Goddess Archetypes
Goddess X Goddess SkinCare
Goddess archetypes are a part of the inner patterns of a woman's psyche. They represent the instinct, interest, aspiration, personality traits and behavioral patterns within us. We find goddesses in ancient mythologies, yet many of their images are still vividly embedded in today's modern society. For instance, the image of Aphrodite is often associated with love and beauty, while Athena is linked to wisdom and craft.
Their symbols transcend time and we draw ancient wisdom from their stories applying them with modern feminine psychological perspectives. Regardless of race, color or creed, Every woman has goddess archetypes! When we suppress our archetypes (one's true self), we experience inner conflicts that can create roadblocks in developing and expressing our deepest potentials, which in turn limits our personal growth. Health challenges are likely to appear as well. By becoming aware of our goddess archetypes and inner psyche, we develop a better understanding of who we are and what we want to become. We are able to tap into our "goddess-given" talents more easily, and show up in the world authentically and unapologetically.
You can practice shower meditation as an evening or morning routine. Consider the following tips for a mindful shower 1. Create a relaxing environment. Turn off your phone, perhaps dim the lights, and light candles to create a calm atmosphere. You can also add drops of essential oils to a diffuser. 2. Set an intention. Begin your shower meditation with an intention. Your intentions might be to wash away the stress of the day, relax under the water, or achieve mental clarity. 3. Concentrate on your breathing. Breath work is an essential component of meditation. As you shower under the warm water, take deep breaths. Inhale the shower steam and think about the breath cleansing your mind and easing your nerves. 4. Offer gratitude. Practicing gratitude is a key component of meditative practice. While meditating in the shower, offer gratitude to the water and the soap for cleaning your body. 5. Engage all of your senses. Focus on your senses and perform a full bodyscan. Feel the water running down your skin, notice how the room smells (a scented shower gel or essential oils can help with this), and listen to the sound of the water.
