I am a daughter of the Goddess, I am Aphrodite’s descendant, this is the deep and delightful thought that I hold within me. And my own mother Arlene, who bore me into this world, is also of the Goddess, as was her mother Lena before her, and Lena’s mother Sarah, and before Sarah, Rebecca, and so on down the line to the beginning and end of time. We are all of the Goddess, men and woman alike, plants and animals, earth and sky, sunlight and moonlight. We are all at once at one with her. Do you remember living within your Grandmothers belly? You did live there once upon a time. When your maternal grandmother was four months pregnant with your mother, the egg that would become you already existed. You were nestled in the womb of your mother, nestled within the womb of your grandmother. Isn’t that amazing?? This is a deep cellular connection to your maternal line, the line that begins with the Mother and the mother, ultimately, is realized as the Goddess. We know it is she who brings forth life and gives birth, it is from her that we begin our existence. The Goddess represents the feminine aspect of consciousness. The creatrix of life itself. The nurturer, the child bearer, the eternal mother, the womb of womanhood, the emotional meter, healer, powerful protectress, hunter, gatherer, care taker of children and the earth, leader, warrior woman. Yin, dark, cold, damp, moon, night, deep, internal, intuitive. The vessel and the void. High Priestess, Empress, Queen, Princess, Maiden, Mother, Crone.
My body is the body of the Goddess, my body is earth, is air, fire and water. My body is electric with sparkling light. My body is energy in motion, a fine tuned organism. My body is Paradise, pleasure and passion live within her. My body is the home I live in. My body is my sacred space, my temple, my greatest love. My body is magnificent and magical, my body is trusted, tried and true. My body is very feminine, curvy and bodacious, it is a womans body for sure. My body is healing. Cleansing and clearing all the icky stuff out of it, with ease and grace, and a pretty face. I transform, shift and change the body I have been abusing with new musings of love, joy, and deep fulfillment. Happiness comes with true fulfillment. My ecstatic allies being healthy vegetables, fresh air, tree loving and magical light. I dance my way into health and beauty. Good music and an electrical outlet. These essences I draw into my body, through thought, breathing in the nutrients of the elements, the vitamins and minerals of healthy foods, green leafy vegetables, kale and collard greens, green drinks. I align my intention with my actions.
I know the secrets, I have been learning them and reading about them for years. I know the secrets of the masters, the secrets to living a good life. There are many, but here I will list a few.
The first secret is to breathe it in!!!!!!! The immense power of the breath, the life force! Taking deep conscious breaths, filling ourselves with life, releasing that which is no longer serving, cleansing and clearing the lungs and organs with intentional breathing. The breath is our most powerful tool to create wellness, the breath is our link to life. In with the new, out with the old. We coexist with plant life in this way, plants take in our co2, and then release oxygen, we then breathe in oxygen and breathe out the co2. That is why our forests and trees and natural places of beauty and nature need to be cared for and preserved. Mothers of the earth we are calling you -We need to breathe! Then Drink It In. Drink pure water! It is the elixer of life. You know that the human body is made up of mostly water, our organs and cells depend on it for life. Hydrate your body, keep yourself moist and juicy. It will prolong your healthy sex life and keep your skin glowing. I also love homemade herbal teas, coconut water, broths, veggie juices and green drinks. Don't forget to drink your food too. Chew, chew, chew, chew, chew. Get every nutrient of sunlight out of each bite and gift it into your body. Also while we are on the subject of drinking it in, drink in all the beautiful words of kindness and love people share with you, it feeds your spirit, and supports your health. Allow all complements you receive to become a part of your cells, drink them in like a refreshing libation, you deserve to be well satiated with an over-flowing cup of love.
Think It In! The power of positive thinking is one of our most valuable and vital tools to creating the truth and beauty of our lives. As the book says, "You can't afford the luxury of another negative thought". This is powerful advice. We create what we think. More than we realize, our belief systems and subconscious self-talk rule our inner and outer lives. Often times our self-talk is destructively negative, we say things to ourselves that we wouldn't say to our worst enemies and the worst part is most of the time we don't even know we are doing it. In the past I have said things like "no one loves me" because a man I loved didn't return my affection, but what about all the other people who do love me, and there are many, what am I saying and attracting to myself with those words??? I am attracting a lack of love, and most of all, I am not loving myself, the spiral of not being loved therefore continues. Here is another good one, when you drop something and then follow that by saying,"oh, I am so stupid". Well your brain hears that and then creates more situations for you to feel stupid in. Your brain takes everything you say as fact, and then creates situations to confirm those facts. Often times the words that come out of our mouths are words that we heard as children, they are not even necessarily our own thoughts, just automatic responses to life that we heard from our families, teachers and society at large. Ultimately it takes a toll on your self-esteem, your health and your life's vitality. No we cannot afford the luxury of negative thinking, it is vital to our lives that we think ourselves anew. Full of light, love and joy, queens of our domain, truly wondrous and beautiful and full of our essence and perfection in everything we do. Most of all, thinking thoughts that are self loving and nurturing is the greatest gift we can give ourselves. When we love from the inside we will attract all the love we need from the outside world. And when I talk about love I also mean it as energy. Love can come as money, romance, a new job, a great opportunity, etc. It can be anything that you want to attract more of to yourself and your loved ones. Remember to 'Fake it till you make it'. Think those loving thoughts in.
