Reclaiming the Body as Sacred
Our bodies are not just vessels; they are sacred spaces of creation, intuition, and strength. In this patriarchal world, we are often taught to disconnect from our physical selves, leading to feelings of disempowerment, shame, or fear. But the goddess within reminds us that our bodies are divine.
To reclaim body autonomy is to reconnect with the power that resides within you. Through healing and embodiment, you can step into your sacred sovereignty and honor your body as a temple."

Steps:
Prepare Your Space:
Create a quiet, sacred environment with calming music, dim lighting, and any goddess symbols that resonate with you.

Say: “I release fear and shame. I reclaim my body as sacred.”
Releasing Ceremony:
Write down the fears, traumas, or societal messages about your body you wish to release.
Light the black candle. Hold the paper and say: “These no longer have power over me.” Safely burn the paper (or rip it up).
Renewal Ceremony:
Dip your hands into the water or sprinkle it on your face and body, symbolizing cleansing and renewal.

Affirming Body Autonomy Through the Goddess
The goddess within you is a force of creation, resilience, and sovereignty. She reminds you that your body is not something to control, punish, or diminish—it is a sacred extension of your soul. By reclaiming your body, you reclaim your power. By honoring your autonomy, you step into the divine feminine energy that flows through you.
Affirmations to Repeat:
“My body is sacred and worthy of love.”
“I trust my body’s wisdom and honor its rhythms.”
“I release what no longer serves me and embrace my divine power.”
