What are your personal feminine gifts? And are you now ready to step into your power?

There has been much conversation concerning how women and men speak different languages and look at things differently.  When researching my book, “Awakening The Essential Feminine: Claiming Your Influential Power” I learned that there really is a feminine perspective informed by specific attributes, gifts and talents.  Our brain biology; socialization and whole perspective is different.  Our sisters the suffragettes created an opening where our voices could be heard.  Our later sisters fought for the Equal Rights Amendment which moved us towards an equal footing in business and finance.  Today we face the next movement.  This is the movement to claim and fully live our Essential Feminine.

Often women’s confidence is shaken because we don’t fully understand or claim these natural gifts.  For many women they have been convinced that these gifts are inferior aspects of being.  For us to gain confidence in this world, we first need to “know thyself”.  Once we know ourselves, we then need to believe in ourselves and allow ourselves the opportunity to fully express the amazing beings that we are.  If your confidence has ever been shattered, stand back and rebuild it.  Bring yourself to the company of other women who can serve as models or guides.  If you have strong confidence, look at a sister who does not and guide her.  Point out what is amazing in her.  If she is young, support her to understand the unique and special meaning of her life.  Confidence prevails when we are deeply aware of our meaning.

Sometimes we just need support and clarity to see our own power and strength. You are unique and greatly needed in this world. Be sure to learn your strengths and to fully show up.

You Are The One You Have Been Waiting For

These times are great times if we stay wide awake and ride the wild horse- called -life with a sense of adventure. You have so much– so many gifts, talents and you carry great power. Opportunities abound and life can now be easier than ever if you tap into and live from who – you really are.

Take a moment to reflect on wherein your life that there are more openings and opportunities for you.  I suggest that if you are interested in creating a life of greater ease and meaning that you answer this question.

·         How well do you know yourself? (Are there external voices and influences confusing you?)

·         What do you now need to create, allow or invite into your life?

·         Are you committed to taking your life to the next level?

·         If so, what does that look like?

·         If not, what’s stopping you?

·         Commit to one small step to move you forward on your path

If you need support- clarifying or creating this new way of being and living…

join me for a refreshing Life Force Activation Session this summer!

A Fun Radio Show Link and Life Force Activation comes alive!

Last weekend I was a guest on KGO Radio here in the Bay Area!  I was discussing Life Force Activation – my new work.  Many people have requested the link to the show.  Here it is!  http://www.maureensimonconsulting.com/#!resources/c1xyd

Women are craving more life force in their day-to-day lives.  Maureen Langan and I talked about this in the radio interview.  She is a wonderful comedian with a great personality who truly understands women.  During the interview she asked me a number of questions about why women need to activate their life force at this time.  To me it is very clear that women hold a unique power.  Unless we are clear about our gifts and how we want to use them we stagnate and lose energy and power.  After launching coaching in the U.K., designing hundreds of businesses with women, writing a book on our feminine attributes and hosting online courses for thousands of women, I can clearly see that the next step is to activate our life force.  Interested in learning more?  http://www.maureensimonconsulting.com/#!life-activation/c1m17

Let me know if a session would be useful to you. 
I’m extending the Life Force Activation session special through June.

Life must be lived well and fully!

Enjoy.

Explore Your Own Higher Altitudes- Meditate – Go Within!

“Explore your own higher altitudes…Nay be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels not of trade but of thought.  Every man (woman) is the lord of a realm beside which the earthly empire of the Czar is but a petty state, a hummock left by the ice.”

Henry D. Thoreau “On Man & Nature”

Much of our life is lived in the invisible. We have the option of a conscious spiritual inner life and we can make important life decisions informed from within. And if we chose, we can commit to a deeper – richer inner world. Sit quietly- learn to still your mind. Notice what thoughts and feelings come in. Allow yourself to hear and feel yourself. It is in the higher altitude that you will truly know yourself and your needs and from this knowledge live a rich life of meaning.

Happy flying!

We Define and Attract Our Success and Happiness? Are You Ready?

“You are a human magnet and you are constantly attracting to you people whose characters harmonize with your own.” – Napoleon Hill

Empowered, successful, alive women create their lives from their imagination. They attract the exact right people and the exact right experiences at the right time.  As we women move into positions of greater success and influence we learn that within our imagination we hold the power to recreate our lives and manifest far more than we believe– on a day-to-day basis. The art of manifesting success includes one’s ability to clearly define a desired outcome or way of being and to believe and work towards this way of being and living daily.  Setting clear intention(s) is the first step in designing the life that you desire.

(A group of us are coming together to do an intentional setting Master Mind February 27 through March 20^th –take a look and join us if this appeals to you) Find out more about my Mini Mastermind here!

Never be afraid to think big and design your new reality to include things that both feel good and provide you with opportunities for growth.  It is time for us women to live and lead lives that are creative and hold influence and success. We often beaver away in our own world, viewing life through a small and limited lens.  Now’s the time to expand our visions and to begin to see the world in a whole new way! Ready?

