From Mad-ness to Magic!

Women by nature, are intelligent, resourceful and courageous. Many of us are or have raised children while having simultanteously raised the glass ceiling that once threaten our equality within corporate America, our ability to vote and the choice to serve in the military. Yet, as a collective, we carry a legacy of too much pain and fear as a result of the last 3,000 years of Patriarchal which causes us to still question and protect ourself? With the presence of a new political, religious and social paradigm before us, we now have the opportunity to come home to our resounding wholeness. This central place within each one of us, affords us to live an authentically, loving life that doesn't compromise who we really are.

Here are a few, common mad-nesses we 'do' as women in attempts to get our needs met, indirectly that are manipulative, debilitating and ultimately unsatisfying.

- Mind read or make assumptions about other people which cuts us off from actually learning about them or ourselves.

- Disempower or give up who we really are to be what others want us to be.

- Give too much of ourselves in hopes of being loved, accepted and acknowledged by God, our parents and our peers.

- Close our hearts to protect ourselves from being hurt...again.

It's time to let go of the Mad-ness... by Quantum Healer, Tcha LaPlaca

As a woman, mother and a facilitator of The Indigo Method Heart-Centered Parenting Program, a six month tele-class program I designed to assist parents in coming home to their heart to parent their children from, I witnessed a pattern that surfaced throughout the series with a majority of the women (moms) who participated in the program. It felt like an invisible blanket that protected and silenced us from being authentic, balanced and financially interdependant. What follows are three common habits that women often perpetuate to create our (inner) mad-ness:

Mad-ness #1
Withholding who we are.

As children, it was customary to withhold parts of ourself (we believed would be rejected by our parents and peers) and adapt ourself to be what others wanted us to be so we could be liked or feel as though we 'fit in.' This caused a split between our authentic, more powerful self and our adaptive self who may be holding onto beliefs that we are unlovable, incapable, inadequate or 'not enough.

As women, we natually intuit what others need and being feminine, it is part of our nature to nurture. This in itself isn't what causes a woman's mad-ness. The problem arises when we expect others to meet our needs in return. Rather than learn how to voice our needs authentically and responsibly, we get mad... usually at our partner or mate for not meeting our needs the way we are capable of meeting theirs (silently). To protect ourselves from further hurt and disappointment, we close our hearts and become independent of needing anyone. We create a cycle of giving away ourself, getting mad verbally or physically (when the results aren't what we want), manipulating and retalliating, feeling guilty afterwards, then over compensate in the attempt to make up for our bad behavior, hence forth, the cycle begins all over again.

The real issue is that we don't believe we deserve our needs to be met. Why? Because we chose to be caregivers at an early age as a result of buying into the belief that we weren't enough. We learned how to put ourselves second to our parents and our siblings. Many of us have experienced what it feels like to be invisible when it comes to our needs being met. Instead, we became dependent on caring for and about others as our means for valuing ourself. Or became over achievers in hopes of gaining acknowledgement, approval and love.

As part of our desire to be accepted and love, we find ourselves in the habit of withholding our thoughts and feelings in fear of being judged, rejected, or the cause of someone's upset. Suppressing what we feel, especially our anger, creates a shadow of emotions that become our Dark Feminine. Ultimately, stress and other unnurturing factors, causes this neglected aspect of our self to 'lose it', most often with our partners and children. When we give too much of ourselves in hopes of making others happy, or close our heart to protect ourselves, we dim our light; eroding our own self-esteem and those around us.

Mad-ness # 2
We have become our own worst enemy.
Many people think our inner critic comes with having a mind. That it's something to ignore because it has always been there and will always be there. Not true. Our inner critic arises from the creation of our own negative thoughts towards ourself. And, it develops an a subconscious artchetype that relatiates from believing we aren't good enough to 'get our love needs met', from feeling betrayed, ignored and rejected. The beliefs we make up about ourself develop energetically over time, creating an inner judge that relentlessly reminds us of how not enough we are. Eventually, over time this inner critic turns nastly and turns on us, with negative jabs that we feel and hide from physically, that if not embraced, healed and transformed, often xpresses itself as tumors and cancer in our body.

Mad-ness #3
Money as a source of power, control and worth.

"A lot of us have experienced the power that negative and positive thoughts have in our lives. We are held hostage by our negative emotions and set free by our positive ones. But we rarely make the connection that our thoughts and feelings directly affect the money we have. This is because most of us still have denial about money. Our spirits are so clogged with negative emotions about money, such as shame, guilt, doubt, self-hate, lack of self-worth and self-esteem, along with anger, greed and revenge, that the natural flow of prosperity has a difficult time seeping in, let alone flowing in" states M & M girl, Barbara Wilder within her book, Embracing Your Power Woman. No matter how positive our affirmations and intentions may be, what we believe about ourselves on a subconscious level greatly influences our conscious choices and our ability to live and love from our heart.

What does it take for Women to be Free?

Courage & Commitment are key -- courage to face our fears, accept our limits, allow for our anger, heal what hurts, recognize our magnificence and explore our beliefs and patterns that cause us to settle for the comfort of our own complacency. Challenges with relationships, money, death, love or our children are given to us to embrace the wholeness of our life experiences so that we may learn to live joy-filled lives in spite of them. As we embrace our Magic, the power that comes from loving from an open heart, comes acceptance and gratitude for ourselves and one another...freeing ourselves from our own paralyzing judgment and criticism. As we become more and more consciously aware of our journey to free the legacy of our past, our ability to release the blocks to the flow of positive life force enery, the SOURCE of who we really are, strengthens. As we come home to the SOURCE of who we really, we are resources, inspired to co-create a peaceful, abundantly loving world.
