INVISIBLE WOMAN: The Power of Images as Your Voice

March 8, 2012


The impact of a powerful image is well beyond that of the spoken word in many cases

Recently I went to an opening of Patti Levey's wonderful photography and was greatly touched by not only her photography but the various aspects of her entire exhibit which included her photographs, poetry and performance art by Dana, another young woman.

The combination of all these allowed me to experience the invisibility of women, and the connection that we have with one another even when we are in countries divided by war and ideologies. It was POWERFUL indeed for me, and took me back to the Brave Heart Women's RISE conference training last fall where we learned to acknowledge each other's pain and send love to one another so that we could learn to collaborate rather than compete. Patti's work raised the questions of women being invisible in a burka, and of people not being able to love one another when there are differences. It asks us to think about how women learn how to take on this mantle of invisibility for their own purposes, to hide their real identities and intentions as in carrying laptops, rifles or even pregnancies underneath this garment that is both a burden and possesses the possibility of being a gift of camouflage. A small woman in a burka then began circulating thru the people in the room, silently, almost invisibly. I saw her out of the corner of my eye at first. I realized no one else seemed to see her at all, Seeing the photographs of similar invisible women, offering a folded American flag to the viewer and many other related images along with poems of the losses and pain of these wars between countries and on women, had already left me deeply moved. Suddenly I knew this invisible woman need to be recognized by me. I looked at her. She silently walked up to me holding the folded flag and handed it to me. I can not describe the deep feelings of sadness and yet connection I felt with her. Then out of my experience at the RISE conference came a knowing and I reached over to her shoulders and placed my right hand there. She placed hers on top of mine. And with tears I simply said, " I SEE you. We stood a moment and then I returned the flag to her. It was profound for both of us as she told me later. Perhaps the teachings that we had at Brave Heart's RISE conference could be done on a much larger scale so that they can sensitize many more and show us how to simply recognize one another as the beautiful beings we are, regardless of how we dress or where we live. This was a wonderful example of using multiple means of communication to empower the Voice of the Work. A message given in multiple ways that includes visual images is perhaps the very most powerful tool we have.

Sacred Twins: Two Ways to Look at Decisions

February 17, 2012

 I Dream;
I Channel Information for Myself and Others


How do you approach making decisions?


Recently I had a dream that seem insignificant at first then thinking on it further I was given much information about how we make choices in our lives.  The dream was this:

Twin old men with balding heads of white hair pulled up beside me in a car with their window rolled down, both in the front seat.  I was walking down the street of a small town.  One was alert and driving the car. He could see perfec...

Harmonics: What Are They and How Do We Raise Them?

         Abundance and Harmony    Watercolor 9 x12 "  copyright 2012 Feather Redfox




Harmonics and Harmony, flowing with the movement of things, being the water within the water....think about that....water...within the water. Its a bit like being a separate individual part of the great Source of all and flowing as an individual within that great energy. Harmony can be a sound, a pitch and a flow of movement, a feeling about the state of our souls and the song they are singing t...

Your Empowered Whisper

Can you project across a room in a whisper or powerfully to the person standing beside you?  What emotions can you project and how empowered is your whisper?  Try this simple e...

Finding Your Voice

January 22, 2012


So many women are taught by their cultures that they must always speak with soft tones of kindness, with consideration for the feelings of others.  I truly believe in showing compassion and judging little or not at all, but there are times when we have something of true importance to say, and we just have to shout, yell if you will and allow our passion to show in our words. In this way we claim our boundaries, teach the things that need to be taught. They may be yells turned up in volume or ...

A Solstice Meditation - An Esoteric Teaching

December 16, 2011


                           Eyes of the Sun

A Solstice Meditation - An Esoteric Teaching

As I meditated in  the dreamtime, I was with an ancient mask of the Sun from an Aztec Temple.  The face image above is much like that mask I saw, but it includes an image of a temple in the middle and round disks of the sun darkened in the night on the left and in light on the right as in the day.These were times when the sacred cradled and informed the ordinary.  I heard a voice intone and say:

" Oh that I m...

Calling Back the Goddess

December 10, 2011
                                                                               
                                                                                                Calling Back the Goddess

Quickly the sun approaches that time of standing still that we call Solstice.  For some time now, I have felt the call of the Goddess, felt the absence of her feminine energy presence in this sore world .  I know its return is imperative to the healing of our Earth and ways of living.  We seek fr...

Vulnerability versus the Outdated Evolutionary Behavior of Our Need for Safety

December 7, 2011

     DOORWAY TO THE PATH OF HEART

Vulnerability versus the  Outdated Evolutionary Behavior of Our Need for Safety

When I think of power-filled feminine energy, both in women and in men, I believe it must include vulnerability.  Few of us like to be vulnerable as it is almost sure to open us to hurt of some kind yet.....Vulnerability take a kind of courage that is more powerful than becoming hermits or always choosing the Safe Path.   Fear has to be the biggest stumbling block for all of us who ...

Oxytocin As A Source of Empowerment

November 30, 2011


SILENCE

Oxytocin As A Source of Empowerment

There is information which is helpful to us in our work as beings searching for our truth and empowerment, so that we will be able respond to situations in our lives rather than react, to let go of our need for approval and competition, to calm Crazy Mother when she visits us with heightened fears.   One of those things is a raised level of Oxytocin in our bodies.  I am not a scientist or a medical person but the general information that science now p...

Shaman Artist Teacher

Feather of
Santa Fe

Feather of I am passionate about being an artist, teacher and healer; I work shamanically, often being guided very specifically to use certain colors and shapes, images or techniques in my art, adding words that are given to me as well. I am compelled to do this work and see it as a tool for the assistance of others in their own journeys. It is the work of my life, My Heart’s Path. I enjoy doing it more than anything else there is. While I use the term healer, I am really more like a guide who can bring others to portals, to mirrors that allow them to create their own healing processes and changes. No one person really heals another without that person’s input. It has been the most amazing journey of my life to come to an awareness and knowing of these gifts and how I am able to use them. Thus my intent for all of my art is to offer beautiful food to our souls and create aids for new ways to heal and solve our problems. Many of the most ancient processes and ways of leaning about our lives and selves are also among the newest ways. The finger labyrinths I have created are a wonderful example of this. Using readings based on the Power Deck and Soul Cards as teachings rather than fore-tellings is another method of helping us to SEE ourselves and areas of our lives and behaviors we may wish to change. Everyday is another chapter of learning for me. I am so grateful for this journey I am on and must credit my teachers and mentors over the years, especially Lynn Andrews and her School of Sacred Arts and Training. Truly my life is alive with mystery and magic in a very special sense of those words and I feel blessed to be able to SEE in so many new ways. Feather
