BeShenomenal with Mary Jo Rakowski

Speaking up, speaking out, using our voice is not always easy or comfortable. Yet the time is now for Shenomenal Women everywhere to be heard!

When you hear the word Goddess does the image of a beautiful woman dressed in a flowing white gossamer gown trimmed in gold pop into your head? Is she wearing a circlet, a crown, perhaps holding a cup or scepter? Maybe your image of a Goddess is the warrior woman in armor sitting on her white steed prepared to ride out and battle the dark forces.

What if for a moment we thought of the Goddess as a state of mind, a state of being? That the Goddess is steeped in the myths of ancient times and has been constantly evolving even while there are those who would silence the Goddess in you, in me?

In these days of ever shifting seas, there may be times when we feel as though we are hanging on by our fingertips! We may ask ourselves how we can keep going when feeling so overwhelmed.

How do we do it? Resilience!

This episode was inspired by the book, "If Women Rose Rooted', by Dr. Sharon Blackie and what she refers to as the Eco-Heroine's Journey. Not an adaptation of Joseph Campbell's popular, 'The Hero's Journey, the Heroine's Journey is about reconnecting to our feminine energy. It's about walking our way back into BEING, being fully a women. It's about taking our rightful place in the circle, at the table, and actively participating in creating a 'new' world.

Did you know one of the biggest influencers of our vital autonomic nervous system, the system that is responsible for the control of many bodily functions, is our breath?

So, if we can consciously, deliberately, and intentionally control our breath, wouldn't we then have some level of control over our autonomic nervous system?

Women possess unique potential contributions to share with all willing to listen, that will help to create a more honest, a more compassionate world paradigm. This is what the world is calling forth. This is embracing the rise of the sacred feminine energy. It's not about women taking over the world, it is about evolving into a world of collaboration versus competition.

In this episode I will share information from my research into the sacred feminine and masculine energy: what are the qualities and benefits, how might we feel/know these energies and simple methods to find our own balance.

In this episode I will share a brief history of the Feminist Movement as well as what the movemnt looks like today and moving forward.
