Fear of the Feminine

What's been missing


THIS IS AN INTERVENTION.

If you’re feeling majorly fatigued, then you’ve probably been on the auto-loop bullet train of do-do-do and never take a rest stop to be-be-be.

What’s something we all over-value? Well I don’t know if it was obvious. But yes, that would be the masculine. It’s not your fault though, you’ve become this lop-sided Picasso painting. A Johnny Bravo cartoon clone, you know the big chest, no legs type of deal. Locked in the 2D universe. How’s this going for you? Alright, I have no more insults left. Let’s move on. It’s not like you’ve been conditioned this way or anything. And really it’s not your fault you’ve been tired or unmotivated.

But please listen to me, okay. I don’t think this will blow your mind, buuuut you might be feeling this way from the lack of time you’ve actually designated for your own creative outputs and actual rest.

Yes, I mean not trying to relax, just relax. Let me repeat that. Stop Trying To Relax. DROP IT! Noodles. Ragdoll. Yeahhh. Isn’t it insane that your body has to unlearn what’s its suppose to do? Yes, I mean do nothing, let those shoulders go. You no longer have to lift your body or hold someone’s worries. It’s all you. This spac e is all for youuuuu. Dedicate this moment to reacquaint yourself with your own body.

Check in with your pain points. Once you got that down, go into your mind. What’s in there? Are you really okay? Let’s also take a second to marvel at the side conversation that you had this week or that beautiful red-tailed hawk you saw while driving and even the roll call you hear every night from your neighbor’s terriers.

See, life can be desired, not just a duty, when you slow down to get to know yourself, appreciate your community and blend in with the boulders.

Was this helpful? You just experienced something so undervalued that people often question even paying for it (a huge gap in our job market) or considering it real solution, dismissing it as an indulgence or selfish, disregarding it as true medicine or an essential companion to your masculine qualities, something we all enact has humans.

We’ve been so deprived of the feminine because it’s reputation of weakness. So yes, both men and women relive their lives in the hyper-masculine to avoid public shame and exile to their determent. We have lost so much rest, art, display of emotions, empathy and authenticity, it’s literally KILLING US.

Someone tell me the suicide rate again? Someone tell me when the last gun shooting was. When did you last let yourself feel without shame? Untangle your spine? Had a damn opinion? Are you getting this? Is this dialing in for you? Because this is serious. Joy is serious. Love is serious. Ease is serious. Write this down! “I will commit to my joy, capacity to love unarmed and take a break like I mean it.”

Gawd, my hands hurt, they are hurting more for you. Don’t let this letter be in vain. Yes, I wrote this for you. Transmute these words from your eyeballs and suck it back into your brain because I mean it. This is the missing piece. Your feminine nature is claiming its comeback era. Don’t miss this call. How much do I have to type this out for you?

So much has been taken from us because of the imbalance of power. Yet the magnetism of the feminine prevails. We all need to heal this notion of productivity that’s breaking our backs from 9am to 11pm. Honestly, boredom is a luxury. It’s that time slot you get to think for yourself, create, meditate and massage places that feel a bit creaky.

So the next time you have a slither of boredom remember who you are. Grab back. Take back what fuels you. This is the real new human code. No biohacking guru can say otherwise. Some things don’t require experts, just your expert opinion. Believe yourself. When you meditate, it's listening. The soul wants to come out of its vessel for a bit and whisper things. You know what to do and you can do it.

So touch that earthworm. Wild out and volunteer for something you want to change in our precious world. Find where the light hits. Take it from there. I trust you to figure this out.

I hope you got some perspective. Okay, love this so much for you. Make it happen!

Not joking,

Melody
