Many times, she is not willing to receive, so she closes down and conception is not possible. The issue can also be the stress that she receives from her man, together with the sperm. It is very interesting to observe, how women are really function as flowers, either opening or closing her flower. In order to receive, we need to open to love. Many times we close down and try to force what we want to create. We do tings in a seemingly appropriate way and tend to forget that we cannot control the birth process. Being vulnerable; allowing ourselves to be open on all levels, can be scary, so we need to have discernment about when to fully open up or just on one level. And this is not an easy task. So when you allow yourself to open up and receive, you need to be able to hold what is given. Gestation period is crucial here. A vessel with holes in it cannot hold water. That is why nurturing of the planted seed is so important for woman. And what I come across so frequently are women who are impatient, they plant a tree and they want it to be full grown up tree the very next morning with fruits hanging from the branches. We tend to forget that it takes 9 month for a baby to grow up so that it can be born. Many times in her impatience woman gets the seed out of the soil too soon and destroys the germ. Woman nourishes with her love, her wisdom, and her light, which come all the way into creation from inner, spiritual dimensions. She nourishes through her own being, not doing. Woman needs to be in touch with her body, fully embodied, to allow love and energy to flow through her body. Woman is a vehicle for life to nourish itself. 11
