STEP INTO YOUR POWER BY AWAKENING YOUR GODDESS ENERGY: 3 AREAS OF YOUR LIFE YOUR GODDESS ENERGY IMPACTS
In a world that values masculine traits such as assertiveness, competitiveness and material achievements, there is an empowering quality that often goes overlooked: Our Goddess energy.
Goddess energy is the underlying feminine strength we all possess. This energy is magnetic. It does not chase, it attracts. It is soft and nurturing but make no mistake, it exudes incredible strength. Our goddess energy is like a river whose flow might seem gentle but eventually reshapes even the hardest rocks.
In society, a lot of us grew up with an emphasis on our outer world. We were taught to constantly seek superficial satisfaction and to constantly be “doing”. The focus on these traits are all of our masculine energy which is heavily action orientated. Masculine energy yearns for praise, acknowledgement and worldly power. In comparison, goddess feminine energy is about connecting to our inner world and parts of ourselves we are often told to keep hidden. When we are out of balance with both energies, it results in inner conflict. Truthfully, neither energy is better than the other but a healthy balance of both creates harmony.
Femininity can be linked to our goddess energy as there is an emphasis on “being” rather than “doing”. This energy creates abundance, brings forth life and allows for inspiration plus balance in our daily lives. When we tap into this empowering part of ourselves we embody intuition, compassion, love for all, reception, wisdom, creativity, sensuality and fierce softness. Stepping into your goddess energy leads to empowerment in many areas of life. In this article, we will look at three of these important areas and give you some tips on awakening this power.
Health
Stepping into our Goddess energy invites us to turn inwards and listen to our body’s needs, which helps us make health-aligned choices. The warm, gentle glow of goddess energy also helps us heal emotional wounds and reduce stress, leading to true long-term health.
How to step into your Goddess energy in the area of health:
- Rest: Allow yourself to receive by making rest an important part of your routine. Proper rest equips us to handle different tasks and gives our body and mind time to heal itself. There is so much power in stillness, so take some time and do nothing!
- Blessed hydration: Make the simple, daily act of drinking water a powerful tool by praying over the water and infusing it with positive intentions. A Japanese scientist - Dr. Masaru Emoto - carried out studies with water where he concluded that speaking positively over water pleasantly changes its molecular structure, in contrast to speaking negatively over water which chaotically changes the structure. He also concluded that toxic water molecules began to change to the molecules found in clean water when prayed over with positive intentions. The human body is made of about 50%-75% water. Consequently, Imagine how frequent prayer over our water can aid in increasing our overall vibration.
- Inner smile meditation: Focus your attention inwards and send positive, loving energy (i.e. an “inner smile”) to different parts of your body, including your organs, muscles, and even your emotions.
Beauty
Awakening your goddess energy means radiating a natural beauty which shines out from within. We not only become more self-assured but gain a presence that empowers those around us, too. It’s a powerful and magnetic beauty that very few people can resist!
How to step into your Goddess energy in the area of beauty:
-
Mirror affirmations: Practice Intentionality through mirror affirmations. Look at yourself in the mirror and repeat affirmations about how much you love, value and appreciate yourself and life (even if it initially feels awkward!) TIP: If you are just getting started on mirror affirmations or intentionality, utilize a good vibe product to guide you! Lippie Tintz are a simple way to practice intentionality while doing your everyday makeup. Grab your favourite tint, think of an intent + affirmation combo and repeat these to yourself before, during and after applying your tint. If you can’t think of an intent +affirmation combo, use the default combo for the specific tint. Remember, there is no wrong or right intent +affirmation combo. It just has to resonate with you.
- Present self care: Self care is a huge way to show how important you are to yourself. Self care can range from pampering methods to beauty upkeep. Whether it be a spa day or a nail day, go through your self care methods while being as present as possible. Be in the moment, hold off on future obligations and notice all the tiny little quirks about you, your environment and your grooming procedures.
- Sensuality through movement: Take up yoga or dance, and get to know your body sensually and lovingly. Move your body and bask in your grace without judgement.
Relationships
Goddess energy improves our relationships by encouraging emotional awareness, empathy and authenticity. We also attract better relationships when we step into empowerment because when we know our worth, we naturally set healthy boundaries.
How to step into your Goddess energy in the area of relationships:
- Prayer/Meditation: We pray for our wellbeing. Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, take a couple of minutes everyday to talk to “source”. Give thanks, ask for guidance and whatever you need. You can also include a mindfulness meditation before or after your prayer if you wish. Prayer/Meditation is a great way to ground and connect deeper with oneself.
- Relationship gratitude lists: Write gratitude lists about past relationships and what you learned from them. This will help you release any lingering negativity and find closure. Similarly, write gratitude lists for the people in your life right now. Studies show that expressing gratitude allows us to see the positives in our life as well as attract more positive experiences.
- Love letters: Write love letters to yourself, as if written by someone who deeply cherishes you. Express how much you love yourself and appreciate the beautiful qualities you have. Remember that you should always be there for yourself, even if the whole world is against you. Writing letters to yourself is a great way to remind yourself of all your lovely characteristics.
Health, beauty and relationships are three important areas that have the ability to positively impact the quality of our lives. Incorporate the helpful tips into your life today because by stepping into the warm and powerful glow of your inner goddess energy, you heal and empower yourself in a truly authentic way. When we heal, like a domino effect we heal those around us and send ripples of good energy throughout the world.
