Dancing As The Goddess

Dancing as the Goddess

The Key to Awakening our powers of Manifestation - Allison Stillman

Nearly 30 years ago I began to host a retreat called Dancing with the Goddess. It was a retreat for women held on the island of Hawaii, and we spent days immersed in ceremony and intentional practices. It would often culminate swimming in the warm tropical waters with wild dolphins.

To call in the dolphins we all had to come together as a pod, a unified community of empowered and powerful women who had paid homage to the Goddess. It wasn’t until we let go completely of the outside world that we would begin to come into unity consciousness and harmony with each other, we would find magic afoot. Each woman was deeply held in sacred space and honored for who they were and where they were on their journey of life. And within that sacred space the release of old beliefs and paradigms was much easier for us all.

The freer we became the deeper we could go in ceremony and in the water with the dolphins. In the beginning of the week, the dolphins would come, but the encounters would be surface for the most part. It was as if they knew we weren’t completely in harmony with ourselves and each other as a unified pod. We spent the week becoming a pod of love, and the dolphins intuitively knew when we were ready for encounters that some would have called other-worldly.

We had magical encounters with many tears, and everyone fell deeply in love with their sisters, the earth, the waters, and the angelic messengers of the sea, the dolphins. To say that it was the most powerful week of our lives was to try and capture the whole of the sky into words.

Those retreats have morphed into a retreat called Swimming in Love, because truly that’s what happens when you let go of old ideas about yourself and allow for a deep immersion into love. We are very much in an evolutionary process as a species now and we’re all going through a powerful awakening, both within and without in the world.

Much like childbirth, it’s not fun, it’s painful and there are times when we ask ourselves, can we keep going, it’s been such a long time now, and so many are suffering so deeply, and each of us is being called to go even deeper within now.

We’re being asked to take a deep look at how we’ve been operating in our lives and let go of the old ways, to make room for the new epoch unfolding in the coming days. This moment in history has been foretold by many traditions. In astrology, we have entered the Age of Aquarius, leaving behind the dark ages of the Piscean Age. In the Aquarian Age, the focus becomes more about the bigger picture, unity consciousness, and coming together as one.

“Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now!”

We stand at the precipice of great change, in Buddhist traditions we are moving from a 26,000-year cycle called the Kali Yuga (Kali is the Goddess of destruction) into a new 26,000-year cycle of a Satya Yuga, or a Golden Age.

Both are transitioning right now, which is why we’re going through an intense awakening, and process of birth internally and externally. Again, it’s not fun, and it’s not easy, but what we’re giving birth to is magnificence and we’re the ones to give birth to that magnificence, and first, it must be birthed within us.

It is the Goddess who must rise now. And you are that Goddess, we are that Goddess! Never have you been so needed to rise into the most magnificent version of who you are meant to be. And within that lies the key to humanities awakening. We were all born as the face of the Divine in feminine form, and through the thousands of years of repression, we can no longer bow to that in acceptance. It’s time to claim ourselves as the Goddess, and Dance as the Goddess, not with her, but as her!

We have the power to create a golden Satya Yuga, and age of love and compassion, and collective unity and harmony. We were born as Source Supreme power, the feminine face of the Divine, and along the way, we chose to buy into belief systems that took away our power, made us feel as if we were not good enough or were separate from Source.

We bought into the belief we had to work hard to make ourselves worthy or to gain power and acknowledgement from outside ourselves. The truth is we were worthy all along, we just chose to forget who we were to know the experience of separation, separation from the truth of who we really are.

When we begin to recognize this truth, the power to manifest anything we want in life begins to become available to us. The world of Quantum Physics is a wonderful validation of this truth, and while that’s who we truly are, the Goddess in human form, born to dance and awaken a new Golden Age, all of our programming and belief systems must undergo transformation.

It requires a dedication and practice to begin to own the true essence of our Divine nature, because everything inside us, our subconscious programming and the neurons of our brain are wired to stay the same.

We must be voracious in our desire to change, to grow and evolve beyond all the limiting beliefs and programs we borrowed on this journey of our lives.

We are the Goddess reborn to show the world how to lead with love and compassion, cooperation instead of competition, unity instead of separation, harmony instead of chaos, peace instead of war, and each of us holds sacred codes within us of this wisdom.

It’s time for us to gather the deep healing power of Mother Earth and bring it up through our feet, into our bodies and allow her to heal the old wounds of separation and move back into a time of unity within, so that we can show the world what we as women have always known, LOVE is the answer, it is the key to manifesting a new Golden Age for our children and their children to come.

I was born an Aries, a double Aries in fact, with Mars (the God of War) as my ruling planet. For my entire life, I was always a super-achiever, the go-getter who could always get things done. I didn’t need help and most often didn’t ask for it. Straight A student, honor roll, president of the class and the yes girl. I could make things happen.

Many years ago, running a thousand miles an hour, with multiple businesses, a marriage, a dying Mother I was caring for, and not enough hours in the day, I broke my left big toe. I stumbled while out for a hike and could barely walk back home.

But I splinted that toe up and kept on moving. A week later, I fractured my left shin, and this time, I had no choice, I had to stop. I sat in meditation asking why I was hurting the left side of my body, and why I was stopped in my tracks. The answer came in loud and clear! My entire life, I had allowed the masculine aspect of who I am to run the show, the go-getter, super-achiever was in charge. It was now time to change, as it was diminishing to the point of destruction the feminine aspect of who I am, the Divine Creator who wanted to manifest as the Goddess.

I was told it was time for the Divine Masculine to step to the rear and act as support now, so that the Divine Feminine could lead and come into power. It was to be a sacred marriage, partnership where the Masculine fully supported with strength and power, the intuitive Feminine who could become the example of love and compassion made manifest.

It was no longer about making things happen, it was about allowing things to happen. I needed to become it to manifest it. Through the many mentors and teachers since that time, I’ve learned what truly is the Universal Law of manifestation, we must become the frequency of that which we wish to manifest and allow the Universe to manifest through us. And it is a journey, a process of becoming, and it is for each of us. s Never has it been more apparent than the times we find ourselves navigating now, we are being called to step into the empowered roles we were meant to serve, to truly Dance as the Goddess. WE are the Goddess reborn, the feminine face of the Divine and we must now give birth fully to the magnificence of who we’re meant to be. I honor and bow to the grace, wisdom, beauty, love, and abundance that you are, that we all are!!
