Greetings to everyone!
As the March 8th holiday comes to a close, I want to share some reflections on a conversation.
A friend of mine, a mature and wise man, happened to meet the daughter of his old friends after a long break – she is now a successful young woman. Her well-groomed appearance, prestigious job, and formal family well-being could not hide from him her inner dissatisfaction and the lack of joy in her eyes.
One thing led to another – it turned out that her Work didn’t bring much joy either, but she didn’t know what to do for her soul without losing her usual comfort; and her husband, who was once beloved and no worse than others, was tiring her – she had to decide everything herself!
But, most importantly: there was so much imperfection around!.. Envious friends, predatory competitors; parents – exhausting her with their overprotectiveness and worries… Age – nearing thirty, and she seemed to have everything, but there was no joy!..
“Try feeling like a goddess,” my acquaintance advised, “then your husband will be happy to earn your favor, the people around you will transform, and you yourself will start enjoying life!..” “Really?..” our heroine exclaimed…
And I, having heard this story in the evening, decided to record a podcast for you, with an answer, so to speak, to that exclamation.
Dear friends! The life of modern society is far from harmony and beauty. But strangely enough, the true magic for transforming this life lies within ourselves, simply by the right of being born women!..
It’s no coincidence that many cultures have proverbs whose essence can be summed up as: “One is born a woman, one becomes a man.” And the fact that so many women do not enjoy their feminine role and do not inspire men to valiant deeds does not negate this rule at all.
The very concept of femininity in the modern world is associated with “weakness,” which greatly confuses the situation. Can you imagine a “weak” Pallas Athena, or a “weak” Aphrodite?.. Yet there is no doubt about their inspiring feminine Nature!..
What qualities of the soul within ourselves can we liberate in order to truly feel like goddesses and transform the world around us for the better? – this is discussed in the audio recording presented below.
