For many years I lived with depression, feeling totally hopeless and at the world’s mercy. But more recently, through attending Universal Medicine presentations and the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom I have come to rediscover that all I require is already living within me and the more I connect to and live from this space the more beautiful life becomes for me. I now love living, and working, where as I used to dread each day upon waking.
I have recently become aware of the feeling of sacredness that all women hold within. I am amazed that we live most, if not all our life, unaware that we carry such power and authority within. I feel like we have chosen to be led astray from knowing what is there to connect to and build a deepening relationship with, yet this is the very base of who we are as girls and women.
What we offer to ourselves and those around us, simply by connecting to this sacredness, is a beauty and strength that is lacking in the world, yet it is living inside us just waiting to be connected to and then expressed from.
There is such a simplicity and clarity available when living from this connection. The connection I have offers so much support to those around me on an energetic level and I am amazed at the expansion I witness in both myself and them. When walking the other day, fully claiming my power and sacredness as a woman, I observed a 10 year old girl stop dead in her tracks and watch me, then she walked away quite tall and open in her own posture. This is amazing, she claimed herself as a woman.
Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with. It can be her guiding light throughout life if she so chooses.
I am slowly building and learning more about this natural, yet new way of being. The grace I feel within when I am aware of this connection is like nothing I have experienced before. I feel like nothing can touch me, that I am living in a life that is ready for me before I even walk through the door, the joy I feel is explosive and I love connecting to others.
I get to enjoy my body on a whole new level. I enjoy the sensations I feel within my body and the harmony and space that is forever growing and getting stronger. This supports me to enjoy any activity I am doing because I am doing it with and from this connection. This even includes scrubbing toilets and having raw conversations with others.
I am learning how to function with such a delicate feeling. I can work in quite a physical job with this connection, although I am slowly tweaking how I do this. I work as a house cleaner and I work quite quickly. It is not the speed I work in that is changing but more my feeling of just being 100% in both my mind and body with what I am doing so as not to get flustered or caught up in what there is to do and the time I have available.
I’m not perfect, simply a student who’s forever learning. I can now truly appreciate those moments when I’m able to stay connected to that sacredness within during my working day, connected to me – a truth available to all women.

This is some thing every woman needs to know about themselves: “I have recently become aware of the feeling of sacredness that all women hold within. I am amazed that we live most, if not all our life, unaware that we carry such power and authority within.”
“The connection I have offers so much support to those around me on an energetic level” Nothing may physically, visually happen but changes can also be felt and sometimes not. But that doesn’t mean that nothing has changed. It may just take longer to materialise.
When we see ourselves as forever learning life becomes a playground that we can be loving in whilst we are not afraid to make mistakes.
When I first heard the word sacredness I had know idea what it truly meant though I now know though observing those women who walk and talk this ultimate power.
From reflection we learn so much from one and other.
True scacredness is I feel, something I have just touched the very tip upon, although this is something that is held innately within us all we seem to know very little about it. There is so much more for us to re-connect to, feel and truly know and as others have shared this comes all from within our body.
It is not just women that are playing small big time on this planet, so to are the men, we have been running from who we are both male and female for far too long.
Yes a truth available to all women and we are reminded of it by the reflection of others who walk it in our lives. Sometimes it is a ‘chance’ meeting on the side of a road, other times it is in our families. What I know now is that we cannot wait for another to be that reflection for us but we must recognise that this sacredness lives within us all and it is for us to re-connect to and live.
‘I have recently become aware of the feeling of sacredness that all women hold within. I am amazed that we live most, if not all our life, unaware that we carry such power and authority within.’ Being ignorant of this feeling there was still a knowing on some level that I was missing something, even though I didn’t know what it was carrying around a tension and a sadness, of which I didn’t know the source. The tension I put down to feeling misunderstood and not liking the world as it is, and in my discontent didn’t compute the depth of the sadness at the feeling of having lost something most loved, burying it under a layer of function. Re-connecting to that sacredness for me was like unwrapping a present but the gift felt familiar, like I had come home.
‘When walking the other day, fully claiming my power and sacredness as a woman, I observed a 10 year old girl stop dead in her tracks and watch me, then she walked away quite tall and open in her own posture. This is amazing, she claimed herself as a woman.’ This alone shows how we observe others and are observed by others all throughout our day. Just being without even saying anything and the quality we are in is a responsibility we all have.
Yes so tru, we have eyes and a body that receives pictures 24 hours a day, we would be wise to make this an experiment for ourselves so we can understand the impact of that.
It is sad that we have to be reminded of our innate qualities, that we don’t live them naturally. It is sad that we have young women growing up thinking that they have to compete with men and be like men in order to achieve anything. True power is to live in a world in connection to these qualities, not achieving a goal at any cost.
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with. ” Deeply holding and precious to feel the potential that is within us all.
If there was even a possibility of this being possible how could we not give it a go?!
There is so much we haven’t been told or encouraged to treasure. Our sacredness is something that has to be felt from the body as you have shared here and then moved rather than discussed as a theory.
Spot on Lucy and Melinda – and then from the reflections of others living this we get reminded of what we also have access to.
What a testimony! To consider that you have been no less committed to your life and work but now approach it in a very different way that offers you more space and grace is inspiring.
That is one sacred ‘qualification’ that I am saying yes to. But in truth it feels more like a refresher course, as deep within me I know this sacredness, as it is a natural part of me, but up until now there has been no one who has shared with me, that this is so.
From my own lived experience, I know the futility and the exhaustion that comes with trying to be perfect, so how refreshing it is to read your words “I’m not perfect, simply a student who’s forever learning”. Knowing this does away with right and wrong, and making mistakes, and in turn lets us know that life is a classroom, we are the forever students and there’s not an ounce of perfection in sight.
A great point for us all to be reminded of Ingrid – for perfection can govern and ruin things when we abide by it as opposed to allowing our natural expression to unfold.
So many of us women live a diminished life. We do not allow ourselves to feel our power and express it in the world. We are mostly frightened of this power in case it might be too much for people or even hurt people. It cannot hurt anyone lest we are confusing force with power. If there is any control in there it is not true power. True Power is in our Sacredness.
I am starting to feel the sacredness of life but don’t really have words to describe it. There are words that I could use but I feel that their use diminishes the very thing that I am trying to describe. Putting words to formlessness is something that we’ve done for eons but it can’t possibly work because it attempts to tether formlessness onto the world of form and the world of formlessness is beyond our human comprehension.
Very beautifully expressed Alexis
Yes, it’s is a qualification that comes from the Universe-ity. 🙂
This is HUGE ‘I now love living, and working, where as I used to dread each day upon waking.’ for me if someones life has changed in such a way it is great to know how it change (how they changed it) as there are many many people in the world who dread each day upon waking or are very depressed and not truly loving life.
Although not clinically ‘depressed’ I would say that most of us are living a very muted version of life. I have only recently started to live in such a way that I am feeling vibrant and purposeful in everything that I do but I have experienced enough of living this way to realise that most of us are living a decidedly dumbed down version of what’s possible. And I’m not talking about getting fit, having a great job and a loving partner as all of those things belong to the notion of ‘having a better life’, I am talking about living with true purpose and true purpose for all of us whether we believe it or not is to serve God through our living way.
It brings tears of joy, to know that others feel this within and to know that I to am connecting with this absolute truth…”The grace I feel within when I am aware of this connection is like nothing I have experienced before.” It is no surprise that we can be low, depressed, disregarding and dishonouring of ourselves when we deny this glory within us.
I had no idea what sacredness was, now slowly but surely I am reconnecting to that which is inside, and in doing so reawakening the sacredness that is within.
“For many years I lived with depression, feeling totally hopeless and at the world’s mercy.” Depression is an overwhelming problem for many in the world today and the Ageless Wisdom offers the way to bring light to the world.
There is an awakening, but yes as a humanity we need to stop going backwards with this and think we need to fill our children, they are not born empty, look inter eyes. Same as us as adults, no emptiness, a depth of love and stillness: sacredness in every one of us, that is there to be expressed.
Sacredness is a quality of movement that is impulsed from our inner most essence. It is within body women and men equally. I have been reconnecting with it recently and the authority and power of awareness living it is both natural and extremely freeing.
Perfection is the imprissonment of our truth. In this world there is no perfection, but an imperfection that makes us one. Striving for perfection is so a limited ideal that deliberately does not allow us to see beyond the ill creation we are in (that is not of our truth).
So true Danna, it’s an imprisonment of our whole being.
Beautiful to feel the practicality in how you live and bring sacredness into your work: no matter what we do, it’s not what we do or the hours we work, but how we are with ourselves, that dictates the quality we work in, and how connected to ourselves, and others, we feel.
I am learning to hold the sacredness within, the power and authority, delicacy and transparency no matter what is presented in front of me. The tension I feel I am embracing knowing there is another level of deepening to live the woman consistently in all her glory.
There’s a million different self-help books in this world but none that I have seen that present that we are sacred, divine beings. This shows how unique and grand Universal Medicine is – it looks at the big picture. Looking at this is great Medicine for us to do.
This clearly shows the responsibility we have to re-claim and live from our Sacredness, offering a true reflection for all, including inspiring young girls to make different choices for themselves to know their Sacredness and not set themselves up to be crushed by the expectations of the world .
“When walking the other day, fully claiming my power and sacredness as a woman, I observed a 10 year old girl stop dead in her tracks and watch me, then she walked away quite tall and open in her own posture. This is amazing, she claimed herself as a woman”.
I’ll admit I still shy away from the power for others that comes out when I live in connection to who I am. It’s like having stage fright and refusing to go on stage when called for. But I do wonder what would happen if I did allow myself to be that power-full, because the effect of holding back on my body feels horrible.
I am also becoming more aware of the connection to my body and my work and being open and willing to explore what gets in the way when I lose sight of this connection to me and my body. If I am not present with my body then I am not connected – sounds simple but I am learning to live this in my day.
Sacredness is a word often relegated to describing ancient relics, objects, buildings etc but I love how Universal Medicine brings it back to a specific quality that lives within us all and one that we can all re-connect with and bring into our expression in daily life.
The word sacredness was alien to me when it was first introduced through Universal Medicine but now I am beginning to embrace it within myself. It is very beautiful when we are presented with the truth of words for us to explore within ourselves and in life.
Sacredness is naturally who we are, no seeking or searching externally will ever find it – only surrendering to that which is already within our essence, does it once more express through our grace of expression and movement.
How beautiful it is to observe a woman walking with all of her; “fully claiming her power and sacredness as a woman”. I too have come to know that when I choose to walk with all of me those around me can feel it, so therefore it is my responsibility to never hold back my power and my sacredness as the ripples flow from me – as they flow from all of us – as I move through my day, no matter what I am doing.
When we move in that sacredness we are so much more than the body functioning, it is the inner being in all its grace and presence.
We have a perception of what sacredness is, in my opinion this perception must be so far removed from the truth of what it truly is. It is sad, very sad, that as a population we women do not have this quality of life every day. We are so far removed, running for trains, buses with hundreds of bags on our shoulders, in our hands, holding our purse in our mouth, just to jump on and make it wherever we are going “on time”. There is no time for self-nurturing, for walking in connection and feeling the movement of every limb of our body. There’s no time to stop and connect to the world around us, the people we meet and even our colleagues at work. The worst of all, we are the ones suffering the most. The squishing of our hearts, is most painful in our chest.
Perhaps sacredness is so natural that we do not need to try and find it, create it, or discover it. Perhaps it is so innate to our being and to our bodies that the only action required is to confirm its presence and let the rest happen from there.
Thank you for sharing the inspirational transformation in your life and how this is available to us all – a non prescription route out of depression which deserves to be widely shared especially in the current mental health crisis where so many are struggling to connect to their purpose in life.
Sacredness is a word that has come to have many meanings. Over time it has been taken on by different beliefs and so it can be difficult to convey the truth of what this word actually means. But I have learnt that the truth of this word lives in the movements of certain women that I have had the greatest honour to know. Women such as Natalie and Miranda Benhayon. They live a relationship with sacredness that is not linked to any system of belief, but rather a simple living way that has at its most basic level a deep connection with a quality that can only be described as sacred.
There is no greater pain than the pain we all feel when we have not honoured the simple truth that we are divine.
There is no level of sacredness being honoured from another unless we choose to honour the sacredness within us all.
What a turn around of how your life was and how you had been feeling, ‘through attending Universal Medicine presentations and the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom I have come to rediscover that all I require is already living within me and the more I connect to and live from this space the more beautiful life becomes for me.’
I love how we inspire each other by such simple things as our posture and way of moving. Even your mentioning it here has me sitting up straightening and elongating my spine immediately feeling more alert and alive and ready for whats next.
Like water in a river or electricity in a wire, sacredness is naturally designed to be there. There’s something in us that blocks the damm and cuts the cord – but once we’ve identified this inner saboteur exists, it’s possible for us to have 100% connection and live like this.
I like this Joseph, it’s reminded me it’s actually a whole Universe we are holding back when we block sacredness. It shows how powerful we are in terms of what we experience.
Reconnecting to our sacredness is not a process of attainment; it is a process of surrender.
What we offer to ourselves and those around us when we come from our sacredness is super healing on many levels. The world needs sacredness we need to have women claim their in divinity for without them doing that we are all lost.
