You're a goddess if....

To help clarify the vision for all those who may want to help promote this concept of bringing back the goddess energy, here is what "goddess" means, when used to describe a mortal woman.

A goddess:
Invents her own life, and lives according to her own vision. This quality requires the companion qualities of imagination and courage.

Is passionate, (not to be confused with manic). She is energetic & her enthusiasm is contagious, really beneficial to those around her. In esoteric terms, she raises the vibration in a group situation. She inspires others and is continually learning and evolving.

Is authentic-the mask she presents to the outside world is the same as her innermost heart. She has learned to express her emotions cleanly and healthily. What you see is what you get. A goddess knows her own truth. She does not impose her truth on others, but will share her wisdom when invited to.

Takes care of herself. She does not expect others to take care of her. She treats herself as well as she would treat her best friend. She is compassionate and forgiving with herself and others. She gets enough rest and gives her body the right fuel -- both in oxygen and in food and water. She knows what she needs. She feeds her soul.

Is committed to healing the earth and works towards peace and understanding -- whether it is on a large scale or simply within her family and closest circle of friends. She contributes to cleaning up the environment and teaches the next generation to do likewise.Sees her body (and the earth) as sacred, and is in tune with natural cycles.

She is comfortable with her sexuality. Has learned balance and patience A goddess does not freak out during ebb or waning times. She uses it wisely for rest, reflection, and planning. Has learned to trust her intuition and inner knowing. She has learned to tap into this source at will.

Has learned to let go of the need to control the flow of the river. She has discovered the futility of trying too hard. She has learned to ride the wave and go with the flow, to ask for and accept help when required. She is flexible, fluid, and adaptable. She has given up the need to control or manipulate. She does not pout or whine when she does not get her way.

Communicates her boundaries. She is gentle but firm when her boundaries are violated. She respects others' boundaries. She asks for clarification when necessary. Recognizes, honors and supports others. She is not threatened by other goddesses and understands that what is good for one is good for all, and that when one shines, the light benefits all.

A goddess knows how to share and is generous of spirit, but she knows her limitations and does not give more than what she can afford -- emotionally, financially, physically, or energy-wise.

Is in a natural state of joy and gratitude. She is also at home with her shadow, and will honestly mourn her losses and explore her fears. She understands that everyone experiences pain -- it is part of life on earth. Therefore she works through her own pain with courage and dignity, not trying to sidestep it, or numb it, but to get through it and learn from it.

Is comfortable with death, and has learned to let go of relationships, concepts, and material possessions that are worn out, or that no longer serve her growth.

Today's conference

A BIG thank you to all the 'brave' participants at the Alzheimers conference this morning! You signed up not knowing completely what was in store, and performed beautifully! What a pleasure to meet all of you...the morning was fun, are you nodding yes?
As promised, 3 simple, effective ways to calm yourself in these turbulent times were shared...Remember what they were? That's right-breathing, hugging, and EFT....All modalities that you can do yourself, anytime as they are FREE...no calories, carbohydrates, sugar (even though they leave you feeling sweet) or negative side effects. We exchanged hugs, breathed deeply ( I saw some of you yawning, what did I tell you? Getting oxygen to the brain is a marvelous way to start the day AND to continue throughout the day) and then learned EFT. For more information on how to incorporate EFT in your daily life for positive results, visit http://www.emofree.com/ and http://www.thrivingnow.com/, and google Carol Look-newsletter directory for all of the senerios we tapped on today plus much much more.
