9 Ways to Connect to Your Inner Goddess: A Beginner's Guide

Before we get into the heart of this guide, let’s talk briefly about who it’s for, what I mean by inner goddess, and what it means to connect with your inner goddess. Then we'll begin talking about how to do it.

My Intention for this Guide

This guide is most likely to benefit healers and lightworkers who know they are here to help build the new earth, but who sometimes struggle to connect to the truth of who they are. And especially those who wonder if they will ever be able to live from that connected place.
​
Most of us identify with the false self we created to survive childhood and to successfully make our way in the world. And unlearning this idea that that is who we are, rather than a role we played, takes practice and patience.
​
But the more we connect, the more familiar our real self becomes, and the easier it will be to tap into that higher frequency version of ourselves.

What is an Inner Goddess?

​As I conceptualize it, the inner goddess is the divine feminine energy within every woman. It’s the divine self within you.
​
But to me, it feels more personal to move the needle from general divine self to divine feminine. And as soon as I began to try to connect with that energy, connecting with my divinity became easier.

With the inner goddess, limitless power is dressed in softer energy. And boundless love feels gently, or at times, fiercely, maternal.
​
Does that make sense? For me, as soon as I even think “inner goddess,” I feel the internal shift. And that excited me so much, I stopped wanting just to speak of the divine self, without also talking about the divine feminine self.

What it Means to Connect to
​the Inner Goddess

​It means tapping into empowered strength, deep wisdom, and feminine creativity. It means dropping into your heart and connecting from that place.

This guide will continue to answer those questions as we go along, but I wanted you to be able to read with some context before we began.
​

​

Let's look at how you can connect more deeply  to your inner goddess...

(1) Tapping into Feminine Energy

Your inner goddess wants to live in the peace that feminine energy nurtures. The divine feminine thrives in our internal world, therefore your inner goddess requires reflection, meditation and rest. If you can master the art of doing "nothing," you can start to embrace your inner goddess.

The inner goddess is feminine. It’s the part of you that inherently knows your worth, strength, and potential.

It's feminine energy characterized by flow, intuition, and nurturing. To tap into this side of yourself, start by embracing empathy, vulnerability, and patience.

​Activities such as moon rituals, engaging with water elements, or simply allowing yourself to experience and express emotions freely can enhance your connection to feminine energy.

Here are other ways to connect to feminine energy...

(1) Let go of controlling the outcome - instead of focusing on the exact way you want something to show up or happen in your life, make a commitment to going with the flow.

(2) That also means to allow time for rest.

And by rest, I don't just mean getting enough sleep. I also mean down time, where basically, you're not doing anything. 

In our hustle culture, where we've all been programmed to rush and hurry and do, until we drop, taking time just to be and to rest is a radical and revolutionary act.

A central tenet of hustle culture seems to be that self-worth is determined by how hard we work—and that taking time off or prioritizing self-care shows a lack of commitment, or, worse, is a sign of weakness. - Fast Company

But the hustle culture is false matrix. In the real one, even the divine rested when she finished creating our world.

(3) Carve out time for pampering yourself and make your own well-being a priority.

(4) Nurture your connections with other women. make time for the sacred connections you have with other women and immerse yourself in feminine energy.

(5) Listening to, singing along with or dancing to music that moves you emotionally. Here's a song that offers the frequency of love... 

​(2) Slow Living & Sacred Self-Care

These activities foster a deep, intimate relationship with yourself, which is the foundation for expansion and ascension. And what I'm learning from my own experience is that the more contemplative moments you have in your day, the better your inner goddess experience will be.

You'll know yourself better in two ways. You'll  feel the energy and higher frequency of your divinity more often. But you'll also become more aware of your shadow self.

The magic happens as you introduce the two parts of yourself and allow the love, power, light codes and higher frequency of your goddess self to bring light to the shadows. That is sacred self-care at its best.

There are lots of ways to do this, including meditation, journaling, slow sacred rituals. But I am finding that I need more than just a dedicated morning routine, even if there's also an evening one.

In order to have a lasting experience of your divinity throughout the day, you're likely to need unstructured time in addition to the daily ritual you intend.

Even just pausing for a few minutes and placing your hands over your heart can create brief moments of connection.

But you may find that creating a slower, more contemplative lifestyle serves you best.

The promise or reward is a greater awareness of the truth of who you are, that over time becomes a natural, easy everyday experience.

​

(3) Tune in to Your Intuition

Intuition is the inner goddess’s voice, guiding you through life’s decisions with wisdom and clarity.

​Strengthen your intuition by making time for silence, observing your thoughts and feelings, and trusting your gut. The more you listen to and act on your intuition, the more aligned you will feel with your true path.

I recommend making time every day to sit quietly and listen with your heart open to any guidance you might receive.

Take a moment to try it right now.

Let's start with an exercise I think of as goddess breathing or divinity breathing. You can put your hand(s) over your heart if you'd like, and as you take in a slow deep breath, breathe in the presence of your inner goddess.

Breathe in her love. Breathe in her comfort.

Now sit quietly for a moment and ask her these questions. See what comes to you.

(1) What do I need to let go of today?

​(2) What do I need more heart room for today?

(4) Spending Time in Nature

Nature is nurturing and healing, which resonates with the essence of the divine feminine.

​Spending time in nature helps you feel connected to the earth and its cycles. And doing so is likely to remind you to honor the cycles within your own. It also can remind you of the power of growth and renewal.

Confession - because of severe allergies, my own connection to nature often happens through the window. But don't knock it 'til you've tried it. I often forge very strong connections to the trees around my homes.

