All She Needs
All she needs is to be heard.
To really be heard.
A sweet space of presence where you do not quake and quiver in the face of her power,
but beckon her to share more.
To be more.
To reveal it all.
Where her emotions are not taken personally,
even if they’re about you.
Where when she’s done sharing,
You ask if there’s more.
And when she’s moved through that wave,
You ask if there’s something more raw underneath.
And you ask,
And you ask,
And you stay,
And you stay,
Until she giggles in her liberation,
And falls upon your chest in gratitude.
………
The masculine essence is pure presence.
A compassionate witness who holds strong
in the waves of feminine emotion.
He holds his ground with impeccable presence,
As if his life depends on it.
He hears, repeats back to her what he’s heard,
And takes responsibility for his part,
Whilst staying sovereign in his field with a genuine open heart.
Not solving, just listening.
Really listening.
This is relational MEDICINE.
Implemented in all relations,
This world would be a completely different place.

>> Create the space of ritual when something important needs to be shared <<
>> Take turns holding space for the others’ feelings as poles shift from one embodying the Masc and one embodying the Fem. (We ALL get to be emotional sometimes) <<
>> Don’t take it personally even if it seems to be about you <<
>> Own your feelings and your actions <<
