Fertility Ritual

Breathe. Believe. Receive.

by Shannon Port

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your heart center and as you do so focus on what you want right now. Believe in it and feel it, and then exhale your breath slowly and RECEIVE what you desire from deep within the well of your own being.

Start working with the practice of receiving and Mother Shakti will begin to reveal Her secrets to you. The art of manifesting is the art of receiving. One can only truly discover this through his or her own personal experience.

The world will open up and show you a different kind of power that lives deep within you when you start to listen and receive the cosmic intelligence that lives in each moment.

There have been those who say that it is impossible to be in the moment and I assure you that they have never had the profound, perception-altering experience of being there themselves. It takes an unwavering desire to
be there and a willingness to listen. In our action-oriented world we have given little importance to the art of listening and the feminine act of receiving. The truth is that our world has become so noisy that few people know how to listen anymore. The noise is creating all kinds of problems for us. When we cease to listen to our bodies, we become ill. When we let our minds become overloaded and overstimulated with noise we become drained of energy and depressed. As a result we fail to participate creatively in the world around us and this leads to a world that is out of balance.

Rejuvenation and healing begins with listening. All right-action arises out of receptivity. This is the age of the arising of the Feminine. Those who have the ears and the heart and mind to hear will discover these secrets through their own creative experience. They will discover that receptivity and listening will open the door to a new world; a world where your intuition and creative self join forces to manifest all that your soul desires.

To be present in the moment is to have the power to access the creative intelligence of the Universe to bring in whatever the moment calls for. That very intelligence lives within us. We are creative beings and our most expansive state of consciousness comes from being completely immerged in the present moment. Many great athletes, artists and musicians will attest to this whole-heartedly. Often times musicians and athletes report not having to think about what they are doing or worry about their next note or their next play because it simply arises out of the moment that they are in.

The Evolution of the Human Race

by Shannon Port

The evolution of the human race calls for an awakening of the feminine qualities of love, compassion, creativity and receptivity.

There is an over identification in the world at this time with projectionism, aggression, war and greed. To be in a state of projecting leaves us with little room to be receptive to those people and cultures around us.

Projectionism leaves little space for us to absorb the wisdom that is inherent in the Earth itself. The environment is our teacher when we are receptive to her ways.
She teaches us about cycles and balance, cleansing and renewal, beauty and diversity. We have chosen to ignore her teachings and project our own ways onto her and that has cost us much in these past decades.

The feminine quality of receptivity brings allowing and creativity, compassion and wisdom. The quality of receptivity allows us to listen to our own bodies as well as the world around us. Listening opens the heart. Projectionism closes one off from Wisdom and locks in the ways of the ego; whether it be an individual ego or the collective ego of an entire group of people.

The time has come for women to silently initiate and lead in the evolution of the human race. Since the beginning of time woman has held within her body the teachings and wisdom of the feminine. At one time women sought to be more like men in order to be equal. At this time it is necessary for women to remember their powerful and vast creative wisdom. For the real power of woman lies in her capacity to listen and allow real wisdom to be born out of love.

As women remember their power and begin to awaken the feminine ways on this planet, we will see a shift in the poles; a move to a more peaceful world.

The Power of Woman: Part Two

by Shannon Port

Each woman carries within her body the Mother. We all carry the Mother, men and women alike, however a woman's body carries the the capacity to grow and nurture new life within and this makes
woman a very special link to the Divine.

All the parts of a woman's body are extremely sacred; all of her reproductive organs, her breasts, her hands and eyes. She is the reflection of God and must be honored and adored in her flesh for her radiant soul.

All the functions of the female body are Divine. Her monthly menstrual cycle is a celebration of creation and her blood holds great mysteries and wisdom. Her breast milk is like holy nectar from the bossom of the Divine Mother. Her heart is a well of compassion and healing and her magnetic aura a nest for rejuvenation and expansion.

Woman allows the forces of nature to run through her and she soaks up the wisdom of the Cosmic in doing so.

What has been lost is the awareness of Womankind to understand the role she plays on this earth. We are now at a time when we need desperately to remember the power of the feminine to heal and bring in higher consciousness among mankind.

This remembering must start with women and be spread silently from woman to woman across the land, across the seas to every corner of the earth.

Woman can do anything. She is strong. Her Will emanates the Great Will. When she is aligned with her power she can create change and open the collective heart and soul of the human race.

This is the time of the awakening of the feminine; the awakening of the playful and loving, powerful and wise, compassionate and nurturing, allowing and ecstatic feminine.

