What is the highest frequency?

I was reminded the other day about the one thing that creates the highest frequency in the world.
At at first I through it was love, but surprisingly it's not love. It's actually authenticity. 

So really our one job in our life is to live the most authentic version of ourselves.

And I think that is so magical.

A major part of living the authentic version is to remove the blocks in the way, the things that keep your inauthentic.
 
We live in a world that is being bombarded with AI. And we are been called upon to use our own discernment from the inside out to judge if the information we are being told is real, or false. Authenticity is the theme of the next few years while we adjust to this new wave of technology.
But the manipulation of our perception has been something we have been dealing with for hundred of years. 

I saw an video recently about a woman who did her masters studying how the rise of the feminist movements in society is parallel with a push for women to fit into a skinny body shape.
It seems that when women decide they want to take up more space have a greater impact in their society, then there is push in the media that women need to fit into an incredibly un-feminine physical mould. 

Think about how in the 1920s when women started to find their voices, they were then only fashionable if they were flat chested and straight bodied.

The 1950s the female hourglass body was celebrated as women were expected to stay home and be housewives.
In the 60s with the rise of feminist movement we had the Twiggie body shape.
In the 80s as women reclaimed the boardrooms, it was a push to "power dress"  with your giant shoulder pads and very skinny body.

Society, or should I say TV and magazines, has spent most of our lives trying to tell us what we "should" look like. And then done their best to sell us clothing and accessories (and yes makeup) to make sure we fit. 
It's only since the industrial era that clothing was no longer bespoke and made to fit your body. The fact that we don't "fit" the cookie cutter shape that modern clothing dictates is actually quite logical, no one body is the same, it is not a case of one size range fits all. 

But the psychological warfare, courtesy of the modern media, has meant that as women we took on the fact we don't fit in mass produced clothing as it being our fault, not the fault of the designer or manufacturer. 

It became another burden and fault we attribute to being our responsibility, and another contributing factor to reducing our power.  
The feminine power has been highjacked and turned into self destruction rather than what it is designed for, mass construction. The female body is designed to construct life and help it and those around you flourish. Oestrogen has shaped our brains to nourish and nurture and consider the good of the whole.

So when we are distracted defending ourselves from criticism, beating ourselves up for not fitting a dictated shape or mould, fighting for our rights to be live a greater life than that of of a breeding animal, we are distracted and disempowered. 

I think the truth is the perfect female shape is ..... what ever shape YOU are right now, at this moment. Because you're woman and it's your shape. 
A part of our conditioning is to be constantly unhappy with our shape and body image, and it's just another barrier keeping us separated from our authentic selves. 

Your shape constantly changes, it's a part of the human experience.

• When your little you grow and it changes
• Puberty, it changes.
• Menstrual cycle, it changes (for some dramatically each week) 
• Pregnancy, it changes
• Post pregnancy, it changes
• Stress and anxiety, it changes 
• You get fit for a while, it changes
• You stop exercising, it changes
• Menopause, it changes
  You age, it changes. 
  

The one thing that rings true for all women is that your body changes. 

It's got curves big or small. Lumps, bumps, stretch marks. Bits that jiggle, bones that stand out, thighs that rub together and thighs that don't. 

As you age your skin is less elastic and that how it's ment to be. We are often not comfortable with it, but that's because we are expecting it to be static, unchanging and that we have been told that as we age we "loose" something. And that's the problem. 

As we age we gain. We gain wisdom, freedom, compassion, clarity.

Our bodies are not the problem. 

Our clothes are not the problem 

Our aging is not the problem.

The problem is the leans we view ourselves through and the expectations we have placed upon ourselves. 
The lens is one of imperfection. It's the perfect distraction.

How do you disempower the feminine?

You keep her feeling weak and unworthy. 
Having her look at herself and focus on her flaws

Keep her fighting for basic rights.

Have her distracted trying to do EVERYTHING for EVERYONE and burning herself out. 
Have her not trusting her own mothering instinct and be told that she has to raise her kids a certain way.

So what do we do about this? How do we change a lifetime for programming and expectation?

I wish there was one clear answer. There isn't. 

Honestly I'm still working on this.

The things I am clear about is that it is more important than ever to do things that nourish and nurture yourself. 

• Meditative activities that turn off your brain and allow you to connect into a deeper part of yourself. 
  For me it's dancing, yoga, breath work,  and listening to meditations on an app called Insight timer. (It has lots of free meditations as well as a paid version).
  Mediative activities help you to quieten the mind and allows the authentic, true you to come out and play. The true you doesn't care about your body image, shape or size, it is the soul part of you, your inner light. 

• Catch your thoughts, Not the first one, that one isn't important. It's the second one. That's that one that matters. That's the one you can call out and say "hang on, that's not true" and then you remind yourself of what is true, treat it like you would a small child, with love and compassion. 
• Donate all the old clothes in your wardrobe that you are aiming to "fit back into" they just become another weapon your mind uses on you to torture yourself with.
  Then you make room for new clothes to come into your wardrobe that are a reflection of the woman you are today and the woman you are becoming!  

A big part of the solution is in awareness, so you can even realise what you have been patterned with.

Then it's in the little steps you take every day to either affirm an old reality or welcome in a new empowered version of yourself. 

I'd love to hear from you about what mediative activities you do that help you to turn off your brain and bring you closer to the authentic you. 

No one is coming to save you...

But no one is coming to stop you either!!!
