What Is A Goddess?

The word 'goddess' derives from Indo-European roots connected to concepts of divinity and invocation, and represents the divine feminine - she is the female embodiment of the sacred. Historically, goddesses have been associated with different aspects like fertility, sexuality, wisdom, protection and more across various cultures. The goddess archetype empowers women to reclaim their inner power and divinity.

In ancient Greek mythology, goddesses were sometimes portrayed as having multiple aspects representing different stages of a woman’s life. For example, Athena was seen as both a virgin goddess symbolizing wisdom and the protector of Athens, as well as a goddess associated with childbirth and motherhood. Similarly, Aphrodite embodied both love and fertility. The concept of goddesses with dual or triple aspects resonated in some ancient cultures, though the classifications shifted over time and across civilisations.

Today, the term 'goddess' is often used lightly as a form of appreciation from one woman to another, a light-hearted joke with no real substance. However, this casual use of the term undermines its profound significance and in turn, undermines the inherent powerful gene found in every woman.

Embracing one's inner goddess is not about perfection or comparing ideals but rather, it involves recognising that every woman carries divine potential that can be awakened. As the goddess energy has been suppressed for so long, consciously elevating it allows women to reclaim their strength.

The return of the divine feminine is manifesting across many realms of society. To support this, we present seven steps for activating your goddess essence. By tapping into this, you can surpass limiting beliefs and vibrate at your highest frequency of purpose and passion.

1. Your Feminity Is Your Divine Superpower

Many women downplay or dismiss the divine feminine energy within, often a result of cultural conditioning. The Divine Feminine is a powerful force in our lives and it's not just an idea or a concept; it's real and profound. The Divine Energy represents the life-giving, creative power of the universe.

As women, we have the biological gift of creating new life along with innate nurturing strength. Our minds juggle countless tasks and responsibilities with empathy and care. There is a phrase that says, “It takes a woman to build a home.” This is absolutely true, if there are no women, there is no hope, no future and no home, so we must appreciate and acknowledge our feminine energy, and most importantly, understand that it is an actual superpower.When we deny our divine feminine essence, we diminish our own potential.

Reclaiming this divine power allows us to operate from a place of confidence and purpose. Our intuition, though often minimised, brings valuable wisdom. There is no need to strive for perfection, only to honor the goddess already within. She is the source of optimism, courage, and vision to build a hopeful future.

2. Acknowledge Your Power And Activate It

Activation of the divine goddess gene is essential for harnessing your power every day, even if you don't feel like doing so. Knowing who you are is good; however, combined with intent, it will help supercharge you for your day. If you're a mother, activate the divine goddess gene to take care of everything at home, with your children and your partner. As an entrepreneur, get creative and build up your empire. Wherever you are on the divine spectrum, activate the goddess gene within you to become whatever it is you need to be. Affirmations, visualization, and meditation are great tools to use in this process.

3. Cultivate a Supportive Circle of Empowered Women

Building a strong network of empowered women is crucial for your personal growth, self-confidence, and overall well-being. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who inspire and uplift you can significantly enhance your journey towards becoming the best version of yourself. Seek out women who are on a similar path or have already achieved what you aspire to, as their guidance and wisdom can be invaluable.

4. Remove People Who Dampen Your Shine

Once you have acknowledged and embraced your inner Goddess, there may be individuals who attempt to diminish your new found energy. Here are some examples of how they might present themselves:

They may express discomfort or disinterest in your spirituality, saying things like "You're too spiritual for me" or "I don't like that kind of stuff." This is their way of trying to control the energy because it makes them feel uneasy.
They may claim that they are unabe to handle your spiritual nature because it doesn't align with their own interests or beliefs.
They might try to undermine your happiness by making frivolous comments in an attempt to make you feel guilty.

In such situations, it is crucial to remove these individuals from your life immediately. Pay attention to your inner voice, as it will guide you in determining whether someone is supportive or against your journey. Trust your instincts; they are the manifestation of your divine Goddess nature.

5. Remove Negative Self Talk

To remove self-sabotage, it is important to address negative self-talk. As you embrace your inner goddess, you may notice an increase in negative thoughts. We at Olyinka HQ call it "The Resistance."

Self-talk refers to the beliefs and statements we make about ourselves on a daily basis. Negative self-talk may manifest as phrases like, "I don't feel good about this," "this isn't right for me," "I don't deserve this," or "I can't do this."

When we hold negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves, we are more likely to engage in behaviors that reinforce those thoughts and avoid activities that can help us grow. Negative words can have an impact on our body, mind, soul, and spirit, limiting our goddess energy.

Initially, these negative voices may be loud, but by consistently speaking positively and affirmatively over your life, they will eventually recede, allowing your positive voice to become dominant. In order to overcome negative thoughts, start by practicing the replacement of negative thoughts with positive ones.

6. Do Not Be Controlled Or Subservient

It is crucial not to allow yourself to be controlled or subservient to others. Unfortunately, our society has seen women being dominated and oppressed in various ways and If you find yourself in a situation where you feel controlled, abused, or dominated, it is essential to remove yourself from that environment immediately. There are organisations and groups available that can provide support and assistance. Do not hesitate to speak out and seek help. Your ultimate aim should be to surround yourself with relationships, friendships, organisations, groups, or communities that allow you to flourish and be your best self. Take this step without delay, and your empowered future self will be grateful for it.

7. Do You With Confidence And Boldness

To be confident and bold is something we should all aspire to. When you want something badly enough, just go out there and get it! Whatever you need, whatever you want, whatever you desire, go get it and do so with confidence and boldness because YOU HAVE THE POWER TO DO THIS.

Your inner goddess is waiting for you to awaken her, and she will enable you to be yourself, with boldness and confidence.

It’s not easy to get your feminine energy flowing, but with a little patience and these action steps, we are confident that you will be able to activate your inner goddess in no time.
