Have you ever questioned or doubted your capacity to ever attain awakening or enlightenment on the pathโฆ because of 'who' you are? or because you are a female assigned at birth?
In this most recent podcast, โ๐๐ฎ๐ป ๐ช๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ป๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐ฒ๐ป๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐? ๐๐๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ต๐ถ๐๐บ, ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ & ๐๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด,โundefined Poh reflects on the ways social conditioning in a patriarchy society with thousands of years of intergenerational messages shapes how women show up โ in life, in the roles that they play, how they define themselves and even in spiritual practice.
Many of us have been taught to prioritise others first, families, husbands and children.
Many of us have to live with biological differences of menstruation, hormone changes, child birth and labour,
Many of us question ourselves when we seem to be "too emotional," "too soft,"
Many of us wonder if we are โenoughโ to awaken.
But the truth is simple โ and liberating:
Enlightenment has no gender forms.
To return to our innate nature (home within) is a process of waking up from the tranced state of our social conditioning, our habitual tendencies, and to be free from attachments of these concepts and forms.
It's a personal reflection of my own journey.
It's a sharing of stories to affirm our potential and capacity.
It's an important piece written to motivate myself and you (the one reading) that we too, despite the challenges and conditions lie upon us, that we have great innate potential and capacity to be awaken.
Have faith in yourself. I believe in you.
