Developing Your Goddess Potential

Activating your inner goddess can be as simple as
setting aside a little time for yourself...time to think, take a
leisurely soak in the tub, or a stroll through the park.
  What matters most is that you invoke your goddess by
honoring your self, by accepting and meeting your own needs.

Activating The Goddesses Within

Being a woman is a delicate and tricky balancing act. Navigating the many roles and transitions we face is not an easy task, especially as we strive for the authenticity of remaining true to our essential character, our personal goddess type.

All the goddesses are present as potentials in the psyches of every woman.  Your personal goddess type expresses your preferred or dominant way of functioning in the world . . . the one that is most natural or comfortable for you to use in your daily life.

Most of us call upon some of the other goddesses as well, usually only in special situations and, therefore, less frequently.  Though when a goddess archetype is seldom used, it may remain underdeveloped.  Then  the archetype may function less satisfactorily than we would like, leaving us feeling "off-center" and somewhat stressed.

   There is usually one goddess in our personality that is actually rejected or disowned.  When this goddesses makes her presence felt we are uncomfortable and find the experience stressful.  This "forgotten" goddess (referred to as the "shadow" in Jungian psychology) rarely appears in our consciousness, often showing up only in our dreams. 

It is important to invite this "shadow" goddess into our awareness and to recognize and accept the gift of her strengths.  Otherwise she is apt to show up as an "uninvited guest", at the least appropriate of times, wreaking havoc in our lives.

The saying "We are what we do" (or think) best expresses how a goddess can be activated (energized or developed). By consciously focusing our thoughts or actions on the mental images of a specific goddess, we invite her to be present. The activated goddess brings her own particular strengths into our personal repertoire, enabling us to be more flexible and adaptable in response to life's varied and unpredictable demands.
