Step Into Your Warrior Goddess

HeatherAsh Amara did a long Toltec apprenticeship and teaching partnership with Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements. Here she shares with us how we can step into our power and creative flow by reclaiming our Warrior Goddess energy.

Become the woman you are meant to be

I have noticed that many women have a lot of external freedoms, especially women in the West, but we do not have as many internal freedoms. So while we can vote and choose who we want to partner with and have whatever job we want, we don’t necessarily have the same level of spaciousness inside of ourselves, as many women compare themselves, judge themselves, use teachings against themselves, and have low self-worth. This insight inspired me to create the Warrior Goddess training, and those two words – warrior and goddess – are two energetic qualities I feel are really important for women to embrace in order to help them become free on the inside and become who they were meant to be.

The warrior energy is all about focus and commitment; it is about saying 100% yes to yourself and to your path. So often, women are busy committing to everybody else and looking at how they can help and support others, whilst putting themselves last, and the warrior energy helps women to really bring themselves to the forefront and listen to what they want and to what is important to them.

The goddess energy is about opening, receptivity and creativity. There are so many different manifestations of the goddess, so it is about honouring that we are exploring what it means to be ourselves, and that we are learning to love all of ourselves – our emotional body, our physical body, our mental body and our energetic body – and in this way become more intimate with ourselves.

It is not that we are here to become 50% warrior and 50% goddess, but instead we are here to find out what our perfect blend is. Some women are a lot more warrior oriented, and that is just how their expression is, whilst other women are much more goddess oriented. And as we move through life we learn how to use these two energies really skilfully so that we can go back and forth between them as needed.
