    About this ebook

    In the high-tech and fast-paced world, we need to make time to remember our true nature and align with the peace and serenity that come from within. Meditation and ritual can serve to bring about those more peaceful states of harmony and well-being. In Pathways to Restore the Feminine, author Kirsty E. Green shows how to establish practices that enhance the feminine aspect of our being.



    The practices focus on transforming each person within their own unique, authentic potential, allowing us to awaken and see life through the eyes of the heart. Green draws these practices from more than twenty years of experience working in alternative therapies areas, counseling, clairvoyant work, energy healing, grief and transition ceremonies, and meditation days in the forests in and around Melbourne, Victoria.



    Pathways to Restore the Feminine presents thoughtful and caring words of guidance and inspiration for women, showing that ritual and meditation are easy once you make a habit of creating time throughout your day.

      Preface

      This book is written partly in dedication and gratitude to all the fantastic clients I have had over the years, most of them women, who have changed my life enormously. They were at times brave, passionate, and feisty, and at other times lonely, grieving, and depressed. Sometimes they felt quite isolated in their desire to be the loving and spontaneous people that they were!

      It is now time to share some of the processes that made a difference to those women.

      In the high-tech and fast-paced world in which we live, we need to make time to remember our true nature and align with the peace and serenity that come from within.

      Meditation and ritual serve to bring about those more peaceful states of harmony and well-being. Throughout our day, we perform mini-rituals and meditation, whether on a train or at breakfast or sitting at a desk. We are, at odd times, in the land of dreams or even paused in time.

      Ritual and meditation are easy once you make a habit of creating time slots throughout your day.

      I pay homage to the beautiful women who surround me and the gracious, loving men in my life. May Great Spirit bless you as the beautiful souls you are. Thank you for walking some of the path with me.

      Special love and thanks to my dear close friends and family.

      Special thanks to Colleen Coleman, who really believes in my creative vent, and Justine Schnellbeck for your loving support and appreciation of my heart’s message. Special thanks also to my dear friend Gaail Tait and the wonderful photographer Helen Madden. Thanks also to Andrea and Rozzie.

      When you sit in the stillness and silence in nature

      and meditate amongst the trees, you feel

      into the patterning that you see before you, smell

      the air; you know there is no other and that

      you have it now, right there inside of you

      and beyond you.

      As you go in deeper, becoming more still,

      you start to know the wonder of the heart

      and where it can take you, layer by layer.

      Through into the inner folds of life.

      You start communicating with the faerie kingdoms,

      the creatures of the earth,

      the seasons guide you

      and the stars crown your path;

      you learn the alchemy of the here and now.

      Your joy is in the raindrops, the little cheeky bird

      who snatches a crumb off your plate, the

      dog who shakes his wet coat all over you

      and it goes on.

      From chaotic wonder comes the jewel of serenity

      and peace.

      The flowers stand still, and at last the fragrance

      is released of She.

      She will come, and She will heal you in the

      starry night from the hidden realms within you

      and without you, and she will take you

      by the hand and take you to that place where

      you can see your inner patterning of

      love, magnetizing you to your place

      in the world, yet not quite of this world.

      You will feel your softness and fullness, all seeking

      done, all desires a fragrant success.

      Peace, love, and truth reign once and for all.

      The soul’s job done.

      Love, love, love,

      Joy, joy, joy,

      Bliss,

      Enlightenment.

      Being selfish is when we do something

      just for ourselves without

      paying heed to hurting others.

      Being self-fulfilled is when we seek

      to fulfill our passions and potential

      in ways that do not hurt others

      and are respectful.

      CHAPTER 1

      Introduction

      A Greater Vision—Communing with the Soul

      Iwrote this book to share a fragment of my understanding and belief in establishing practices that greatly enhance the feminine aspect of our being; its place in joy and well-being, and living a peaceful, harmonious life.

      Through regular practice and communion we become more self-aware and fulfilled; creating natural states of peace and harmony. We open up new pathways of loving potential and achieve serenity in our approach to life.

      Throughout this book are many useful and simple methods to explore which direct the attention inwards, cultivating the intrinsic connection to the feminine inner: the pathway home. In creating healthy habits in relationship to the inner self, we begin to sense a new landscape within of creative potential. We become more open to inspiration.

      I have also included ideas on how to deal with troubling emotions and difficulties that can affect our well-being if not dealt with over a period of time.

      I counseled many women and a small percentage of men over a period of about twenty years. For the most part, I found my clients to be extraordinary, insightful, wise, and talented people, all on a quest for love and truth.

      My wish is for humanity to have a greater peace within; to be more committed to family, friends, and communities; and to move forward with more awareness of life on a daily basis. I pray that the earth and all its creatures be treated with utmost respect. I pray for a return to feminine softness and practices and rites that observe our true nature and are part of that return.

      We have to go beyond the human dilemma to help our fellow man, the planet, and all of existence to step into a truth and love vibration that is really outside the understanding of most—a love that supersedes where we were yesterday.

      It takes generosity of spirit and kindness to cross the human landscape to the soul’s domain of love and acceptance, to accept our feminine energy.

      It is up to each of us to explore healing and our creative potential and to reach deep within to find our role in becoming greater caretakers of humanity and the planet.

      My work brought me in contact with many people, from the homeless person to the millionaire. My question, in all cases, was, How do I support this person? How do I inspire her or help her to gain insight and perhaps help her to take the next step?

      I would work with affirmations and imaginative themes to create inspiration and hope. Sometimes I used metaphor, as it came fairly naturally in this process. People can easily put themselves into an offered position or quirky alternative, to create good and hopeful outcomes. I also sprinkled each session with humor. What a relief that was too!

      Armed with finely honed intuition and insight, I was able to find the necessary, simple steps for each person to take to reach the next part of his or her journey, regardless of background.

      There are simple, common themes throughout humanity. We each need to feel and express love; we need our friendships, our emotional and physical security and support. Above all, we need to feel our place in the world.

      My work was never about changing people; it was about creatively working with them to take the next step. I worked to support, inspire, and open up blocked channels of communication and understanding.

      In the end, most people who left my company felt very optimistic, thank goodness.

      I noticed throughout my life that my own personal and spiritual journey seemed to be tied up with the journeys of others. At our highest potential, we are all able to reflect love and truth to each other. Sometimes, of course, our buttons are pressed, sending us a little off track and down dead-end streets. We find ourselves head-butting brick walls through repetition of habits and beliefs and responses that just don’t work anymore.

      Often, there is no reasoning as to how you help your client. The universe seems to step up and help, sometimes in unusual and unexpected ways.

      Our evolution is very much connected to the planet and her evolution. Mother Earth is in a period of great change and progress. That evolution is about love and moving toward higher frequencies of love and light.

      Reflection, Natural Cycles, and the Mysteries

      For most of us, time out is spent in some kind of reflection on life, events, and mysteries. We go through different phases in life, becoming accustomed to new conditions as we let go of the old.

      The different stages and cycles of growth sometimes flow naturally and other times, not so naturally.

      So too, with the moon and its feminine associations of mystery and enchantment, we ebb and flow, wax and wane. When the moon is full, we are often at our greatest emotional potential, but how many of us become a victim of our emotions at this time? In turning to look at the natural cycles, we can pay homage to the nature of the feminine that lies within us and
