Waterways of the Feminine Mystique

Waterways of the feminine mystique

This post was written by Community Partner, holistic wellness expert, author, and advocate, Shiva Rose.

Once we were fish moving freely in the sea.

Our bodies were soft and swift and we had no belongings.

Now that we crawled out of the sea we are dry and full of cravings.

We wander city to city carrying the memory of the sea (but it isn’t just a memory).

Listen very carefully and you will hear the sea in your body.

You know, our blood is seawater and we are all seacarriers.

from “Seven Little Stories” Ist story

The Connection (original in Japanese) – spring 1952

I was born by the sea. In fact my mother went into labor with me in Malibu by the pacific with dolphins swimming in the near distance. I may have always taken the sacredness of water for granted. . . until a few years ago. About four and half years ago I moved to rural Texas, and since water is more fleeting there, I have grown to really attune to The waterways that reside on the planet and within us. I began to feel the ache of the drought that took away the creek on our land. I began to dream of the sea as one dreams of a long lost lover. I began to awaken to the violent rain storms that felt so magnificent and frightening at the same time. I began to nourish my cells with hydrogenated, vortexed, mineral rich water to improve my health. All of this led to creating this course The Waterways of the Feminine Mystique. The course is not only about awakening the waters within you; but also touches on how to be your medicine woman, how to be enhance your inner courtesan, rituals and meditations for deepest self and so much more.

Are you drawn to water? Does the sea call you in your dreams? Do you have an image of water flowing on your computer? Are you drawn to images of waterfalls? Do you wonder why you feel so good when you’re by the ocean or river? It’s not just the negative ions balancing you. It’s a reawakening to the shores of where we begin to heal.

My purpose is to guide you gently back to your waters, where your intuitive, sensual, sensitive, powerful, and feminine nature resides. The goal is also to shed light on this beautiful element that is in danger on our earth. Like a woman’s body, when the waters are damned up or polluted the earth suffers. Stagnant water on our earth or in our lymph system will lead to disease,

Woman and their wombs are connected to the moon which connects to our waters. The ocean tides and our tides are deeply affected by the moons dance.

Bathing or showering are moments you can pray over the water cleansing you. Giving thanks to the cleaning rebirthing effect of water.

Woman or the goddess in human form is like a river without it life wouldn’t exist. Every flower, every fruit on the tree, every baby born all from the flowing waters of creation and the feminine. The rivers on the earth and the ones we carry in us.

So many temples are erected by sacred water sites. So many historical references to water like Rome’s vestal virgins, or lady of the lake Morgan in Arthurian tales. In French, the word for spring is source. Water from the womb of the earth is…living pulsing liquid source of us all. What if water is actually a deity and we are able to transcend illness and issues when we clear our waters. We do know water is a conductor that can amplify prayers and intentions.

We are mostly water and these waters are crystalline rivers within us – almost like a lifeline to the divine. The stars they say are water particles, and scientists now are proving humans & supernovas are related.

I hope my course can lead you to filling your inner wells, and also taking a moment to honor and protect the waters that are in your community. After all, we all should have access to clean, pure, alive water to keep us vibrant and alive. I urge everyone to begin to seek out natural springs near you and find ways to protect them. This site can tell you where a spring is in your community https://findaspring.org/

The course also will discuss how to get your inner waters flowing for the experience of being truly in your wet essence. Amrita the nectar of the gods, can be enhanced when we hydrate correctly and connect with our inner lakes the cervix.