Next it is important to See It In. Visualization is the key, the greatest healer is within your imagination. See yourself as you want to be, create your image of your life. See yourself as a part of the glory of this natural earth and Universe we are living in. Visualize yourself within the abundance of all you desire, fulfilling your dreams, and having already created that which you imagine. Hold your vision as a target, aim your arrow and shoot for the bull's eye. If you can see it, than you can be it. Stay focused on your target, see it everyday, it will hold you like a rope and guide your way forward.
Lastly, Move It In. Move into your vision, take action. Figure out the steps you need to take and go for it, one step at a time. This is your life, this is your dance. A-bun-dance for Abundance. Taking the steps and creating movement, even in the babiest of steps you are heading into your abundance and beauty. The Goddess is already within you, and she wants to shine and shimmer as your life force feeds her essence with movement and action. One of the things that suits my Goddess nature best is to dance. When I feel stuck and don't know what to do next, I dance or take a walk. This too is movement, stepping out of the stuckness. Allowing my body to move to the rhythms of the beat, I connect to my own rhythm and find my center. As I dance, I stretch my physical body, shift my energy and open my heart to myself as I am fully awake and alive in my movement. At the same time I am strengthening my muscles, supporting my flexibility, and honoring my spirit by taking action. The time for movement is now, it shifts us into a higher place, which is where all Goddesses belong. Breathe it in, drink it in, think it in, see it in, move it in. Using your five senses for a sensual life. See it as you breathe it in, feel it as you drink it in, know it as you think it in, do it as you move it in.

It is sometimes magical and miraculous to be in this female body, this feminine skin, that houses the Goddess inspired mind. The Gold Mind. A woman's GOLDMINE is within her GOLD MIND, every woman has it. There is so much gold to be mined in there. Girlish joy, laughter, and play. Womanly passion, pleasure and power. Sage knowledge, wisdom and intuition. Mining your gold is an inspiring journey, it has truth and beauty and mystery in abundance. It's an adventure of great value and worth to all women. Sometimes it can be a little confusing and you need a road map for this journey, or you may lose track of where you are and need a guide to hold your hand, sometimes it can be downright scary, but that is okay, because the gold is there and it is yours! If you set your intention to find it, and recommit to it daily, you will relish in the beauty of your life. Aphrodite, the great Greek Goddess, wore a golden girdle to protect and highlight her Goldmine. She symbolizes a strong, luminous, earthly Goddess who radiates with the power of her golden light. With this light she knew how to manifest all of her dreams and desires, as a Goddess in her own power. Her golden girdle is a symbol of her ability to care for herself by setting strong boundaries around her sacredness and honoring her inner and outer beauty. Her radiance, wisdom, magnificence and empowerment stem from her gold mind. Her gifts are abundant, as her gold mind creates her goldmine. Aphrodite is an archetypal teacher of self-love, self-awareness and self-esteem. These are the gifts her golden mind, a mind which clears space of debris and clutter and connects to the truth and beauty of our divine light, our radiant inner knowing. When we find our gold we feel it filling us with it's warmth and incandescent light. In the goldmine all the treasures of our magical and miraculous feminine bodies are found.

What are the veils that keep the Good Girl from being the Goddess that she is? Let's take a look at seven veils women can hide behind, keeping the Goddess within from her true power. Let's journey together to the great Goddess of womanhood and lift these seven veils one at a time.
Veil #1 We do not know that we are the Goddess.
As women we are all the living embodiment of the Goddess on earth. We are born female and by that nature, we are alive as the sacred, divine, feminine essence in body, mind, and spirit. The Goddess is the feminine aspect of God, so to speak, an opposite but equal kind of power. This essential power of the Goddess is embedded within our feminine psyche. Our range of emotions, our nurturing love, our intuitive sense, and our gentle power symbolize the divine nature of women . In every woman there is a spectrum of emotions so powerful, they are impossible to ignore. The woman is the bringer of life, the divine creatrix lives within her. She experiences the pain of childbirth and all the emotions that bring her through this life and death experience. This is the domain of the Goddess - tears, laughter, rage, sexuality, sensuality, wisdom, pain, grief, joy and purpose. Unfortunately, most of us don't know this little secret. To know these aspects of being a woman, and to truly honor them as our treasure and our gifts is a powerful key to our happiness, vitality and our divine radiance as women, as the Goddesses we are. Where we think of the masculine qualities as being more physically strong, logical, structured, controlled, active and forceful, the feminine nature balances these traits with more emotional strength, intuitive wisdom, fluid movement, gentle nurturing, and a cyclic balance between activity and rest, our interior and exterior expressions. The Goddess lives within all women and men too, she is the embodiment of all we are. The creator of our lives, the spark that ignites us. You are the Goddess, dearest one, now you know.