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity” I had forgotten how exquisite the sacred area of my body can feel when I am connected to it, thank you for a beautiful blog reminding me to come back to connection with my sacredness.
I can totally relate to the discovery of sacredness in our body and then bringing that awareness into our daily work. It brings a steadiness and a stillness that once felt is worth working to hold onto.
If we don’t walk in the power and sacredness of who we are as women we invite all sorts of problems both physical and emotional into our lives.
Learning to stay delicate while doing a physical job is such an inspiration for others. Women tend to feel they have to harden themselves and push themselves to get a job done, but it is so far from the truth. I am learning this daily that if I stay with my body and honour my delicateness and not think I have to be super women then everything just flows and if there are any physical jobs that I know will push me into having to harden my body then all I have to do is ask for support.
I celebrate every day that I am finally coming to understand what it is to truly be a woman, and in doing so slowly letting go of the much lesser woman who I was programmed to be from young. To understand that I am here to reflect my sacredness to others has been a big one to come to understand. It is still a work in progress, but a beautiful work I am absolutely committed to because I now realise how much the world needs this reflection of sacredness to heal the deep hurts of separation it carries.
Thank you Ingrid, it’s a beautiful comment and very inspiring. You’ve reminded me of how much sacredness is needed for this world, and how much there is to appreciate by living connected to it as a woman and reflecting it to others.
‘Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women’. Yesterday evening at an intimate Well-being for Women group in Amsterdam we were talking about the women’s cycle and deepened the connection with our body. To feel the connection to our sacredness when we are together is feeling the power we have as women when we unite and work together.
This is very inspiring. I particularly connect with knowing this is an area I can bring focus to, ‘…my feeling of just being 100% in both my mind and body with what I am doing so as not to get flustered or caught up in what there is to do and the time I have available.’ I find I often get caught up planning what is needed to be done and then the dread and anxiety of can I do it all when I could easily be present in my body and mind and already be doing what’s needed. Life doesn’t have to be the struggle I make it!
Life is definitely not a struggle when we chose to walk our true self in it!
Yes so often we make it a struggle when we lose our connection to our sacredness and what is needed in that moment.
To me sacredness is something that lives within us all (men and women) and the beauty is that when one reconnects with this in themselves they offer a reflection for others to be reminded of the sacredness that they are too.
“I have recently become aware of the feeling of sacredness that all women hold within. I am amazed that we live most, if not all our life, unaware that we carry such power and authority within.” If we knew and understood the power we hold within we would never need to look outside ourselves for conformation of who we are. We would have such a strong sense of what sacredness felt like in the body that we would hold and honour ourselves when life comes in to try to throw us of track.
This feeling indeed brings the sense of endless strength, a sense that nothing on the outside can actually touch us or bring us down. Perhaps that’s why it is attacked and bastardised so strongly, as when each woman (and man) discovers that strength that lies within them the world will definitely be a whole different place.
I agree Viktoria, I can see no other reason that sacredness is attacked so viciously, the point is that when it is a known and lived experience we detach from needing the world to tell us know we are and become far more discerning about what we subscribe to.
I know this feeling of helplessness, of feeling at the world’s mercy and recognising that the world is actually not merciful at all but is in fact very harsh and unrelenting. Knowing therefore how to live with this fact without letting it be overbearing is a practise, a daily rhythm of holding yourself in precious love – as this is beyond doubt what is missing in this world – and from there simply letting the sacredness be.
Yes Shami I have just committed to my daily rhythm with me at the heart of it, previously it was more about doing what needed to be done was my rhythm. But having made the first moments of my day about connecting, walking, bathing, being with me I feel a lot more steady within and light overall.
Learning how to be in our jobs, fully committed to the task at hand while maintaining that connection to our bodies so we don’t lose ourselves in the task takes some practice, but working like this actually revitalises and rejuvenates us. There is a different way to work and be in the world, to be 100% committed and working long hours, while maintaining that connection to the body’s natural sacredness – and through connecting to our body more and more, we eventually find our own way with it.
“All I require is already living within me and the more I connect to and live from this space the more beautiful life becomes for me”. This knowing in your body has the most profound effect on how you feel about yourself and in life. Knowing you are already everything is a game changer, as it stops all the trying, striving and desperate seeking of recognition outside ourselves.
It’s such an illusion we live because we chase after so many things outside of ourselves, yet the sacredness and love that lives inside us is greater than any outer achievement.
Things that make us feel gorgeous and yummy on the inside, including qualities that make us feel ‘in the flow’ and connected to ourselves, should absolutely be made part of our rhythm and routine. Many women may feel sacred and divine in the bath or at the spa, but why not live this in other areas?
This is a great quality to check in on when we feel confused, entrapped or concerned about whether our path in life is the ‘correct’ one, as in are we being true to ourselves and to what is needed. Checking in whether we feel sacred, divine and precious will always give an indication because often on the ‘seemingly-good’ path we are led astray from our body, the space available to love being a woman and our relationship with ourselves.
A very good point Joseph – I tell myself I want it, but if I truly wanted it, wouldn’t I be it right now? Oh, how we allow our spirit to play games with us and trick us into believing that we are less than we actually are, divine, sacred, precious, beautiful, all of those things and much, much more.
Better to know ourselves by our sacredness and natural rhythms as women than to attempt to live by the external expectations and pictures of life and society.
It’s such a shame that considering sacredness is our birth right, it is innately who we are, we have lost touch with it and instead allowed ourselves to succumb to society – yet we ARE society, so why have we allowed this to happen as women I wonder… never too late though and thanks to Universal Medicine many women are returning to their divinity and dropping those pictures which have kept us enmeshed for aeons.
I connecting and being more and more constant aware of all my female organs and body parts. They communicate so loud and clear and show me how much space and connection they need for me to feel as a goddess.
Claiming yourself as a Goddess Monika, is super gorgeous. Talking of female organs and body parts, I have always been one of those women who didn’t talk about things ‘down there’, but thanks to the Sacred Movement modality things are opening up, so to speak, and like you, I have gained more of an awareness and a connection with my pelvic area where the sacredness lies, so before long I will be claiming more of myself as a Goddess too! Actually I am already a Goddess, just feeling a little shy about claiming it…
I agree, Sandra, you are one very beautiful Goddess!
I am participating in Esoteric Yoga 6 week course and the day after the first session I felt for the first time an absoluteness in my body that I never felt before. I can feel it the way I walk and hold my body there is authority now in what I do and how I live and it is so enjoyable to feel.
If all women claimed their power and authority the world would surely rock! The men would fall to their knees and harmony would be restored. I am sure this day this day will come…. so let’s keep rocking Mary!
‘I feel like nothing can touch me, that I am living in a life that is ready for me before I even walk through the door, the joy I feel is explosive and I love connecting to others.’
The ease in what you describe is palpable. Moving in sacredness touches everyone you meet and they cannot but fall in love with you, because they recognize they are this too.
I love your description of connecting to your sacredness and how this connection inspired someone walking past you that’s pretty awesome!
Yes, it sure is pretty awesome indeed Vanessa! I have more of an understanding that we are all living in a sea of energy, therefore everything we do, say and think ripples out to everyone else to feel, and then gets reflected back to us. And what a responsibility this is, knowing that everyone and everything around us feels everything. It is also beautiful to think that we can uplift and inspire someone just by walking down the street in all our gloriousness.
Recently my body has asked me to be much stiller – to stop and feel and appreciate. And when I do – I feel so different – so open and so connected. It has allowed me to see what sacredness is, how powerful it is – and how as women we go into a drive mode to avoid this power.
Oh, you got my attention there HM, my body has been feeling the need to be still lately too, and I love the feeling get pulsing through my body – a marked difference from when I was younger and used to fidget, jiggle, and rock myself to avoid feeling what was going on in my body. Nowadays, there is nothing more lovely than to just sit and bask in the glow of myself!
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity” The awareness of knowing and feeling your own sacredness is divine as you realise an equal sacredness in all women.
Imagine if all the women in this world were connected to their sacredness and divinity you would have one humungous ball of fiery love that would change the world forever. Maybe that is why we have been avoiding it, the power is immense and currently beyond our imagination. Mine at least.
I find it’s super easy to harden my body or go into simply making life about function, but I also find no matter how hard or awkward my body feels it’s never far away from the delicate warmth it naturally is, the choice simply has to be to connect back to my body and to move it in a different way.
That feels lovely Meg ‘my body feels it’s never far away from the delicate warmth it naturally is…’ we’re just a breath away from our divinity and all we have to do is make the choice to breathe ourselves back to it.
Yeh I remember Serge Benhayon once presenting that we’re only ever a breathe away from who we naturally are – it’s always a great reminder when we find ourselves completely out of sorts with no seeming easy way back – that the way we breathe is a gateway back to the truth of everything we know.
Great how you share what you are claiming in life, Also awesome to share you we can do physical work but still care for ourselves and be gentle rather than pushing and harming our body. We are precious and worth treasuring.
It’s not what we do as women but how we are in what we do that’s key, are we connected to ourselves and feeling our bodies as we do any task or are we distracted … there’s a huge difference in how we are in this, and yet the most natural thing we do is to be us and as women that us at it’s core is about sacredness, it’s the innateness of who we are as women and something many of us have forgotten, but it’s there ready and waiting for our re-embrace.
True Elizabeth, the word Sacredness was related to a manmade religion and never to be found in a women’s body. How far away from the truth that it is within ourselves, a precious and powerful connection to the Divine.
I’m realising more and more, that it is only through our connection and then embodiment of the sacredness we all hold within as women, that we can let ourselves be the woman in full – absolutely untouched and untainted by the social imposts that are placed on us.
Because what came first – the social imposts or the disconnection to sacredness by the woman herself? The former is simply a response, a supply to the need and choice made with the latter – because when a woman walks away from the core of who she is, she is empty. In that emptiness we are fed a lie of who we are, what we need, and on it goes.
What a beautiful reminder that we are all sacred and that quality of divinity is always there if we so choose to connect to it.
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women.” I love this; when we feel deeply connected and allow others to feel and see that connection with divinity too it is a gift for the world.
Sacredness, as I have come to understand it through the teachings and presentations of Universal Medicine, is a very basic and normal, no fuss way for a woman or a man to be with their body and thus the universe.
Yes Kelly, the deep connection to our own sacredness invites and inspires all women to express this quality.
It is so powerful when I see a woman living and moving in Sacredness, all women have access to this quality when we connect deeply to ourselves.
The beauty and strength that you describe is very much lacking from the world. We carry that stillness inside us and it can change a room, a relationship, a neighbourhood in an instant. As crazy as it sounds, I agree that we have chosen to be less and to remain ignorant of the power within us.
It is what we avoid as women, and yet what we all hold within our bodies. As a result, there is immense tension and unease because in essence we are living a lie.
When we allow our sacredness to be, when we claim this as who we are, things around us begin to change. We start to see the lies through eyes that will no blink and make it something else. And in that unwavering holding of what the truth is, others cannot but see the lie exposed their eyes also.
Sacredness is divinity expressing through our movement bringing to us heaven on earth.
I know things have changed dramatically as this is how is use to be as well, “I now love living, and working, where as I used to dread each day upon waking.” There was a real dread to Monday and an even bigger one when you came back from holidays. In fact I would avoid going on holidays so I didn’t have to face coming back. It was easier to keep working rather then have time off so then I had to face the ‘coming back’. This was so normalised that I thought this was just how life was, how it was always going to be. Universal Medicine supported this change in lifestyle where now work and holidays are just part of days together, it’s great to have a holiday but also great to go to work, they are pretty much one and the same now as both have equal joy.
I love the title of this blog – that sacredness is available to all women. It’s in our bodies, constantly flowing through us and available at any time. We’ve never lost it or crushed it, but when we’re not connected to it, it can feel like it doesn’t exist or it’s not there. I once would have run a million miles away from being still, constantly in a merry-go-round of distraction, but I’ve come to appreciate that being still is a moment that gives space to connect to my body, and from there to feel to feel even more expanded, steady and sure.
I wonder though if we have crushed it. Our sacredness can never be lost, but it is certainly something we as women have thwarted and buried. The very fact that we do not live the sacredness that we truly are, means that we are abusing our bodies and in fact everyone else as well – for it is our sacredness that everyone needs to feel, to see and be with. It is through the sacredness that we bring that the truth is revealed – amazingly through the sacredness of a woman’s body.
Sacredness always felt like a foreign language to me because I was trying to think of what it was and not truly feeling the loveliness of my movements already. When I connected to this inner stillness and grace of my body I found the movements then spoke volumes for what sacredness was and how my grace and elegance in the way I moved reflected my own unique qualities and that then mirrored sacredness as a whole.
The truth that every woman when in connection with herself is a living, breathing and walking role model every other woman who is ready to re-connect to herself in the same way. This is true beauty and empowerment.
Yes, and seeing others holding themselves in an absolute knowing of who they are, with that strength, clarity and simplicity, is a reflection that can inspire us to choose that for ourselves.
“It is not the speed I work in that is changing but more my feeling of just being 100% in both my mind and body with what I am doing ” How beautiful to feel and what a joy of connecting to our sacredness as women with the all we are. A very inspiring sharing.
Sacredness is a great word, it describes the stillness of a woman as she moves through life as this is the sacred being expressed.
Our innate sacredness is a rhythm which is in the natural flow of all the cycles in life.
