Are You Being Flexible?
Hello Goddess Sistars!


I so wanted to start
this newsletter off by saying I am sitting here with herbal tea in hand & a fresh fruit platter next to me but that would be a lie… I have a big coffee (albeit
in my Goddess cup) and just snacked on a little bit of chockie and feeling very
excited (caffeine kicking in now) to be reconnecting with all of you wonderful
Goddess women again after a bit of a long break from writing.


You see the past month
has
been a bit of a journey. Things on the home front were not so rosey (ahh
challenges don’t you love em). I had a little bit of the “shiny things”
syndrome & procrastination got in there with feeling totally overloaded
with the tasks that had to be done on the work front as well as the home front.


I went away for a few
days with family to the Gold Coast, went on some rides at a theme park and came
home with a very very sore neck. To me
the sore neck indicated somehow I had to deal with being more flexible. I can
blame the “Scooby doo ghost ride” all I like, but in my heart my “pain in the
neck” was representing to me a deeper issue (challenge) I needed to face.


So after some internal
reflection & 2 wonderful Bowen
sessions from my beloved Sister, the neck was getting better day by day. I
realised that this is a message from Goddess/Universe to slow down, look around
(that is hard with a sore neck) and see the messages that were being sent. And so I did.


I looked at what was
going on in my work life and my heart just bursts with joy when I think about
Goddess Playshops. The amazing women we connect with and inspire (and they
inspire me back). We had a wonderful Goddess Playshop last Sunday with 12
fabulous women and little Harrison who was a 6 month old baby. His mum brought
him along at the last minute and it was a joy to have his energy in the room
with us. With the neck still a little sore, these amazing women reflected back
to me that I am truly following my heart.


And so this was my
message this week – To follow your heart in all that you do. You know it when
you are, and you will be shown it when you are not (aka my neck pain
). As long as I can remember I have always been
able to see in people their true potential even when they at times could not,
of course this is reflective.


Dear Goddesses: there
may be times when we feel that we can’t have it all and I am here to remind you
that Yes you can. Keep that dream inside your heart alive and well. Be FLEXIBLE
in how that dream will manifest itself. Look AROUND you and see the wonderful
things you have already attracted, and be AMAZED as you follow your heart what
will unfold.


Have a wonderful week ahead dear Goddess and know
that someone is always here to support you.

Chakra Candles
Our beautiful Goddess Playshops Chakra Candle
250g

$ 29.95 each

We wanted to create an original meditation candle that you could use
over and over again on your journey through the chakras. So we came up with
this idea… a “reverse chakra candle” — it looks like it’s upside
down, but really, it’s the right-way up!
As you light the 100% organic wick,
you will immediately feel your base chakra awaken – the top layer of the candle
melts first to invigorate the lowest chakra in your body. As you journey
UPWARDS from the base chakra to the crown, the candle burns DOWNWARDS from the
base to the crown!
This candle is your natural companion in more ways than one.
It is made from 100% pure soy wax, Goddess-ence 100% pure essential oil blends
and organic wick. So not only is it good for the environment, it is also good
for your soul.
Blended with love and integrity in Western Australia, this “reverse
chakra candle” is designed to burn for over 45-50 hours. Perfect for your
home, office and meditation space. These are exclusive to Goddess Playshops. Each layer represents our Chakra system and each individual layer has a
different 100% pure essential oil from our Goddess-ence range.

10 Simple Goddess Stress Relief Strategies
There’s no such thing as “stress free” (Sorry, but it’s true).  Stress
can easily grow into a monster, holding your inner peace and happiness hostage.  (Again sorry, but it’s true).


But there’s hope. You can
target and eliminate this monster.

All you need to do is…Be proactive.

You can gain control again and
enjoy your life as the true Goddess you are.

Handling Stress at Work


1. Keep an eye out for opportunities to
come. It could be a career change or

just a change in company.


2. Speak up with diplomacy and
truthfully . Don’t hold in what you need to express.


3. Try helping out a co-worker
- charitable Goddess acts are great stress
relievers.


4. Force yourself to smile.
‘Faking happiness’ will actually make it happen.


Dealing With Unavoidable
Stress


5. Stop and take 10 deep Goddess breaths before proceeding. (Yes, it’s
a cliche rule, but it still works)


6. Learn from the past. Once
you’ve
survived a stressful moment, reflect on ways you could have better handled it.


7. Accept the fact that you
can’t control anyone. You can only control your reaction.


8. Read something funny –

laughter is truly the best
medicine.


9. Address your stress – ignoring it just makes it worse.


Stress Relief


10. Go to a monthly
womens gathering (Goddess Playshop) and reconnect with your inner Goddess.


11.
Meditate or pray.

(just threw in an
extra!)
