Reclaiming the Power Within: 7 Words So Many Women Struggle to Say

Last week I had the privilege of co-hosting a small gathering of powerful women (and one brave man!) for an International Women’s Day event.

The intention of the day was to create space for women to breathe, reflect and connect with their power within – recognising that the divine feminine wisdom within holds the key to the answers we seek.

It was a day filled with positive conversations, laughter and stillness.

We ended the day with a meditation which I was privileged to lead, creating time for everyone to pause and absorb all that had been shared. 

Towards the end of the meditation I encouraged everyone to put their hands on their heart, to tune in to their warm, beating, loving heart, and to repeat after me, out loud the following words:

"I love you."

"I am a Goddess."

It really struck me how many women couldn’t bring themselves to say these 7 words to themselves.

They couldn’t even whisper them.

Yet we find it so easy to tell those who are close to us that we love them. 

We lift others up when they beat themselves up.

But we don’t feel we deserve to show ourselves the same love, the same affection, the same support.

If this is you, please know that you are worthy. You are worthy of love. You are more than good enough. You hold immense healing power within.

You are love.

You are a Goddess.
