I am a Goddess.
I honor myself and my feelings.
I beckon the Divine- help me to feel more.
I want to feel everything!
Every touch. Taste. Smell.
Every encounter.
Every thought. Emotion. Belief.
My body is a temple.
Pure and full of light.
Nurturing within.
Full of feeling.
I am a Goddess.
Strength receiving.
Worshipping the divine feminine.
In me and in everyone.
I worship her.
Non-competing.
One with all.
I am mother. daughter. and sister.
I am a Goddess.
This blog is my personal journey to transform my emotions, it is my process to find the presence of One in everything and everyone, no matter how difficult and challenging the circumstance, no matter how strong the emotion or belief...

Creating boundaries from unknown and mysterious forces.
3 or 4 days ago:
Something interesting happened to me tonight in yoga class. I don’t want to be too descriptive about it but I felt a negative presence in my space. As I was trying to follow my teacher, I was at the same time, working at how I can protect myself from this negative force. I thought about boundaries.
One of the first things I did was demand that it go away. I realized immediately that this did not help as I felt no relief. The other things I did, perhaps in combination, worked quite well, however. Taking from the information in guided imagery, I thought about tools I could create in my mind to help me distance from this energy and protect myself. I imagined a white light, (still), protecting me, covering my whole body from head to toe. I did not fear this energy, instead I thought maybe it could serve a purpose for me. I held a mudra to block the negative energy. I felt in my body and I breathed. I felt the negative presence being further away.
In my practice, an answer came to me to take a cold shower when I got home. I did not take a cold shower, but I washed my feet in cold water. I read that this cleanses psychic space. I find that holding my head where the energy resides is helpful too. I can’t explain why.
It is interesting to me that often I say in prayer, “may we accept and acknowledge the dark within the light, and yet always focus on the light...” Could this be a manifestation of my prayers? I wonder. I also feel blessed that I do not fear this presence and that it does not come as a surprise to me...