So find your own ways to connect, even if you can't spend lots of time outdoors. The connection you create will open you up in ways you might otherwise miss out on.

Here are a couple of videos you can use to connect right now. Take a few minutes with each one...
​

(5) Set Boundaries & Honor them

Boundaries are essential for your well-being and self-respect. They allow you to honor your needs and feelings, creating space for your inner goddess to flourish.

​But many of us who are healers and lightworkers struggle to establish and maintain them.

​If you're an empath like me, you are likely to have thoughts and feelings and impulses and attitudes that aren't even yours. But they feel like they are, so that makes maintaining the boundaries you need even harder.

Difficult or not, though, learning to say no without guilt, communicate your needs clearly, and distance yourself from situations or relationships that drain your energy is an important part of connecting to your inner goddess. It's a way to practice knowing, connecting with and being the most authentic version of yourself.
​

(6) Mindfulness Meditation 

Mindfulness is the art of being present and fully engaged with whatever you're doing. It helps you appreciate the beauty of the moment. And that mindful awareness can foster a deep connection with your inner self.

You can p​ractice mindfulness through meditation, mindful eating, or simply observing your thoughts and emotions without judgment. This last part is super important, because judgment lowers your frequency, and when you connect to your inner goddess, your energy frequency is higher.

In the beginning though, making time for a meditation practice may be the easiest way to begin to deepen your connection to your inner goddess. But creating mindful moments can be a great additional source of support for connecting to your goddess self.

Try this brief mindful moment...

Take a deep breath in, and as you let it out, notice any areas of tension in your body. With your next breath, hear the word "peace" in your mind, and send that peace to each of those tense places, pausing for a moment to let it settle in. Now try breathing in your divinity, allowing it to settle in the space around you. Can you feel its comfort? Take one more slow breath and then head back into your day.

Here's are two 7-minute mindfulness meditations you can try.

The first one is accompanied by beautiful nature scenes and bird sounds. It's focus is helping you practice being in the present moment.

The second one begins with mindful breathing but then focuses on encouragement, on self-acceptance, on giving yourself permission to slow down and on a few affirmations you can say internally, such as I am enough, and others.

I actually like the second one a lot better, so you may want to try that one first.

(7) Practicing Forgiveness 

​Forgiveness, both towards yourself and others, is such a powerful tool for healing. It frees you.

It's hard to know how heavy the weight is of what has not yet been forgiven, until you're able to let it go. Letting go is about more than blame. It's also about releasing resentment.

When you can let it go, you can embrace compassion and understanding.

Here's the thing - the 3D game is rigged, the script written long before you or anyone you've ever known, was born. Keeping that in mind has transformed the way I feel about my traumatic childhood and the parents who created it.

When you are willing to practice forgiveness, you  release yourself from the past and can open your heart, which will change both your present and your future.

Is there anything you want to offer forgiveness to, in this moment? Go ahead and let it go, and feel the peace that takes its place.

(7) Prioritizing Self-Love

​Self-love is the foundation of connecting with your inner goddess. It means accepting yourself fully, treating yourself with kindness, and not settling for less than you deserve.

It also paves the way for the acceptance that will need to be a constant companion.

There's a tension between the empowered and limitless feeling you have as you connect to the divine feminine. But ten minutes later, you might react to something negative in a way you wish you hadn't.

The goal - accept all the imperfections while at the same time being present as your goddess self. Love them, again and again, until they begin to dissolve in that love.

​Make a commitment to incorporate self-love practices into your routine, such as daily affirmations, self-care rituals, and surrounding yourself with people who celebrate and see the beauty and the light in you.

Try it now - pause for a moment and see if you can feel the love of your goddess self.

Once you can, try saying an affirmation, like I love you forever, no matter what. You are my person and I'll always love you.

Here's a 5-minute self-love meditation you can try. Although the voice is male, imagine that he is conveying the heart thoughts of your inner goddess, or of the divine mother.

(8) Creating Sacred Rituals

Rituals create a sense of sacredness and connect you to your spiritual essence.

Make your daily rituals sacred, including morning meditations, full moon ceremonies, self-care Sundays, or other rituals that will support spiritual connection. 

Feel free to add in cozy elements, too. Although your intention is sacred, that doesn't mean that the ritual itself can't be cozy, lighthearted or fun, at times.

They also don't need to be long to be powerful. Especially once you get used to recognizing the energy of your inner goddess.

Here's an example...

(1) Light a tealight candle.

(2) Breathe deeply and slowly for a minute.

(3) Then focus on the candle flame.

(4) Jot down a few words to describe your experience, plus any messages or guidance.

(5) Blow out the candle.
​

(9) Setting Aligned Intentions

One practice that may help you feel more connected to your inner goddess is to honor her voice and her guidance by setting intentions that are aligned with her vision of your future. Because she's already there and knows exactly how to lead you from here to the future she has planned.

In my own experience, it's not always easy to know the difference between what I think I want, and what would be best. So for me, this recommendation underscores the need to carve out plenty of time for a slower pace and a closer connection.

When something strikes you as the best idea you've ever had, proceed slowly. If you're an idea machine like me, that happens to you all the time, as does the regret from choices you made that turned out not to be aligned.

Try this during your rituals - make a cup of tea, grab your journal, and open to a blank page. if you are making a decision, talk it out, slowly, in writing, pausing for guidance. If you aren't sure of your direction, meditate with no agenda and see what comes to you, in pictures, in words, in a sense that you later gives words to, etc. 

Some of my best days are the ones that are somewhat open and I am flowing from one guided activity to another.
