethics for humanity.
This coming decade will mark a change in our definition of success and
power. We have been given a unique opportunity to rise above the chaos
of our times and be energized and defined not by what we "do" but by
"what gifts we can give.
The prophecies of the Great Medicine Traditions of every indigenous
culture call forth the honoring of the feminine as an absolute necessity
if we are to save the world from destruction.
There is a beautiful Navajo prophecy woven into a blanket called the
blanket of Hope. The prophecy says the world is like a great bird that
has two wing - one wing is too strong - that is the masculine while the
other wing is too weak -that is the feminine and that the world will not
come back into balance until the feminine grows stronger until the corn
maidens stand up.
I have had the honor of sitting with this blanket and being in ceremony
with the woman who holds it. It is always life changing to be in the
middle of a greater mythology to be part of a living moving prophecy
to discover that our story has meaning and is woven into a greater
tapestry than any of us can imagine. Now is the time we to have courage
to stand up for things that really matter.
Perhaps it is no coincidence one of the symbols of the feminine essence
has always been water Water has the ability to carve away great
boulders over time with its gentle but unceasing and unstoppable waves.
When water meets resistance it always finds a way to flow around the
obstacle in its path.
In that sense we as women are a mighty wave of unstoppable power for
change and healing.
In closing I would like to include a quote from my one woman show: Many
Women, One Voice A woman with vision has the ability to create a
whole new civilization in the palm of her hand.
May the coming year of 2008 give birth to a new dream for humanity and
may new seeds of hope and love be planted in our hearts this year...
