I am my Karma Pt 3: Building Self worth
April 27, 2009 No Comments
We go deep (pause) to start off this week. As the weather in my hometown Toronto and most of the east coast gets warmer, my allergies start acting up, the fresh grass starts sprouting, and I can’t help but be so grateful to the higher power that I live to see another spring. Reflecting back on my spiritual growth from last spring to this spring, I’ve made leaps and bounds. Most of this is partially due to the fact that I am honouring the resurgence of the female higher power through Goddess Intellect. I learn so much from all the wonderful people in my life positive and negative- stick around haters I still love you!
At a time in history the female image was sacred, revered, and worshipped. Her ability to give life, and figuratively take it, her connection to the earth and universe was and still is her power. Her god was not her superior but her partner and equally as divine.
Over time the female goddess began to lose precedence and a patriarchal god figure replaced the goddess. Fast-forward to today, many females are tricking for cheeseburgers, light bills and new outfits for the club. Some of us are so unsatisfied with our curves, angles and stamps of uniqueness that we are running to surgeons for a quick fix or throwing down dollars to aspire to an impossible standard of beauty. Many of us fail to see how divine we really are and that our metaphysical connection to the earth, moon and stars remain in tact.
Take the menstrual cycle for example, as much of an inconvenience as this may be, our cycles are regulated by the moon.
I am still working on recovering my inner goddess. She has been so damaged by the past and other people’s opinions that she has a long way to go, I’m sure many of you can relate. In my 2nd bible The power of Karma, author Mary T Browne shares an exercise for building self-worth. Unlike the exercise for Learning Discernment, the exercise for building self worth is a simple meditation that you can do almost anywhere at anytime.
Building Self-Worth: Sit in a quiet place where you will not be interrupted. Spend a few minutes envisioning yourself happy. Don’t put another person in the picture. Just see yourself leaving home with a joyful look on your face and a bounce in your step. The day is beautiful, and you don’t have a worry in the world. Hold that picture fir as long as you can. Do this exercise twice a day…. You are feeling great because you’re a live and it’s a beautiful day…Do this short meditation for forty days in a row. Short periods of meditation that you do often can be more potent than forcing yourself to meditate for an hour.
Too often we depend on others for happiness, I know this to be true with myself. I now recognize that anyone else who makes me happy or unhappy only does so because I allow it.
Let this be a positive week and year!
I’m high on life, put that in your pipe and smoke it,
Tee’d Off
Goddess
