The
spiritually empowered woman is enriched with inner strength and self-esteem.
Spirituality is
about wholeness/holiness/alignment with the emotional, intellectual, psychic
and physical self. Spirituality connects the Consciousness/Inner-self with the
emotional, intellectual, and physical self (Body, Mind, Spirit) This bridge
leads to Women’s Spiritual Empowerment The spiritually empowered woman has
become fully self-aware and has awakened these divine qualities, her Goddess
within; awakening the consciousness. This deepened awareness is empowering
because it reveals moments of a higher inspiration which points to a dimension
of self that imbues an energy, confidence and strength to pursue her higher
purpose.
As
she has rediscovered herself through awakening her consciousness, she knows how
to move through the world with power and grace.
Empowerment
holds the key to freedom and raising the status of women in the society. Economic
independence and the financial security come with it. It gives self-confidence
to a woman.
She
knows her worth and her divine qualities; she is a planet of faith.
Spirituality is
all about wellbeing and wholeness. Women’s Spirituality is a bridge between her
body and Goddess within. When a woman is well-equipped with spiritual power
within and self-awareness she can maintain her self-confidence and self-esteem
even in the face of difficulties in life such as challenging relationships,
financial or job-related stresses, and the day-to-day issues many women deal
with in fulfilling their responsibilities.
She
knows how much to give and how much to take by choice NOT by force. As her life
is her own creation, she lives with self-confidence and self-initiation. She
has power to speak the truth with courage and strength. She knows now she is
the wisdom of mankind and powerhouse to enrich the world.
The spiritually
empowered woman embraces the fullness of who she is as an individual. This
gives her the strength to reach out to and offer help to other women. By living
fully in herself, the spiritually empowered woman moves towards others not from
a place of need or desire for outward validation, but from an inner drive to
bond in sisterhood, beyond self-concern and insecurities, to help others reach
their fullest potential.
She,
like a Universal Mother, is Chosen by God to bring forth new life because she
is loving, caring and sharing. As she has realized the Divine Power within, she
lives by choices NOT by chances.
For decades the
women’s movement has helped affect a sea change in the level of respect and
empowerment afforded women at all levels of society. Worldwide there are well
regarded leaders in government and industry that are women.
Yet what’s
lacking is a fundamental core belief that these women are serving a role that
they feel isn’t detracting from who they are as women. Historically and
culturally, women’s roles have been defined biologically; that they first are
wife and mother. As Elizabeth Debold and Mary Adams write in the 5th
of the Ten Agreements, “while for thousands of years, the identity of a woman
has been inseparable from being mother or lover, I no longer build my
fundamental sense of self and confidence on roles that spring from woman’s
biological function. While I may consciously CHOOSE to take on these roles or
not, I am actively cultivating a self-confidence that comes from a deeper
dimension of my self”.
The spiritually
empowered woman sees beyond these constraints and has the confidence, at her
center, of her own direction. Self-awareness and spiritual empowerment are
the keys to freedom and raising the status of women in the society
(Financially, socially), whether they decide to pursue having a family, a
career or both.
The spiritually empowered woman is no longer a poor woman; she is full
of Love, Peace and Anandam and ready to share with the world.
Spiritually empowered women have attained a
full awareness of themselves at their deepest dimension which generates a more
profound relationship with life. By tapping into this dimension, our attention
is redirected from our lower impulses thereby radically changing our
relationships and the bonds we forge with other women and with men. We become
equal and supportive to one another.
