My name is Eleanor McDonald and I'm a spiritual teacher. So this is Meet Your Inner Goddess. And this is about stepping into your true power. And I work with archetypes. I work with different healing aspects of you that you can connect with to help you realize your power and to be able to create the life that you want. So that's really what we're focusing on today. So take yourself from spinning your wheels emotionally, Physically, Mentally, To being focused and being in your power. And ready to realize your goals. So that's the transformation we're working with. What's standing between you and your personal power? What it means to be connected to your inner goddess and why it's important. And then the last piece is three ways your inner goddess helps you to express your true creativity and realize your goals. So I'll just give you a brief history of me. As a child, I was very sensitive and I grew up in a volatile, Emotionally explosive kind of an environment. Unfortunately, Parents were not the happiest people in the world and they didn't have a great relationship. So I grew up in an environment where there was a lot of extremely volatile emotions, Like anger and rage, And a lot of just blaming other people, Blaming each other and, You know, Taking it out on me. So there was a lot of that going on. And as a sensitive child, I internalized obviously all of that to mean that there was something very wrong with me. And it developed into a lot of chronic health issues. Issues, Like chronic digestive issues, Chronic skin issues, Relationship problems, One after the other, Dysfunctional relationships, People-pleasing patterns, Money issues. I moved about 50 times from the age of 18. I would move every three months, Every six months, Every year. I came to a point where I had to say enough is enough, And it was in 2008. I had several different tragedies happen in my space, And I had to go very deep within myself to figure out, You know, What kind of life I wanted to lead and realizing that I had to make some very drastic changes to start living a different type of life. So I found some mentors. I did a lot of very deep healing. I worked the process that I work with now, My framework, And I started to do that and I turned things around. And after really connecting to who I am, My true self, That's the journey that I take people on. Is to connect to who they really are and remember who they really are. We're going to start off with what's standing between you and your personal power. So a lot of people feel overwhelmed by their circumstances. So they feel like every time they maybe step into their power or start to do something that's different or start to become their own true self or to be their goddess self, They start to get thwarted by people who are around them or the people who are around them are extremely negative and will start to bring them down or will start to purposely sabotage what they're doing or get in their way. So circumstances, Negative people. High maintenance people, People who are taking all your energy, All of your time. And I'm not talking about if you have children as like a responsible adult that you need to care for your children. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about people who will literally pull on your energy to the point where you can't function or you don't have time for yourself. This is definitely one thing that is a huge thing that is standing between you and your personal power. And I've seen it time and time again with empaths. Second thing is running away, Feeling that the only option that you have is running away. So my example was I would move every three to six months. This is running away. I really had no coping skills. I had no strategies. I had no way to actually deal with my life. And there's no judgment in any of these things. We just need to highlight the first part of my framework, Which is true awareness. We need to be aware of what is actually going on and what is stopping you from harnessing your personal power. And using it to create what you want. You need to be aware of what's going on without judgment towards yourself. Avoiding. So that's another thing people do as an empath. I've heard this time and time again. I can't go to the mall because I start to feel really sick. I start to feel really tired. I start to get very drained or, You know, Insert any public place. Like I can't go to a music festival. This is what I would hear. I can't go to that place because it feels very negative. I can't go to a family reunion because it feels extremely draining, And it takes me weeks to recover. Okay, This is another thing that gets in the way. Protecting your energy, Having to spend all of your energy protecting yourself, Putting up shields, Spending all your time managing, Protecting your energy, And to the point where you actually don't have any energy left over to get into creation mode to harness your own power, Your goddess energy, Your goddess self. So this is another thing that is very common. Managing healing and controlling your own sensitivity. So this is something that can become a chronic drain on your energy being so focused and almost obsessive. And again, I've been there. Believe me, I've been there obsessively managing and trying to control your sensitivity. What does that look like? It looks like saying, I need to heal my sensitivity. I need to figure out how I can stop being so sensitive, How I can stop being so tired around certain people, How I can stop, Whatever it is, That is not the way that's not going to get you in your power, That is definitely a dead end. And it will just literally drain you of all your energy. And believe me, We're going to talk about things you can do. But these are, These are traps, The traps of an empath that I have discovered through learning and implementing these truths and moving away from the things that are actually going to drain your energy and moving into a way that is going to empower you. Okay, So moving on to the next piece, What it means to be connected to your inner goddess. So let's talk about the inner goddess. Let's talk about that specifically. And why is it important? Okay, When I talk about your inner goddess, What does that mean to you? But the reason I'm asking you is to get this energy flowing. And that's how I work, I start to inquire, And it actually starts to wake up parts of your energy, Which is this process of meeting your inner goddess. To me, The inner goddess is the part of you that symbolizes your power, Your true self, Your higher self, The deep archetypal form within you that is ready to speak to you. That is who you really are, That is wanting to come forward and give you the greatest experience of yourself to bring you back home to who you are, To your remembrance. So your inner goddess is also the place that has all the answers for you. That is your guidance