Are you this woman?

“Woman is the Creator of the Universe, the Universe is her form.
Woman is the foundation of the world....
There is no prayer equal to a woman,
There is not, nor has been, nor will be any yoga to compare with a woman,
no mystical formula nor asceticism to match a woman” (Shakti-Sangama Tantra II.52)

 “A man should meditate upon his female companion
As an embodiment of your [Vajrayogini’s] form,
Until intense practice produces
Clear, direct vision...
He should continuously worship Vajrayogini…
With palms pressed together.
He should gaze, touch and contemplate [her]…
Physically if he can, or mentally and verbally if he cannot…
I am identical to the bodies of all women, and
There is no way that I can be worshipped
Except by the worship of women…
 
 
Women are heaven, women are dharma (truth); women are the supreme fire of transformation. Women are Buddha; women are the sangha (community); women are the Perfection of Wisdom...”
(Candamaharosana-tantra, circa 8th century CE)
Are you this woman?  
Knowing or not, every woman has the potential to become a Goddess.  Tantra and tantric bodywork is potentially the best pathway to help a woman in the quest to reclaim her unique perfect divine femine self and regain her  status as a Goddess.
To phrase it differently - tantra challenges a woman to recognise her own divinity, while it requires a man to purify his vision and approach women with a deferential behaviour...