“When walking the other day, fully claiming my power and sacredness as a woman, I observed a 10-year-old girl stop dead in her tracks and watch me, then she walked away quite tall and open in her own posture”. This is exactly why we older women need to claim our sacredness, to give other women and girls a role model and permission to claim it for themselves.
The world and everything in it, around it, changes when we are connected to the sacredness within us. If we were to live this sacredness more often than not, the world itself wold change immensely so.
“The connection I have offers so much support to those around me on an energetic level and I am amazed at the expansion I witness in both myself and them.” There is so much we can offer when we are solid in our connection with ourselves and our sacredness. There is a strong feeling of what is needed next, how things are needed to be done and when in a women who is connected to her sacredness.
A woman walking claimed in her sacredness does stop the world in its tracks. Phenomenal!
When we are in our stillness and sacredness as women and move in that divine quality, all of our nadis are on fire and this ignites everyone’s nadis around us. Pretty cool and one absolute gift from heaven that we need to share.
I’ve often heard buildings or objects be referred to as sacred as though it is a quality found only in special places or objects rather than it being innate in each of us… But I would absolutely say that it is a quality we all can re-connect with in our essence, something that is always within us ready to be re-kindled and expressed if we so choose or allow.
What an amazing house cleaner you are! Not only is the benefits of honouring and living from your sacredness evident for you but they are all felt by us all from the person on the street to the client who steps into a home cleaned by you in that quality.
I love the part you describe about the 10 year old girl – it just shows how important how we move and hold ourselves is, what if the way we choose to hold ourselves gives another permission to do the same?
As women we’re so powerful when we connect to our own sacredness, yet we’re not brought up to feel that it’s okay to live this, to be it out in the world. Being sacred doesn’t mean any airy-fairyness, but instead there’s a lived practicality to it: a quality of stillness, a commitment to deep care and respect for ourselves and others, holding everyone as equally sacred beings – not putting up with abuse, but seeing that we are all so much more than our behaviours.
It is amazing that we walk through out lives as women not knowing the power and sacredness that we hold as a hidden treasure within our bodies, we are so very blessed in this day and age to have the truth presented to us so that we can know how to connect to this divine part of our female bodies, and live from its essence.
We inspire so much more than we often allow, and it’s not in a doing but simply in us being our lovely selves, the preciousness and sacredness that we innately are.
“I am amazed that we live most, if not all our life, unaware that we carry such power and authority within” yes it sure is crazy this natural divinity, this natural authority is ours to claim yet so many of us walk around hiding and avoiding our own magnificent love.
Holding sacredness as a known is to not allow ourselves to be abused or be abusive. We hold ourselves with love knowing that there is inside a truth that can not be tainted or broken.
It is very useful to read that you can and are holding this feeling of sacredness while doing your physical job. To know that all women have this power and steadiness within them, and yet we as yet are not claiming it, it is sad to feel the extent of the holding back and the lost potential.
all I require is already living within me. Yes, always have we had that ability to connect to our sacredness and inner power, and we lived totally from this divine essence. Every woman has a knowing deep to their core of their sacredness and just needs to honour and cherish this within their lives bit by bit.
I know this deep connection and movement by how I have disconnected from it. When I do, the feeling is deeply dishonouring to my body. Sacredness is our Divine right.
“all I require is already living within me.” This is such a powerful truth. To embody this truth in all situations in life would be deeply empowering and be a powerful tool to alleviate or dissolve so many personal frustrations, jealousies and grievances.
What we offer to one another through our reflections is huge: we can either inspire, remind and affirm another to be more of who they are, or contribute to anything/everything less than that.
Sacredness is an innate quality that all women hold within, when connected to it is a most exquisite feeling of our womanly- ness, grace and power.
Living from our truth changes how life is experienced; no longer at its or anyone’s mercy but going forth and forever initiating.
I am starting to get more of a glimpse of this within myself- a steadiness and more awareness of my body and how it feels throughout the day. I am learning to not take on so much and learning to read when I need to get involved and when I simply need to observe.
I too have been feeling the joy that comes with living from the love within me. And recently feeling very depressed as an ill condition has arisen. I can see how I have for a very long time chosen to not be joyful and to let things get on top of me, believing that there’s nothing for me to change – a victim of circumstance. But none of this is true and I miss being joyful and waking up loving my life, going to work or spending time with people. Universal Medicine is a huge support when it comes to understanding and letting go of what drags us down and brings us back home to whats within.
This is perfect timing for me to read reminding me to deepen and appreciate my connection within me.
This is a beautiful quality to connect to and yet although innate, as we have not lived this, it is not our norm, so the challenge then becomes learning to function and do what needs to be done in life from an entirely different place and moving in sometimes relatively physical ways but whilst holding the exquisite delicateness that comes with that connection. A forever learning process to then reflect the embodiment of a new norm to the world.
Yes Samantha, I agree. It’s also about not wanting to access something we let go of so long ago that is the most natural thing for us to access – but that we know will turn our world and the world at large on its head. Because sacredness is innate to us as women, we know its power… and for me at least it is about becoming more and more honest and aware of why I very much shy away from simply embracing all this power.
I’ve recently been reflecting on how it this that saddens me as a woman, more than anything else. Not the behaviour of others, the world being lost, but me having chosen to walk away from the sacredness I have always known.
Connecting to our sacredness and offering that as a reflection to the world feels an amazing gift. Yet we ALL have this within. However we are not given this information at home or in school. Why is our amazingness not recognized and honoured? Is there something at play that tries to keep us small and contracted? Time to reclaim our sacredness and no longer play ‘less than’ in order to appease others.
Sacredness – the truth available to all women and therefore all men!
The words sacredness and women have been together for a very long time throughout our history, and although there have been pockets of life where their true meaning and relationship with eachother have been very clear, they have for a great part of our lives been a mish-mash of confused dialogs that can actually lead a woman away from her divinity. Re-establishing what sacredness is, is therefore a very important responsibility we have as women, and a part of this is perhaps in the re-claiming of it as a word that relates directly to a quality within our bodies and as such we have the power to use that word in its truest way.
It is lovely to be reminded of the Sacredness within us all!
It would be fantastic to know how to get away from the psychological dependency on depression, giving people a choice not to be depressed that would work either with or without pharmacological assistance.
Sacredness is a true confirmation of our living way and it is a connection to our true purpose which is to then express and move from our unique expressions in full appreciation of the quality this holds. I find alot of my movements then have a real clarity and depth even a feeling of ceremony too.
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with. It can be her guiding light throughout life if she so chooses.” Beautiful to claim and share for all women and a real joy to feel within knowing the quality we all are and learning to claim and live this for ourselves and others naturally from this.
‘It can be her guiding light throughout life if she so chooses.’ When every woman will choose this quality to be her guiding light, the men will follow to live from their sacredness and we can evolve together. We as women hold the responsibility to connect to our sacredness and live it in the world and I ask myself why am I not going there.
Thank you for sharing how in making sacredness your guiding light this has transformed your whole life and also the tangible impact you have on others. What an awesome role model for the girl who then chose to walk tall in her own claiming. Being part of a Sacred Movement group has supported me to connect with myself as a woman and the wisdom of sacredness that we all carry within us and this feeds through into the rest of my life in ever unfolding ways that deepen the quality of all that I am and bring.
Sacredness is held within the body by both men and women, but it is the sacredness of the woman that truly make the changes. I am just touching on my sacredness in my 60’s and what this really means. Having just done Sacred Movement where there were both men and women in the session and being asked to face the men, it was pointed out to us women how much we hold back our sacredness even when we think we are connecting to it. When this was exposed I could feel how I was not truly connecting to my movements or the men in front of me and how much this was felt by the men. It was a great learning that when we hold back our sacredness we are denying not only who we truly are, our divinity and our fragility, but the opportunity for men and women to connect to this too.
I too found it almost mind blowing, that deep within us is a sacredness that is constant, divine and powerful in its stillness in motion, and it has never gone away. We all have the abiltiy to connect to that sacredness that is and has always been there, but so often we ‘think’ we have to do something to activate it. The simple fact is that to be truly sacred, all we have to do is first connect to what is already there, and then ensure every movement we make comes from that place of deep connection.
I had never felt delicate, fragile, tender were words that applied to me until I came across Serge Benhayon, Natalie Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Now that my awareness and observations have been more finely tuned, these beautiful qualities are becoming a natural and integrated truth.
“When walking the other day, fully claiming my power and sacredness as a woman, I observed a 10 year old girl stop dead in her tracks and watch me, then she walked away quite tall and open in her own posture.” Yes this is what life is truly about. Inspiring each other to be all that they are by doing it yourself. I feel something resistance to this power in myself but I am reminded by reading this that it is not a hard job but bring so much joy when we do it.
‘I am learning how to function with such a delicate feeling.’ I too am learning this and feeling my power when I do. Such a contrast to the days where I thought power was to do with hardening and pushing through.
Sacredness is innately within us as girls and women and is there are support, inspiration and for guidance. It is part and parcel of who we are. The more I reconnect to this, like you, the more I am astounded by how much has been there all this time yet I have valued so many other things above this one.
Sacredness is a joyful expression and rhythm of all women and is felt from our movements and touch that nurtures not only us but all others too. When we move from this power it is felt by all and offers a reflection that personifies true sexiness.
There is nothing like the clarity and beauty of being deeply connected to our body and our essence, appreciating the light and love of God that flows through us.
When we reconnect to our sacredness and walk it, we make it safe for other women to do the same also. There is great power in our reflection when we live the truth of who we are.
This is so awesome ‘When walking the other day, fully claiming my power and sacredness as a woman, I observed a 10 year old girl stop dead in her tracks and watch me, then she walked away quite tall and open in her own posture.’ And just goes to show how without even saying anything and just by being and going about our day with an awareness of all that we are to the best of our ability how this then reflects and supports another to do the same for themselves.
I am enjoying a deepened and renewed connection with sacredness and grace, I can feel how gentle it is to be with these feelings and expressions, there is less push, drive and need to react to things that I do not think are loving or caring. I hold myself and others in a grace that feels spacious and warm….I continue to explore this it is rich and so sacred, with out words religious and divine.
A woman’s body and the way she walks is a reflection of her relationship with love and truth.
This is so true and also explains why in my past I despised the way I walked. This may seem a funny thing to loath about yourself but if I ever caught my reflection, I could see I had a crooked gait and it just confirmed how self-conscious and insecure I felt in the world at the time. From where I stand now, and knowing in full the truth that I walk and my place in the world, I can now see that my crooked gait of the past was simply a sign that my expression of truth was a bit wobbly. If I had heeded this message then and not used it as an excuse to self-wallow in ‘the misery of it all’, I would have not wasted so much time getting back up on my feet!
The only thing standing between us and our connection to this sacredness that we all have, is ourselves, and the day to day, moment to moment choices that we make.
In dismissing our own worth in our inner sacredness we reject our own innate femaleness and look for other ways to be in the world. None of them are true and the harm that they do on our bodies must be undone to return to the tenderness and preciousness we are.
There is such a difference between connecting and living from the power of our sacredness versus forcing or imposing ourselves on others.
There is such true power in our own sacredness, it is only needed to be connected with and expressed in full.
The essence of every woman is deeply sacred and absolute confirmation that we are from heaven.
I just love hearing and feeling the word sacredness in my body. It feels like a daily celebratory ceremony and choice to bring our full essence as women in all facets of our lives. All words hold a quality and when I hear the word sacredness I think of richness and the full body expression that lives within all women.
I love your sharing of the 10 year old girl claiming herself as a woman. What a great confirmation of your reflection as a woman. It is so beautifully simple.
As I slowly recover from minor surgery I can feel that my body is now calling out for more gentle movement and expansion. This evening as I went for a walk I could feel the grace and harmony of my body when I walked with me feeling my feet as they move over the pavement and the flow that occurs as my whole body responds to the natural flow and movement. When we can feel how interconnected every part of our body is we know that we are connected to something far greater and grander that is the rhythm and vibration of the Universe.
I agree completely that when connected to our essence and sacredness is like nothing else and very powerful.
Just the word sacredness asks me to consider a much grander, universal order that I am part of.
As is sacredness a connection, it is all available to us as women. Not outside us, but inside us, knowing the love inside us, we will know who we are, and when from this connection will be lived, all our womanhood will be back again. As in connection there is no space for separation.
I am a very new student when it comes to feeling and understanding my sacredness. However, I am slowly learning that it is possible to not ‘get flustered or caught up in what there is to do and the time I have available’ and this feels so much more expansive than when I was always squeezing everything to try and do more – and more, so that I could feel ‘better’ about myself. Sacredness feels like us allowing our essence to speak for us rather than all that we feel we have achieved. How crazy that we lost our connection to what innately is us holding ourselves as women in the world.
When you surrender and connect to your sacredness as a woman, you can feel the responsibility that comes with connecting to it in all that you do, and have a knowing of it’s true worth and purpose.
What you have shared in the example of the 10 year old girl as to how she responded to not only what she saw on the outside, but what she would have felt from within you is such a timely reminder to all women of the beauty, grace and power that we can bring to the world. A reflection like the one she received from you offers so many opportunities for those around us to know that here is another way to live, a way in which we deeply honour who we are and the wisdom that we all hold within; a wisdom that is naturally within us all.
