This week on I Am Rising.
Calling a Goddess.
So often when we think of a goddess,
We have this image in our minds of beautiful long flowing hair,
A strong and bold posture,
An energy of poise,
Grace,
And even courage.
Some with elegant gowns,
Others with armor embodying their inner light warrior.
Some as a high priestess,
With a crown,
Headpiece,
Or veil to depict their royalty and demonstrate their power.
And we may even see light emanating in,
Through,
And around them.
It tends to be a vision of something supernatural.
Yes,
Of course,
That's one aspect.
But a true goddess,
The energy and embodiment of the divine feminine,
It's you and it's me.
She carries the darkest moments of her pain and suffering,
Her insecurities and doubts,
Her anger,
Rage,
And passion about what she knows and feels to be unjust.
Her agonizing moments of grief that brings her to her knees,
Her deep wounds that are often paralyzing.
She has frustrations,
Seeming failures.
She's holding her deepest fears.
Because yes,
The dark,
The dark is her greatest treasure.
It's what makes her real,
Raw,
Authentic.
It's how we identify with her and truly know her.
And in the midst of all of this,
She rises again and again and again.
This goddess energy unites us.
She reminds us of our inner strength.
She makes us whole as she perseveres no matter what she is faced with.
She helps us integrate our power and our worth.
And all that she asks is that we honor and love ourselves through whatever is in front of us.
It's not about fixing.
It's not about changing or even releasing.
It's about allowing,
Making room,
And fully accepting every aspect of who we are.
All she requires is for us to say yes.
Are you ready to say yes to the goddess within you seeking to emerge?
Close your eyes.
Place your hands on your heart and just feel.
Where are you pushing?
Trying too hard even.
Maybe you're overdoing it or over thinking it,
Over analyzing.
Take a breath into this new moment.
Where can you pull back just a little and listen?
Feeling the energy of your heart.
Tell your heart that you're listening.
I am listening.
I am listening.
I feel you and I am listening.
As you slow down,
Feel the beating of your heart,
Feel the rise and fall of your breath.
What choice can you make right now to serve your heart?
Whatever is pressing on you,
Whatever is weighing you down,
Can you just pause,
Breathe more deeply,
Become still?
And whatever comes up,
Can you love and honor it,
Honor this present moment,
And love and honor yourself?
This creates space.
Feel the space that you are creating right now.
Notice that you have stepped into that space by coming into alignment with the now.
Listen to your heart.
Feel its messages coming through you and as you.
This sacred now is showing you how to let go,
How to trust,
How to allow and receive rather than using so much effort.
Running down rather than running in circles and draining yourself,
Notice this ease.
Feel this liberation as you relax all of the doing.
Become the being.
This is your goddess.
This is who you are.
She has been waiting here all along and there is nothing that you need to do but feel her rising in you effortlessly and say yes.
I accept.
I receive.
I allow.
I embrace my inner goddess and allow my very spirit and soul to lead me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
