To honor the Divine within, we need no intermediary, we do not need to pay anyone. She is there, awaiting our acknowledgement, our interest, our respect and honoring. Like all relationships, she needs feeding, she needs acknowledgement. She needs us to tend to her.
If we can connect to our own Inner Divinity, we connect, deeply, to our intuition that she holds for us. It is there that we find gratitude, where we find our most sacred ways, things, people, places and spaces. She lives within us. Hopefully we can learn ways to dig deeply and have her rise from her shroud where she has been waiting.
If we have not connected to that Inner Divinity our emotions/feelings will not be authentic and we will find waves of discontent wash over us. There be a sense of a void we feel a need to fill. It is the Inner divinity that helps us work through tough things in life – things we think we could never get through. It is her that soothes us when we cry over troubling things. Perhaps it is her that releases the tears that fall in order to release the hurt.
It is her that helps us bond in loving relationships. When we acknowledge and honor our emotions, we are honoring the divine Within. When our emotions are blocked, repressed, denied, we can never have true peace because we cannot access the beautiful calming voice of our Inner divinity. We will feel stressed when there seems nothing to stress us. We will feel The Void and a sense of lack of purpose.
Another payment for denial of one’s Inner Divinity is huge and one that is all the talk nowadays. We will never love our body as the temple it is. We will allow others to abuse our body and we will constantly be unsatisfied with this Temple. The beautiful energy within this temple is kept down by our constant dissatisfaction with how we look, how the beloved scars on our body are signposts of our struggle down here on earth. It is sacrilege to dishonor our body and we will never heal until we allow the healing from within, from the Great Mother that is within.
When we refuse to listen to that sweet cooing Divinity Within, we will forget about our sixth sense that is intuition – Feminine Intuition. We will listen to the Critical Inner voice rather that of The Great Mother that is trying to validate, teach and guide us. Honoring your own intuition means that you will spend time, however you find those quiet moments, to listen; to allow that sweet hum to begin speaking its personal messages to you; access that Inner Wisdom; act from a sense of absolute knowledge. Those of us who have vivid imaginations may have heard and ignored.
She Was Too Damn Much
They were all scared of her.
She had too much power.
They couldn't figure out or understand how she could have too much of everything all at once. She was a wild woman who displayed too much
No one could tame her
Oh they tried.
But they eventually got tired and could no longer keep up with her.
It wasn't that she was too much for them...they were too weak for her
She realized that none of them had the capacity to hold her.
Nor the endurance to carry her.
Or the strength to lift her to her highest potential.
They'd put her on a high pedestal, only to drop her when they became weak
She Was Too Damn Much
Too calm
Too aware
Too loving
Too strong
Too honest
Too difficult
Too sensual
Too sensitive
Too passionate
Too adventurous
She took up too much space
Her hair too wild
Her mind too full
Her soul too deep
Her truth too loud
Her heart too open
Her body too curvy
Her love too intense
Her smile too happy
Her emotions too high
Who the hell does she think she is? Someone needs to tell her ass to tone it down!!
That's what they said
But instead of simmering down, she set her soul on fire.
She took all her magic and used it as fuel to heal and love herself the most
She no longer needed anyone to validate what she already knew.
She knew she was too much.
So the hell what!
She finally accepted it and used all her "too muchness" to heal, evolve and transform onto the Goddess she knew she was
Alone.
By herself.
She had everything she needed, including her tribe of sisters
For the first time in her life she relied on nothing else but the Power of Love she created within her too much self. It was there all along
What an empowering moment
She lost so much from others, just to gain much more in herself.
She now has the power to heal and love in all her glory...and tell the others
We should all learn from the Too Much Woman
I am Her and She is you

Listen, listen, She Speaks!
