“When I think of sacred, I think of a temple, and in a temple you would go in with respect, you would go in there knowing its a sacred place, wanting to keep it clean, and going in there with ‘Presence’. Presence as in knowing I am stepping in here and this is a sacred place, so I’m honoring this place, I’m not gonna disrespect it, not going to use bad language or create conflicts – there is a certain energy when you say the word ‘temple’, compared to the word ‘dustbin’. So if you see your body as a dustbin which a lot of, you know, where people can throw rubbish and do whatever they want, its a very different way of Being than if you see it as a temple – a temple where you honor, respect, keep clean, and love.
I believe that Feminine wisdom all comes down to women understanding that their bodies are a temple. That they worship them, even if you don’t. When you do not see your body as something that is sacred, then you do not treat it as sacred. Ask yourself; ‘does my body really want to put itself in this situation where I could potentially feel I have been taken advantage of? One of the things I understand is women have issues with their boundaries so they don’t know when to say no and do not actually know what they want. So once you begin to learn that, you begin to learn what is it that you actually want, based on how you actually view your body”.
