Awaken The Queen

Mention of the word ‘Queen’ will usually bring forth names and images of women stately and royal. Queen Elizabeth, Cleopatra, Princess Diana, Empress Catherine, Empress Suiko, Queen Victoria, Nefertiti, Rani Laxmibai. That was then, in the era of Monarchy. Today, aren’t we all born as Princesses in our own little kingdoms?

I remember growing up as a Tom-boy instead of a dainty-girl because it was cooler and also wanting to toughen up as I graduated from college before stepping into the Corporate world.

And it’s no fault of anyone – it’s just been the way we’ve known things to be or our understanding of the world as we have seen it.

Eons of years ago, women were the fairer gender, not to say we aren’t now, but merely the acceptance of owning the feminine aspect of what we embody is so powerful. Unfortunately, we’ve not been taught how to tap into it or utilize it enough. Feminine power is similar to a magnet – its role is to be energized from within, attract by its intrinsic strength, and then impact through its vibration. Feminine power already has the elements of manifesting and the abilities to create and multiply.

Look around and you will see powerful women in every field and walk of life that have connected with their spirit within – the literary Jane Austen, war-hero nurse Florence Nightingale, scientist and discoverer of radioactivity Marie Curie, fashionista Coco Chanel, missionary Mother Teresa, media legend Oprah Winfrey, billionaire author JK Rowling, activist Malala Yousafzai, actress Marilyn Monroe, first mountaineer to ascend all the seven summits Junko Tabei, conservationalist Jane Goodall, and very recently politician Kamala Devi Harris. The list doesn’t end here, there are many more names that can fill pages upon pages.

March being the month of International Woman’s Day, it’s time to awaken to your inherent powers and make a difference to yourself and the world at large. Here are five steps to awaken that Queen that’s been napping (if at all) a little too long.