What I am beginning to realise is that sacredness is not something that is reserved for special people or special moments – it’s something that we can all claim as women as we go about our life, doing whatever we may do – we do not need to be in a special place to connect to our sacredness as it is there waiting for us to awaken to it in any moment. It is particularly beautiful when we share our sacredness with another as it allows us to feel just how delicate and fragile we all are – and as we share this innermost feeling we can feel the expansiveness that reverberates out into the world.
Sacredness, I feel that it is a pure, untainted essence that knows God and the depth of our light and love. It is timeless. Sacredness is there for all of us, it is a word I knew and felt related to women, but had not allowed myself to feel the quality of it within me. I now honour this more deeply, it offers infinite depth of stillness, love, wisdom and connection with God that I exploring and now know it to be within all of us.
When we truly honour ourselves life changes … it is no longer about all the doing, but about being who we naturally and innately are, living from our very essence within.
It is a delight to read the truth about our womenhood. That is something very truly special. When we feel into our origin, our love, we can instantly feel that this is sacred, and that we all have access to it, once we are ready to take that step again. To simply come back to what we know all along. No secrets, simply sacredness.
The more we choose to connect with this feeling inside the deeper and stronger the connection will become, and the easier it will become to choose, and connect with.
“I have recently become aware of the feeling of sacredness that all women hold within. I am amazed that we live most, if not all our life, unaware that we carry such power and authority within.” It’s true, we just have no idea of the potential and power that’s inside us, it’s like we struggle through life with all our daily problems when we are secretly actually have superpowers.
The times that I have felt and been in my own sacredness, have been amazing and truly powerful. My whole body feels alive, vital and full of joy. How hard does my body have to work then when I am not choosing to be this, as I can feel I am going against the natural rhythm of my body when I’m out of it and I can’t then be a true reflection of a woman for others, and basically holding them back. Ouch.
Every time I feel depressed or not myself, there is some part of myself that has been held back. The truth is as a woman there is so much we can offer in reflection, and we just have to be ourselves. It sounds simple and what makes it not so simple is all the pictures and ideals we have held onto that tells us to be someone we are not. Recognizing them and returning to what is true is an empowering and forever deepening process. Why go through this process? With no other reason being there is always a feeling of insufficiency and tension when we pretend to live in a way which our body knows is a lie.
When I feel into sacredness, there is a beauty, grace, and absolute holding that seems to say, you are this, feel this love that you are.
What I love is that sacredness or anything else we naturally are for that matter, joy, love, truth, playfulness is not for ourselves – it for other people – to reflect to other people, without trying, how we all can and naturally live – just by being ourselves, in how we walk in a room or through a school for example.
There is nothing more delicious than feeling at ease within my own body and being, but it seems like everything in this world is geared to take us away from it and so it is something I need to chose to connect with again each day. The good thing is the more I make that choice the easier it becomes.
It’s so amazing to know that deep inside we all have a sacredness to connect to.
Depression is a great marker from how much we have walked away from who we are. Thank you for sharing what is possible – and that women are able to feel their own power – and that it is possible to live from a stillness rather than an anxiousness in our bodies. The world around us demands everything fast passed and instantly, but to come back to the stillness of a woman shows us that the quality in how we are is more important than the time we do things in.
What came to me today reading this blog is how much religion prevented me from feeling Sacred as a woman. I didn’t grow up attending church or with a particularly religious family yet the message from Christian religion (and other religions) got through very strongly that there was something less about women and in particularly their bodies. How completely untrue this is, and what an unhealthy concept. The sacredness I feel in my body daily has debunked all of these degrading type beliefs and inequalities that come from religion. It’s interesting that my body knows more than what my mind can be taught. The truth is always present in my body and it’s sacredness and power is beyond anything that a belief can communicate.
I did not ever really connect to what it meant to be a woman, now I have many amazing role models in myself, who when I observe or think about, I can feel these same qualities in myself and it inspires me to bring these out more.
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with.” Rediscovering the delicacy and power of my innate sacredness brings an appreciation of the woman I am.
Spot on Jennifer. The levels of sacredness on offer are not measured, as it is pure and simple and resides in us all. True to the core.
I find it interesting that I am not sure what sacredness is – one definition I heard was that it is being multidimensional. Multidimensionality I know, at least in part. I wonder if there is an additional element with sacredness?
I’m not entirely sure what sacredness truly is either Christoph, come to mention it I’m now sure what multidimensionality feels like either, or am I avoiding connecting to it to avoid the responsibility of what I could bring to the world as a true woman in her full power. Nevertheless, we all carry sacredness within us, and I suppose it is the case that when we connect to it, we will know what it truly feels like for ourselves, and then go ah ha, I recognise that feeling from along ago, I just choose to bury it and then forget that we buried it!
Sacredness is for sure, a divine essence that lives within all women, and the power of a woman in her sacredness is immense and life changing, absolutely.
Bring back sacredness – it’s the key to changing the world. As women we hold evolution in our bodies – for all.
So true, it’s easy to think of sacredness as just there in special moments, but it’s there ever present and ready and with us in every moment and in every thing that we do.
Our connection to our cycles and our bodies as women is vital, without it we are at the mercy of the whole of the world around us, but with it we are connected to the most sacred, incredible, gorgeous woman that we are non-stop.
Great point Danna. Every way that we live which is not in respect to our divine sacredness is what is not normal.
I agree Danna – living from Sacredness IS normal. It’s the objectification, use and abuse of the womanly image that is not normal as it disgraces and distracts from the fact that every woman on earth has the ability to connect and live from their Sacredness.
Women’s bodies have been objectified and used in society to promote sexism and all other sorts of marketing campaigns. It’s no wonder we have blocks around or feel guilty about enjoying our own bodies and the connection to our sacredness, because we are told the opposite. There are still beliefs now that say women are dirty or impure for having a period! The more women who connect and live from the Joy of their connection within, the more the reflection will be on offer.
Yes, it is quite surprising how accurate the feedback from our body is, with, from what I have seen, much more detailed feedback from women’s bodies than from male bodies, yet much of what we do numbs this source of feedback.
When we begin to identify with our quality rather than our deeds, our relationships naturally, as a side effect, begin to blossom.
When I first heard about sacredness, I didn’t have a clue what it meant, but what you have described here has made it very simple. “What we offer to ourselves and those around us, simply by connecting to this sacredness, is a beauty and strength that is lacking in the world, yet it is living inside us just waiting to be connected to and then expressed from.” One way that I have learned to connect to that sacredness is to surrender, surrender to that beauty and strength within, so that we can bring that to the world.
It’s amazing how easy it is to connect to our sacredness, and at the same time it makes absolute sense, because it is the essence of who we are. But it’s the acceptance and embodiment of our sacredness that is the stickler because we know deep within that if we are to embody the sacredness within and bring this to all our relationships, everything would change.
Very true Katerina. Sacredness asks us to consider everything at once and the truth of our interconnectedness. So any relationship that doesn’t hold ourselves and all others as sacred will go through a transformation.
I don’t and haven’t lived from sacredness for a very long time, but I do know it and know it’s inside me, not something I have to go get. It’s about loving my body 100 million and ten %, like nothing else on earth and not holding back how cheeky, beautiful, sexy, powerful, loving, fragile, delicate, all knowing and deeply caring I am. That this is the only way and place I will and can feel the fact I come from heaven and the abundance of light that can come through me. And that I have a responsibility for everyone, women and men in living sacredness. It’s a huge responsibility when we see how much women not living in sacredness affects this world. We are basically saying yes to all the abuse on every level, of women by not living this. At the moment these are mainly words, something I am yet to live but am working on.
‘I now love living, and working, where as I used to dread each day upon waking’. It seems a bit nuts that we have this gorgeous and delicious quality inside and yet reject it very early on so that we can start most days in reaction to them. Learning that we are of worth not just because of who we are as people but because of the innate gorgeousness that we hold as women is so important to connect to.
“I have recently become aware of the feeling of sacredness that all women hold within. I am amazed that we live most, if not all our life, unaware that we carry such power and authority within.” I also find this incredible that we are all so powerful and yet are oblivious to the fact, it is awesome to read your reconnection to the sacredness we all hold. Very inspiring.
Yes, Sally I agree – just hearing those words connects me to that part of myself where I can accept the whole of me – and not just the parts that are ‘perfect’. So often I can discount the moments that flow because there have been many interruptions and this is just my spirit interfering with my innate connection to my essence.
Yes to ‘out’ perfection is most necessary if we are to be with ourselves in full.
How beautifully and simply you approach this subject – it all made such sense and allows us all to connect to that within which is sacred and deeply honouring of our womanhood. A beautiful moment to take forward into the day.
A while back during a sacred movement group session, I got to feel the difference between stillness and sacredness. There was a group of 4 of us and we did sacred movement as a group and by the end of the movements, we all felt and saw each other from a whole other dimension, another facet of ourselves emerged. This felt absolutely solid to the core and there was nothing between us except absolute love, and you could feel how this essence is for everyone and never to be held for just ourselves. I felt so complete and whole, it was truly amazing.
Julie, I can relate to this experience. To feel and see someone in their essence is exquisite. And to feel all the different expressions that come through when we surrender to our sacredness is truly beautiful.
Several years ago I had no idea about the sacredness of a woman, and certainly didn’t know it is within me and has been within me since forever, and is also equally within every other woman on the planet. Imagine if every woman were to connect to their sacredness, and live that daily?
The more aware I am of my sacredness the more quickly I’m aware of feeling scared out of it. There fore I have a choice to connect back and the difference this feels in my body is so simple yet lovely, tender, clear and so worth appreciating the choice.
“What we offer to ourselves and those around us, simply by connecting to this sacredness, is a beauty and strength that is lacking in the world, yet it is living inside us just waiting to be connected to and then expressed from.” When I first heard the word sacredness it felt foreign to me, like something mystical and unobtainable. I now feel sacredness to be our divine rhythm and connection to God from within.
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women” I did not understand or even know what sacredness really meant for a women, least of all myself. I am only just beginning to understand it more and understand what that feels like in my body.
We are all blessed whenever anyone moves or expresses in true connection. This applies to men just as it does to women as I regularly observe that power and grace in my husband.
It is beautiful when we are able to do any job that is asked of us takeing ourselves in our fullness to whatever is needed and still be tender and loving with ourselves as we go about our work.
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with. It can be her guiding light throughout life if she so chooses.” this is so beautiful, i am becoming to be more aware of my sacredness and connecting to this how supportive and powerful it is.
‘It is not the speed I work in that is changing but more my feeling of just being 100% in both my mind and body with what I am doing so as not to get flustered or caught up in what there is to do and the time I have available.’ What a great summary – and tip! – for how to ‘do work’ without it doing us, so to speak. Aligning the activity of one’s mind 100% with one’s body is the key to being in the harmony and flow of life. It’s when we are working in opposition to ourselves that we struggle. How wonderful our sacredness can deliver all this and more.
We can describe and detail the activity of sacredness and it is great to read, but that which is sacred in truth is beyond words. When I ponder the word, it always comes to a depth of connection that is more about a relationship with God, with life and with people than is it a definition. I appreciate blogs like these which add to that sense of wonderment about who we truly are and the purpose of bringing that depth into daily life.
I was attending a Sacred Movement class a few months ago, and the presenter, Natalie Benhayon explained how, as women, we have a continuous, horizontal figure of eight movement happening in our cervix that never stops, we simply have to re- connect to it in order to connect to our sacredness. This was a revelation to me, as I had previously thought that it was by initiating the figure of eight movement was what connected us to our sacredness. Knowing that this is going on inside me 24/7 has meant that I now simply have to remember that, and as soon as I do I feel my connection to the Divine. It is a journey of self discovery and awareness as I develop this connection within myself, but the more I do it, the more I feel my inner strength and power, and am able to accept more fully my own beauty, and the abundance of wisdom that I have to share with the world.
For me there was absolutely no joy in being a woman as I grew up, it’s easy for me to sometimes slip back into this, but the majority of the time thanks to everything I’ve learnt from Esoteric Women’s Health most days I wake up looking forward to exploring the relationship I have with myself deeper, it really is a super cool way to live.
I can relate to that Meg, not only did I not enjoy being a woman I had very little relationship with myself as a woman, everything was about getting things done or working hard but none of it was done in connection with myself as a woman.
It’s crazy how we accept this as normal in the world, I think most women would say exactly the same. But by accepting these non-relationships with ourselves as women we are missing out on something magnificent.
Absolutely – the sacredness of women is an age old quality deeply known to the core of us all – men and woman alike.
It is the forever growing harmony and space within our body which deepens what is loveliness to be felt, and it is this loveliness that we can carry with us everywhere we go in whatever task we face, this is our true support, our sacredness.
Its all available to us all a sacredness that is inner-divine, pure Godly, and absolute Gold. Let’s go for it ladies, let’s connect to our inner divine and express our ways. From inner sacredness we know our true worth of who we are.
I love you what you say about sacredness being a innate knowing and rhythm that lives within us. To know there is a rhythm our bodies innately adhere to, to me is very supportive although I choose to not always be aware of it I feel when I read your words it is true, there is a rhythm in the universe and we are an equal part of this as is ebb and flood. My body knows and I have only to follow and be present, so simple and so much to appreciate we are never alone.
