The Goddess Within
The Goddess Within
Date: 2023-11-07
Centuries ago, across seas and land, filtering through all religions, an ancient myth has spoken of and honoured the power of women. What is this unique phenomena that governs the strength of a women, her innate quality to be a mother to all, the power to heal and bring unlimited joy to all who come into her space. The boundless supply of compassion and love from her huge heart. Who is she? what is she made up of? She has the boon to birth and nurture life and from that very being is also the essence of the virtues of life, Presence, Authenticity,Sensuality, Spirituality and Gratitude. Real power is about presence, it's the energy about knowing who you are and thinking, speaking, and acting from a point of true self. The Gift of Women.
In celebrating women and the deep power that governs us during this auspicious time of Navaratri, 9 nights dedicated to powerful women that lead us every day.This time has taught me that I have seen or experienced every energy of theseGoddess's so many moments on my journey. I have looked in a mirror countless of times and saw the same Goddess. All scriptures speak of the mystical trials of women, their survival and victory over evil. Legends of 5000 years ago walk with us today, our stories are no different, our power is no different. How does a young, timid, birthing mother never give up, or a woman goes to bed hungry to make sure her kids have eaten, or the helpless women raped and abused but gathers herself and raises her energy to make it to survive and still extends her heart and hand to help. The power of women permeates our earth as the breath of life, the very essence of what connects us to the Universe. This energy is a constant reminder of the life we have, what we eat, create,preserve, restore, and allow others to experience from our beings is the power of the Universe, Shakti.
The demon is always within, the goddess is always within, the battle too, is always within. And so is the triumph of one, over the other. Which one, over which one? That choice is also, somehow always within.
