Embracing Your Divine Self

In western society today it's okay to admit that women are Goddesses. This, in itself, implies that the power of The Source may not be solely masculine. In essence, this power contains All That Is, but as a woman, you express it through your Goddess Self. This part of yourself is always there when you feel abandoned or alone to give you comfort. Your Goddess Self is standing firmly beside you when you face a major challenge, sharing her strength and support. Your Goddess Self opens the doors to Truth and Understanding. She is the essence of all that is Love. Look in the mirror. Stare deeply into your own eyes and you will see her reflected back at you.

When you need to get in touch with your inner being, an exercise in guided imagery can help you make the transition from your everyday thinking to heightened awareness. Take a few minutes to make this journey. Before you begin, find time to be alone. Sit or lie down in a comfortable position in a place that feels safe to you. Take three deep breaths. With each breath, release the tension from your body as you exhale. As you inhale, fill yourself with energy, light and inner calm. Then, close your eyes, and take one more relaxing breath.

Imagine that you are a young priestess, preparing yourself to enter the sacred rites of purification which will give you courage and vision for the challenges ahead of you. You know that the experiences of life will require you to stand up for yourself and your ideals. In preparation for your ritual, feel yourself being cleansed. You are dressed in beautiful robes and a necklace of platinum and rubies is placed around your neck. You hear the music for the ritual dance playing in the background, and as you emerge from your dwelling, lead the line of others who will join you in the dance. You begin the motion around the circle. As the energy builds, you dance into the center of the circle. Feel yourself being transported into another realm. As you rise above the earth, your vision is clear and your heart is strong. When you arrive into the new dimension, you see a fabulously beautiful creature who seems to float above you. This creature smiles and gestures for you to follow. Fascinated by the creature, you follow along. You are taken to a space which is filled with rainbow colors of light, and as you step into the light, you feel your mind opening to a powerful awareness. Through this awareness you experience a true sense of calm, clarity and understanding. Your experience of allowing your consciousness to be permeated with this light reminds you that you are always capable of experiencing a heightened level of awareness.