There is no feeling more amazing for me presently than to be with the body in our every move, it is simply so amazing. Because of what is felt, I commit to bringing this feeling of communion with me to my every day, to every situation. When I do not feel this communion, I simply find a way to come back to it, just because of how amazing it feels, I am not perfect and do not have this all the time, but because it feels so amazing, I would never want to lose it and thereby take the responsibility to come back to it.
Wow wow wow! Well I can’t imagine how amazing the places you clean must feel with that commitment to yourself and to life. You’re cleaning or clearing more than the physical. It’s almost crazy how we go to such lengths to seek out a connection without realising how simple (not to mention fun, amazing, beautiful, joyful, tender, special) it is to connect to ourselves.
I agree Nick, we do go to crazy lengths for outer recognition, goals, accolades etc, when all along the sacred pot of gold, much greater than anything the outer world could offer, is sitting right there inside us.
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with. It can be her guiding light throughout life if she so chooses.” A very beautiful article sharing the wisdom and joy of being a true women and the simplicity and power of living this divinity.
If we are connected with that sacred place deep within, we live in sync with the universe and so this becomes our reality: “….that I am living in a life that is ready for me before I even walk through the door….”.
Choosing that constantly though is another thing as we so often sabotage this as there is not much we can identify ourselves with in that kind of life, no drama, no complications or individualism just simple, joyful interconnectedness.
The more I connect to my body the more I become aware of an inner warmth that is constantly there even when I am giving myself a hard time for having not chosen to be aware of this sacredness in every moment of the day. But the world doesn’t honour this sacredness and we have been taught to rely on others to base ourselves and our worth upon. This not only highlights for me the set-up we live within but the responsibility on my part to not rely on anything outside of my body or my feelings to confirm who I am or from where I should make choices about life from. What I can feel from within this connection to myself has led me down far richer paths in life than following anything outside that looks or sounds appealing or good. Often the ideals and beliefs of how I should be living come with a strive and an effort to achieve whereas accepting what is within is effortless but does require a large dose of willingness to be humble. And these steps I have made have also affected the lives of others, which again shows me that there is a responsibility on my part to walk in line with this sacredness for others will follow too.
A beautifully wise comment Leigh, and describes the process I am in currently to keep choosing and living from my inner connection, and not try to gain something from the outer world – even as I struggle towards these outer goals I am constantly reminded of their true emptiness because of the tension and angst in my body. It’s such an illusion when I leave myself for some pictured oasis, only to find the journey and destination to the dangling carrot is a complete mirage compared to the sacredness and solidness of my inner quality.
A women showing her power and grace is infectious no wonder the 10 year old girl took inspiration.
Once we have experienced the feeling of sacredness within it can be perplexing to understand why ‘we live most, if not all our life, unaware that we carry such power and authority within’. This is a connection that I am nurturing and the more connection I experience with myself and in connecting with others, the more natural and innate this feeling becomes. It seems to touch a part within that is so delicate and precious and on feeling this I cannot do anything else but want to expand and deepen what I feel. It feels like an amazing pulse of love and expansion that becomes more real the more I honour it.
As I connect more to my pelvic floor and experience all the support, and until recently unfelt intimacy of a true relationship with my body, I was not able to connect to the essence of the woman I am. ‘The grace I feel within when I am aware of this connection is like nothing I have experienced before’ – it feels as though I have at last found the key that unlocks the wisdom that we as women hold within our body. It is so beautiful and so simple to feel the deep and sustainable steadiness that this connection brings as I learn to trust my body – and let go of controlling.
‘Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with. It can be her guiding light throughout life if she so chooses.’ And this is our true power we have in ourselves whether we connect to it or not, it is waiting for us to be this guiding light.
I am becoming increasingly aware that living from our Sacredness is the call that is there for all women to respond to if they so choose. Our holding back or resisting from this affects everyone, women and men alike from a very deep healing of a very old wound that has been festering away and hardening us all from the tenderness, delicateness, preciousness and sensitivity we all have innately within.
I am choosing to connect more and more with my sacredness, ‘What we offer to ourselves and those around us, simply by connecting to this sacredness, is a beauty and strength that is lacking in the world’.
The true power a woman living from her sacredness carries a quality and an emanation that is recognised. It is our very nature.
Connecting to my sacredness through pelvic floor exercise and sacred movement I feel whole, womanly, beautiful, delicious and oh so joyful.
There is such an opportunity for humanity to develop a true relationship with their bodies. We miss a trick here when we don’t want to see this – and as a result, one only has to look around at the physical state of bodies at the moment to see that something is missing. A relationship with our bodies allows us to appreciate others as well – it is a very supportive cycle. And as I have experienced, our bodies are full of wisdom – they offer us a reflection of our actions and hold us completely to account.
Our sacredness as women is the gold the world is waiting for.
I love how there is sacredness is in everything we do, moving with the universal all.
What is beautiful for me is that when I connect with my sacredness I detach from all issues I have with lack of selfworth. This is like not there anymore and There comes a knowing in my body how wonderful I am.
Sacredness was something I thought was outside of yourself or you needed to be a nun or priest to feel sacred. I am very appreciative of Natalie Benhayon who first taught that sacredness lies within every woman, and when connected to this area -within the cervix, a deep connection to what it means to be a woman, can be felt.
“I get to enjoy my body on a whole new level. I enjoy the sensations I feel within my body and the harmony and space that is forever growing and getting stronger.” Deepening the connection with ourselves is connecting to an endless source of love and appreciation that holds everything and reminds us of the fact that we are all part of a whole and that individuality takes us away from this harmony and space.
“The grace I feel within when I am aware of this connection is like nothing I have experienced before. I feel like nothing can touch me, that I am living in a life that is ready for me before I even walk through the door, . . .” Such a great confirmation to take into my day. The grace that is there when I’m connected feels really significant, to reflect this no mater what environment I’m in. Confirming that I am supported in life and this is reflected back each step I take.
Yes, when we are coming from our sacredness, people do notice and it makes them smile from the inside out, as they too can feel that amazing that they are seeing, within them.
How beautiful it is that we can acknowledge and accept the affect that we have on another. With this awareness brings a responsibility, a responsibility to reflect to others that they have this sacredness in them too, even though it may be deeply buried, nevertheless it is there. Today I am feeling beautiful, and I know that this is because I have been making consistent choices to appreciate myself more and the reflections around me, and reading your article again has confirmed the truth of who we are too, thank-you.
It is constantly inspiring to sit with this and really feel it “…through attending Universal Medicine presentations and the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom I have come to rediscover that all I require is already living within me…” I am enough, it is all within me…there was a time when I looked out constantly for acknowledgement, to understand life and now I do this so much less. I know the way, it is within, no need to look out side, but rather express what is rediscovered from within and walk and talk it…
When I have been expressing myself and walk with an everyday knowing of of my sacredness and divinity, I see a reflection in all I meet, children and babies often turn their head and we exchange a tender look with one another, they know, they feel it. There is no imposition, but a confirmation that we are all equally divine. Sacredness is within us all.
It is living inside us and I know it for myself, within me…”What we offer to ourselves and those around us, simply by connecting to this sacredness, is a beauty and strength that is lacking in the world, yet it is living inside us just waiting to be connected to and then expressed from.” It supports me deeply and it is where I express from more consistently than ever before. It is steady, strong and full of light and grace and it says no to abuse with love. Sacredness is our natural way as women.
I am challenged at times to hold my sacredness in all that i am doing through the day. When I do connect to it I feel the beauty in others and this is divine for both of us. When I stop appreciating me I lose my sacred connection but I know it is there waiting to be re-connected to.
What does sacredness truly feel like? I have spent months doing the sacred movement, exercising my pelvic floor (gently), connecting to my ovaries, my cervix and breasts and still I am not sure what it is I am supposed to feel. Could it be the womanly quality, the sexiness, the delicateness of my fingertips, the warm and fullness I sometimes feel in my breasts and the tingling in the base of spine? Not sure, but what I do know for sure is that the sacredness IS inside of me, it is who I am and with my consistency and commitment I will have no doubt as to what sacredness feels like 🙂
The most wonderful thing is that this is a truth available to all women and we can acknowledge this in every woman we meet. Nothing needs to be said but this feeling is definitely felt. How beautiful it is to be able to inspire by just claiming what is true about being a woman.
Connecting to our sacredness as women is indeed super powerful. It stops both men and women in their tracks, which is perhaps why we choose to dishonour it because we are not wanting the attention that it will bring.
It’s becoming clearer and clearer to me that the only thing that is between our connectedness to our innate sacredness is our awareness and our choice to connect. No other imposition can prevent this absolutely divine innate truth that we are actually this unless we allow it. This is true for every women and girl on the planet, no exceptions we are all born equally sacred.
When I am connected to my truth, my sacredness I feel content which I never do when I choose to compare in other words, look outside of myself to find truth. And being content with myself is a very lovely appreciative way of living.
‘The grace I feel within when I am aware of this connection is like nothing I have experienced before.’ I love how you connect grace with sacredness. Grace is a word I feel has so much in it that I am still feeling into what grace truly is. I can feel it but have not yet words for it to describe grace in my (dutch) language but coming closer.
For most of my life I avoided feeling and connecting with the sacredness of my femaleness to the point of being shut down hard and detached from my essence leaving me driven and very male. Since re-connecting with my inner heart the core of who I truly am I can feel the strength of power and authority within the essence and naturally express and reflect this to the world.
“I get to enjoy my body on a whole new level.” How often do we say we get to enjoy our body, usually we look at our body as an encumbrance and a restriction or from a point of criticism rather than enjoying our body and bringing this to the world.
“When walking the other day, fully claiming my power and sacredness as a woman, I observed a 10 year old girl stop dead in her tracks and watch me, then she walked away quite tall and open in her own posture.” This is just beautiful just as we claim our selves and walk in the power we inspire others.
“When walking the other day, fully claiming my power and sacredness as a woman, I observed a 10 year old girl stop dead in her tracks and watch me, then she walked away quite tall and open in her own posture.”
It is amazing how inspiration does not need any words or instructions but works by reflection – this example shows how we respond to energy whether we know anything about it or not.
it is a shame, that women are raised in a way that keeps them completely oblivious to what they are able to connect to within themselves.
Natalie Benhayon has really brought depth back to women. Before finding Esoteric Women’s Health not only did I not really feel like a woman, but what I did feel inside myself felt narrow and one dimensional. I have also reconnected to my sacredness (and to my whole body) and I feel like that sacredness is a never ending depth I have only begun to tap into. It’s amazing feeling how much a woman truly is, and the depths available for us to reconnect to and live from.
I have experienced the feeling of walking in my sacredness and it was amazing. It is not something I can hold for long at the moment but I know what it feels like and i know that it is possible for me to feel this again when I am truly appreciation and valuing me.
As I build an acceptance and awareness of the sacredness that is within me, I look at other women with an ever deepening respect. This I can feel is an ongoing process that will counter all the comparison and jealousy that has been rife in my relationships with my female friends, relations and all the women I have met.
And that a lot of inspiration is shared without words but by simply ‘walking our talk’.
It is incredibly supportive and inspiring to talk/write about this quality of sacredness that all women have. Just to consider it as a possibility opens up a whole new level of care and respect for ourselves and each other.
Yesterday I was part of a group who where discussing the connection to our sacredness. Included where some specific movements to support this connection. The exquisite delicateness I could feel doing the movements was just heavenly, feeling that we are all this precious with-in. Also the depth of beauty as we shared connection with another as we looked into their eyes and allowed our hearts to open could be felt through the room. Appreciating the simplicity of holding ourselves in full while also embracing another’s fullness equally.
“I feel like nothing can touch me, that I am living in a life that is ready for me before I even walk through the door, the joy I feel is explosive and I love connecting to others.”
Our future, past and present lived and expressed in celebration of all we are here to bring.
As living by this innate authority and power becomes more of our everyday normal it exposes the many pictures that we have held ourselves ransom to, pictures for which we have overridden the grandness of our innate knowing.
Indeed this is a brilliantly accessible blog that shares the wealth of support sacredness can deliver and how it can be accessed in any moment, simply through a choice.
Everything outside of ourselves tells us we need to go somewhere, be something, push and drive to get what we want – yet the absolute beauty of our sacredness is that it asks the very antithesis of this – to surrender and allow what is already there.
Grace has always been a bit of an enigma for me, the girl that grew up as a tom boy, played sports, wearing trousers and shunning all things girly – slowly but surely overriding my naturally sweet expression. Today however with connection to my sacredness, I have discovered what grace actually feels like, its in the way i hold my body, with stillness and authority, the way I move my body feeds me back, it confirms me like nothing outside of me ever has.
I have been reconnecting to my sacredness as well and the most important thing I am discvering is that it is all already there, like a nuclear centre within us that is waiting for us to open the door and let it shine to the world. Knowing this makes the choice of reconnecting a surrender rather to a doing.
I find it amazing to hear how other people can feel how we are living and adjust their posture as a result. It shows the importance of understanding the energy we live in and with, and how it affects others.
and in writing the comment above I realise that even though I know this to my core I still am tempted to look outside of myself, or to put a picture or an expectation on what it should look or feel like, and in this way actually getting in the way of it coming into expression. It is a great reminder of the power of surrender and appreciating what we dis-cover along the way.
That’s just it: all we need and so much more is already living inside us. We cannot ever lose it but we can turn away from and pretend it is not there, losing the connection to it. It is this simple and it is the answer to all of life’s woe’s.
