EMBODYING THE GODDESS |  The Path from Sex to the Heart

“The awakening of the feminine depends on each one of us.”

Women have fought for their rights against patriarchal governments and religions that have kept them submissive. Still, what has been liberated is their masculine nature, while the feminine remains lurking. She now works in what she wants, has a free sexuality, is in control of her finances, holds positions of power and leadership, is free to be in or out of a relationship, to have children or not, etc. Yet, when I travel the world teaching courses to women, what I see empowered in them is their inner man, who, like the man representing patriarchy, does not respect their true feminine nature. He does not recognize that she is cyclical, does not allow her time to feel her emotions or her sexuality, demands that she be perfect, prevents her from feeling vulnerable, from moving her hips, from letting go and dancing joyfully, from having time to be the embrace that nurtures, from dissolving into tenderness and moving from the heart, from merging into the eternal now and losing track of time, from hearing the heartbeat of her heart in her womb when making love. No, that woman is not free.» 

This meeting aims to tear away the veils of collective conditioning on you as a woman to remember and rest in the patient nature of the heart, to move from the creative and transformative womb, the dwelling of the sacred feminine, and open yourself to your intuitive capacity, the witch’s eye whose vision is connected with the nature of all that Is. 

 

It will be dedicated to understanding our cyclical nature, our sexuality, and our intuition. 
From there, the feminine has space to live life, love, intimacy, and creativity in her daily life, bringing forth the transformative magic of her heart that is so necessary for everyone. 

The feminine embodies love, and as such, it is an innate responsibility for women to understand this essence and what it means to live centered in the heart. The sacred space of the heart is not something we have to learn. We only need to remember what is innate in us and carve our way through the tangle of emotionality, wounds acquired in our dealings with the masculine, with a sexuality that is not natural for us, and return to that space that has always been our consciousness of love in the physical body. 

Emotions present themselves in polarity; they are changeable and powerful and stain our consciousness so strongly that they make us slaves. In contrast, love is a constant state; when you recognize it in yourself, you become free and worthy so that the shine of your intrinsic beauty does not dim under any circumstance, not even when you feel pain.

The feminine awakens when it recognizes that its essence is love. That love does not depend on the beloved object, that it does not depend on whether you are loved, reciprocated, valued; it does not depend on anything; it simply is your essence.

In this way, you stop being a victim of your romantic desires and your codependence on the masculine to love it freely and teach it to love with spirit and integrity. 

“It happens that if we keep our hearts open, even in hell, we create space for THE BELOVED.

It is in the darkest night of the soul when all you know is nothing; when after striving for love everything fades away; that the presence of the sacred begins to silently emerge, mingling with our pain and connecting us
with the love that never dies»

Mirabai Starr

In this meeting, we will remember that by being awake moment by moment to the love we are, we can create a daily life that is not centered on haste, productivity, perfectionism, competition, social economic success or on the attention we receive from the masculine but rather on the joy of life itself. Centered in the heart, both hemispheres of the brain collaborate and balance emerges between femininity and masculinity within you.

When we focus on the heart, we also begin to understand that our sexuality is very powerful and goes beyond its reproductive or recreational function. Our sexuality is a path toward the heart of the world and toward connection with spirit. It is up to us to understand how to guide man’s basic sexuality to his heart; we are the temple within which man must learn to be present to awaken to Love. 

Due to a sexuality that is both unconscious and biological on one hand and obsessed with excitement, success or failure along with imposed goals and demands on the other hand—filled with misunderstandings, habits, shame, and guilt— we have had very little awareness to observe our bodies in their natural flow; thus natural sexual expressions have been distorted. 

A woman has the intrinsic capacity to guide sexual fire into her heart and fully experience herself as an expansive and ecstatic force! 

The lack of awareness of our feminine energy and body contributes to frustration and lack of self-love and consequently lack of life itself. Feeling the connection between sex and heart is fundamental in flowing femininity. For this purpose, knowing your body is essential. 

The purpose of our sexual exchange is to awaken us to true love and consciousness that we are. For women, this means descending deeper into the sweet mystery that Is; feeling the silence and magic of life within us so as to embody it in daily life—within our families, our society, and in the world we create together. 

This meeting is a call to women around the world who are so needed to return to the vibration of Love.

My search took me to tantra at the age of 18 when studying philosophy and orientalism I came across a book by the mystic Osho and I left everything to be close to that teacher who taught me to die, and still be happily alive enjoying life in all his expressions.

In addition to his talks, I had the opportunity to participate for 8 years in therapy and tantra groups where the work was purely experimental and knowledge was integrated on a physical, emotional and mental level, all crowned by meditation. Gestalt, bioenergetics, breathing, Ericksonian hypnosis, NLP, tantra, meditations of multiple mystical currents, Jungian works, sexual therapy, etc. were techniques that I learned to create the space that I want to share: The absolute presence of the mind in the here and now, relaxation of the heart and confidence in what Is.
