5 Myths about Awakening Your Inner Goddess

Awakening your inner goddess is about finding your inner strength, grace, and empowerment, and connecting to your own divinity. But there are some misconceptions and myths I've seen  about the inner goddess and goddess self, so I'm writing this post to help clear them up.

The Inner Goddess Concept is all about Pampering & Pleasure

Many seem to believe that embracing your inner goddess is about pampering yourself and indulging in superficial pleasures. But the truth is, it's so much more profound and powerful than that.

Awakening your inner goddess is about self-discovery, empowerment, and connecting deeply with your true self. When you connect with your goddess self, there is nothing superficial about it. 

Now I'm not saying that self-care rituals aren't a  part of the journey. Ideally, they become the vehicle for deepening your connection with your goddess self. And they serve the higher purpose of nurturing your soul.

That doesn't mean you can't pamper yourself, either. I'm all for it!

But that is not what embracing your inner goddess is about, and I don't want you to miss the deeper opportunity for connection with your divinity, because your attention is only focused on lavish pleasure.

Your inner goddess, your goddess self, is your divinity. It's the truest part of you. So we're talking about a spiritual pursuit and a spiritual connection, not a lighthearted spa experience.

You Have to Be a Perfect
​Inner Goddess

We've been conditioned to expect and demand perfection from ourselves and each other. But it's a setup and it's destined to fail.

You have to let that go, especially when it comes to the relationship you're creating with your goddess self. Give yourself the freedom to play and experiment and see how it goes, without judging yourself.

In fact, you are on the right track when you accept yourself fully and love yourself, imperfections and all.

Your Inner Goddess is Only
​Feminine Energy

Connecting with your inner goddess does mean embracing your divine feminine energy.

But it also will create balance between the feminine and masculine energies you carry. It will harmonize them within you.
​

It's Selfish to Focus on Connecting with Your Inner Goddess

This is a limiting belief that often comes to us from others. When we honor ourselves, prioritize self-care and set healthy boundaries, others may view us as selfish. But don't believe them.

Connecting with your inner goddess will help you develop healthy self-love and self-care practices. It will lead to being more authentic and to living a deeper connection with your divinity. 

Shifting in those ways honors your mission, but it is not selfish in any way.

Awakening Your Inner Goddess
​Requires Complex Rituals

Awakening your inner goddess does not require elaborate rituals or ceremonies.

Your inner goddess practice can be as simple as meditating for a few minutes a day, listening to your intuition, practicing gratitude, or creating moments of joy in your everyday life. The core of your practice is connecting with your authentic self and nurturing yourself with kindness and love.

So hopefully, I've dispelled the myths that could really get in your way as you awaken your inner goddess. Are there any that you still need to let go of?

See you next time!