Join me for our new Mini Master Mind on February 27^th. .

Why are masterminds so popular?

Recently I’ve received a few emails from ladies in our community asking me questions about The Essential Feminine Company and how to grow their business. I’m going to be sharing the questions and answers with our community on Facebook but I also thought I would share them here with you. Enjoy! ~ Maureen

#1. What kind of foundation does a business need to be sustainable?

Maureen: A clear vision, conviction and diligence. A great team and support system.

#2. How did you know as a new business owner when it was time to invest in yourself?

Maureen: I started to invest in myself on Day 1 before I even worked with my first client. I have kept self investment as a priority. Self investment to me means, optimum self-care, putting yourself first when you need to, downtime and knowing the things that light up your soul and building them into your week.

#3. Why are masterminds so popular?

Maureen: I started my current business out of the spark I received from a mastermind I was in 10 years ago. Since then I have set up and facilitated many. Masterminds are the quickest most cost-effective way to get clear, focused, motivated and to be held accountable with measurable results for your vision.  

Masterminds are in – women do best in collaborative environments. And good Masterminds are for those creating “real deal” businesses. ~ Maureen

News Flash: Circles- Forming Around The World To Awaken Our Essential Feminine?

I was rereading a blog that one of our most prolific bloggers Judie Fouchaux did a while back and was inspired by it. I guess because I have myself fully re-submerged myself in my own– Awakening the Essential Feminine Claiming your Influential Power. I have just completed designing our new course –The Essential Feminine Facilitator Training-      http://theessentialfeminine.com/events. I am so excited as the course has within it –the very ability to transform the world as we know it today!

The facilitator Training is designed for therapists, counselor’s doctors and women who serve women and for women who want to create circles where women can learn about specific assets that we naturally have — that are very much needed in our world. Join us for a four week certified training beginning on March 15^th…. You may never see the world in the same way again!

Judie blog that I mentioned – quite inspiring!:

Often we live our lives busy with the details and overlooking the big picture.  We are making things happen, taking care of business, ourselves, our families.  We overlook some things in favor of what appears the next necessary thing to do.  In this way, important parts of us can fall asleep or can hide rather like dust bunnies in the corners of our nature.  These are the parts of ourselves that Maureen Simon addresses in her new book “Awakening The Essential Feminine: Claiming Your Influential Power.”

Impossible!  Not so.  As bright young women fairly sure of ourselves we move out into a world which is dominated by a masculine mind set.  Sometimes we are actually told, “You don’t think the way I do, with the implication that the way “I do” is the superior way to think.  After all it is “logical”.  Looking around at society it does seem to be the preferred way of thinking.  With that influence around us, it is no wonder that we have devalued our gifts, our natural way of being in the world to take on a costume that all too soon becomes our reality.

However, by going in that direction, we are leaving behind valuable gifts that were meant to be a balance in the world, a balance we need now more than ever.   As Maureen points out, these gifts were given to us in greater proportion as women.  They are as important to our being women as the other attributes that differentiate us from men.  They include our way of thinking.

Women’s thinking is naturally collaborative, inclusive, interconnected, intuitive, empathetic, and flexible.  Her brain makes it so.  When Professor Higgins asks, “Why can’t women think like a man?” he overlooks a basic fact.  They weren’t meant to think like men.  We were meant to think like women and bring balance and harmony in the world.

Now with the world in such chaos it is time to awaken our dormant attributes.   By awakening The Essential Feminine within we can begin Claiming Our Influential Power.

Some Thoughts For Thanksgiving Week

Our world seems overwhelmed by chaos.  The problems we face are monumental and interconnected to the rest of the world and we don’t seem to be able to hide our heads under the blankets any longer and have them all go away.  In fact, the only solutions seem to be ones in which we take collaborative action; actions requiring us to put aside our inner fears, our negative approach and to move into unfamiliar waters.

Collaborative action is based in putting aside personal interests and needs for the benefit of a larger goal.  It takes inclusiveness, seeing oneself as part of a larger whole, walking in someone else’s shoes.  These qualities are especially strong in women.  By their very nature they are peace makers, interested in building strong relationships, looking for common bonds and shared interests.  These are just some of the feminine attributes that women possess which we need to rely on to overcome the chaos.

Many women are taking a more powerful stance today.  If you haven’t viewed “Women, War and Peace” yet, be sure to see this amazing documentary showing what women in war torn areas of our world have been doing to change not only their lives but all our lives.  These women are using their attributes in a positive way.  Now is the time for us to realize that these natural attributes, too long overlooked and/or negated, are crucial for positive change today and in the future.  We need to encourage ourselves and our young women to value our feminine perspective.  It is only through the addition of the feminine perspective that we will achieve balance and peace in our world.
