Being A Goddess

The Nature of Being a Goddess

Women Call, Men Respond

I am a woman. At times I even call myself a Goddess. But what does that really mean?

As described in the dictionary, a Goddess is “a woman who seems as beautiful, powerful, or amazing as a god; you can also call her a goddess.”

There are certainly days I don’t look or sound like a Goddess. I think of the moments I am lonely, depressed, or angry, and I certainly don’t consider that I am powerful. And then there are those times my grey roots grow out before I get to the Hair Salon, or when I’ve overeaten, exercised too little, and those pounds suddenly creep onto my hips and thighs, and my pants don’t fit.

Let’s not forget the times I just don’t want to take the time to put on makeup or shave my legs or get out of my comfy, though ugly, sweatpants. No one would mistake me for a goddess then.

And (can you relate to this ?) those many times it seems no matter how hard I try, I simply can’t get started, and nothing seems to get done or completed. Finding myself at the end of the day and noticing my To-Do List is actually longer than when I started certainly does not make me feel amazing and all-powerful.

But my understanding of what it means to be a Goddess goes beyond what I look or feel like to the very nature of who I am as a woman. You see, the very nature of a woman is to attract; she - you - can call forth into existence opportunities, events, and experiences that did not exist before. That is the nature of WOMAN and why I can attest that I am goddess material.

Women CALL. Men RESPOND. It is not that women cannot respond. It is not that men cannot call. But it is the NATURE of women to call, and men to respond. That is the key. And calling means to attract. To be attract-tive. Not attractive in the sense of how one looks.

Women make that big mistake. They act as if what makes them powerful is how they look, and so they try to become more attractive with different modes of hair, paint, clothing, shoes and baubles. A woman’s attractiveness is not about what she looks like, but rather the force of her ability to attract and call so that opportunities and circumstances are brought into existence around her. Her ability to CALL. It is her energetic vibration.

It is a Woman’s CALL that makes her a goddess. Her ability to throw out her scent and call forth what she wants. She understands that she is a seductress, the spider, the scent, the magnet to attract to her anything she wants. That’s what makes it so fun with men and women. Women call. Men respond. It’s a dance of the highest order. It’s a dance whose music and rhythm is our intrinsic nature.

Women who are aware of this about themselves are the epitome of a goddess in action. But some women aren’t confident in their ability to call. They forget who they are and begin to think it has something to do with how much they weigh or whether their skirt is short enough, their heels high enough, and their lipstick-red enough. They doubt their own ability to call - their own power and nature. And then they take the next wrong step - rather than rediscovering their very nature, they start to try to please others. They start giving too much. Instead, they forget to give to themselves and take care of everyone else. It puts their very nature out of balance.

Or even worse, they don’t really know what they want - probably because they have some silly innate feeling that they don’t deserve much, so it becomes impossible to CALL. You can’t call if you don’t know what you are calling for. You have to want something. You have to have an appetite. Calling won’t work if you don’t think you deserve it. And a goddess knows she deserves it. After all, she is a goddess.

Women lose the muscle of activating their desire when they don’t use it much. If you don’t want a LOT, then your desire muscle gets weak, and pretty soon, you cannot desire anything. That looks like a woman who doesn’t know what she wants. Women need to practice wanting. Want a lot. Want everything. Just be pleased with the ability to want. Once you can activate the muscle to want something, you can figure out what you really want. But if you can’t even want in the first place, you won’t have many choices.

In my seminars with women, I guide them through an exercise to write a list of things they want to have, do or be. At first, the women sit there thinking about what to put on the list. A few write a few things, then they stop and can’t think of anything else to list. That is because the muscle of WANTING is weak.

That muscle must be in good shape for a woman to display her nature of attraction. She has to be able to WANT! I make the ladies do that exercise repeatedly until they can sit there for 30 minutes straight and write without stopping. Now they have activated the wanting muscle. That is the first step.

The second step is determining priorities and choices.

Then determine what you choose to attract.

The good news is that a Man’s nature is to respond. Whether a woman wants a man, or wants a man to do something for her or with her, it always starts with a CALL. Men respond. If they are not responding the way you want them to respond, then stop making the man wrong, and start getting a new and better call.

Remember, as a Goddess, you can CALL for anything - man, an experience, a circumstance, an event, or money in the bank.

These exercises will help you develop your ability to call, and will help you to activate your competency to want for yourself. Both are necessary to be a competent goddess.

First, sit down by yourself for 30 minutes and practice making a list of things you want. Don’t worry about whether you really do want what you are writing, but get to a point where you can write without stopping for 30 minutes straight. That ability alone will activate the muscle that allows you to want. Keep doing the exercise until you can make a list without stopping for 30 minutes straight. Don’t worry about what is on the list. Just get to the point where you have an APPETITE. Where you can actually WANT without stopping!

Once you have a BUNCH of those lists from that exercise, go back through the lists and pick 10 items you actually do want for real. When you look at the selected list of 10 items, then say to yourself, “I deserve this.” As you say that to yourself, notice the feelings and thoughts that come up within you. Be aware of the arguments you have with yourself about what you deserve. Keep doing that until you feel you DO DESERVE that item. And finally, pick an item you feel you deserve and begin to CALL IT FORTH. Imagine it is coming to you. Imagine you have the power to attract it. Imagine you have a special scent or magic that miraculously makes that item or experience or opportunity come closer to you. Imagine it is responding to your command. Visualize it, closer and closer to you. Do that every evening before you sleep for at least 30 days.

Women! You are the Goddess! You are the seductress. You have power. You are the one who attracts! Stand in your power and learn how to wield it. Practice. Want something, and call it forth into existence.

Trust your power. Trust that you are the Goddess. Even if it’s a bad hair day.
