Considerations for choosing your future partner

I listened to a very interesting lecture by Dr. Oleg Torsunov on how to pick a partner to marry, so I thought I could share it with you today.

The psychic power of women

Source

I have been studying the power of women in family life and relationships through the ancient Vedic teachings, by one of it’s teachers – Oleg Tosunov. It has grown to become a huge area of interest for me and something I would like to share with you today.  The Vedas teach us that women are mental leaders of the family, they are the energy keepers within their relationship, marriage and family. This means they control the energy within the relationship. Men have different responsibilities. I don’t know much about that, since I am a woman and realized I should only focus on bettering myself, rather than making sure other people change too.

But we are different to men. We have different feminine duties, and if we can try to fulfill these feminine duties, we will achieve access to certain psychic powers. When we are able to use these feminine powers, we will be given the greatest gift of all – the ability to change our family life, our marriage, and to find happiness.

I believe that each and every one of these powers are difficult to access, and especially to access completely and fully. That is our karmic challenge as women. It is supposed to be hard.

The art of being a Women: What is available to us?

Dear Universe,

You know what I want to see? More resources available to women. For women. About being a woman. In one place.

Have you ever read Men’s Health? I have. And you know what? It is so awesome! It’s interesting, entertaining, and talks about the art of being a man. I couldn’t put it down. Read it cover to cover and thought to myself “I wish this was for women, and about women “

Have you visited: http://artofmanliness.com/?

That’s awesome too.

So, my question is simple and it is this: Why is there so little, if not ANYTHING of this caliber, available to women?

I tried reading Women’s health. It was a disappointment.

 For some reason, magazines for women are limited, watered down, and kind of lame.

I don’t want to read about how to perform an at home bikini wax using candle wax.

I don’t want to read about how to decode a drunken text you receive at 3:00am from the guy you are “kind of seeing”.

I don’t want to read about how to apply blush to your cleavage so it looks like you have bigger breasts (seriously. This actually exists!)

I want something of substance. I want to read something about the art of femininity – the art of being a woman.

There is really nothing available out there for woman.

There is bits and bobs, but nothing really concrete, fundamental or gathered in a focused place such as in a magazine or a website.

There are specific magazines you could buy to learn more about a certain area, such as cooking, You buy a cooking magazine. And that’s all you are going to get. Cooking. But there is more to being a woman than cooking. So then you want to read and research more about parenting and being a mother. So you buy a magazine about being a mama. But there is more to being a woman than being a mom. So then you keep buying different products until you question how many magazine subscriptions do you need to get until you ask yourself “Why the heck isn’t this more easy?”

I would personally love to see some kind of resource available for women, be it through print or through the internet. A place where women can access a plethora of information regarding the values and virtues of being a woman in the 21^st century.

I would like to see the following issues addressed and explored:

-       Etiquette

-       Fashion

-       Dating

-       Personal development

-       Gardening

-       Cooking and baking

-       The art of being a wife

-       Our role as mothers

-       Friendship

-       Health and beauty

-       Sex and intimacy

-       Cleaning

-       Practical advice in regard to caring for your home and family (eg. Tips for cleaning, making pretty things, planning and organizing events such as dinner parties)

-       “Womanly skills”

-       The essential library for women: Books for women to read

-        Spirituality, faith, intuition.

-       Intellectual pursuit

-       Business topics for the modern day career girl

The purpose of this space would be to inspire women to be embrace their role in a feminine way. We will never be, nor can ever be, nor should ever want to be- men. We have our own feminine role to fulfill on this planet – to bring in our nurturing, caring and creative energy into circulation. We should revel in the difference between men and woman, not in a confrontational way, but in a celebratory way.

I, for one, want to learn how to be a woman in a meaningful way.

I want to educate myself about the role of a good wife, a good mother and a good woman in business and in life. I don’t want to hear about what Lindsay Lohan did last weekend.

I want to be inspired, but I also want to gain practical knowledge on how to do certain things. You know, not all of this 1950’s house wife stuff comes all that naturally at first. I would love to have a place that could teach you tips, tricks, hacks, and good habits that all come together to create a powerful and nurturing lady.

Call me old fashioned, but I think while militant feminisms did have a purpose initially in the plight of gender equality, I think too much of it crushes any hope for male chivalry and gentlemanliness (that we as women, ask for, and even at times demand!) – and more importantly, denies us our most fundamental gift as women – that we are women. That we do not need to fight for equality , because we are already equal. That we need to embrace our role and manifest our feminine energy into productive channels.

Being a woman is all encompassing. We ladies have to take care of a lot. We have to be loving wives, active mothers, we have to create a clean and warm home environment, cook meals,  maintain our health,  strive to feel beautiful, organize and plan events, run the household, educate ourselves, run our businesses, work, and amongst all this find the time and energy to pursue our own interests, pleasures and joys.

Woah. That is a lot.

Come on. Help a sister out!

I guess this blog post is part rant, part plea, part suggestion, part contribution, part putting it out there into the universe.

Maybe one day when I am ready for it, I would like to do something about it.

But until then, universe – I am open for new ideas!

I know that this is the kind of project I would follow, learn from, subscribe too, and contribute to whenever I felt I could.

What about you guys? What do you think? Wouldn’t this be a great idea?

If you are a girl, would you benefit from reading something like this? And if you are a man, would you like it if your peach had this kind of information readily available to her? Let me know