I am also becoming familiar with sacredness within me, I cant claim to be holding it strongly in my working day, but slowly its emerging as a feeling i can connect to and enjoy. I look forward to this becoming stronger in my life.
When we choose to re-connect with our inner heart we feel all that is not truly us, the baggage and pictures of how we think life should play out our connection with our innermost offers us a choice to let this bagged go as it is not truly who we are and drives us to strive to create and identify by pictures we have in our head. Taking responsibility and choosing to surrender and discard all that is not from your inner heard allows us to reconnect with the sacredness of the truth we innately are.
I love the confirmation in the 10 year old girl making the changes as to how she walked. This indeed is something so gorgeous to appreciate and it makes me stop and ask myself if I give myself the level of appreciation I so deserve in moments throughout my day.
We do not need to control, preach or tell another what to do. It is through our connection to the sacredness within that makes a difference and inspires. I am feeling this truth more and more as I let go of the need to control. It is so freeing and nurturing.
This is such a delightful awareness and feeling the expansive potential that is with it is an absolute joy: “ that I am living in a life that is ready for me before I even walk through the door”. Choosing to live everyday with this feeling and knowing that we are connected to ourselves deeply and no external activity can shake this is truly claiming living in our power.
Sacredness is our connection – how deeply we are willing to feel it and honour it first and foremost. What a great blog to share the support sacredness can deliver and how we can access it at any point in time, it is simply our choice.
Sacredness can be felt through our connection to ourselves, and God. Through this connection we create space, and time is no longer our enemy. There’s a lot to be said for connection!
The moment that it was presented to me that the sacredness I hold naturally within me is not just for me but for all, was one of those life defining moments when you know that nothing will ever be the same again. It was the deep knowing that I have a responsibility to connect to this sacredness, but that this responsibility does not come with a heavy weight as in the past, but with a joy, that now makes it a most natural part of the way I live.
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with. It can be her guiding light throughout life if she so chooses.” This is so beautifull and confirming to live with and know and something that is not taught to us as children and women . Through Universal Medicine , The Benhayon Family and many other women now this is bringing an inspiration and sacredness to us all.
It is beautiful to read how you have brought this connection to your sacredness as a woman to the quality of how you move through life
Such power and grace to be shared by walking the fullness of our sacredness as women.
And to know it is present in every woman we meet.
‘Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women’ – in a beautiful honouring article this quote can stand alone as the billboard that stops all women in their tracks to say ‘I am this and I do not hold it for me but for everyone’. Sacredness is the beholding quality of women.
Since doing Sacred movement sessions, it really highlights how powerful women are in their sacredness, and how when we connect and move within this divine stillness, everything changes and starts coming into alignment with divine rhythm.
When I consider who we naturally are as women, our sacredness and the deep reflection of life that we offer it makes me weep to see how we have subjugated ourselves worldwide. Not only do we not reflect the depth of our beauty and the call back to truth but we often reflect an image of a section of society who are less than men. In how many countries worldwide is the role of the woman to care for the children and the man’s need? Now of course this can be done in a way that is sacred but generally it’s not, often it actually carries the energy of curtailing ourselves into ever increasing shrivelled versions of the powerfully beautiful alchemists that we are.
Sacredness, the truth of all women, bar none.
“When walking the other day, fully claiming my power and sacredness as a woman, I observed a 10 year old girl stop dead in her tracks and watch me, then she walked away quite tall and open in her own posture. This is amazing, she claimed herself as a woman.” I love reading this line, for the power and responsibility we all hold in reflecting truth to people.
‘ I have come to rediscover that all I require is already living within me’ How true is this, and the truth is we all know this. Something thats come home to me is the fact we are already sacred, we are already still, we are already precious, and so much more. There is an ancientness within us all, that has lived this before. It’s not a matter of going out there, outside oversleeps and looking for it, for we will never find any of our truth outside ourselves, it’s knowing that everything is inside of us, living waiting for us to re-connect to it, and let it out in full.
And it never wavers, simply always there for us to awaken our awareness to or not.
‘I am amazed that we live most, if not all our life, unaware that we carry such power and authority within.’ Yes – it’s almost as if the world conspires to keep us in ignorance of ourselves and our power. Hmmm… interesting. Because if we weren’t, if all of us women were fully claimed in ourselves, the status quo would have to change. And I’m not talking about a feminist-led charge, but a taking up of true power and responsibility by all, which we as women would naturally lead.
‘Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with.’ Imagine a world in which this is taught to all girls as they are growing up. This is our future and we can choose to live it now.
‘Sacredness is an innnate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with.’
This is worth building every day and be concsious about every moment. It is the key to the power what we have and bring as women.
Agree nikkimckee, I know that sacredness is within me from having felt a grief and sadness about not feeling it, and known fact of instead subjecting myself to the outside world. To not live in sacredness is to live metaphorically without a limb.
Even though I know I know what sacredness is, I feel I don’t know. What I do know that I know is that living disconnected from this sacredness takes a toll.
Knowing that we are all innately sacred and that we do not have to go anywhere to find this is liberating, all we have to do is surrender to who we naturally are as it is all with in. As we re-connect the ideals and beliefs we have been living by will be exposed and we can let them go, we need to discard all that is not who we are but have been identified by,
History has been about disconnecting women from their bodies and sexualizing it to control it and rob women and with this humanity of their true essence, our sacredness. Esoteric Women’s Health supports women to re-connect back to this sacredness and live the true women we are. Making it all about the body in its truth.
At a recent Sacred Movement meeting with Natalie Benhayon, Natalie explained how the innate sacredness that we all hold in our bodies is in constant motion, it never stops, in the same way that our heart never stops beating and all of our bodily functions contiue to do what they do whether we are awake or asleep. In order for us to feel that sacredness, we simply have to reconnect to what is already there. This was a revelation to me, and since having that deeper understanding, I have been allowing myself to feel this deep sacredness within me more and more. I can connect to it no matter what I am doing, and I feel instantly connected to myself and allows others to feel that they too hold this sacredness within them and can do the same.
There is another quality innate to us all that feels worthy of raising in the discussion here, and that is stillness. Particularly through the modality of Esoteric Yoga, this is a quality I’ve been able to get to know intimately as a woman, and connect with the truth that stillness indeed resides within us all. In a world where we tend to run ourselves ragged, and move our bodies in ways that can be harsh and disconnected from these qualities innate to us, it is an absolute Godsend that Serge Benhayon has brought us the modality of Esoteric Yoga, which supports a reconnection to our innate stillness – not to ‘remove us’ from life in anyway, but actually to get to know how to nurture our relationship with this stillness and come to develop a consistency of connection to it, for it dramatically changes how we go about our day.
Without this knowing of my own stillness, I would not be able to form a relationship with the deeper sacredness within my body as a woman.
The power of us living in our sacredness is immeasurable and so very supportive, not only for ourselves but more importantly, for all others that we come into contact with, and this feeling that this sacredness is for others, is very strong when you are within it.
The holding power of our sacredness, allows another an opportunity to reconnect to their own sacredness within, it’s like they can’t help but feel more, when we hold them in that way.
Learing to work, move, breathe with this feeling of sacredness makes us aware of the bigger picture that we are moving in. This makes life so much easier, because it allows us to flow with the bigger current instead of working against it and then being stopped by accidents or illness and disease.
It makes so much sense to go with the flow than try and swim upstream against a raging current, which is exactly what most of us choose for ourselves each and every day.
Sacredness doesn’t leave us or go away. It is always there in every woman for us to tap into. Just by thinking about it I can feel the sacredness within as I develop a stronger and deeper relationship to self.
As I connect more deeply to the sacredness within I am getting to feel and accept the beauty and curves of my body. I feel joyful and expansive in my body as I learn to be more consistent in this way of living and share it with others.,
Sacredness to me in the past was something really attributed or attributable to the church, scripture, or a religious book for example.. it was not a quality that was contained within a body, and something that not only could be connected to, but felt and lived in a modern life outside the realms of chastity or religious fervour by order of faith or denomination. Sacredness is a woman’s natural beauty. To disguise or hide this, is to rob the woman of her very essence, and power, no wonder the world and institutions are how they are as the various inequalities and abuses of females do show. Therein lies the essential importance and education of a woman’s relationship with herself and her body — to come back to this natural place so far stepped away from though choice and ignorance. With awareness of this fact, we can return as the true women we naturally are.
Reconnecting to our sacredness as women is the true women’s revolution. The power of a woman does like with her shoulder pads, or burning bras, true power is connecting with her sacredness which is a woman connecting with divinity and living this divinity from her body every day.
Meeting my wife in her sacredness to me is the most beautiful and powerful experience I have ever had in my life. The beauty and grace she then brings is honouring me in all that I am and invites me to live all of me in full all of the time.
Doing the sacred movement sessions has really opened things up and allowed me to feel how huge and powerful our essence truly is. How it holds you so beautifully, through any imagined struggle or issue. It brings the space be much more aware of true purpose and why we are here.
Sacred has lost its meaning in the word. But through reclaiming our bodies as women and the purpose that they have beyond the mere functionality of life, we are regaining what the word sacred really means.
“I am learning how to function with such a delicate feeling.” I like how you point out that it is not the speed nor really the way in how you do things but how you literally are with yourself, whether you are with yourself or maybe ahead thinking what all needs to be done or lingering in thoughts that have nothing to do with the current moment. Always something worth practicing to have my mind stay with my body.
Yes, being pulled out of busyness and into appreciation of what is around us is quite wonderful.
The very first time I connected to my sacredness was during a sacred movement session, and when I dropped into the stillness and felt the sacredness there, it was exquisite and I did not want to talk, as if I did, it felt like I would be disrespecting it in some way, that words would not do it justice. I just wanted to be held and feel this divine essence. It was very beautiful to feel.
“I can now truly appreciate those moments when I’m able to stay connected to that sacredness within during my working day, connected to me – a truth available to all women.” I love this line as it is so true, it is great to appreciate the small steps we make towards a true way of living with ourselves. I found for myself too that I have so many ideas of what sacredness is but what I am discovering that it is very simple, in being present with myself and claiming what I feel in every situation.
‘I feel like nothing can touch me, that I am living in a life that is ready for me before I even walk through the door, the joy I feel is explosive and I love connecting to others.’ A joy to read and a great inspiration to connect to my sacredness and choose to be in this connection instead of only moments and then choose ‘the doing’ instead without the quality of sacredness.
Beautifully described, thank you. Sacredness is not often talked about in such practical and everyday terms and your blog makes it very real and tangible. You live the physicality of it without any mystical woo woo stuff and I really appreciate your contribution.
It’s amazing how delicate we can be as women, even doing the toughest task. I often play a game at work, where I test how delicate I can be doing something like lifting a heavy box, or something awkward. Yes it’s possible to feel womanly doing anything 🙂
I agree Meg I very much enjoy this game too.
There is such simplicity in our connection to our sacredness and when my head comes in first it usually causes much complication or only provide short term solutions.
I am only just beginning to accept and allow myself to feel my absolute sacredness. Now I have felt that for myself, those times that I don’t connect deeply within feel awful, like something is awry, my whole day feels off, when actually all that is not there is my connection.
‘I now love living, and working, where as I used to dread each day upon waking.’ It is life changing when we choose to re-connect to and express from the beauty that lives inside us all.
So beautiful to hear about the power of claiming your sacredness as a woman with your amazing reflection of a 10 yr old also walking tall, feeling confident and lovely.
Surrendering is playing big as we surrender to the universe.
“..where as I used to dread each day upon waking.” This is a sad affair and yet there are probably many people in this world who live like this. I can very much relate to it as I used to live this way too, having the feeling that life did not make sense and not knowing where to go with my life. And I love how we can truly change our way of living by learning to reconnect to our deepest knowing and practice to live from there, discovering our own beauty and that of others, living more and more from the truth that we know and is our rhythm.
Learning that a woman’s body carried within it the quality of sacredness has been one of the most profound teachings that I have ever heard. It fits with a feeling that I remember having about women as a young child. Learning to re-connect to that sacredness within myself is taking time as I peel back all the images and beliefs I have accumulated about myself and other women as I got older. It is a process of discarding these images and beliefs to get to what is naturally within me.
It would be good to know whether there is an equivalent among men and what it would be.
It is a truly great skill to be able to stay present and connected with our bodies and work to deadlines and at pace. What a blessing to be able to apply these skills each and every day.
I could wish I had known this in my younger years, but I didn’t, no regrets. I do have a developing understanding now of our sacredness and true beauty, at 63, and that in itself is miraculous to me. It is never too late.
…all I require is already living within me and the more I connect to and live from this space the more beautiful life becomes for me.’
One day, all women will hold and claim this very fact from when they are young children and won’t feel the need to conform or change themselves in any way. This will be a great time indeed, and one that is much needed.
“This supports me to enjoy any activity I am doing because I am doing it with and from this connection.” Why wouldn’t we want to choose to be aware and stay connected to what is natural and divinely available to support us in our every movement? Anything that is felt that doesn’t match this would indicate that it isn’t honouring of the loveliness we are. With connection to our sacredness we have access to understand how to support ourselves and stay connected while also attending to what ever is presented.
I love what you touched on in terms of how we can support others through our quality of being and how we hold ourselves in our body rather than just through our ‘actions’ or what we do. Being able to trust the steadiness of another person can be a much greater support that them doing multiple favours and errands for us.