Silently and with great will and love we call her forth, to heal our world and open our hearts.

The Power of Woman: Part One

by Shannon Port

Woman has only to look at her own body to know the link between the divine and womankind. The magnificent power of the female body to create a new life from the seed of a man is astounding;
profound to say the least.

To reflect on this power of the female body is to reflect on the powers of creation; the power of God.

As woman awakens to remember her deep connection to and reflection of the divine Creator she will also awaken her power to heal the planet and call forth new life and souls of the highest vibration.

Fertility Consciousness is that very consciousness that honors woman's innate wisdom and power to create new life within her body. Fertility consciousness brings a profound awareness to the act of conception and creation.

"When you do something with awareness it has the power to change the world." --Joseph Michael Levry

Fertility Consciousness: Woman is Fertile Ground

February 17, 2008

"Plant your seeds on fertile ground."

Woman is the fertile ground of the Earth. Woman is the soil and the life-giving force of nature. A female body is the Earth Mother herself and female fertility is the gift of woman to all mankind.

The Earth and woman are the same. They both reflect the consciousness of our Divine Source. Let all women connect with the rhythms of nature to feel the power of their fertility. Fertility is a state of consciousness itself. "Fertility Consciousness"

In order to bring forth the highest level of consciousness in nature, woman must be shown the utmost love and respect and adoration. For a woman in her receptive allowing nature takes in the vibration which she is given. It is the nature of woman to receive the energy around her.

When a woman takes in negative and toxic energy and treatment the pain which she feels affects all in her environment for a woman's body and mind and aura are strong and creative.

In this age in order to heal the pain and suffering which the human race has known for so very long, it is important for us to wake up and heal woman, giving her her righteous place back as life-giver, nurturer and healer. Woman is the creative force behind our world, and when she is healed the planet and all its inhabitants will feel the great effects of her healing.

Woman is the birther of not just new life in human form, but of the consciousness of the Cosmic Mother. She brings in the capacity for us as a people to know the loving oneness of all beings. Woman in her heightened state of heart and mind knows that we are all connected and that each child of the world is a child of God.

May we all begin to heal the Mother within us. She lives in both man and woman and waits patiently to be loved and respected and honored so that we may reap the fruits of her unconditional love and nurturing.

With great love,

Shannon Port

Fertility Ritual: An Evolution

February 12, 2008

Fertility Ritual: An Evolution

For the past five years I have been working with women from around the world to create fertility rituals.
It is a long story how I got involved in this work and one that I may write about in my forthcoming book Fertility Ritual.
The fertility ritual is for any woman or man or couple who is desiring to bring a child into the world. It is for those who have been challenged by the process as well as those who would just like to make it a really conscious and spiritual experience. The ritual is different for each person. It is a spiritual event by nature but draws from a vast universal well of love and wisdom and creative power that applies to any belief system. The work is so exciting for me that I have decided to focus all my attention on writing about it at this time. It is directly connected to the beauty and sacredness of the feminine power to create and nurture life.
As I have been studying and researching all the ancient teachings on female power and spirituality I have fallen in love with this theme and have been led to some amazing teachers who are keepers of some of the most sacred wisdom on the planet today. Women are the key to the great awakening that is needed on this planet. Women hold the knowledge of peace deep within their being. Women are innately connected through their bodies to a source of intuition and power that has the ability to heal and transform this world of ours. The great shift will happen as women are guided back to the wisdom that lives deep within their cellular memory. This is a quiet and powerful journey and one that will happen as mothers teach their daughters about their beauty and power. In our world today, woman has forgotten how to honor herself. Through movies, television, media and the fashion industry our young women have been taught that they must be sexual and sexy but without the depth of spirit and soul to make this sexuality real power as opposed to shallow and empty power. Sexuality is a beautiful thing. But empty sexuality promotes depression and self destructive cycles of behavoir. It denies the very essence of power in women.
As I write about fertility and the sacredness of fhe feminine, I am learning that it is not a long distance we have to go to make the power real. It is just a matter and quiet undertaking of women to begin to learn about their wisdom and then pass it on to their sons and daughters and families and friends. It isn't a revloution, but an evolution.

The Fertility Ritual is a conscious way for women and men to tune in to that very creative power and honor it. Aligning with this power consciously can have a huge impact on our planet today and affect with great love the way we bring new life into the world. It can awaken a woman's knowledge of her own body so that she is able to know her body and honor her body and soul, to and work with her own innate creative power and wisdom to conceive a child out of pure love and awareness.

In Love & Creative Power,

Shannon Port