Veil #2 We are not living our lives authentically.
Do you know who your authentic self is? Do you talk to her or do you keep her locked in the basement of your mind, not letting her see the light of day? Does she show up in your dreams, does she nag at you to notice her at the most in-opportune times? Does she unconsciously beg others to notice her with martyr like actions, because you refuse to give her space? Your authentic self is the inherent truth of who you are within you. She is strong and she is wise, she is passionate and she is potent, she is gentle and she is kind, she is loving and she is sensitive, she is creative and she is courageous, she is so many things, but most importantly she is the truth of who you are within you. Who are you truly in your heart? This is your authentic self. Many women live their lives in accordance to some rules they were taught as children, often through family, school, friends and society at large. Their authentic Goddess self is pushed aside and the good girl emerges. This usually means she has learned to be what others want her to be in order to be accepted for who she is. The good girl, who is as perfect as she can be for everyone else, is the woman who has disconnected herself from her authentic self, her Goddess. Being a good girl is no crime by any means, we are all good girls. We are all innocent and hopeful. We want to show up to life with our hearts open to love and be loved. We are all good at heart, even when it doesn't seem that way, goodness lies within everybody on earth. And those of us who are self-proclaimed Goddesses, we are good girls too, especially as we authentically express ourselves in the world. The authentic self exists for all of us, you can look for her under one of your veils. Find her, beckon her, discover her, engage her and honor her. Express your true self, it is a gift you share with all of us. She is your deepest truth, Love and accept her with all of your heart.
Veil #3 We are taught to deny our Wild Nature.
The wild nature of a woman is the spark that feeds the fire of her life. The wild women is instinctual and is most often expressed in the manifestation of her creativity. This wild nature is expressed in so many exquisite ways. From the clothes she chooses, to the friends she keeps, to the ideas that stimulate her inquisitive mind or her art, to the orgasmic, organic, sensual aspects of her deepest desires. There is no one way of being, the domain of the wild woman is ever changing and unique to each woman. As is the world itself is ever changing, so too is the wildish nature. We know the only constant we can depend upon is change. Our wild nature is constantly adapting to these continual changes, looking for ways to emerge out of the depths. The presence of a woman's wildish nature is always within her, she is stirring under the veils of everyday life. Women are creative by nature, whether it be the creation of life in childbearing or the creation of our lives in the art of whatever we do. We create our homes, the safe sanctuary that holds our families; we create the food that we prepare, the nourishment for our bodies to grow and flourish; we create in the way we care for our loved ones, nurturing the sick with herbs, vitamins and medicines to create better health; we create in our work place, with our ideas and our energy; we create in the supermarket, as we imagine the dishes we will prepare. We are in constant creation of the art that makes our daily lives. When we are in tune with our wildish nature, we have the power to create our lives brighter, richer and deeper. We choose our creations from our core, our power, our heart, our instincts. When it is time to break out and break free we know where to go inside of us. Like the Lioness whose instincts are powerful, protective, liberating and in touch with the natural forces of life, the creative wild woman too finds her power from the depths of her wild nature. Feeding our own wild nature is essential, we need to stay connected to this energy throughout our lifetime, we need to watch out for complacency and stir the pot every so often, this is the nature is that protects and nurtures us. When we can do this for ourselves, then we really have what it takes to care for the world, for all are one, all are our sacred children. We are all artists in this life, we create the tapestry of our world. The wild instinctual nature is within us, it is our birthright. Nurture your wild nature!
Veil #4 We don't feel worthy of calling ourselves Goddess.
Something that I learned many years ago which opened my eyes wide, was in remembering my self worth. Each soul that comes to the planet is of equal value to every other soul on this planet. Period. We are all born with the same worth, and every living, breathing second of our lives we continue to be of this great and precious worth forever more, it never goes away. Each soul embodies a divine spark within it, each of us comes to life with certain gifts to share that are uniquely our own. This is true of each of us, without exception. There is noone greater or less than you - EVER!!! The combination of egg and sperm that made you, the position of the constellations in the sky at the time you were born, the location on the planet where you were born, the cellular memories of your ancestors, the timing of your conception, these are some of the unique factors that come into play in the creation of you. Everything about you is uniquely yours, noone else in the world is the combination of life energy that you are. You are UNIQUE in every way, it is in your DNA. And you are here to share your valued, priceless and precious gift of life with the world around you. You are a microcosm within the macrocosm that is life on earth, each being is an essential part of the whole. Like the cells that make up our bodies, they all have different qualities and jobs to do, but each is essential to the existence of our lives, each has it's own unique cell/f worth. Your self worth can never be taken away from you, it is yours always and it is precious and priceless. Remember that!!!!
