Feminine Masculine Balance - A Paradigm Shift for a Peaceful and Abundant Society

For the longest of time, I used to have a very distorted view on femininity and masculinity.

Going through phases of hating skirts and dresses for how I felt they made me weak, masterfully practicing the art of ''if looks could kill'' towards anyone I didn't feel safe with, complaining about ''ugh, typical men'' and looking down on women and girls who were traditionally polite, clean and perfect. Putting on my Independence pants and conquering the world, partly destroying everything in my way - opportunities, relationships, my own happiness.

Then, thanks to another type of influence (the first one probably came from being in a community of single moms / witnessing dysfunctional, toxic gender roles in families) from a more esoteric world, I was introduced to the ''true essence of the feminine'' and some wonderful beings representing that essence - embodied, flowing, sensual, gentle, often motherly, intuitive, creative fairies talking in such big words that seemed to mean everything and nothing at the same time.

And I so wanted to be like them that I almost completely left working with mixed groups and turned to women-only events.

Which they truly were amazingly beautiful experiences that left myself deeply connected, tapped in and turned on for all of life (and I am totally in for re-creating something like that in the future).

But soon I discovered that this approach alone didn't seem to take things anywhere far. Not for me, nor for the women I admired so much. It was like floating on a cloud, dreaming and enjoying, passively waiting for things to come, stuck on ideas, but no inspiration or movement forward.

And then La Luna Illumina came, first as a song, then as a philosophy. The Moon (the feminine) Illuminated by the brightly shining Sun (the masculine). An irreplaceable union within and without. A state of complete flow achieved by letting the opposites work together, not against each other. Balancing my own inner conquerer with the intuitive allowing and trusting.
​
And this book - an insightful, practical read to help us discover that art of balance for more harmonious and abundant societies and individuals.

    how does the book chain work?

    We're doing this for the first time, so it's still in an experimental phase.

    Here are the basic guidelines we have planned for the book chain:
    1. Write in comments of the blog post why you would like to be the next reader.
    2. Leave a contact (e-mail address, social media link or telephone number) where the previous reader can find you.
    3. The person reading the book last will get in touch with you to arrange the passing on of the book. The book is for free. You might be asked to cover the sending costs, depending on where you want to receive the book (this is up to your own agreement). 
    4. Read the book, share your discoveries and reflections with others, and find another person from the list to pass it on.
    We would love it if you tagged @mindfuljourneysLV in your social media posts, so we can follow the book chain, read your insights and make improvements to the Book Chain.

    Enjoy your reading adventure, and get in touch with us if you have questions.

It is time to enjoy the journey.
