When a woman begins to transform, broaden and deepen her horizons, she is coming into her power; embracing her femininity while supporting herself from within.
A Woman Coming Into Her Power: How She Grew Strong
She spent years not realizing who she was.
She doubted her beauty, her intelligence and her power.
She was one who always felt that she didnโt quite belong
because when she came into this life, her ties to the world of spirit remained far too strong..
She was confused and lost throughout her youth, unable to see herself much less accept and appreciate herself.
As a result she was like a ship bobbing in the ocean without a rudder and without the sails of confidence to direct her towards her own promised land.
She was one who bereft of her own acceptance, hungered for it and searched for it through relationships with others.
She was a people pleaser as a result,
she would not risk confrontation in order to support herself,
she succumbed to being influenced by the opinions of others even though she had already received her instruction from within.

She allowed her truth to be sublimated,
she allowed herself to be controlledโฆ
Her need to be accepted and loved was such that she wasnโt prepared to step on or over any toes.
It took her years of being taken for granted,
ruled and overlooked before she put two and two together,
had enough and got the message.
Her suffering forced her to step out of the status quo that had always been too tight for her in the first placeโฆ
she became an avid seeker, searching for answersโฆ
She needed to know who she was, she needed to know why she was here.
She needed to find a way to free herself from fear
She travelled far and wide,
She sat at the feet of a master,
She became a Yogini of an ancient lineage
and applied the teachings to her life,
She grew strong,
She awakened her heart
She awakened her shakti,
Her third eye opened as a resultโฆ
Her potentials started to be unearthed rapidly because the veils had parted and she recognized who she was,
She also recognized who everyone else was behind their socialized facade
and because she had seen through the myth of idealized perfection,
she could appreciate the actual perfection of the imperfections in herself and in others that she had once resisted and rejected.

Today she walks with conscious awareness..
she no longer labels people as good or bad,
She interprets everything as fluctuating energy without a fixed assignment.
She holds space for the confusion of others because sheโs been there and she still visits that place herself
she understands their hunger for love misappropriated as selfishness, jealousy and competitionโฆ
She feels their vulnerability as she feels her ownโฆ
She knows the fear reflected in their eyes through her own past terrorโฆ
But underneath all of it she can see the obscured light,
the presence of God/dess despite all the protective armorโฆ
Sheโs aware of this same divine presence vibrating in her body and in her heartโฆ
Sheโs not so quick to cast judgment anymore because she knows that she is not above those that she is tempted to judgeโฆ
she knows that she is not separate
And because she gives herself permission to be herself as she is,
she can accept others as they are with appreciation and compassion โฆ
Sheโs not invested in changing anyone either,
she respects everyoneโs chosen path because
she understands that every soul is doing exactly what they need to do in order to evolve
So it is not her place to save anyone from their own lessonsโฆ
She reveals, heals, inspires and encourages instead,
she reminds others of their forgotten divinityโฆ
She holds up a mirror so that they can see God/dess reflected backโฆ
She has become a midwife for the re-emergence of the Divine Feminine soul.
The shy, timid maiden has transformed into the courageous, outspoken mother of allโฆ
She says it as she sees it confidently without shrinking back,
Sheโs fiercely protective of the helpless,
Sheโs A torch for those lost in darkness,
and sheโs not afraid to take a stand for peace and love to flourish in this worldโฆ
if someone tries to persuade her against her own knowing she simply and graciously responds, โThank you for sharing.โ
and she walks awayโฆ
Because she trusts her โselfโ,
She knows that she is Divine Mother embodied..
She is Artemis of the wild merged withโฆ
compassionate Tara and warrior Durgaโฆ
She has traversed the journey of Inanna into the dark underworld and emerged in possession of her kingdom
She knows why she is here and sheโs fulfilling her purpose..
Sheโs not alone, sheโs among many
who have chosen to return bearing love as their message,
their path and their gift of love.
