Knowing our roots helps us to understand who we are, where we come from and what we can do in our lives. The knowledge passed down from mother to daughter, for generations, it is a treasure of inestimable value.

 

 

To be a woman means to welcome its rhythms, its waves, which flow together with nature, to enter into communication with that intuition which is unfortunately rarely fully understood or listened to, to perceive the world in a different, less linear and more cyclical way, to have special attention to one’s “tribe”, and to know how to mobilize when one needs one’s own warrior forces to defend what is dear to one’s heart.

The legacy of the female lineage teaches us to change the world, to revolutionize it in a gentle way, without weapons, without violence. With fairness.

But in order to reach a balanced and centred state of power on which women can give life to a new tomorrow, they need to recover their memory: the ancestral memory conveyed by their mothers, grandmothers, ancestors, the memory that flows within them, the memory that leads them to have such a special connection with nature and with other people’s feelings.

In order to give themselves this possibility, mothers have this great and profound task: to guide their daughters, to help them to listen to the voice of their authentic being, so different from that of today’s world shaped on a more linear and hierarchical, less collaborative, less feminine, but not for this reason more powerful.

 

“Raising a young woman is an important task for a mother. To teach her to love her body, to recognise her talents, to cultivate within her the ancient wisdom of the female lineage is a responsibility that requires commitment and a great deal of sensitivity”.

(Taken from “Custodian of the Sacred Fire” by Alessandra Comneno. Anima Ed.).

 

We should remember the fiery, active aspect of the woman, when in ancient times she was the guardian of the sacred fire and of the fire of the hearth, of the fire of life But women are not only welcoming, generous as the earth; they can be the fire that warms, that excites and sometimes destroys and transforms, and for this reason, it is useful that each one can count on the wise, conscious and kind guidance of another woman who will be able to accompany her on her journey of discovery of the ancient wisdom of which she is the guardian.

 

Many women have forgotten that they have an ancient guardian of fire in their lineage, but in every woman there is still a spark of that ancient transforming flame. A spark that simply needs to be seen, valued, nourished, guided by a mother, whether of blood or soul, it does not matter; that spark is a fire in power that every woman can transmit: she can pass on what she has received and what she has learned to her daughters, in a virtuous evolutionary cycle, not only for the good of women, but for the good of all, because we are all sons and daughters of a mother.

Better world for future generations

 

Women are able to mobilize their forces across the four corners of the planet, in the heart of the most bitter conflicts, and to do so by singing, bringing a hope of peace, a message; by showing, through concrete action in the world, that what unites us can be stronger than what separates us.

Here is the Prayer of the Mothers, the hymn of “Women Wage Peace”, a women’s movement for peace that has mobilized thousands of women, from different cultures and religions, in a peaceful way; women who have made their voices heard in times of war and who have shown the world that the power of the Mothers is strong and present and that she is able to spread her voice everywhere in the world.

 

Prayer of the Mothers

A whisper of ocean wind

Is blowing from far away

And laundry is flapping

To the shadow of the wall

Between the sky and the land

There are people who want to live in peace

Don’t give up, keep dreaming

Of peace and prosperity

When will the walls of fear melt

When will I return from exile

And my gates will open

To what is truly good

Come on Sleep! – Another sunrise

Come on Sleep – And morning is here

We will slaughter – A mother sends

A pigeon for you – Along with a prayer

Fly pigeon, Don’t believe – Her child to school

We will laugh with the child – to the sound

So that he may sleep – of war

The walls of fear will some day melt

And I will return from exile

My gates shall open

To what is truly good

from the north to the south

from the west to the east

hear the prayer of the mothers

bring them peace

bring them peace

Light is rising from the east to the prayer of the mothers for peace

 

 

 

Everything we create comes from a force of energy. That energy starts from our thoughts, however, before our thoughts, come the feelings. If we connect a strong feeling or emotion to a thought, it is the universal law that this MUST become an experience.

 

 

Literally, the law of attraction states that “like attracts like”. In order to gain positive results while using this law, you need to keep up a positive outlook on life. The law of attraction teaches that joy brings joy; thoughts of money bring money; anger receives anger; fear causes fear; laughter makes more laughter, and a positive outlook attracts others with positive outlooks.

For example; If you want to spring clean the house, you do not aimlessly wander around and start cleaning. You have the idea (the thought), followed by the feeling and then take action. Sometimes we “feel” like doing something, and other times, we don’t. Either way, it is produced by either a thought or a feeling.

Our emotions are what create our manifestations. The two most important emotions to ensure you manifest your desires are Passion and Excitement. Take a look back at a time in your life, where you felt genuine passion and excitement. It could have been with regards to a new job, a promotion or the thought of having a child. You may not have been aware, but the moment you felt that genuine passion and excitement, you were visualising the event and by visualising, you were manifesting the thought and feeling into an experience. Many people live their lives, the way society tells them to. We become a creature of habit, comparing ourselves to people around us.

