| I have named this profound ritual, The Lotus
Blessing*. Its origin comes from a time when the
Feminine was revered throughout many diverse cultures.
Women, their body and sexuality were honored as a
sacred force that created, nourished, and sustained
life.
Communal rites of passage were integral to a
woman’s life, initiating and guiding her into
the mystery and power of her female body, sexuality
and stages of womanhood. For thousands of years these
sacred rites were practiced and transmitted woman to
woman.
The Lotus
Blessing reaches back into our sacred
heritage to bring forward what is relevant,
enlightening, and empowering to our lives today. I
know the sacred transmission of this blessing and
believe every woman has an innate capacity to transmit
and receive its power. We do not need to be
“professionally trained” to give, or selected to
receive. Its spiritual and healing essence is
available to all.
It is in the communal energies of women
where we discover the joy, courage, inspiration, and
support for our journey to feminine sexual-spiritual
wholeness.
With Heart and Aloha,
