What is the True Power of a Woman?

Where does the power of a woman reside?  Where does your power reside?
​
Innate within every woman is the power that her body and her sex hold.  This power was pure once upon a time.  The power of a woman’s body was sacred and honored.  The power of her sex was celebrated as a divine expression of the Goddess. The power of a woman’s beauty, her wit, intelligence and creativity were equally as important as any other aspect of her form. 

But over time this power was corrupted because it was too powerful and something to be feared.  To gain power over the populace of the time, the Hebrew patriarchs and later the Christian Patriarchs set-up laws and religious dogma to diminish the power of the Goddess and of women. The power of women especially her sexual power needed to be controlled and the only way to effectively do this was to teach the people that women’s curiosity, intelligence, and sexuality was dangerous. So over time women began to lose their freedoms one by one.  Bit by bit women lost all of their human rights and freedoms and were reduced to being the property of men.

As men took charge of women’s sexuality, they called it profane and named it as their domain, property. Women began to believe the lies that they were fed by the religious patriarchs who wrote it into the laws and into the myths of the culture that women’s sexuality needed to be controlled. Women eventually began to forget the power of their sexual nature and that they were sovereign and free. They began to see their body and their sex as dirty, as entertainment for men, as a commodity to be bought and sold, and they began to apologize for being a woman.

Women, we forgot that we were an expression of the divine feminine and that our bodies were sacred. We forgot that our sexuality was our own to do with as we pleased and that it was also something to be used as a gift or to heal or to give pleasure to ourselves and others. 
 
Is Your Sexuality Sacred or Profane?
Do you see your body as a temple or as a commodity to display and/or sell?  Is your identity based on cultural standards of beauty used to only attract or are you strong in yourself?  Is your beauty, sexuality rooted in a clear identity with your authentic feminine nature and sense of wholeness and purity?

These are important questions to ask yourself.  We are living in a world where sexual abuse, and violence toward women is normal.  We still live in a rape culture and a misogynistic world.

The only way we can change these harsh facts is to change how we feel and see ourselves. You have the opportunity to look at the ideas and beliefs that you have internalized from your culture about being a woman.  How you feel about your body, your sexuality, and your effectiveness in a man’s world.

A woman’s true power is in her ability to know herself as an independent being expressing her feminine nature. She respects herself and her body, she knows her own worth. Her power lies in her ability to be at ease and comfortable in her own body and with her sexual power.

When a woman can contain her feminine power, her sexuality from within she is then fully in her true power as a woman.

What You Can Do to Connect with Your Authentic Sexual Power

• One of the first ways you can have a deeper connection with your authentic sexual power is by having a conversation with your yoni, which I like to call Yoni Speak. Just by having the intention to commune with this most sacred part of your body and putting your attention on your vulva and womb, you will connect.  You can ask her any question and you will hear an answer if you are open.   
• Another way to feel your authentic sexual power is to take the time to get to know the different aspects of your sexual expression. These may include some of these aspects of the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, The Primal Goddess, The Sexual Healer and Sacred Intimate. You can learn more about these archetypes in my Free E-book, What’s Your Sexy a Guide to Embodying the Goddesses of Love found on my website http://www.thenewfemininemystique.com.
• Another way you can embody more of your authentic sexual power is to pick an aspect of the goddess that you would like to emulate and dress as she would dress, then imagine how she would walk, talk and be in the world. You can do this in the privacy of your home or out in the world.
• Last, if you wish to go even deeper in healing your relationship with your yoni or in just getting to know her better, you can work with me and experience a Yoni Empowerment Ceremony or Puja.  I do these one-on-one or in a group of women.  We can discuss the best options for you and maintain any protocols of safety you need regarding COVID.