Veil #5 We have forgotten our Purpose
Does this sound familiar? Purpose is a funny thing, it can be so elusive and hard to find. We can spend our lives looking for purpose without ever finding it, and then just at the end of life, we may discover we have lived in our purpose the whole time. Often times we are living our purpose without ever even knowing it. So many of us wonder what our purpose is, we are looking for meaning in our lives and questioning what we are here to do. For many women who are mothers of small children, they know their purpose, it is to raise these little beings into wonderful adults. There is great purpose in this, one of the greatest of all purposes in the world. For those of us who do not have this purpose, or who feel that this is not their only purpose, we can sometimes wander for years and years looking for our purpose everywhere. This is painful and leaves us feeling bereft, and lacking somehow, as if we are missing out on a crucial aspect of our lives.
Here are some things I have been discovering about Purpose:
1) Purpose is within the things you love. Whatever is in your heart is also in your purpose. For some people the expression "doing what you love, and loving what you do" is a part of living your purpose. 2) If some dream or desire that connects to your heart comes back to you over and over again, then take a closer look at the information it is holding for you. Decode it, your purpose may be living under the veils of this dream or desire. It may not be the actual picture that you see in your minds eye, but the essence and feeling you get when you think of it may be. How do you create more of these great feelings in your life? As you follow this path you may find some purposeful living in there. 3) The simplest things that you do and enjoy are a part of your purpose. The smile you share, a small act of kindness, an important message you share. These small and simple things can sometimes have huge impacts that resound around the world. Everything affects everything. If you feel you aren't making a difference in the world, let me assure you, you are! 4) Your purpose is within you, look for it on the inside. Noone else knows your purpose but you. Find your purpose, it is calling you.
Veil #6 We do not feel Beautiful enough to be called a Goddess
All women are beautiful!!! Yes we are, we are beautiful in every shape and size we come in, ALL women are beautiful. We have beauty in every cell of our bodies. We have beauty in every truth we speak. We have beauty in every powerful choice we make. We have beauty in our sadness, our anger, our rage and our joy. Our beauty is the light we express from the inside. It is beyond external looks, it is beyond the clothes we wear, the hair styles we have, the height, weight, skin tone we bear. Feminine beauty is lit from within. It is the spark within, the authentic self, the wildish nature, the truth of a woman who knows herself and radiates this truth out of her being. The 'good girl' woman may think this sounds egotistical, that it may be improper to think of herself as beautiful. Let that go Goddess, this type of belief could not be more untrue or disempowering. We must nurture and celebrate our beauty everyday, we must learn to infuse ourselves with our own inherent beauty, our authentic lives depend on it. Choose beauty as a daily practice. Beauty is found in the little acts of self love and self care we give to ourselves. An aromatic bath, a good body oil, a walk in nature, eating nutritious foods, these are ways of honoring our beauty. Being in our truth is being in our beauty. There is a famous expression that goes like this: 'Truth is beauty, beauty truth'. If you have trouble finding the beauty within you than look for it around you, it is everywhere. Look outside of yourself and see it in the moon, the stars, the sky, the trees, the ocean, mountains, birds, flowers etc. See it and know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That means if you can see beauty, then you are that beauty. A wonderful exercise you can do to enhance your beauty, is to see beauty around you and then breathe that beauty deeply into your body. Breathe it in and connect it to your head, heart, belly, genitals, legs and feet. Stand in your beauty dear Goddess and beauty will bless you from every direction.
Veil #7 We are afraid to Change what we know, even when it no longer serves us.
As I stated earlier, change is the only constant we can depend upon. Effecting change is a powerful and transformational choice. As we consciously choose to change and grow out of our old habits, we connect to our sense of worth and feminine empowerment. Women can spend years of their lives stuck in old habits, patterns and situations that are no longer serving their growth, beauty and authentic existence. This feeling of stuckness becomes debilitating over time, it hacks away at our self-esteem, self-love and self-actualization. On many levels we are denying our true selves when we stay stuck in old patterns, supporting old belief systems that bear no fruit. This can leave us feeling sad and despairing. Stuck in the muck. We can always choose differently, that is the power of consciousness. There is a juiciness to life when a woman chooses to pursue her power, when a woman honors the Goddess that she is. Everyone woman has the right to know herself as the Goddess,deeply and profoundly. She is the source of magical light within us all, she is the wise inner voice, she is the self-protective shield, she is the essential breath of our lives.
Walk in Beauty, Walk in Balance, Stand in your Power, Follow your Light. You are a Goddess!
