The Goddess Path: Footprint 1

We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

~Joseph Campbell

The lessons, rituals and exercises listed in this section are things that I created that worked for me. By all means, as you become more in tune with your Spirit feel free to tweak these exercises and tailor make them to your needs. I always begin with an affirmation/prayer and a corresponding task related to the goal that I am working on. For this particular treatment, we are working on connecting to our natural essence. Our dormant GODDESS. This is a step-by-step endeavor (hence, the name “footprints”). Some days you will feel as though you are taking babysteps. Other days, you will feel as though you’re caught your stride and are moving along full sprint.

Most treatments are meant to be absorbed over the course of a week. However, feel free to extend a lesson as long as you wish or even circle back to repeat a past lesson. Hell, skip ahead if you’d like. Remember to follow your Spirit. She will guide you in the right direction.

Before embarking on any new phase of life – you must first clear the space for new ideas, fresh energy and unexpected miracles to occur. How you do you do that? Some people burn sage, others do a thorough house cleaning, fast, something that symbolizes cleaning or moving negative or past thoughts, experiences and/or energy OUT.

For this exercise, you will need a mirror and a pack of dry-erase markers. If you live alone, you can use your bathroom mirror. If not, you can purchase a hand mirror at your local drugstore.

For the next week, write down EVERY negative thought that you have about yourself on that mirror with the dry-erase marker. Every time you felt slighted at work, rejected by a partner, unhappy with your experience. Use feeling words and adjectives, or even phrases:

overwhelmed

unorganized

lonely

depressed

BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF. Most time, we walk around with a wall and happy front for the public, while suppressing these emotions. Suppressed feelings eventually turn into toxins in our bodies – causing us to age, and develop illnesses.

During this time, don’t be afraid to look at the words that you wrote. Stand in front of them…let the words written on the mirror cover your reflection….stare at it….cry if you want to because, guess what?

Those are the things that are covering you on a daily basis. Even when you think you’re smiling, you believe that you’ve got the world fooled…you don’t. It’s time to let go. When you’re ready – I advise to let the words sit for about a week – grab some glass cleaner, a towel and CLEAN. But before you do that, write down the ANTONYMS of those words. As you watch the words disappear, imagine the same thing happening within your subconscious…because it can. What is our spiritual “glass cleaner”? Affirmations of release. Use the antonyms of the words that you wrote on the mirror to create positive affirmations for yourself. Every time you repeat those words, you are cleaning your stained glass.

Change the voices…in your head…make them like you, instead.
