Bodybuilding Motivation



"What is it that fixates women of the last two decades to an ideal of body perfection by a standard long held by men? Within the last decade women have accepted the inherent disrespect of their wombs by referring to the growth of their child in their bodies as a baby bump. There is no outcry about it, so apparently the essence of a woman doesn't matter beyond her body's accessibility, and chances of getting laid, married or admired? 

It is an odd contradiction in the face of a young girl coming up in a time when direction is governed by fears of not being acceptable, or having a cavalier attitude towards standards of being, character, power and divinity. It is no longer an American distinction. We've carried this irreverence to other countries with missionary fervor, and altered cultures the world over for a very long time. Having been successful in this we somehow feel we cannot or do not have any responsibility in this transition from the ideal to the crude. Western women have for centuries been chattel from the perspective of European histories. We Africans and Native people puzzled over the demands of such a belief and paradigm over the centuries of contact. 

Today, it is something every group in the U.S. is struggling with. Without proper tools, and the advantage of the training a warrior receives the power of conformity is greater than the truth of one's authenticity. Another generation of women are coming of age disconnected from the Sacred Powers of their Wombs, and another generation of boys will never enjoy the discovery of being inside of and a part of the balancing forces of Sacred Women. 

What is yours and what is my spiritual responsibility? is the next question to ask and answer in the mirror before us!"  - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 2.28.14
