As a woman, you may feel a desire to reconcile your relationship with the Masculine, heal past wounds, and repair recurring patterning, but it can be difficult to approach, especially with deep, long-lasting wounds.

This practice is a version of the “Unifying Meditation” adapted and led by John. It gives you a container for feeling, releasing and expressing your deepest wound around your father. You will alternate between embodying and expressing everything you are holding onto and then becoming your father, responding to your expression of your deepest wound. It ends with a movement practice to reintegrate, and an embodied stance to free both of you.

Set your practice space intentionally so you are alone and feel comfortable expressing whatever comes through you (i.e. screaming, crying, stomping, etc.). You may want to light candles and play sacred music or mantra prior to stepping into the practice. We also recommend giving yourself time after the practice to reintegrate before moving into any major tasks or obligations.

If you feel ready to begin the process of reconciling with the Masculine, this 15-minute practice will create a powerful opening.
