As a woman living in this modern society, I have been subject to mental conditioning which impresses that having body hair is repulsive and not lady-like. Over the past few years I have been on a quest to completely deprogram from the mental and social conditioning that goes on in our modern society. My journey has led me to self-love and acceptance, to releasing feelings of guilt and shame and among other things it has led me to stop shaving the hair off my body. I have realized since that constantly removing hair is a state of war with the self. It's an act of fighting against natural process which is a never-ending battle to present the self in a way which is not its natural state. Part of the process of developing unconditional self-love is a process of acceptance: Acceptance of the physical body, our emotional, mental and spiritual selves, and ultimately our self as a whole being of divine light.
Since stopping shaving I have felt a greater sense of peace and love within and for myself and my body temple. I have ended the war with myself which goes on in every western woman for the sole purpose of reaching some unreachable societal ideal of beauty perfection. We are constantly trying to become something we are not and it creates a disharmonious relationship with our innermost self.
Another huge step in this process has been to have confidence in my body in its natural state, which does have hair, and have my partner love and accept me for that as well. Although it may have been a startling transition at first, it doesn't bother him whatsoever now and he doesn't consider me any less beautiful because I choose not to shave.
All in all I feel this is an important step for every woman to take in regaining the goddess power even if then you decide you simply like to shave. You'll be surprised at how liberating it makes you feel! But don't continue to engage in body warfare just for the sake of societal acceptance and that you don't feel you'll be seen as attractive if you leave your body to its natural progressions. We are beautiful perfect beings in the eyes of our Creator. To love and accept our bodies as a divine creation is the most powerful way we can give thanks for our existence.
Happy Hair Growing!
