from Awakening: A Daily Guide To Conscious Living by Shakti Gawain
The new woman
What is femaleness? What is it to be a woman – an integrated female/male being – in a female body? The job for women is to let go of that subtle way that even liberated, New Age women unconsciously have of focusing on trying to get the men squared away, trying to fix them or make them right. We need to communicate directly and honestly with the men in our lives about what we want and don‘t want, like and don‘t like, and how we feel. Then we need to look into ourselves, to take care of our integration of our own male and female selves. This is very difficult, because we really like to focus on the men.
Women: I focus on my own process.
Men: I respect and appreciate the women in my life.