‘I can now truly appreciate those moments when I’m able to stay connected to that sacredness within during my working day, connected to me’, when I have days like this I notice how much I enjoy going to sleep as I have been with me throughout the day and it is then a joy to wake up, with me.
I find when I am connected to this sacredness that there is a grace and flow in the way I walk and move that feels exquisitely gorgeous. It is so vastly different from the way I move when I get caught up in the busyness of life and let time get in the way of me being with me.
‘I get to enjoy my body on a whole new level. I enjoy the sensations I feel within my body and the harmony and space that is forever growing and getting stronger.’ Connecting to my sacredness has been the key to finding a deeper level of yumminess in my body and the more I connect the more I realise there is a far deeper level of yumminess just waiting to be tapped into.
What a confirming experience you had with the young girl on your walk, just goes to show the power and divinity we all hold in our bodies, something that’s keenly felt and known by others, no words required. It’s just our choice to allow the connection within. We have a responsibility to do this not only for ourselves, but for everyone else also.
‘I have recently become aware of the feeling of sacredness that all women hold within. I am amazed that we live most, if not all our life, unaware that we carry such power and authority within.’ …. I agree, I can feel that I have held myself back as a woman, allowing myself to be less. In the last EBM I had, I was aware of a holding in my body and could feel my body was asking me to let go, to surrender and allow a deeper connection within. Very beautiful to feel such a clear message.
” Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with. It can be her guiding light throughout life if she so chooses.” Once upon a time this would have been shared between girls and women but now feels like a secret that has finally come to be shared and felt. Once we get a sense of the presence and power we hold within it’s like, of course… this feels so natural!
I am there with you when you say you used to not like living or working. I would do so much to avoid working and my whole attitude around work was appalling, and it wasn’t just paid work. I used to hate doing dishes and I would get grumpy doing them, bang around as if that was going make it any better ? yeah right !!
It has been some time now where I have stopped and realised that I am the one responsible for how I am in anything I do and I can enjoy it or make it a task that I don’t want to do. I have had my own attitude shift and these days I actually enjoy doing the dishes, the warm water, having a clean kitchen to come back to and I love caring for the home. I love work too. I actually enjoy my days at work everyday, even the challenging ones because with them, I learn a lot about me and how I am in the world.
Sensational and real blog – how to be and live as a true woman. How many women in the world are aware of how to connect and live from their sacredness? It sounds to me it is what all women deeply desire and it is within each and everyone one of them – they carry their own seed to freedom!
For a man: Tenderness, Grace, Delicacy, Love, Truth?
I am learning what it actually means to surrender. I had so many images on what surrendering is and most of them are not true. What I feel now is how much I have been doing and in a way performing, trying to be something and always wanting to better myself, while what I feel now is far more the quality I live in and how I am with myself is where the true surrendering is. I can choose in every moment how I am with me and how I move, this feels very lovely and great to explore and deepen.
Absolutely with you Mariette. It is very humbling to see the images crumble and be more in the livingness. I feel like having lost my “north” and don’t know where to turn and what to do, but that is exactly what it is about – to surrender to all there is.
Thank you Rachel, reading your comment brings tears into my eyes. I also notice that letting go of the images makes me feel a bit like ‘losing my north’, as you so beautifully express. It feels like being lost, while I know I am far from lost, it is just that I have focused so much on outer images, as a fake security. It is just to turn to me, knowing that everything is there and that I don’t have to do anything to be me but to just surrender in this moment.
It has taken me a while, but the dawning of what you say here Mariette is turning into the full light of day for me too. As you say it does feel lovely to explore and deepen what surrendering actually is.
I feel it takes us all a while as we have so many concepts and ideals about what it means to surrender. What I also notice is that the more I surrender, the more I feel in my body, for instance my lower back. To surrender brings up stuff, stuff that belongs to pictures and images of how I thought I had to be, which has resulted in living a contracted life. Letting go of that contraction is for me also a big part of surrendering. Surrendering to life and what is needed, and not what I want life to be.
What a beautiful story about you walking in your power and that little girl watching you. It re-connects me to the fact that to claim our sacredness as women, that we that not for ourselves but for those around us.
A woman connected to her sacredness is a woman in her power. Deeply beautiful and inspiring for all to see and feel her.
Cleaning with this depth of quality within yourself redefines what it means to be a cleaner! In fact this goes out in everything we do with our sacredness and tenderness. It gives a whole new meaning to life and what purpose we bring to getting up each day.
Connected with divinity everything we do or touch or say is to touched by divinity, even the most mundane things like scrubbing toilets. Gets one to reconsider what divinity truly is, isn´t it?
“I feel like nothing can touch me” – that is the forgotten and or suppressed truth that the divine is untouchable by the not-divine. That which is not of our true divine making can only impose and cloak the truth hence, it is us choosing and allowing such betrayal to our own and everyone´s detriment. Just the same it is our choice to restore the connection to divinity once again for the benefit of all.
The sacredness within lived and expressed will set the world on track again, such is the power of true sacredness.
‘Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with. It can be her guiding light throughout life if she so chooses.’ Reading this this morning made me feel we really have to get this out to all women to know this power and joy within us all. It’s not claimed by women, it’s not surprising we are struggling with the false images we are given instead of simply connecting to our amazingness. By shining out this connection wherever we are, other women will feel it.
Just imagine the wonderful change that would occur in the world if every young girl was introduced to her innate sacredness from a very early age. I am sure that the self worth issues that so many women today carry, the self loathing, the self abuse, would become issues of the past and the ripple effect of this sacredness would be glorious, bathing everyone in its path.
Each time I lose that connection to that inner sacredness it is a gentle reminder to change my movement to reflect that delicateness and bring the mind and body into union.
I have experienced also the power of the inspiration of my presence when I accept myself in full and I am around others. It gives them permission to do the same.
Yes I am experiencing this more as well in my day to day life. Fully choosing to be me and not holding her back offers the other person the reflection that they too hold this power within. It gives them permission to not shy away from expressing who they are.
As a man I have experienced my own sacredness as well which for me simply means to be living who I really am free of any ideas or beliefs about what a man should be which the world continually tells me. It is a beautifully simple way to live.
Connecting to this sacredness within and living from that point of connection is so freeing as I do not have to rely on things being okay out there in the world for me to feel okay.
Last night I attended a scared movement class with Natalie Benhayon. She focussed on the women learning to surrender within their own bodies and stressed the fact that sacredness is a quality we hold within. We do not create sacredness or build it, it is a reconnecting to what is eternally there, part of our essence. And this reconnecting, as I am learning more and more, can not come from doing anything but from letting go, surrendering within myself and then let it all come out.
The realisation that all is already held within us is huge especially for women who commonly share a striving for becoming better, more beautiful, more special, etc. as we have learned from young that the beauty we then still know from within is not enough. To return to being enough just as we are is deeply healing.
We do indeed all carry Sacredness within us, men included! I was at a Sacred Movement Class presented by Natalie Benhayon yesterday and starting form the knowing we all carry Sacredness within us we just need to connect to it rather than somehow attain Sacredness was a big revelation. We grow up being taught we need to go out into the world and get/attain knowledge, skills, wisdom etc.. yet forget that we have it all within.
As a Man it is Truly amazing to feel Women in their Sacredness. There’s such an authority emanating from Women connected to their Sacredness. This is simply Divine Glory. As a Man I’m learning slowly how restricted and controlled I’ve been going and still go through life. When connected to all these rays of feelings within my body feels as such a blessing. Thank you Women and thanks to myself for (slowly) initiating Tender movements within my life.
I agree Floris it is very beautiful and supportive to be in the presence of a woman who is completely at ease with who she is and connected to her sacredness. It feels like a sense of space is opened up which is an invitation for me to open up and expand into the man I know I can be too.
‘It is not the speed I work in that is changing but more my feeling of just being 100% in both my mind and body with what I am doing so as not to get flustered or caught up in what there is to do and the time I have available.’ It is absolutely true that my perception of time changes when I am really connected and in both my mind and body with what I am doing even though it is a work in progress and letting go of the pattern of rushing which I lived for years…
It’s so beautiful to read how one can do quite a physical job and be delicate. I’ve no doubt we have often have jobs that we think require us to be a certain way to ‘get the job’ done but what if we could the jobs and remain in our sacredness? I know I’m inspired from reading this to challenge my beliefs about what I need to do to get things done and to bring in a way of being that honours myself as a woman.
For me it is about continually coming back to how my body feels and surrendering. I can get caught up in the doing of life and then my body begins to contract and harden cutting myself off from feeling that sacredness that is always there deep within me. How gorgeous when we can live this in full and what a beautiful impact it has on the world. Those we meet sometimes recognise something in us and know that it is in them too just like the young girl you encountered on your walk.
Realising our sacredness is our greatest gift to feel and know for both ourselves and for all women to see and feel.What a beautiful blog with such strength and knowing and it exposes what is missing in society today for all of us from truth.
Whenever I connect to my sacredness I’m struck by the stillness I have in my body. This is a stillness that I do not live with all the time as I choose to get caught up in the busyness of life but it is there within me patiently waiting for me to connect to whenever I so choose.
Yes, “we have chosen to be led astray from knowing what is there to connect to” and so we have to call in a force that ‘helps’ us to get things done. This force has its price we have to pay and we end up being under constant push, overwhelmed and exhausted. A good foundation to not be able to take responsibility for what we are responsible for: to bring heaven to earth. Thereby I found if I choose to connect to my natural source, to my womanly body and let come through what is needed – I am nurtured and the connection is giving me a deep warm feeling inside which I missed for ages. It is just to get up my bum and make this choice. Take responsibility. Connect.
Staying connected to that amazing warm and fullness inside, claiming my sacredness has been something has has been intermittent in my life – and sometimes, not here at all. To feel the difference now, when I hold and claim that which is naturally within me, is so beautiful and powerful, and changes the energy of absolutely everything in life. It is like seeing through new eyes from a much deeper place and in this there is naturally no attachment or need – no looking outside or wanting.
It is such a beauty to see women that honour their sacredness. I then see that we are not from this earth but belong to something much grander – a divine love that is being express here on earth.
The power of reflection is immense. When we truly claim ourselves as women by connecting with our sacredness it offers other women the opportunity to feel that they too have this right inside of them.
“I’m not perfect, simply a student who’s forever learning.” That sentence alone is such a perfect example of sacredness – the grace to allow imperfection without judgment -truly sacred for all of us – men and women.
So beautiful to feel the power and strength in which you have written this piece, in full connection to you sacredness, and all that you share proves the incredible ways in which being connected to our inner quality can support us in our everyday life. Life is so amazing, when we choose to be present, and in the joy of our inner heart.
Sacredness is new to me too – but from what I have begun to experience, in that there is such a depth, warmth and beauty to the quality inside me – I will not be stopping until I have completely explored and developed this to the nth degree!
That’s gorgeous Meg, I’m going to join you on that same exploration because going by my findings so far – it’s worth it!
I am also starting to feel this sacredness as a woman and it is truly beautiful. My lack of connection to my sacredness thus far definitely explains in part why I have felt so disconnected from life and people. As women we carry such a sadness at being disconnected from this natural part of us; an innate part of our being which we carry everywhere but don’t allow to exist.
This beautiful truth, this truth of the sacredness that all women carry, makes the most amazing difference to how I feel in my body and how I have claimed my authority as a woman. Before feeling this I felt I had no authority as a woman. This is so crazy as it is who I am. So now I have let go of that powerlessness and have come to know and to also allow myself to be inspired by other women. A woman in her power of sacredness is not someone to be compared to but someone to be inspired by.
This stood out for me today- “It is not the speed I work in that is changing but more my feeling of just being 100% in both my mind and body with what I am doing so as not to get flustered or caught up in what there is to do and the time I have available.”
As a midwife there are often many things to do at the same time, and it is a matter of prioritising the work. I can quickly get overwhelmed and go into drive and feel anxiousness take over my body, feeling the pressure of getting things done in a certain time frame. The simplicity of your advice makes sense. Thanks for the reminder.
When i connect to the Sacredness within, i feel solid, confident and loving.
Sacredness is the quality of our essence, our source of who we are. It is not physical yet it is felt by our physical bodies.
I’m only just on the foothills of my understanding of what sacredness truly is, so your blog brings some real clarity to a subject that has been steeped in religious and spiritual goo and releases the truth of what has been trapped somewhere deep under all those decoy covers for too long, keeping us oblivious to what is already there within.
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with.” How did we abuse ourselves considering the sacredness that lives inside our womanly body.
Yes the connection to stillness and sacredness if made is very powerful. Even in the most intense situations connecting to this place of stillness within me helps me to stay with myself and enjoy life.
‘I have come to rediscover that all I require is already living within me and the more I connect to and live from this space the more beautiful life becomes for me’ – it feels so awesome when we recognise that we are already enough and can let go of the need to seek outside of ourselves. As we engage with this feeling more and more we can begin to trust ourselves and to realise that we are not alone – that everyone has within them an essence that is sacred – an essence that cannot be tainted but only doubted.
It is deeply saddening to feel how disconnected we as women are from this innate quality of sacredness and how we have been robbed of something that is our birth right and so essential to true quality of life as men and women.
I agree Judith, that fact that even young women are not connected to their sacredness is a reflection of how far we have come from living our truth. This blog is hugely inspiring to remind us that by walking and claiming who we are how the power of reflection can so easily inspire others.
