3. Take back your body; it's yours
This should be obvious, but it is very insidious. Women have been
treated like objects for so long, it's encoded in our cells. We usually
aren't aware of how much our bodies are controlled by others.
Take back your body from men, they do not own your body, you own
your body. Start to notice the hidden, and not so hidden, ways men
want to grab your energy, power and your body. The old paradigm
degradation of women is based men wanting feminine life-giving
energy and power. Napoleon Hill's classic book, "Think and Grow
Rich" has a full chapter devoted to using feminine energy in business
to create wealth. We have something they don't have and they want it.
In response, we shut down. The solution is to enjoy your body, take it
back and use it for your own pleasure.
4. Start by putting yourself first. We have been programmed to take care of
everyone else at our expense. It is radical but necessary to put
yourself first. Start with small steps. If something doesn't feel right,
don't do it. Your body belongs to you, no one else. It is amazing that
when you take back your body you start to love it more deeply.
5. Love yourself deeply
One way the media and other people control you is by feeding your
insecurities, doubts and lack of self-worth. The more you love yourself,
the less hold the media has on you.
Once you start to love yourself more deeply, the cravings to full your life
with more junk start to dissolve. It's like an addiction. You keep buying
stuff to fill a gaping inner hole. Self-love helps you differentiate your
real desires from the momentary satiation of trying to satisfy the inner
tormentor. Your inner tormentors are created by others, and not the
truth of who you are.
6. Love your "flaws"; they usually turn out to be your greatest gifts. When
you doubt your inner and outer beauty you easily succumb to all the
latest junk on the market to mold you to external standards. The parts
of your body that you hate are the parts that someone else controls.
Love these parts, see who or what is influencing your self-judgments.
Is it your mother, the glossy magazines, or the Internet ads? Imagine
these energies from other people leaving your body. Fill the cleaned
inner space with your love. As you love yourself deeply you will
discover ways you have given your power over to others.
7. Claim your feminine power
Many women are afraid of their power; they don't want to emulate
powerful male models like Trump. Feminine power flows, undulates,
winds through cracks, seeps to the root, nurtures the seed, and
creates profound change. This power terrifies people. It travels
unseen, pops up in unexpected places, and blooms into abundance
and change.
Feminine power doesn't come from brute force; it originates from an
inner surrender. Dive deep inside and listen to your juicy feminine
wisdom. Then take action from your resolve, inner knowing and your
Truth. Beyond the linear mind, your profound wisdom resides down in
your womb. Clearly revealed, your path is illuminated by your feminine
essence.
8. Speak your Truth
Learn to say no. Stop putting up with disrespectful behavior. Create
boundaries of what is acceptable and what is unacceptable and stick
with your convictions.
Your voice is unique. No one else in the world can put thoughts, words
and concepts together like you. What you have to say is valuable. But
please, don't cast your pearls of wisdom before swine. Share your
precious truth with those who honor you.
9. Feed your desires
Is your whole body thirsting for more, not the shallow more of consumer
goods, but more delight and deep satisfaction?
Feed your pleasure. Your real desires and pleasures nurture and fill you
up, rather than leaving a gnawing expanding cavity filled with grabbing
and craving. The old paradigm would like you to believe that pleasure
is deplorable and degraded. Your desires and pleasures are your
power. The truth is, your pleasure is connected to your divine
essence, your brilliance and your light.
10. Use your purchasing power
Using your purchasing power effectively changes the world. Does the
stuff you've being told to buy really support your happiness and
wellbeing? Buy what fulfills you and what is in alignment with your
values. Do the products you buy support the earth or do they create
more pollution and toxic waste? Your purchasing voice will create
massive change in the market place. Your actions, taken collectively,
have an enormous impact.
Live full on.
Are you wasting your life, dredging your way through the day? Are
waiting for later to live your dreams?
Be a badass and stop succumbing to external pressure to create your life
according to someone else's standards. Explore your hidden gifts and
talents. Find your passions. Be bold. Be your awesome self. Live your
life full on; it's your LIFE.
