Life's great challenge, Marion Woodward says on Holding the Tension of Opposites, is in developing an integration between the spirit and body. From this integration there arises a divine "tension" allowing for a new consciousness to unfold.

Marion Woodman's language is so clear.

It was a joy listening to her presentation and her answers to questions from the audience. I learned so much.

Marion Does it Again!

Recorded in the seminar format it was given in, this is a very powerful talk. I'm only just beginning to explore Marion Woodman and in the last year, I have come back to all of her talks/books several times. Each listen has a gem I've taken away to integrate into my life. With each integration, the same talk has the next piece to grow into. I love how she explores the idea of holding the tension of these opposing forces and the growth lies in staying with that conflict. This was especially profound for me when I'm tempted to procrastinate. It has made a remarkable difference in how I respond to that tension - I now remind myself that's where the work lies and bam! something changes and makes staying with that tension a tad bit more bearable. It has also helped with my sugar addiction!

Amazing! Spoke directly to my core.

She was able to capture in her dynamic words I have written about, stormed about, and struggled through... our shared human suffering, and the beauty that's right in the eye of it. She was able to bring to life our human dialects, the balance and tension of the feminine and masculine, And how all of this fits into the spiritual crisis of addiction. This is short, bed completely packed full of wisdom.

This makes sense why the division.

All dysfunction begins from the Root, a ROOT OF ALL EVIL. it's a wonder why we have more atheists in our world evil today. The dysfunctional story of Adam-and-Eve was nothing but a lie. Think about it we were lied about Adam-and-Eve to there is a Santa Claus, a tooth fairy, and even a Easter Bunny. And now we learn that it was all because of an ego, An ego so strong That it became so intimidated by the feminine side. Still today we face a gender issue, But in reality it is still an ego issue. It explains why the division we are facing today.

This was SO profound!

Marion Woodman packs a punch in such a short reflection. I know I will be listening to this over and over again. She is such a profound author, as she speaks at the way we get caught in polarization and can’t move forward in our personal lives, and in our community life. So good.