 

By doing this, we live our lives with limited beliefs, therefore, creating a limited lifestyle. One way to create a limitless life is affirmations. Affirmations are a short statement, that you repeat all day, every day but with feeling. For example; If you have a bad “feeling” towards money, then the law is to create a further lack of money.

However, by using an affirmation such as, “money comes to me easily and frequently”, this can change. It is important to note that but just repeating the words, nothing will change.You have to FEEL and BELIEVE in what you are saying.

 

The power of the law of attraction works like any other law of nature. Just as the law of gravity dictates that what comes up must come down, the law of attraction dictates that your thoughts bring about your desires. Whether you accept it or not, the law is always at work and will keep right on working for you, consciously or unconsciously.

 

But knowing our true series is not an easy job. How to distinguish false desires from authentic ones?

False desires distance us from our authentic goals, the only ones that can make us happy and satisfied. Identifying them is not simple, but a first step is to consider everything that happens to us, including people and surrounding things, like a mirror that can show us parts of ourselves that we might not otherwise see.

Let’s think, for example, of a trivial event as a clogged sink.

The concept of “comfort zone” is of public domain. Comfort zone is the expression used to indicate that security area, protection, defence circulated in the space of the newspaper, to the known one this is hardly ever a garden for enthusiasm and implementation. It is an expression of a flat life of a square mentality, an action taken by preset action, premeditated by moves that do not contemplate the possibility of a risk. It is a land that has already been beaten by millions of other feet where reliability relief is, in the end, to transform into oppressive statics: It is well known that only where there is movement, external or internal, is throbbing the heart.

 

The “comfort” therefore, which could apparently transfer a conception of life “comfortable” and therefore also light and carefree, hides behind and inside its essence, a sad truth: the comfort zone, in the long term, is decidedly uncomfortable – uncomfortable. In fact, it is the comfort zone, especially by reaffirming the importance of not being trapped, because the comfort and the special cosiness of this condition are to be regarded as parasites which are clouding subtle between the fold of our concerns, paralysing the free flow of our existence.

 

 

 

Leaving the comfort zone means, rather, changing our perspective and attitude towards what we consider our daily lives. There is a strong mental association to avoid the concept of normality; how human beings tend to create alibis and justifications to convince ourselves that the life we live is the one we have chosen and want. Recognizing the fears of inadequacy and failure behind which we hide is the first step in understanding whether instead of living we are surviving in an established security perimeter, which certainly protects against the possibility of making mistakes (if we have decided to believe that error exists) but just as tenaciously precludes life rather than stimulating it.

 

Coming out of comfort zone, it comes into a new optical that embraces the change by making an opportunity an opportunity. It is that one that we are expected to experience and learn empirically, finally finding multiple points of view to all those questions that we thought had only one answer.

There are people facing an unexpected event, out of their plans, they panic; life is a wise teacher because always at the moment when it lets us go to an aseptic routine, it send us signals to interpret and opportunities to be seized before it opts for more traumatic ways and passes to bring us to reconsider our priorities and desires, help us to see, hear, learn. This learning zone is the way in which it feels free and incredibly fiducials falling at the same time because it is beginning to feel the strength of themselves and the world that supports us, around and within us, who are merely waiting to be discovered.

 

 

A very simple cartoon as symbolic states that the area outside our comfort zone is the one where the magic happens: of an encounter, of growth, of an upheaval that can be even a small step, an awareness.

For this reason, if you find your comfort zone, abandon it.

Change habits, look with new eyes, take yourself less seriously and more seriously in the desire to rejoice and expand your being, ask for help, live the fullness of a desire and watch it take shape despite it may not be shared or accepted, trust of the instinct that always knows which way to take you, panders to your creativity and your desire to renew yourself, you understand that we are all extremely different, deeply unique and complementary individuals… but especially relax, breathe in your belly, and take this step beyond your personal boundaries that are nothing more than resistance to the opportunity to live authentically.

This is the real magic: always expect the unexpected, saying yes to what is new, to renew your belief in life. Let’s leave comfort to the inept and choose to “be”.

 

When you decide to do serious work on yourself, past the euphoria of the beginnings where everything seems new and wonderful, comes the moment where you find yourself having to dig deep to bring to the surface all that series of things that you wouldn’t want to see. Indeed, it is usually hidden and well-buried; somewhere nobody can see, as it makes us realize we’re not the person we thought, digging with our hands

 

Then comes the much-feared moment: the encounter with the Shadow, our inner dragon, guardian of our fears and all those dark sides of our personality, but also of our most precious inner treasure: what, according to an ancient Hindu legend, would remain hidden from the human being until the time when he would understand where to look.

And if there’s one thing you don’t often admit when it comes to inner work, it’s more about getting your hands dirty in mud than wandering the world all dressed in white.

 

“You do not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but becoming conscious of the darkness.”

