What is an ‘Awakened Woman’?

An awakened woman is a woman who has reached a level of consciousness that allows her to see beyond the surface level of things and access the quantum realm (also known as ‘The Divine’). She is someone who has gone through a process of self-discovery (usually through painful and/or traumatic experiences) and has come out on the other side with a deeper understanding of herself and the world around her.

One of the key characteristics of an awakened woman is her ability to live in the present moment. She is someone who is fully engaged in the here and now, and is not distracted by worries about the past or future. This allows her to experience life more fully and to appreciate the beauty of the world around her.

As a result, she is able to connect with others on a deeper level. She is someone who is able to empathize with others and to understand their perspectives. This allows her to build strong relationships with those around her and to create a sense of community wherever she goes. In this respect, one of the defining characteristics of her life is: quality over quantity.

An awakened woman is someone who is committed to personal growth and development. She is always looking for ways to improve herself and to become a better version of herself. This means that she is open to new experiences and is willing to take risks in order to grow and learn.

One of the most important aspects of being an awakened woman is the ability to live a life of purpose – a purpose that honors the Divine within her. She is someone who has a clear sense of what she wants to achieve in life and is committed to making a positive impact on the world around her. This sense of purpose gives her a sense of direction and helps her to stay focused on her goals.

How can you become an awakened woman?

The first step is to start paying attention to your thoughts and feelings. Take some time each day to reflect on your experiences and to think about what you can learn from them. This will help you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the world. In doing this, it’s critical that you be honest with yourself – even if the truth hurts. This is because building a life on a lie (or lies) you tell yourself expose the life you build for yourself to be vulnerable to crumble with the truth – and we don’t want that. Awakened women build lives that last.

Another important step is to practice mindfulness. This means being fully present in the moment and paying attention to your surroundings. You can do this by practicing meditation, yoga, or simply taking a few deep breaths throughout the day. I practice mindfulness by coloring. No jokes. Take what resonates with you. If you’re not sure what to do, try out different activities and take note of how you feel during and after. If you feel a sense of calm, that’s that activity for you.

Finally, it’s important to surround yourself with positive influences. Seek out people who inspire you and who share your values. This will help you to stay motivated and to continue growing and learning. The wonderful thing is the people you choose to share your time and energy with can nourish your soul and be an invaluable source of joy and contentment. IT helps to view the people that you surround yourself with as your own ‘personal Garden of Eden’ that you both tend to and nourish, but also nourishes you through the pleasure you receive by engaging with it.

My Personal Experience

I grew up in a family of human traffickers. Yes, you read that right. Human traffickers. I grew up having my body used for profit, especially since the men in my family didn’t want to engage in honest work. Where was my mother you ask? Well, she was the one that sold me.

This horrible experience lasted decades and well into my adulthood. It affected every aspect of my life; so much so that, now I look back, it almost feels like I lived in a heavily curated version of ‘The Truman Show’ (but with the additional element of trying to make me out as mentally unbalanced to ensure it was as difficult as possible for me to exist ‘normally’ in the ‘real world’…. in other words, a world without them in it).

It was only after the demise of my marriage (which was orchestrated by my father himself) that I decided that I couldn’t live like this anymore. It was my “Aha!” moment. I remember going to a Grotto praying to God through the Virgin Mary to help me and deliver me from what I was going through. A week later, my ex-husband officially left me and before I knew it, I was living on a completely different continent, with a fresh start on my hands. I still can’t believe it, but I am deeply grateful for it.

“A ‘grotto’ is, it is natural or artificial cave where a person of any faith, struggling in faith, or no faith can come and place their minds and hearts with intentions before God.”

Rev. James Bracke

The first step I took was to heal – and this is what I’ve been doing over the last 12-15 months. What did this healing process look like? Well, for me, it took reliving all the trauma I’d survived and understanding it as an adult, not as the wounded and vulnerable child I had been when I experienced it. It also meant not making excuses for the behavior of loved ones, thinking that they didn’t know better, because guess what? They did know better. Staying silent to ‘keep the peace’ gave me no peace but allowed those taking advantage of me to continue to do so.

Healing was allowing myself the grace to remove everything that no longer served my peace of mind or the life I am currently building for myself. I have come to realize that I don’t need them at all; they needed me. It’s a beautiful dream that I never expected to become a reality. That’s funny. Let me come again… It is a beautiful reality that I’m glad I’ve come back to.

So yeah, an awakened woman comes in many shapes and sizes, but there the constant is that she stands proudly in her Divine authenticity. Allowing the light within to shine bright in every area in her life, energetically nurturing not only herself and those around her, but also ideas, projects and the values she upholds for her community at large. It truly has been a rewarding journey for me so far and I look forward to further sinking into the Divine within me.

I’d love to hear some of your stories. If you feel like sharing, please do so in the comments sections and let’s have a conversation about healing. I love you guys… so very much.

Enjoy!
