It is said that when a woman is pregnant her ability to listen to the cues of her body and nervous system are greatly enhanced. This is a special gift given to us at a crucial time when the way that we live our lives has such an incredible influence on the life of another human being.
Uncertainty is what life is made of and what humans want to tame and control. A good part of our lives is dedicated to securing a living, a home, a family life and a trust-worthy companion. Women often assume the role of straightening the curves and levelling the bumps in the road, to smooth and steady daily life.
Our whole existence is based on change. In the first instance, we leave our family of light and incarnate in a material body. We leave the womb and are exposed to the physical sensations of the environment.

How, with a slight widening of girth, and blossoming of bosom, with the silvering of my hair, I quite simply became nothing. This soon became endemic in my mind and I felt ‘invisible’ just walking outside anywhere.
