Interview with Reverend Misa

That’s what we’ll be talking about today with Reverend Misa Hopkins, Spiritual Director of the New Dream Foundation, dedicated to awakening through the Sacred Feminine.

Thank you Reverend Misa for being with us to answer some of our questions about the Sacred Feminine and its significance in our lives.

Today we are going to explore this question: What is the Sacred Feminine and why is it important? So let’s start with the first half of that question—

You can think of the Sacred Feminine in this way. It embodies these qualities:

Stillness
Compassionate Love
Receptivity
Intuition
Darkness
Limitless capacity to lovingly hold all of life’s potential

Think of the vastness of space, in which all of the planets, super novas, suns—all of life emerges. Combine that vast space with limitless love and you have the vibratory essence of the Sacred Feminine.


Why is it important in our lives today?

Let’s contrast this with the Sacred Masculine for an even clearer understanding. The Divine Masculine embodies these qualities:

Action—speed
Ecstatic Love
Expression
Knowledge
Light
Limitless capacity to lovingly hold the expression of life’s potential

Masculine energy is wonderful and necessary for our existence. Yet, in the world we live in today, we experience excessive amounts of masculine energy and without the balance of the Sacred Feminine, we have serious problems.

Without balance in the Sacred Feminine, we experience some symptoms such as:

We achieve ourselves to death. We have a driving desire to achieve that is not balanced with adequate rest. We all know people that have needed to quit their jobs or have ended up in the hospital because they were doing too much. Because we value achievement more than rest, we make ourselves ill.

We use knowledge to make decisions, while ignoring our intuition. As a result we end up making decision that are logical, but not necessarily in alignment with who we are.

We act without considering all reasonable potential outcomes, and so we damage ourselves and mother earth, because we don’t reflect and consider the long-term effects of our choices.

We become invested in being right and make others wrong. This occurs because the Sacred Masculine is like the light piercing the darkness. It moves with a path. It knows itself as that path. So when we make a choice, that is our path and without the energy of the Sacred Feminine which holds all possibilities in love, we may not see the validity of other possibilities and choices.

We accept the belief that the end justifies the means. If we consider ourselves as light moving through space, we have a sense of moving through face, and because we are moving, we assume we must be going somewhere. Therefore, where we are going must be very important. In fact, we might think that the end, or where we are going, if there even really is an end, is more important that the present moment and what we are experiencing right now. The Sacred Feminine helps us realize that the journey itself and this moment are equally important as where we might be going.

The Sacred Masculine is a wonderful energy, but without the Sacred Feminine, we do no experience balance and we create problems.


So the Sacred Feminine isn’t just about women?

Not at all. It is a vibratory energy that lives within all of us. The capacity to be still and compassionate, as well as the ability to take action lives in men and women.

Together, with these two distinct energies, we experience Divine Union. We are able to express our love in action, but also in quiet compassion. We are able to make choices based upon knowledge, and also intuition. We are able to speak and we are able to listen. We are able to give, and also able to receive. Women and men need both energies to live a balanced life.

Why do we struggle?

When we are struggling many of us are experiencing the fear that there is not enough love or no love. Because this is so uncomfortable, we try to fix things. We try to fix the people around us or the world around us so that we will feel better. Sometimes we become very hard and angry with ourselves as we attempt to fix ourselves.

But we don’t want to be fixed. And we certainly don’t want other people telling us what we should or shouldn’t be doing, especially if they think something is wrong with us.

However, when we are witnessed in our suchness and recognized as we are; when someone listens to us in compassion, recognizing that we have made choices we regret and choices we are proud of, and for the most part are doing our best, then we experience that there is enough love. Our fears dissolve and we are at peace. All that is left is the awareness that we are love.

When that happens, we are spiritually and emotionally ready, and we naturally emerge in a new and loving expression of ourselves. This becomes action—or the expression of the Sacred Masculine—based in love, rather than fear.

For many of us what is most missing personally and globally is compassion (the Sacred Feminine)—being witnessed and loved as we are without anyone attempting to change us.

In true compassion, we become the change we are seeking.

It is the missing ingredient for balance on the planet.



How does the Sacred Feminine end the struggle?

Think of a young child running to their mother after they have been injured. Children are often stretching beyond reasonable limits, so they often get hurt.

The child runs to her/his mother and what is the first thing they want? They want to be held. They want to experience compassion.

The child does not want to hear they are bad or have done something wrong or should have done it differently—at least not yet. They simply want to be held and witnessed in compassion with what they are experiencing in this moment.

Once they feel loved again, they are ready for a band-aid or to hear about how they could have done things differently so they won’t get hurt again.

That is the Sacred Feminine. When we are held in compassion long enough, the blocks, fears, and limits dissolve. All that remains is awareness of yourself as limitless love, and from that awareness you are ready to make change.


Reverend Misa, you offer monthly videos of teachings about the Sacred Feminine, the Sacred Masculine, and Divine Union. Would you give us some specifics about what you share?

Because this concept is so new to us, I teach people how to hold properly.

First we learn how to hold properly. There are ways to do this safely that create freedom and there are ways to do it that only increase your struggle:

Then you learn how to hold yourself—your wounds, desires, thoughts and feelings, so that you can be present to yourself without judgment or attachment.

You’ll learn how to hold people that may seem like an enemy or someone that you are conflict with. There is a very different way to hold someone in this position.

You'll learn how to become the receptive space in which your dreams, desires and intentions can truly manifest.

You’ll learn how to hold the archetypal energies, which is particularly important for people that are very sensitive or are empathic because they may be picking up energy from the planet.

We’ll also explore what I call the Divine Union of the Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine and how that union can bring joy and ease in our journey of awakening.

We’ll explore in depth the distinctions Between the Sacred Masculine and Sacred Feminine and how those unique energies play out and can ultimately benefit our lives.

You’ll learn how to experience the unknown safely, because for many people the energy of the Sacred Feminine is unfamiliar.

And you’ll learn what you can do when you feel stuck, because most of us feel stuck, confused or lost at some point in our journey of awakening.

The sessions help you release the struggles to experience greater balance and serenity.

Thank you Misa.

I’m not familiar with any other resource like this, and I can assure you Reverend Misa’s approach is both accessible and deep.
