In the natural world, everything is interdependent. As early as a century before the birth of Christ, the Buddhist work Nagarjuna’s Middle Way presented all material on the planet as a kind of living mesh covering the earth’s surface. Thousands of years later, a man named Einstein joined up with some other scientists and brought us proof. Energy and mass (E=MC2) are interchangeable, and quantum physics, the science of relationship, was born. At its most basic, it says that mass (matter) and energy can change from one to the other and back again.
Humans do not see it that way - how could a beam of sunlight and a walnut be the same thing? - but nature does. Nature is the very highest example of relationship, the essence of interconnected feminine spirituality.
This unique spiritual perspective, often overlooked in a world dominated by masculine ethos, is a key to unlocking healthier, more fulfilling relationships and enhancing intimacy because it is natural and open – one living system reaching outward to another living system – and it doesn’t matter whether those systems are fauna or flora, in the backyard or on the other side of the world.
Feminine spirituality connects. Through that connection, feminine spirituality draws on nature’s energy and sends it back into the world as something else, fulfilling nature’s imperative of emptying and filling, filling and emptying, as all living systems do. Feminine spirituality’s huge impact on relationships and intimacy makes it an invaluable tool in daily life; the transformative nature it holds makes it a superpower. This spiritual perspective can help us understand the interconnectedness of all things and can lead to a more profound understanding of ourselves and our relationships.
Recognizing and validating feminine spirituality in a world that often prioritizes masculine perspectives is essential for all of us; it keeps the world in balance.
Feminine spirituality is a unique perspective that views spirituality as an inseparable part of nature, rather than something separate or superior to it. This ethos of interdependency allows for a system where spirituality is intertwined with consciousness rather than being placed on a pedestal or divorced from it.
This perspective contrasts sharply with the masculine ethos, which often promotes a single-minded focus on spirit, often at the expense of the natural world. After all, the Catholic Church destroyed all the writings of Democritus, the great ancient thinker who created a huge body of work on nature. He first identified atoms if his contemporaries can be believed. But nature can’t rule, said the Church. It has to be man and thus his work went up in the fires of history.
Feminine spirituality, on the other hand, appreciates each realm for its inherent nature and unique value. This perspective resolves the age-old god-versus-nature debate, allowing for a harmonious marriage between the spiritual and the natural. Moreover, it also encourages a more inclusive and holistic approach to spirituality, recognizing the importance of both the spiritual and the physical in our lives.
Feminine spirituality significantly influences a woman's approach to relationships. It encourages a system of mutually influencing reciprocity, fostering shared power and connection. This perspective views some aspects of our humanity not as distractions from spirit but as qualities to be embraced and celebrated. Many women, in fact, practice their spirituality through their connections to society, friends, family, and lovers.
The power dynamics in relationships influenced by feminine spirituality are distinct. Women who embrace their feminine spirituality often find themselves in positions of power, not through domination or control, but through building systems rooted in nature and interdependency. Think of a mother in the household; everything revolves and arranges itself around her. Literally, the silly “happy wife, happy life” is a summation of women’s ability to influence without control.
Communication within relationships is also influenced by feminine spirituality. It promotes honesty from a multidimensional perspective, communicated in feeling tones rather than data and facts, fostering a deeper understanding and connection. Furthermore, it also encourages a more empathetic and compassionate approach to communication, recognizing the importance of understanding and respecting the feelings and perspectives of others.
History has long wanted to separate the feminine from sexuality. It is impossible. Wave after wave of oppression has crashed over the women of planet Earth in attempt to take a profound piece of her identity. Yet she does not stop and will not stop. In fact, feminine spirituality is a huge part of her drive. Through sex, she can touch the Divine energies available to all in the form of feminine spirituality.
Feminine spirituality has a profound impact on both sexual and emotional intimacy. It encourages women to embrace their erotic nature, enhancing sexual intimacy by promoting a deeper connection with their bodies and their partners. This connection is not just physical, but also emotional and spiritual, leading to a more fulfilling sexual experience.
For skilled practitioners of feminine spirituality, sex lights up the room with an energy one can almost see, like a room with a window left open allowing the lightning bugs to flood in. It promotes a deeper connection with the body, allowing women to draw consciousness out of the imaginary heavens and into the natural world, leading to a more profound and satisfying physical connection. Touch is examined, remembered, and integrated into the soul. Stillness and excitement are easily available. Tangled hair and wild eyes become ravenously beautiful.
Feminine spirituality lives in that natural world. Partners meet the full expression of the other in feminine spirituality because it embraces the entire human: a hairy, toothy, soft, yielding, growling, groaning, whispering, crying, howling, purring, and laughing whole human.
Feminine power also plays a crucial role in defining a woman's identity in relationships. It encourages women to embrace their unique nature and value, fostering a sense of self-worth and empowerment. This sense of empowerment can transform the dynamics of a relationship, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling connection. Moreover, it also encourages women to take an active role in shaping their relationships, recognizing their power and potential to influence and transform their relationships.
These qualities transform power dynamics. By being exactly who they are, women change the air pressure. Force gives way to consensus. The masculine learns to speak. A balance between the feminine and masculine sets off an almost unstoppable collaboration and massive internal growth for both. That’s how essential feminine spirituality is to the universe.
Despite its benefits, there are common misconceptions about feminine spirituality and its role in relationships. Some view it as a threat to traditional power dynamics, while others misunderstand its emphasis on interdependency and connection. Women expressing their feminine spirituality in relationships often face challenges, including cultural and social displeasure.
The path of feminine spirituality, however, is so important to the balance and health of the world that each and every one of us should make it our mission to understand it, practice it, and educate others.
At a midtown New York corporation, a senior vice president struggled with her emotions as her father lay dying 2000 miles away. Should she tell her boss and request time off? Or should she keep working through the hospitalization and go at the last possible minute? She had just arrived in the corner office she had worked so hard for over the last two decades. She didn’t want to put her career in jeopardy. Her boss was an explosive man known for his brilliance and vision. She did not expect he’d be happy if she had to leave for a week.
The internal pressure grew too much for her. She wanted to walk her father to the end of his life. She wanted to honor him that way. So she took a deep breath, went into her boss’s office, and told him, pouring out her feelings of horror, that her father would exit without knowing how much she loved him. She reached out based on feminine principles for communication and connection, and her boss answered with the same feminine spirituality.
He expressed his condolences and told her about when his mother was dying, and he was not at her side. This troubled him all his life. He told his employee that he felt he could right that wrong a little bit by asking her to go to her father and help him die. That’s how a difficult moment turns into a transcendent moment; through feminine spirituality.
Feminine spirituality has a profound impact on relationships and intimacy. It fosters healthier, more fulfilling relationships and enhances intimacy by promoting a deeper connection with nature and the self. Women are encouraged to explore and embrace their feminine spirituality, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-worth, transforming their relationships. By embracing feminine spirituality, we can foster a more balanced, harmonious, and fulfilling connection with ourselves and others.
Without her and feminine spirituality, the world is not whole.
