RECLAIM YOUR FEMININE POWER IN 5 WEEKS! 

WEEK 4 - BEAUTY

She expresses her creativity through beauty.  Her expressions are simple, graceful and attract the heart.  She can make you pause and take a breath.  An inward breath of beauty.
  When earth, flower, thread, color, food move through her fingers, they become fragrant with soul.  There is artistry in her heart.
She imbues everything she touches with a soft grace.  (Sukhvinder Sircar)

BEAUTY is the theme of tonight's workshop.  Feel your beauty!  Enjoy the allure of the goddess, the siren or mermaid. Have you noticed that the Masculine is compelled by a woman's energy field, and when it is shining, all he wants to do is sit in that field? 

Feeling into the subtle, mysterious and powerful aspects of our shakti, we will access to the inner radiance that creates all beauty (in nature, as well as in us). 

Please wear jewellery and some makeup if you are called to (although this is not required).  Adorn your goddess self!  (Sparkly things are encouraged)

LAST WEEK: So beautiful. Partner dancing in the deep sounds of VAS.  Exquisite wholeness revealed.  Moved by trust and openness, and of course sweet femininity.  Love.

I am a beautiful woman, with beauty that doesn't wash off.
I earned it, unearthed it, rescued it like a jewel in the dust; picked it up and made it shine.
For years I did not see it, thought I sensed it was there.
Now it dazzles and thrives. I am healthy, capable, independent, strong yet so fragile, floored a sigh.
My body is that of a creator...angels meeting curves, hardness drifting into soft.

I am mother, daughter, sister, lover to myself.
Embraceable and brave, I extend my heart.
My body is home, my home a shrine to life, comfortable, warm and rich with treasures.
Mine is the scent of hot spices caught in a breeze, mine the laughter that wings through the door.
I share myself only with those who honor me as I am and protect myself, my house, and my time from invaders.
I searched for my center in the midst of chaos, practice peace as wild dogs clamor in my mind.
I use power for the greater good, release rage in neutral settings with no one innocent in the line of fire.
I am learning how to persist and when to let go.
Am willing to feel all emotion, stop their depths and exaltation. To wake up in every nerve and no longer am afraid of my life.
Both my beauty and strength transcend age, time and perhaps even this lifetime.
Each day I am new, yet more at home in myself.
Moment by moment, I create my world.
