But part of that society is telling that your reality is what and how you make it if you work around how you relate your body, this translates to how you make a relationship with your life.

A lot of women actually like letting down their hair sometimes, taking the backseat, and releasing control over to men.

In the modern day spirituality movement for women, it’s natural to tap into the light side because it’s easy and comfortable and there is now double standard that comes along with it. The dark side of the Goddess movement touches on this edgy aspect of searching for your sensuality and humanity.

By acknowledging this dark side, you also acknowledge your imperfections and negative aspects of your life like being selfish and greedy. This in turn will lead to better understanding your desires and intuition.

There are many cultures across the world where the image of women is projected as the victim archetype. For them to find true love, they must wait for their prince charming riding out into the sunset.

There is this place of owning the experience, taking charge and mastering the relationship and not be just a damsel in distress.
