Honour my inner Goddess

Yesterday was another good day for my inner goddess. It was a homebody day and I dressed in a favourite comfy sweater, drank herbal tea with honey, and watched reruns of SG-1 by the fire. It was a quiet day of listening to my needs and not pushing myself to complete a huge amount of stuff on the perpetual “to do” list.

I woke up this morning with my moontime so I am wearing a flowing red gypsy skirt as well as my favourite moonstone necklace. :) I’m planning as quiet a day as I can (have to go out for a bit of work later on).

Been listening to a fun CD in the car as well featuring women artists form the 80’s (Irene Cara, Pat Benetar, Laura Branigan, the Bangles). Some good old girl power! ;)

Yesterday I honoured my inner goddess by…

• adorning myself with my blue apatite necklace from Salt Spring Island and my strawberry quartz bracelet

• wearing my cozy teal shawl and feeling like I was wrapped in a blanket of love all day

• massaging myself with body cream after my morning shower and before bed (I’m so glad I’m getting back into this habit…my thirsty skin thanks me!)

• drinking 2 litres of water

• listening to Loreena McKennit while knitting in a rocking chair by the fire

• celebrating Imbolc

• applying jasmine essential oil to my skin and pillow before bed and drifting off into an enchanted sleep

• spending time with my girlfriends and letting our inner goddesses PLAY together :)

I have decided that I’d like to make this more of a daily goal for myself, since some days I am great at honouring my inner goddess and at other times I am AWOL for weeks. So my plan is to do at least one thing each day to honour my inner goddess.

Today I was feeling inspired and got off to a good start on this goal.

• applied cream to my whole body after my shower (not just my face and neck). Felt wonderful! My skin is so thirsty!

• dressed in one of my favourite purple lotus sparkly skirts. I usually only wear this in warm weather but I put on leggings underneath. :)

• put on my Aphrodite shell bracelet. Makes me feel like a mermaid.

• drank one litre of water (and hopefully will drink another litre before bed). I SO need to fill up my ‘holy well’...it’s so dry in the house at the moment I get sparks whenever I touch anything!

• had a juicily delicious, vibrantly hued, blood orange for breakfast

I feel like a goddess when I dress for each day with intention, choosing colours and crystals to wear with the vibes I need.

I feel like a goddess when I wear makeup, jewellery, and essenital oils (perfume) even if I’m staying home and doing chores all day.

I feel like a goddess when I find ways to make everything playful and spiritual…even washing the dishes.

I feel like goddess when I lavish attention on my body—taking a special bath, giving myself a pedicure or manicure, putting on creams (like Gypsy said), getting my hair cut and coloured at the salon, getting a massage or giving one to myself.

I feel like a goddess when I allow myself to buy sexy new underwear and throw out the worn out old crappy stuff!

I feel like a goddess when I eat luscious raw friuts and vegetable and lick the juice off my fingers.

I feel like a goddess when I take a deep breath of fresh air just after it has rained.

I feel like a goddess when I dance, especially sensual dancing like bellydance, bollywood dance, and hula.

I feel like a goddess when I spend time in nature—walking in the woods, sitting by running water, napping in a sunbeam, discovering a feather, sleeping under the stars…

I feel like a goddess when I make time to nurture my body, mind and spirit on a daily basis…and make it my first priority!

I thought I’d add this goal to remind me how good I feel when I make time to honour my inner goddess and to inspire me to do this on a daily basis.
