How to Become a Radiant Woman

Can you define peak feminine radiance?

It’s about how wide and how bright in your loving heart can you be in every moment and every situation, no matter what’s going on in your life. Heart open, a yes to love.

How does someone achieve that?

With the intention of knowing. To be of an open heart is the first step. Any suffering in the world, any tension is because you’ve separated yourself from your true nature, which is one of love. It does not stop flowing. Because we’ve been hurt or someone has said we’re too much or not enough, we’ve closed over this natural state. That tightening causes suffering. 

I’ve been married to the same man for 22 years now, and we’ve had our ups and downs. We have two grown kids close in age. We came from two different cultural backgrounds as well. What I’ve learned is that to the extent with which I can say, “I love you. I will stay on course,” I get to relax and feel true beauty.

Can you take us through an exercise to experience peak radiance?

Think of some moment in your life where you have been in an extremely loving place. Your heart is open so wide. Maybe you held a newborn baby. Or you’ve  been to an amazing place in nature. 

We’re going to call that your peak radiance moment. 

Now let go of that, and have a sense of yourself hear and now. For example, ‘I’m sitting here, and I’ve got the phone to my ear, and I’m in a place of rest.”

Now, say one thing about that. 

Let go of that. Now go to that peak radiance moment, where you felt your heart was wide open.

Go back and forth and back and forth, each time saying one word until the two merge into one.

When you are there [in peak radiance], you demonstrate it with your eyes. It’s your most divine clothing. It’s awakening who you are at your deepest core. You bring that to who you are. You will be that radiant light.

Now take a deep breath in and out, and draw in infinite light into your being. Let it be like a rain of grace. Breath it in from your head to your toes. Exhale that infinite light, and let it extend out into the space of everyone who loves you and needs love.

What’s your morning ritual?

My morning rituals shift and change based on where I’m at in my life. Now, I enjoy breathing in fresh air from my garden. Then, I read something that’s inspiring to me. I am reading Dear Lover, by David Deida. It’s written as if he’s our dear lover. I read a chapter from his book, and it awakens a part of me. I’ll then have a shower, play some music, and move my body, massage myself, and bring myself into the embodiment of the words I read.

I always read something that inspires me to awaken me to my feminine being.

Or I’ll do yoga every other morning to move my body.

Set aside even fifteen minutes every morning that awakens you, and take that to a movement practice. Breathe in the fresh air and get into nature. [Whatever works for you to connect to your feminine radiance.]