(Carl G. Jung)

In order to bring out our inner treasure and use it in the world, it will be necessary to demonstrate its worth, to demonstrate courage, to have gained the experience and the inner wisdom in order to face any adversary and be mature enough, balanced and conscious to be able to open our eyes to ourselves without judgment or the temptation to feel “arrived”, but simply by acknowledging one’s own essence.

An old legend reveals the secret of your inner treasure

When one venture into one’s inner world, one has to confront the language of the unconscious, made up of symbols and archetypes often represented since antiquity by gods and goddesses. For this reason, it is not uncommon to come across old tales and legends that convey a deep and precious knowledge even if through simple words.

Here’s you’re looking for an ancient Hindu legend that will help you understand that thing you can’t name…

“There was a time when men were like the gods, but they abused their power so much that Brahma, the supreme God, decided to deprive them of divine power by hiding it in a place inaccessible to them. He thought of consulting the other gods to solve the problem. Some of the gods gathered in the council said, “We will hide the divinity of man in the depths of the earth.” Brahma replied, “It is not enough, man will dig and find it,” the gods said then, “We will hide the divinity of man in the ocean depths.” Brahma replied, “It is not enough, man will explore the depths of the sea and manage to bring it back to the surface”, then the gods “we will hide it on the highest mountain, almost at the edge of the sky, where man will not be able to reach” Brahma replied again: ‘It is not enough, man will climb the highest mountains and seize it.’ Then the gods concluded, ‘We do not know where to hide the divinity of man, there is no place on earth, in the sea, or in the sky that he cannot reach. Finally, Brahma feels that he has reached the solution to the problem and said, ‘We will hide it deep within the man himself, he will live right in his heart: it is the only place where man will not look.’”

 

There’s a fearsome adversary inside you, but it’s not what it looks like…

Such a treasure must, of course, be defended because the potential it can give to the person who conquers it is not without responsibility and it is within us that we will find our Shadow side that is nothing but the Guardian of this part of us so powerful. It is him, the dragon, the adversary, but even if it will hinder us in every way in our search for the self, it remains a part of us, an important part.

If we try to hurt the Keeper, we will hurt ourselves; If we try to ignore it, we will ignore a fundamental part of our being, but then how could we win this battle against our Shadow knowing that whatever we do against her, will we do it?

Bert Hellinger (and many others before him explains this to us): “The most precious treasures are treasured by the most terrible dragon. To reach the treasures, you have to go to the dragon… and kiss him.”

 

A battle you don’t win by fighting

 

The comparison with our Shadow side is a precious moment because it marks an important moment of passage: beating in retreat in front of the Guardian will lead us to deny a part of us, to reject the gift and to get stuck in our evolution; to be able to look it in the eye, accept that it is part of us and integrate it will allow us to work on that side of our personality that encloses the energy of primordial chaos and give it a shape, work it, transmute it.

 

“In our unconscious nothing is to be rejected, but simply to retune and transmute.”

(Carl G. Jung)

 

We will no longer fight the dragon, we will not pretend that that Shadow is not ours, we will welcome it and in doing so we could work with her to reach a level of understanding and greater awareness: we will channel her impetuous energy that we will use as fuel in bringing our treasure out into the open. It will be on that land worked in-depth, healed and invigorated, that we could then build a life based on our authentic being.

 

 

THE MAN WALKING NEXT TO THE HEALER WOMAN

When a man chooses a woman who follows her vocation to heal humanity, his only possibility is to maintain the connection and follow it.

 

It may happen that man will have to abandon his needs, or that he too finds the means of healing through the shared path.

When a man chooses a woman who heals collective wounds following her vocation, his vocation in the universe goes beyond a greater purpose and far beyond building a home or raising children.

Their universal connection goes above the respect of the traditional models of society.

Man agrees to protect his woman, to take care of her, and when he feels overwhelmed by the strength of the woman, he must learn to transform his pain of detachment into the feeling of compassion.

 

 

It means for him to host a different form of sexuality, as healing at the level of sexuality is one of the deepest issues of the woman who needs to be a healer.

For him, this, once again, is about accepting slowness, softness and healing, about holding back or reorienting his impulse and being present for everything.

 

 

Because when a man chooses a woman who aspires to true freedom, he can only follow her and together leave behind the narcissistic aspects and recognize the path of the woman as her path to autonomy.

If he decides to take on this mission, he accepts a task that serves the well-being of all men and will teach other men the sacred depths.

Within himself, the man creates a safe space, to keep his woman safe from old wounds.

When a man chooses a woman for wisdom, he cannot trap her within his own deficits so that he desires to lessen his fear of sharing it with others or losing it.

 

When a man chooses a woman who follows her vocation, he cannot fear these words: respect, humility, and surrender.

Rather, he will walk the path of divinity next to his companion, his wife, his healer, with gratitude and an overflowing heart.

 

Because this woman will choose, if she ever chooses, in favor of the well–being of all humanity, and she will be able to choose to walk alone.

However, she is aware of the power that lies in the presence of a man and knows that he is her strength, his reality and in him is guarded a deep part of her soul.
