When Women Heal Their Hearts
Sunday September 19, 2010




Christine Page is an MD and author, who has written about the crisis we're going through as a journey to the heart of the Great Mother. It's a momentous time, she says, to realign ourselves with the natural cycles, through accepting this as a time of death, so a new way of living can be born.

She talked about cycles, and her advice for embracing change, in an interview with alchemist Jay Weidner and Sharron Rose, author of the Path of the Priestess. Jay Weidner and his partner-wife Sharron Rose created the movie, 2012 Odyssey, a personal investigation of what the prophecies are all about. In this interview, though, they talk a lot about what people are going through, and offer words of wisdom.

Dr. Page said, "There are things that are going to fall away naturally at this time - friendships, a job, anything that is held on to through pain, or shame or fear now needs to be cleared. So we can truly understand the love that's here for us. It's not some soupy love, but love of union, which we're all seeking."

Page's work centers on how women have traditionally been the keepers of the wisdom of cycles -- seasonal, planetary, emotional, and psychic. "Women have lost their cycles, their way of connecting to the natural cycles," she says. This in turn influences whether children live in awareness of cycles, or are disconnected. And how men relate to women, and both move with the seasons.

Women's health is suffering, especially the heart, as women are cut off from heart intelligence. Says Dr. Page, "When I was a med student 30 years ago, we never saw young women have heart attacks before the menopause, and now we have young women having them at 26, 27." She adds, "My native American friend says that a thousand years of peace will come when women heal their hearts."

Her advice for these crazy challenging times? Simplify your life; become more mindful of working with the Earth (gardening); Follow your heart, listen to your intuition. Many women find it easy to remember the cyclical through the monthly cycle. The seasons and the Sun's journey is another way.

Also to celebrate what you're doing, so that joyful vibe is felt by the Earth and all living beings. And conjuring the underworld journey of Pluto in Capricorn, Pages says, "Clear out psychic, deep caverns where we've held so much fear. If it was created by the great mother, there's nothing to hide from."

The Bottom Line


This must-have book on 2012 by Christine Page frames the coming alignment, and what we're experiencing Now, as a journey to the Source. It's a return to direct communion with the Divine Feminine. Page offers wisdom about how to encounter this great death and rebirth mystery, and what her sage says, a dissolving of what we've known. The story of this spiraling into the dark is told using the ancient myths of the Moon, and the Zodiac as the Hero's journey. Page encourages us to see this time as a chance to be light bearers of a brand new creative cycle.

Guide Review - 2012 and the Galactic Center

This book leapt out at me on the store shelf, and I got an undeniable Charge of This is it! I know when that happens, it's the Next Big Thing for my own growth. It's been challenging (in a good way) to read, because it's a real perception alterer. We're invited to see that we're eternal beings at the end of a 26,000 year cycle. As we near 2012, there's a quickening process, with the chance to glean the gems of our eternal Selves. Sounds intense...and yet, it resonates with a deep inner knowing. She writes about unity or Christ consciousness, the rise of the Sacred Feminine, and the fusion of Duality. These give the book a "full circle" feel; that we've been prepared for this moment, as consciousness has changed.

She illustrates this process with stories, we strengthen the Ka, or light body, as Jesus did, and we become immortal. She weaves in threads from alchemy, past lives, astrology, the shamanistic vision of the Mayans and the images of the Great Mother. She has distilled a whole lot of ancient wisdom here, in a way that invites elevation of consciousness in the reading of it.

It begins with Page as a seeker in the desert; a wise sage there invites her to see that we're being drawn closer to the heart of the cosmos. He tells her All dreams and ideas arise from a primal source often described as the Great Mother or ocean of possibilities, and it is to here that our creations will return eventually to fulfill their destiny.

It's an encounter with the Dark Goddess and the death aspect of the cycle. But there's also the promise of growing into who we're meant to be, through conscious creation, healing, and being in the Now. This book inspires the reader to remember and learn from the many Selves across time. It helps to see the End of the World as a dramatic, momentous part of an eternal cycle.
