                              Awakening the Goddess Within

                                              Yantra of The Divine Feminine

A Woman is a symbol of greatness for she possesses the fragrance of exquisite tenderness which
encompasses the whole of humanity. A woman possesses infinite grace, beauty, courage, power
and fame.

She is adored by those who know her, admired by those who seek her and needed by those she
loves. A woman embodies ‘Mother Nature’ with such elegance and poise, yet having the power
to do everything, she is limited in her actions and achievements for she does not know her own
strength.

To me, all women are priceless, for she is a rare gem only found after a long continued search
for beauty in the mist of uncertainty and struggle. She is wise, she is silly, she is pretty, she is
funny, she is calm, she is patient, she is valiant, she is a good listener, she is the devoted friend
and she is love personified.

Whatever her age, whatever title she holds, each woman has the secret of God’s Creation as the
embodiment of the Divine Feminine within her. As the giver of life she creates in her womb the
body that will shelter the soul that she {gives light to} brings forth and gives births to.

That is how priceless we are. That is how much power we own. And that is the reason why we,
the women of this world, need to come together and from our place of power work towards
achieving harmony in our lives and in the lives of those we love.

It is too easy to keep on putting things in the back burner, for as we know, what is left for
tomorrow stays undone. But what is amazing to me is that women of all walks of life have
stopped using their power of creation and their magic and have substituted their grace with
stubbornness.

We play the famous tit for tat game with those we love as if logic could be replaced by lack of
logic. What do you think will happen as a result? Look at your life and the answer is starring at
you right in the face.

Women, we have lost sight of our role in our lives, in our homes, in our communities, in our
society and in our world.   And because of our absence from self, the quality of life is on a
downward spiral.

What is comical is that we expect others to give us what is already ours. We are incapable of
recognizing our own worth and have not learned how to even come close to capturing the
fullness of our true essence but instead of learning how to change the mess we’ve made we keep
on adding more of the same in our every day living.

So how do we about fixing our broken lives? How do we replace the lethargy that has plagued
us for far too long?    We think that cure to our problems lays on a quick trip to the mall were
more ‘stuff’ will be purchased thus keeping our minds occupied while negating ourselves the
right to take a good hard look at our lives and take control of it once and for all.

Why do we do the things we do? Because we have been allowed to get away with it and because
it has become habitual, ingrained in our sub-conscious and act out of impulse not thinking or
knowing that there are consequences to our actions, or lack of them. Simple and clear; you
might not like what I am saying but the truth remains that it has to be said and it remains the
spoken truth.

We all come from good stock. Valiant women have come before us who paved the trails so that
today we could walk them with great ease. Ease is one thing and not doing what only we can do
is something else.

Think of those great women that used their spark of divinity to moved mountains and indeed they
did. But they did much more than such move mountains; they left us a legacy of fortitude and
nobility along with a knowing that we can accomplish anything as long as we remember that we
are the life giver, the bearer of the mace that keeps all things glued, sane, whole alive.

Been a woman should be an honor to those who are, yet if we do not love our job it tends to
reason that no one is going to either, or for that matter give us the merit that we truly deserve.
Any job that is done poorly will have bad consequences and the job of a woman is to awaken the
goddess within her and act from that place of wisdom, courage and might.

As trail blazers these talented and powerful women that came before us inspired others to follow
their lead, building and gaining momentum that broke boundaries set by indifference, fear,
ignorance and limitation. Among those boundaries is something we all have taken for granted,
which is the privilege of casting a vote.

Our older sisters opened many doors so that today’s women would not fall prey to
ignorance or lamination, yet what I see generations later is that even though we’ve evolved and
have become formidable opponents, we have negated to find Mother Nature’s wisdom within
ourselves. And that is an abominable sin.

When our actions are not in harmony with what which we are by nature, we are not         coming
from a place of strength and can only become weaker. Therefore weak are our efforts, no matter
how clever or smart we may think we have become.

The result of our lack of presence in our lives is evident in all that is taking place in our homes,
in our communities, in our society and in our world. But what is more important is that the job
that we are called to do, can only be done by us.

No one else has the knowledge or insight to do what only we, the females of the specie, know
how to do. No one else holds the title of Goddess, no one else on Planet Earth creates magic as
we do and no one else can cure the pain or hurt like we can.

We’ve left our rightful place for too long to the point were sense of belonging is hard to come by
now a days. Look at your communities and you will see that what is taking place is total chaos.
And our only remedy that what is before us is point the finger at each other as if this would solve
our absence. Things like this only take place when the female energy is absent from the equation.

Yes, we have left our post for what ever reason, too many to mention, and as we know everyone is
right. But today I am not here to talk about what we think is right but how to bring about the
changes that are so desperately needed, for in reality, unless we, the women of society, goes
back and takes charge and fix what’s broken in our lives, in our homes, in our communities, in
our society, and in our world, we will all perish.