system. What I mean by archetype is this deep, Energetic subconscious infinite part of you that is waiting to connect with you that is waiting to commune with you and give you this beautiful experience that wants to experience life through you and vice versa. So that is a beautiful relationship that you can form. And it has absolutely nothing to do with gender. So when I talk about goddess, I'm not talking about a she or a he. A goddess is a type of energy and you could say the divine feminine, But again, The divine feminine is within a male persona. It is within a female persona. So there's absolutely no exclusionary. What's the word definitions here? So, You know, If you're a man, If you identify as a man, If you identify as a woman, If you don't identify with any gender, If you're gender fluid, It doesn't matter. These energies are not connected to a gender. They're not connected to an experience of a human form. They are connected to your energetic self, Which is beyond all of that, Beyond all the social constructs. So don't feel like you're ever excluded or on the outside of this, Or like, I don't fit into the social norms, You know, A lot of empaths, They experience themselves as very different from the mainstream. And so they often feel like outsiders. They often feel like they are not part of this, That they don't get to experience what a lot of people are talking about. And I'm here to tell you that it's absolutely not true. Everybody is able to experience this and everyone and anyone can tap into this. This is very exciting. I'm feeling my energy lift, The vibration lifting. Feeling this beautiful connection. So if you're feeling this, Perfect. If you're not feeling anything, That's totally fine. It's nothing wrong with you whatsoever. I just wanted to check in with you because I'm feeling an extremely expensive energy right now. What feels like your true self? What feels like your higher self? What feels like that part of you that knows all the answers, That part of you that is home for you? And when you connect in with the inner goddess, It's the feeling of being home. Because really what we're doing is taking a journey back home to ourselves of who we really are, Remembering who. Who you really are. Your power despite what's going on around you, Despite your circumstances, Beyond your circumstances, Beyond the people around you, The people who may be bringing you down and stressing you out and making you feel like everything is negative. This inner goddess connection goes beyond all of that. It helps you to lift and rise above that and to stay anchored in that no matter what is happening around you. And I want to tell you from personal experience and from the clients that I've been working with for over a decade now. This is absolutely possible. It is absolutely possible to be within a container that is negative, That feels chaotic, Distracting, All of the above. Within that container, It is possible to shine your light, To be fully connected to your inner goddess, To be in your true power, To be creating, To be realizing your potential, To be, Say, Writing your book or starting your business or having a thriving life or beautiful connection with yourself. Despite what's going on around you. It is 100% possible and I'm here to tell you. I have lived it and I've seen other people, I've walked other people through this process as well. And I can't remember if John Lennon or somebody said that. It's really about staying sane in an insane world. Okay, And this is what this process is about. Okay, So what it means, The other piece I wanted to make sure that I have with my notes here. Why it's important and the reason we want to be connected to our inner goddess is that you need to be living from who you are and not from your labels, Not from the judgments that have been passed on to you, Not from your fears, Not from your circumstances, Not from your limitations. You need to be living from who you actually are. This is not the only thing that you need to connect to. If someone says, Well, I connect to God. If someone says, I connect to Buddha, I connect to Allah. I want to make sure that you don't feel like. The only thing you're connecting to is your inner goddess. And what about all the other things? What about my spirit guides? What about my spiritual teachers, All of these things? What about the ascended masters, All of that, All of that can be included as well. What I'm saying is the inner goddess represents your true power, Your higher self, Your true self, Whatever you want to call it. So this is like a central core archetypal figure that will help you move into a space of power. That will spur you forward on this journey. This is for empaths who have been maybe praying or doing their affirmations or journaling and feeling frustrated and feeling lost and feeling confused, Distracted, Overwhelmed. This is a gateway to your true creativity and power. That is not the only thing, But it is a very helpful thing and it is what has actually helped me to create what I want and has helped all the clients that I I have worked with as well. So hopefully that makes sense. I don't want to confuse anyone, But I wanted to put in that little caveat there. Okay, Now we're going to move on to the next part three ways your inner goddess helps you express your true creativity and to realize your goals. So when we get so bogged down with negativity with people and their chaos and their drama and other people's emotions and stresses of the world and you name it is going on and you just can't see what's possible. This connection will bring you back to that will show you what is possible. So this is one way that your inner goddess can actually help you. Excuse me, I'm getting hiccups. The energy is strong right now. Okay, So it shows you what's possible instead of what you feel you can do or what is, You know, You're being like you have tunnel vision from the distraction, From the chaos, Everything that's going on in the world, This connection will help you to see what is possible. Does that make sense? Number two. Your inner goddess is your guidance system for your energy. Your inner goddess is going to give you a map. I call it a quest. It's going to show you the map of your life force. It's going to show you your feminine energy. And again, I'm not talking about gender here. You can follow the map. For the source of inspiration. It goes beyond all the shadows, All the doubts, All of the distractions. It takes you on this quest that gives you a map to follow. This is what the inner goddess does and how it helps you express yourself and to realize these goals. Number three, Your inner goddess is your source of your true power and it will guide you every step of the way. So this is similar to number two. But it is the source. When we talk about source, Yes, We're meeting God. Yes, We mean universe. Yes, We