The Goddess Temple of Orange County Workshops and Sunday Services for Women

Irvine, California: The Goddess Temple's personal development program, Remembering Your Power, holds that each woman is priestess of her own life, and already knows in her deepest self what she needs to make her life satisfying and happy. Each woman has the ability to be productive, peaceful, and powerful and sometimes she needs help in remembering, reclaiming and accessing this ancient wisdom that lives silently within, patiently awaiting her notice.

Rev. Ava, creatrix of the program, helps you to remember and reclaim your personal power for better relationships, greater prosperity, improved health, and satisfying work effectively, rapidly and with a money-back guarantee.

Entering into a new year and a new decade is a great time for us to reflect on ourselves and to use our insight to optimize our lives.

We all have a mix of masculine and feminine energies in a dynamic state of movement.  

The masculine energies are characterized by linearity, orientation to goals, and mental focus.

The feminine energies are circular, concerned by feeling and emotion, and they expand the mind.

Instead of seeing these energies as gender specific, we can shift the paradigm by seeing these as how the Divine has taken consciousness. The play of consciousness is that it lives in ways that are always pulsing between contraction and expansion. Indeed, we directly experience this pulsation in our lives. Whether we know it or not, this pulsation is happening microscopically in each of our cells and cosmically in the life of the universe.  

When you cease to label these energies and reject associated cultural biases, you distill them to pure energy. You then can see and operate at the spiritual level.

The process of self reflection can be one in which you contemplate and journal about how these primary energies manifest in your life. What is your tendency when managing your job, handling family matters, and relating to other people? Again, we all have a mix of these energies and the proportion changes with every context.  There are, however, distinct patterns that emerge if you only begin to become aware of them and then articulate them. 

Having explored and then discovered your patterns in the way that you live your life, you can achieve a more fulfilling life by balancing your energies. 

You will have a preference about how you do things in your life. We are all creatures of habit. The question is, "are these habits serving your vision in the highest way?" If not (this is the self reflection piece), it is up to you to cultivate that energy that is suppressed or undeveloped in order to integrate your self.For example, when you find that you tend to place high value on your feelings rather than on analysis when arriving at a decision, you can begin to find integration by bringing your mind into play.  You are invited to integrate these energies into a divinely synchronized pulsation. 

Practice attuning to a bigger energy that holds all of these energies within you. The more that you remember the source of everything within you, the easier it will be to align these energies in ways that bring greater harmony to your life. A great indicator of enhanced harmony is when you experience a deeper sense of peace and fulfillment in the application of this practice. A deeper intuition and intelligence will sense when your energies have reached a dynamic balance and you will have reached that long awaited sense of wholeness that every human being innately seeks. 

This is the way of a balanced life. The integration of the primary energies of the universe into a divine relationship. May you continue to remember to align with your highest part in ways that bring greater harmony to all the parts of you.

By Morgana Rae

You don't have to call yourself a magician, mystic, psychic, priestess or wiccan to be powerful and creative. Every wish, prayer, business plan, and affirmation carries your intention to create. The question is, how do you get better at using your creative power to make things happen? How do you increase your experience of flow and use synchronicity in creative alignment with the Universe?

My mother introduced me to my own creative power and taught me ritual in order to tap into it. As I got older and made my own way, I found that ritual became less effective for me. There was almost a quality of forcing it when I would set up my altar and call in the directions. (As if they weren't already there.) More importantly, I noticed that it didn't seem to be working for me anymore.

I later learned that doesn't mean my intentional creative power stopped. Things work and flow and when they stop that's a sign to move on.

The underlying principle of focused creative power is an inner shift. Here are some steps that may help you:

· Tap into your unique creative vision. (Feminine task)

· Take strategic action. (Masculine task)

· Ask for the Universe's help and be a gracious receiver. (Co-create)

1.Tap into your creative vision 

Creative vision is about getting in touch with what you want. Dreams and fantasies are the language of vision. Look at your dreams and fantasies and even the things that don't seem possible. They show you who you really are and help you see what's most important to you. Your awareness of your unique vision sets things in motion.

I also find it helps to put visions into some kind of physical form. Create a vision board: a collage of pictures and words and symbols that mean something to you and represent elements of the life you want.

2. Take strategic action.

Action creates energy. It shows the universe you're serious about using your co-creative power. For instance, when I decided I was ready to be a radio or television guest expert, I took that class on being a good media guest. This small action opened the way for the universe to help me.

Here are some tips to keep you focused:

· Learn to prioritize what is most important. What do you do that has the most impact?

· Don't try to do everything at the same time. Plan your year by quarters, and spread out your goals evenly in each quadrant.

· Put your big goals further out into the future, and make your short-term goals smaller. Be realistic. Many people take on too much before they're ready. Take baby steps.

3. Ask for what you want. Tune into your wisdom.

Ask for the universe's help in your endeavors. Listen, see or feel what it is you want to ask for. This asking is about honoring your relationship with the Source. You'll get more results the more you ask, listen and receive in alignment with the Source.

This practice will also remind you of the distinction between your creative power of intention and the universe's role in co-creating with you. It's this dance between creative vision, taking action and being receptive to spiritual guidance that creates a meaningful life.