Goddesses, it is time to wake up and take charge of the task at hand. First we need to start
making changes in our lives, our homes and in the lives of those closest to us; husbands,
children and anyone else who lives under your roof. This should be your top priority.

If we all minded out own stores {business} and left the other person mind their own store
{business} the problem would disappear faster than thinking that we have the solution to the
other person’s problem when ours is still to be corrected.

Once this task is accomplished then we need to start moving outwardly into our communities and
get involved in causes that are service oriented and one that you are passionate about. It serves
no one to get involved in something that you really don’t care for. That is hypocritical, and we
need to be genuine about all that are and do.

Get your entire family involved in your pet project; this involvement makes your nucleus
stronger and more compassionate. Perhaps your children or husband have other interest and
they should also be respected. Perhaps you can all share one of them as a family, but what ever
you do ~ DO SOMETHING TOGETHER!

If changes need to be made, make them. Make changes that will impact lives with goodness so
that the change is effective and has a lasting effect for everyone concerned. Change laws where
possible or work towards changing the laws that are in the books which make no sense or benefit
only the affluent leaving the ones in need going without.

Get together with other lady friends who are as passionate as you and brain storm on projects
that will impact your community. Have weekly, bi- weekly, monthly or quarterly meetings.
Start impacting lives with your sense of purpose.

Create bake sales or garage sales, whatever is best for you as an individual and as a group
member. Donate the proceeds of the sales to a non-for-profit organization that uses the money
to help those in need. Here is the basis for having abundance in your life.

Go out with your lady friends once a month or when ever possible. Make the activity one that is
outside the scope of anything that you do on a daily basis. Make this a meaningful, relaxed and
an honest interchange of energies with your female friends. Be yourself. Be present and be
caring. Above all make this         a moment to remember for everyone in attendance by
remembering who you are and why you are.

Know that when strong women get together to contemplate change for the good of many, our
sister in the spirit come and join us and give us of their blessings and inspire us to pursue higher
grounds. This is a great benefit to have and one that can have a great outcome. They, our sister
in the spirit world, can provide guidance on a project that the group has undertaken and are
unsure of.

If anyone in your community, neighborhood, school or place of work needs help, lend a helping
hand in whatever form you can as far as you are able to. If the situation justifies your
intervention, be the brave one to step up to the plate and propose the solution to the ill. Know
that when something bothers you and a feeling of urgency arises within your being, it is because
you are the one that has the solution and power to fix it, to make it right; SO DO IT!

Be a good friend to your lady friends. Be a mentor a mother, a sister, a leader, a daughter. Don’
t ever stop giving for it is in giving that we can truly appreciate the essence of our grace and the
rewards are innumerable and ever flowing.

A man follows a woman who occupies her role and from her place of         power leads with a soft
and gentle hand. Man needs a strong woman, even though they don’t know this. But strength is
not measured by what we do, or by what we say, but by how we lead others who will do what
needs to be done.

The woman is the life of a home. Everyone needs the woman in their lives as much as the air
they breathe. Don’t be fooled ladies in thinking that we need to compete for what is already
ours. All we have to do is see life from the perspective of the goddess.

She is all knowing, all powerful, all prevailing and full of compassion. And yes, she is a bitch as
well, let us not forger that she can do everything and the bitch comes out when she is needed and
goes back in after the job the done.

Women have a place in society and men have their own place. There is not need to be on
opposite sides of the same coin. Ying and Yang need each other to balance each other out. So
why argue about something as silly as power when you already have it, you own it, and he knows
it?
We the Goddesses of this world need to takes back what is ours and with loving hands lead our
love ones into a better expression of self. And it all starts with the awakening of one goddess at
a time, one household at a time, one reconciliation of self at a time, one woman who proudly
wears her colors decorating all that she is, all that she does. This is the beauty of power, this is
our magical touch and that is why we are needed and loved.

So now for the real question; when are you going to start doing what only you can do? When
are you going to come to your senses and take charge of what only you can do? When are you
going to wake up and see that life is but a dream? You are the dream, you are the dreamer and
you are the manifestation of that dream.

Now come, and let us together create harmony and grace so that we can restore our lives, our
homes, our communities, our society and yes, our world; after all this is the reason why we came
to Planet Earth in this incarnation.

Don’t you remember? O what a shame, but I do. I remember it all. And today I am reminding
you of your part in this wonderful journey of awakening so that together we can bring total
fulfillment to everyone’s life; and that includes you.

My wish for you, for all of us, is that as we open the window to our soul we remember that we
can do anything, including loving unconditionally and shine as the morning star, ever so
brightly for the whole world to see!

Namaste
