Another {way| method} {women| ladies| females} can {heal| recover} is through {identifying with| relating to} a {powerful| effective} {feminine| womanly} archetype. The story of the Goddess Inanna {emphasizes| highlights| stresses} empowerment. As a {feminine| womanly} {aspect| element} of cosmic and human powers, the Goddess Inanna is {dual| double} in character and manifests the {full| complete} {gamut| range} of human {potential| capacity}. In one sense she is {Mother Earth| Environment}, her {concern| issue} and {caring for| taking care of} others is marked by her rescue and tender care of the hulluppu-tree. She manifests Gods {gifts| presents} for {mankind| humanity} and stands strong and {confident| positive} in an effort to do this. In another sense, she represents the {capacity| capability} in every human being to triumph over {difficult| challenging| tough| hard} times and {continually| constantly| continuously} {achieve| accomplish| attain} fuller expressions of {Divine| Magnificent} {glory| magnificence| splendor}.

{Women| Ladies| Females} are {taking a stand| deciding} and {reclaiming| recovering} their {historical| historic} virtues {because| since| due to the fact that} it is our primal nature. This intrinsic nature is instinctual survival. {We all| All of us} {want to| wish to} continue our {human race| mankind} and {survive| make it through| endure}. This {is a part| belongs} of who we are. It {may| might} be {automatic| automated} or unconscious, {but| however} the {sooner| quicker| faster| earlier} we {recognize| acknowledge} it, the {better| much better} off we will be. {Women| Ladies| Females} have a {great| fantastic| terrific| excellent} {capacity| capability} to {connect with| get in touch with} nature and to a Divine source.

In Inanna's story, she is a {young woman| girl} who braves the {forceful| powerful| strong} flood waters of the Euphrates River and {saves| conserves} the "tree of life." Our own modern-day "tree of life" is hanging by a thread. {Many people| Lots of people| Many individuals} are {beginning| starting} to {recognize| acknowledge} this {based on| based upon} the {current| present| existing} uprisings in the Middle East and the {recent| current} natural catastrophes-namely Japan.

What if we had some {way| method} of {preventing| avoiding} this from {occurring| happening| taking place}? {What| Exactly what} would this {look like| appear like}? This {could| might} {look like| appear like} the {beginning| start} of Inanna's story when she brings the {ragged| rough} cedar tree to her holy garden. As a {recourse| option}, this {signifies| represents| symbolizes} a {need to| have to} {start| begin} {connecting with| getting in touch with} {humanities| liberal arts} inner {feminine| womanly} nature.

When I {mention| discuss| point out} the {feminine| womanly}, I am not referring {only| just} to women-I am {referring to| describing} both {men and women| males and females}. {Women| Ladies| Females} and {men| guys| males} both {contain| include| consist of} {feminine| womanly} and {masculine| manly} energy. These {two| 2} energies exist {simultaneously| at the same time| concurrently| all at once} within each {human being| human| person}. {However| Nevertheless}, {very few| few} {of us| people} {utilize| use} our inner {feminine| womanly} nurturing nature. Inanna represents a {woman| lady| female} who {contains| includes| consists of} a balance of {masculine| manly} and {feminine| womanly} {aspects| elements}. She is strong and empowered. She {takes action| acts| does something about it}. {Moreover| Furthermore| Additionally}, Inanna's {myth| misconception} {tells| informs} us she {is willing| wants} to {rescue| save} the tree and has {patience| persistence| perseverance} to {nurture| support} the tree. In our {modern| contemporary| modern-day} world, we {need to| have to} {move forward| progress| move on} and acknowledge the Divine {feminine| womanly}. We {must| should| need to} {recognize| acknowledge} this Divinity within ourselves. {Very much| Quite} like {Mother| Mom} Teresa is revered for her {feminine| womanly} qualities of nurturing and caring, {women| ladies| females} too {should| ought to| must| need to} be valued for their {innate| inherent| natural} {skills| abilities} of {loving| caring} and leading their {families| households}.

{Women| Ladies| Females} are {beginning| starting} to {recognize| acknowledge} their inner {feminine| womanly} qualities and there is a {recent| current} {trend| pattern} of {women| ladies| females} valuing the {importance| significance| value} of self-care. {Mothers| Moms} who {care for| take care of| look after} their {families| households} are {coming of age| maturing} to {realize| recognize| understand} that it is {okay| alright| fine| all right} to {take some time| take a while| spend some time} {for themselves| on their own}.

{Women| Ladies| Females} will {begin| start} to {lead the way| blaze a trail} in their {family| household}'s health and in their {family| household}'s set of values. If a {woman| lady| female} is healthy in mind, body and spirit, she boasts a healthy {family| household}. If a {woman| lady| female} is unhealthy, {however| nevertheless}, the {family| household} {is subject to| goes through| undergoes} {shadow| watch} {aspects| elements} that {easily| quickly} {trickle| drip} from generation to generation. If the family {household| home} is of mind, body and spirit, the {children| kids} {pick up on| detect} this and it sets the stage for their {perceived| viewed} {values| worths}. A {man| guy| male} who {criticizes| slams} his {wife| spouse| partner| other half| better half} in front of his {children| kids} leads his {family| household} to {believe| think} this is {normal| typical| regular} and continues {creating| producing| developing} {turmoil| chaos}. On the other hand, a {man| guy| male} who is raised by an empowered {female| woman} will naturally {generate| produce| create} a {balanced| well balanced} {family| household}.

The only {way| method} {women| ladies| females} will make a {difference| distinction} in the trajectory of our {human race| mankind} is to {stand up for| defend} {what| exactly what} they {know| understand} {is true| holds true} in their hearts. {Furthermore| Additionally| Moreover| In addition}, they can reunite with their primal, {innate| inherent| natural} {instincts| impulses}. {Women| Ladies| Females} can honor the {magnificence| splendor| greatness| majesty} of their {feminine| womanly} cycles and {embrace| accept| welcome} the {continuous| constant} {change| modification} in their bodies. {Women| Ladies| Females} {should| ought to| must| need to} not {be ashamed| repent} of their {menstrual cycle| menstruation} or {try to| attempt to| aim to} stop it through {birth control| contraception} injections.
