 So once again it's from the Kumar Sambhavam and you're going to absolutely love this one. It says, and so she comes pulling up again and again the girdle of Kesar flowers that are slipping from her hips as she walks. So flower girdles were worn on the hips as it says in the passage but they were made just a little bit larger than your body so that you'd really have to swing your hips to make sure that they wouldn't slip down. So these girdles were actually worn to teach women how to perfect their walk. You know that very sexy swinging of the hips walk? This was how you learned how to do it and the reason that I think that this was such a delightful idea is because I can remember how we were taught to walk when we were younger. You know that very Victorian style of having the book spiled on your head so that your back would be straight and your chin would be high and you're always told that this would teach you how to walk like a lady. The girdles on the other hand were about teaching you how to walk like a woman. This was not about being all controlled and straight and being the proper lady. This was about swinging your hips. It was about owning your body. It was about being aware of your own sensuality. It was literally about the joy of knowing that there are depths of pleasure inside you that are just waiting to be tapped just like every woman should feel. You know I often think I wish we could have grown up like this wearing girdles of flowers around our hips understanding what it feels like to have the curves of our body kissed by fresh fragrant flowers just learning to be visible instead of being taught to be ashamed.