mean Allah, Buddha, Whatever it is that you feel very drawn to. It is the root. That you can hang on to. They are the breadcrumbs that lead you back to yourself, Back home to you. It is the source of everything that is within you that is here to express itself. Do you want to connect to your inner goddess or meet your inner goddess for the first time? Maybe you feel like you've never really done that. You've never tapped into who you really are or you've forgotten who you are or you're lost. This is a lot of the empaths I work with. They're having some kind of turning point in their life, Whether it's a divorce or they're in a miserable job. Or they're at a life stage where they're realizing that they're at a crossroads or they're feeling very lost at this turning point, Maybe some health concerns they're having, Maybe you're having some kind of a transition where you just feel really like you need to go back to who you are, You need to take this quest. To access your true power. This is what your inner goddess can help you do. Are you feeling anything in your body? Are you having any insights, Any questions? A lot of times when we start working with this energy, We become very expansive and we start to have what I call the aha moments are coming left, Right and center. We start saying, Wow, Like all of these light bulb moments, Things are just popping off like, Wow, I now I suddenly realized this is what's been going on or now I suddenly have a download or something drops in to tell me. Oh my god, That is what actually was going on. That is what was actually happening for me. So a lot of people may say, I feel so light, I feel so expensive, My heart is opening. That's you connecting to you. Okay, That's you meeting your inner goddess, You're doing it right now. So if you're feeling all of this beautiful expansion, That is you meeting your inner goddess literally right now. And I wanted to mention And going back to this. Protecting your energy, Putting up armor, All of these things to actually try to protect yourself or heal away your sensitivity. I want to give you an alternative. OK, So close your eyes and I want you to go into your heart space. Take a deep breath if you feel good about that just to settle into your body. And expand just intentionally expand your heart energy out as big as the room you're in the city just feeling this beautiful pink energy expanding out into the universe as big as it can possibly go so going past your Your town. Your state or your province, Your country. Wrapping around the world as big as the world, The universe and beyond. This feeling of expansiveness, This is your power right here. So just take a moment to feel this expansiveness. And we can come back into the room. We can still feel expanded. I wanted you to feel that because this is going to prove my point here. You don't need to protect or be afraid or avoid places, People, Things. Because your power is actually in your sensitivity. Your power is in your ability to feel the entire world. Your power is in the ability to feel everything around you. This is what your inner goddess actually represents, This kind of power, Because it's this expansive, Powerful energy that is there for you all the time. And when you expand out like that, You're actually leaning into your sensitivity, You are exhaling, You're letting your own energy, Take up space, You're letting your own self take up space. And you can feel that inner goddess energy is expanding out. That's what she wants you to do. She he no gender there. Wants you to do. Expand out into the world. Take up space. This is how you express yourself. This is how you express your true creativity, Your true power. This is how you create. This is how you get insights. This is how you magnetize to people, Places, And things that you want to create, That you want to expand and bring into your life. This is how you do it. You do not do it by putting up shields. You don't do it by avoiding things and running away. I want you to turn and face inwards, Connect to your inner goddess. This gives me as simple as this expansiveness in your heart. Expand intentionally out into the world and then see how things start to change around you. See what insights you get. So that's a little exercise that you can do at any point in time. It has literally changed my entire life. It has brought in all of the things that I've created for myself by putting myself out into the world, By putting my energy out there by taking up space. By being present, By being bigger, By being me. This is where all your abilities get bigger. Your strength gets bigger. Your physical energy gets bigger. Your ability to manage people around you and you don't even have to manage. That's the wrong word. You're not managing people around you. You're living your life and being you and people around you are actually giving you space because you're so big energetically that they can't even come near you unless they're on the same wavelength as you. So those negative people, The dramatic people, The chaos, They move away from you or they take the invitation for themselves to come up to a higher level, To get bigger, To expand. That's how things change. They will literally change around you. And that's what I was saying earlier about working within the container that you're in. So in other words, If you're with somebody who's very negative, If you're in a family relationship or a loved one or a spouse who is very negative and who drains all your energy, Stay in that relationship unless it's abusive. I don't agree with staying in any kind of abusive relationship. Get help right away. In whatever way you can to get out of that. I'm talking about if they're bothersome, If they're distracting, If they're pulling on your energy, If they are spewing their negativity everywhere. By doing this exercise and being expanded, You send an energetic invitation to them to do the same. So I've seen relationships completely changing. The person becoming like, I can't even believe this is the same person. And I've seen this with my own eyes, My own family relationships. I will say, You know, That's not always working out the way you maybe want it to, Because some people have also dropped out of my life. So that can happen. I will warn you, Living from your inner goddess is bravery. It takes courage. It takes sometimes all the courage that you have to be yourself and to know that you may have to make some changes in your life, That you may have to be uncomfortable, That you may have to have uncomfortable conversations, That you're going to have to leave your old identity behind. These are all things that may happen. It's been my honor to help you to meet your inner goddess, To put you on the path, To help you with this process, And to give you insight from your own true self. Thank you so much and have a wonderful day. Thank you. Bye bye.
