Anita Revel - Inner Goddess

Inner goddess is a concept used in popular psychology and women's circles to denote the feminine aspect of a woman's psyche. When a woman is able to transcend inhibitive social expectations or perceived behavioral requirements and instead act in a way that is right for her, she is said be honoring her inner goddess. Anita defines the inner goddess as "... the beautiful, sassy, intuitive, lovable, sacred and authentic Self that we were born to be."

The concept has been explored by various activisits and writers such as Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen, feminist and activists Starhawk and Zsuzsanna Budapest and the Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, but is only in recent times that "inner goddess" is entering mainstream vernacular.

Anita is a new generation writer that explores the topic prolifically. She has developed a 7-point checklist to give women guidelines for reconnecting with their inner goddess. A goddess is someone who:

• Celebrates her physical body and her connection to Earth, family and humanity
• Is comfortable with infinite abundance, emotional flow and creative freedom
• Is proud of her Self and her actions in all her aspects
• Fosters mutually fulfilling relationships at all levels
• Speaks her truth with diplomacy and shares her learnings with grace
• Clearly knows what is right for her, and acts in honour of her innate wisdom and intuition
• Revels in her divine purpose/work with gratitude, dignity and generosity
