Goddess Resolutions for 2008
An ACNielsen survey of 22,000 people in 46 countries revealed these new year's resolutions at the top of most people's list:
-
1. Get fitter (62 percent)
-
2. Strike a better balance between work and play (51 percent)
-
3. Avoid disastrous relationships (I’d reckon this would be just about everyone!)
What happened to the good old-fashioned pipe dream of losing the beach ball off your butt? Or having Brad Pitt’s baby? Or getting a motorbike license? (These have all been perennial favorites of mine for, oh, 10 years now?)
Resolutions are made with the best intent -- who doesn’t make a promise to improve health, seek prosperity, fall in love and find lots of joy? And all before breakfast?
But deep down we all know a new year’s resolution is really something that goes in one year and out the other.
Have faith. Yemaya is here. West African, Brazilian and Afro-Caribbean goddess Yemaya is Mother Water, orisha of the oceans. She protects us through all the highs and lows, even during the worst atrocities like when you make a really, really bad New Year’s resolution.
She reminds women to take time out for ourselves, to nurture our own needs and to respect our deserved position in life.
That’s all well and good for the New Year, but what about the rest of the year? Well, the key to making a good sticky resolution that you can actually keep resides in your goddess birth sign.
Goddess birth signs are similar to astrology in that they define who you are and what your life purpose may be. Once you understand which goddess energy is resonating strongest in you, you can then enhance these strengths to achieve the ultimate balance in spiritual and practical life.
Everything you do, say or bite can be traced back to your goddess archetype. So in between shower rituals to celebrate Yemaya’s water energies, empower your inner goddess for the rest of your year with the best resolution to suit you, here.
