Entering Through the Upset: A Spiritual Practice

A key insight shared is the concept of 'entering through the upset,' which emphasizes prioritizing one’s felt experiences as a woman. This approach encourages individuals to acknowledge their emotions, especially during moments of disturbance, rather than seeking validation through external circumstances. By embracing these feelings and redirecting attention inward, one can cultivate self-connection and understanding. This practice invites women to commit to honoring their emotional landscape and to become proactive in navigating their personal journeys rather than responding reactively to potentially overwhelming situations.