I am aware that connecting to the quality of sacredness within in me really is an essential to living a healthy, fulfilling and wholesome life as a woman. But curiously it still is a bit alien to me, which really shows how far removed I was (and still am to a certain degree) from myself, as this is so innate and natural to being a woman.
I walked through a great part of my life totally ignorant to the fact that there is a quality of sacredness inside my body that I can connect to and even today it is something I have registered as being a truth in my mind but have not truly claimed it as a reality within my body, that I can live and that supports me as well as others throughout my day.
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with. It can be her guiding light throughout life if she so chooses.”
This is something so profound that we have lost as women and it is so important to start the conversation about as without the connection to our sacredness we will never feel fulfilled or whole again and will forever try to fix ourselves from the outside, whilst everything we are is already within us.
It is beautiful to feel your appreciation for your connection with your sacredness and the impact that this has on your life and all those you come into contact with. Your reflection offers the opportunity for other women to explore the power of this connection and develop a relationship with it.
“It can be her guiding light throughout life if she so chooses.”
It is this connection that brings the awareness of how precious and treasured you are; an awareness that honours you as a woman absolutely – I feel great sadness when i comprehend all that we accept as normal before Natalie Benhayon shared the practices that re-connect us back to our guiding light.
The place for me to connect to my sacredness is my cervix. I love feeling the divinity and the subtle movement inside that is in line with the universe. Super supportive and guiding in my choices.
What a great example of the great power that is within us all as women, that the young girl who saw you walking by immediately changed her posture and walk so dramatically after seeing and feeling how you were holding yourself with such love. The reflection that young girl saw and felt had the power to change her whole approach to her day. We have a great responsibility to live this knowing for all to receive this reflection.
The concept of conscious presence, being 100% present with what you do both in your mind and in your body, as presented by Serge Benhayon from Universal Medicine is priceless. If everybody would practice this consistently this would change each of our lives. Dementia would certainly be less and the effect on other illnesses and diseases would be very positive.
Connecting to our sacredness supports us to move in accordance with the movements of the universe.
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with.” It is vitally important to claim where we come from and let the feeling of sacredness lead our way.
Thank you for sharing your appreciation of your connection to your sacredness and the impact this has in all areas of your life. I too deeply appreciate my unfolding relationship with sacredness and the steadiness this has brought to my life which is always there to be connected to if I so choose.
Thank you, your connection to your body is real and palpable – and very inspiring.
There is immeasurable beauty, wisdom and sacredness within single one of us that reflects the power of who we all are in essence whenever we choose to connect to it.
As I deepen my awareness and connection with my own sacredness, I find that things that are not supportive or not loving drop away. There is no ‘giving up’ something because I’ve told myself it’s no good, bad for me, etc, it actually comes from knowing that it no longer feels supportive and I just find I don’t need it anymore. It’s because I feel so lovely within my body – why would I want to change that, to tone it down? I still do, particularly with food, but I feel its affects more and more until I decide no more. Feeling lovely is worth more than a moment of pleasure from food.
There is a certain quality in a woman who knows who she is from the inside out and is not afraid to be seen. Its nothing to do with age or clothes or looks, but it can be felt.
This was a lovely blog to read. For me, sacredness is connecting to my own rhythm and living my days in honour of this. I do not choose it all the time but when I do it feels glorious to simply let myself be in a natural flow, doing things according to a pace that comes from my body and how it feels, rather than my mind. It’s hard to put into words, but I suppose ‘sacred’ does sum it up.
I used to have this internal conversation with myself, like can I really feels this good, walk like this, hold my head this high and feel this amazing and there was this other voice telling me no way, you cant be so beautiful, sexy, you will stand out, and you must be up yourself. You see I had ideals and beliefs on how a woman should be and it was getting in the way of how I could be and who I am. As I have connected more and more to my sacredness, and trust me, I am a beginner at this, I have allowed the woman within me to come out and shine. I have allowed myself to walk like a woman instead of hide in the tough tom boy look of a walk that I used to and this alone has changed so much. Who would have thought that the way you walk has an effect on your whole day, and it even effects everyone around you. It does just like you shared how the 10 year old noticed, and then changed her walk too.
When women and as well men start to recognise and honour the true quality women are energetically and physiologically designed to emanate and express all disharmony between the genders will cease.
Our sacredness is our natural way of being as women and what I to am beginning to become more aware of is how powerful this quality instilled within all of us is. Once you stop and connect to this quality you cannot but deny how truly precious and divine we are.
I love how you describe the 10 year old girl who stopped in her tracks when she saw you walking in your power. And she totally got it and walked away with it! How powerful is it then when we claim this and walk this every day.
Recently, Natalie Benhayon, the founder of ‘Sacred Movement’, a method to restore one´s connection to sacredness mentioned that you can not have sacredness just with yourself as it is universal, i.e. all-encompassing and involving every other being, the Oneness we all come from and are part of. This may help to get a deeper sense of the divine nature sacredness is referring to as the word alone and its true meaning might be difficult to grasp.
To most women (and men) the sense of sacredness or even the simple notion may be strange and unfamiliar nevertheless it is very real as soon as you experience it. It really changes the whole quality and presence of a person, it is an emanation and way of moving and expressing from the body that resonates in others, stirring a sense inside well known but maybe lost for a long time. If women only knew about it they would let go of many behaviours and endeavours that are merely a bad substitute for the sacredness they actually are missing.
Returning to our Sacredness is so precious. The Women in Livingness groups and Sacred Movement classes continue to provide a strong and deep foundation in re-claiming the truth of who we are and energetically this is being felt by women worldwide. A beautiful opportunity to live with responsibility to support the all.
Every woman who claims and lives her sacredness, supports and reflects to all other women what is possible, what our future is….
I agree the feeling of sacredness changes everything in life and is the most profound quality to connect to.
When we accept our divinity we cannot live but our sacredness as this is what our body naturally emanates, we are just so used to covering it up and denying it. Nothing but choices stand in the way of living as the divine vessels we are knowing that we are not a source but always sourced.
When a woman is living by and from her sacredness every man, woman and child feels it. When I’m moving through the house connected to my sacredness the whole environment of the house changes and things run smoother and flows.
The divine quality of sacredness can be lived very naturally in our day to day lives and this in essence is living in a religious way, from our inner connection… not confined by any dogma or institutional representation as we are often lead to believe.
. “Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women; it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with.” This is so true and beautiful to read the grace and strength I feel when connected with my sacredness offers an innate wisdom and connection to divinity. The quality of my livingness determines my connection to divinity.
To live in deep connection with ourselves is a choice, our birthright, but it actually is our responsibility.
Our reflection is so powerful I love how the girl you saw on your walk stopped dead in her track and watched you mirrored your open claimed posture and claimed herself as a woman and walked on into the world watch a reflection she will be to everyone who comes into her path.
Very true Margaret. The ripple effect of our choices is worth appreciating. There are very few true role models for young girls. This is absurd considering that we can inspire someone simply by choosing to connect to ourselves.
It is gorgeous to witness women connected to the beauty and strength within and living that outwardly with a power and authority that inspires others to embrace that within themselves. We are not taught what we possess and can connect to from young and yet if we were, I’m sure we would not have the misogyny, suppression or inequality sadly evident today.
Sacredness used to be a foreign word to me and definitely not something I connected to in my own body. I’m still learning about what this means to me in a practical way, and when I consider sacredness now, I think of this as a quality I naturally have within. The way I am able to support myself connect to this is by being more aware of my body and how I am being with my body (ie am I being rough, pushing myself, going into drive, thinking about everything else bar what I’m actually doing or am I being gentle and aware of how I move, how I speak, whether I feel tightness in my muscles etc).
“I’m not perfect, simply a student who’s forever learning.” – I love this line. How many of women are consiously or unconsiously striving for perfection? The perfect body, partner, children, job, lifestyle, etc, etc … only to feel never good enough when things go pear shaped or don’t quite live up to expectations. We and life will never be perfect and there is such a humbleness is what you’ve said that you are forever learning. What I take from this is that if you make a mistake, you simple say ‘woops’, learn from it and move on, with no beating yourself up or ‘I should have’s’ playing out.
“Sacredness is an innate knowing and rhythm that lives inside all women, it is her connection to divinity and all the glory this comes with. It can be her guiding light throughout life if she so chooses.” How powerful women truly are, when they choose to live as you have described here, using their sacredness as their guiding light. To live from that innate knowing I have discovered is so absolutely beautiful, I can feel so vulnerable, yet at the same time, so powerful. It is so amazing. There is no need for any fighting, it is just a matter of walking that beauty, and others get the reflection from us.
Are we expressing and moving in the depth that we are? The sacredness of a woman constantly asks us to deepen and to truly express this equal depth with ourselves as well as with everyone we meet. When can meet ourselves in our sacredness and we must, in fact, especially when it may not be met back by the world yet, because the reflection we carry is for the whole world to once again trust in the consistency of their own love. The depth of a woman is unlimited, this is her sacredness, and responsibility.
When a woman does not live sacredness, this word is made into a very secretive thing. But sacred is what every woman already is, it simply needs to be connected to and expressed. There are no fireworks when we are being sacred, and definitely not special when we choose to express it, but we begin to feel what being a woman truly means, what being who we are feels like, and there is no feeling more amazing than that, no process more worthy to be explored.
If we allowed our bodies to guide us in how we live, the world would be a very different place.
I love how you say there is such a simplicity and clarity when living this way, it’s our truth and our most deeply held and knowing way to live.
“I have recently become aware of the feeling of sacredness that all women hold within. I am amazed that we live most, if not all our life, unaware that we carry such power and authority within” I totally agree, I have felt this particularly with becoming aware of how I feel, moods etc by using the Our Cycles App I discovered the amazing process that is having my period, that billions of woman are completely ignorant to the power within is truly unbelievable.
There is nothing more powerful and all knowing than our authority within our own bodies.
‘ When walking the other day, fully claiming my power and sacredness as a woman, I observed a 10 year old girl stop dead in her tracks and watch me, then she walked away quite tall and open in her own posture. This is amazing, she claimed herself as a woman.’ This goes to show how HUGE the power of reflection is.
Every discovery regarding energy but not as theory but as a fact, a feeling, something your body registers, I have made inspired by the teachings of Universal Medicine bring something very special to me: a true feeling even if a little taste of Home and a question: how could I lived in separation of it?
There is no doubt that only when you connect to sacredness, you can truly feel with your body how does it feel an energy that unifies.
There is an amazing beauty at the finger tips just waiting for us to make the decision to connect to. When you connect to it, you can truly feel how an unseen world welcomes and embraces every cell of yours and invites you to move with it.
Reclaiming being settled in our own body and discovering what it has to offer us is as important as understanding why and how we managed to live life in a way that was detrimental to us albeit, pretty normal (and even above normal) according to today’s standards.
Only when one introduces true beauty and truth in her/his life, one realises full blown the extent to which the live lived up to then was not it.
Sacredness for me is when I drop the pretense or trying or pleasing or any other façade or role I use and be who I naturally am. I am without any protection and willing for the world to see the real me.
The feeling I get from this blog is that connecting to the power of who we truly are, to our sacredness is so super simple and so accessible that it’s right under our nose. Also there is no reason in the universe as to why not re-connect to this divine way, our natural and only true way of being. All that’s left now is to re-connect and move, express and live from this connection.
I am really exploring what it means to have this sacredness as a foundation within myself which is always there, for me to connect to. It feels like a whole new world to explore which start with connecting with my cervix. Like you share, it does feel very powerful when I live from that and express myself with others.
‘What we offer to ourselves and those around us, simply by connecting to this sacredness, is a beauty and strength that is lacking in the world, yet it is living inside us just waiting to be connected to and then expressed from.’ – I agree, this is sorely lacking in the world, and goes to show the huge responsibility we have as women to connect to our own innate sacredness and from that lived knowing, be a true reflection to everyone else.
Just the fact that you are talking about something which is available to all women equally is a powerful thing, and yet there is a different understanding, feeling and experience that each and every woman will have with it. We are all of the one potential and yet all exactly at the learnings that we currently need to be, we have our strengths and our weaknesses in life and it is our ability to choose to be students of ourselves that really supports us and importantly supports us to open up to other women in our lives too.
It is true that our bodies hold all the answers we need and yet most of us are so far away from connecting to our bodies that we don’t even ask the questions.
It is no coincidence that almost every aspect of society is set up to disconnect us from our bodies. A good question to ponder is why is society set up to disconnect us from the very vehicle (our bodies) that can connect us to our true power and knowing.
Sacredness is within us all, even men, though rarely lived, it is a quality that is both power-full to feel and also totally precious and Divine, a connection that must be looked after and honoured. At least, this is in my own experience of feeling that quality within myself as a man.
I too am starting to rediscover the sacredness within. The grandness and beauty of it can at times be ‘too much’ for me so I run away and keep myself small in the numbness and denial of just being a person in this world, however by consistently playing with my connection to it (myself) daily, I can feel how sacredness is not something to attain, but is already there within my body and so connecting to it allows it to bubble up and start being expressed in the way I move, the way I speak, think, sing, cook, clean …..everything. Baby steps feel huge.
Beautifully described and shared, Lucy. I can related to that ‘too much’ feeling. Baby steps really can and do feel huge.
