WEL-Systems: A woman’s way?
I just finished posting to the ‘WEL-Systems World!” on Facebook about my experience last night of the Women Awakening group. Close to 20 women gathered in this small group, talking… about their awareness of the restlessness; about the pressure in their bodies to move forward, to grow and to engage their lives more fully. I was stuck by their determination and commitment; by their unwillingness to give up on themselves or to just ignore the whole thing until it fades into a distance memory.
When I think of the image that I chose for this blog (that of the image of the three small hurricanes blowing across the ocean and heading for land), I am aware that as I looked out at these women, I could feel the wind starting to move! Each of them is/was, within herself, the potential for massive change. As they shared space last night; as they shared thoughts about what they want, what stops them and their intense desire to engage, they fed off each other. One woman’s insights became another woman’s invitation for discovery. One woman’s expression of pain became another woman’s reflection of fear. And on and on it went, for more than 3 hours.
Women awakening are highly contagious! Women moving are invitations for other women to begin to move. Women willing to be in the presence of other women, to wonder and wander through uncertainty, fear, discomfort, desire, intentions, hopes and dreams – out loud!… where she can be seen and heard! – cause veils to fall away and walls to come down. Women willing to be seen and heard invite other women to find their voice and decloak.
It will take women to propel other women to do what is required for them to find themselves. It will take the vibration of awakened women to create a wave that can penetrate the thick calus behind which many women have learned to hide and protect themselves. It will take women gathering in small groups, talking… about meaningful things; about things that are personal and profoundly touch our lives; about things that make a difference; about potential and possibility and the future; and about the greatest intimacy that we can experience : our connection with ourselves.
I am clear that women are naturally drawn to a WEL-Systems way of moving through the world. There is a natural alignment that makes the connection to the process effortless, even if what they find sometimes demands effort for them to stay present to themselves. No matter what it takes, my experience with hundreds of women has shown: it’s well worth it.
