Shakiti
In tantra, the essence of female and male consciousness is not reduced to the female and male vision, much less the genitalia. Perhaps because tantra is able to accept "All that exists".
Every woman full of vital energy is the personification of Shakiti, the feminine principle. Spiritual emotion transfigured into the mystery of fertility, into the recognition of what is far from the eye: The enigmatic transcendent symbolizing the sacred and divine feminine energy.
This mysterious and beautiful energy embodies both life and death. In Hindu mythology when the cosmos is in danger the Gods appeal to Shakiti's power to make him disappear.
So when we talk about the ascension of the feminine it is not about the struggle for gender equality, but about how to elevate this eternal feminine through its own mysterious qualities, enabling the masculine principle to also flow in balance. Tantra always goes beyond and presents the divine being as a glorious androgyne... the perfect and harmonious combination of complementary energies.
Reviving this energy is for everyone. The sacred feminine and tantra pulsate in all bodies as a mystery that cannot be measured but that when set out in the open and honored increases its value and can be felt and danced into existence through us. It is such a natural energy that it enables us to fulfill yearnings, to nurture and be nurtured, to love and to be loved. She shows her face like a fierce maternal love, one who will do anything to protect the one he loves. Sometimes it feels like a knowledge that churns in our belly and howls in our womb, letting us know that something is wrong.
As we open this sacred portal we find ourselves with the wildness and intensity of a more authentic emotional expression. When we explore and celebrate the feminine, we discover that it is alive, coming out of a deep sleep stretching its limbs, nodding to hurry up and get out of the established mental process; for it is only by turning to themselves that we awaken self-love and learn to trust ourselves more.
Well guess what! Tantra is therefore sacred and feminine, and this comes with a warning label; for when you let him in, nothing will ever be the same again. Among other mysterious phenomena: life will never be boring, sex will never be two-dimensional, emotions will flow easily and majestically and you will forget to apologize for who you are.... Your emotional energy will become a strong power that activates and it motivates everything you do, you won't dance in the conventionally sanctioned way; it will become wild, and at the same time subtle, the dance will come from within.
You will be able to heal yourself with authenticity and compassion... always remember you already have your own medicine.
A sacred and feminine hug to all.
