Harness the Power of Womanhood


Have you harnessed the power of your womanhood? Are you walking and living in strength and control? If you have been searching for something more in your life, perhaps it is time to become an empowered woman. Remember, the wise do not indulge in hopefulness, nor do they dwell in regret, but instead address things just as they are, so that with awareness, honesty and steadfastness they may go The Way in spiritual surrender.

LIVE LARGE EVERY DAY


Do you live your life with passion and conviction? Do you wake every day, seeking new possibilities along the horizon? Make every single day of your life better than the one before. How, you ask? By making the most of each moment, you will experience life in a much greater way than you ever imagined you could.


STOP CRITICISING YOURSELF

Do you condemn yourself at every turn? It is so easy to be cruel to yourself but self condemnation is nothing but harmful to you and your self-esteem.An empowered woman builds herself up by loving herself and being kind to herself. Harness your inner power by praising yourself for all your hard work. Recognize your strengths and accentuate them, instead of focusing on all the things that you don't like about yourself.


Why waste any time doing something that makes you miserable? That is total wasted time and energy that you could expend on doing what you love. Living a miserable existence can never compare to a life full of happiness and joy. Doing what you love opens that door to peace and contentment.


DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND BUILD HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS

















At the heart of every self-empowered woman, you will find solid, healthy relationships. Without this, you will feel unsteady and anxious. Healthy relationships are built upon a foundation of trust, honor, peace, moral values, and communication. Can you become an empowered woman? Absolutely! The choice is yours though. Now that you have some of the keys, start living your empowered life today.

Healing the Dark Night of the Soul


It's all coming to the forefront now - the next couple of years are going to be the most interesting and the most full of growth opportunities for people. Perhaps a dark night of the soul for many first, but nevertheless an opportunity to not only change the way we live, but also to change our perspective on how we want to live. Really think about what is important? Is it the money, is it the big car, is it the million dollar home? It isn't any of that. We don't need all this. It's our family and our friends that are important and who we are! Where are we going with ourselves? Have people looked inside themselves and said: 'I do all this work, I support other things and other people, but am I actually fulfilling what I want to do? Am I infact following my passion? Am I truly happy in my effort in what I have done. Have I made any difference whatsowever and what's going on here in the world? Now, you can be a clerk in a large corporation and say "...yeah, this is my life's fulfillment!" Well good for you, great. But I know in actuality there are far and few in between. People really need to start evaluating their live and get extremely creative in order to figure out what they can do to fulfill themselves - to fulfill their dreams to at least know what those dreams are and start going after them. Ultimately, when you come right down to it, the question that has to be asked is.....WHO AM I? What is it that I want? What is it that I am creating? What is it that I want to create? How much am I actually valued by myself my family? Am I loved? Am I respected? Am I following my hearts desire? Am I spiritually evolving? Or am I just on this automatic treadmill that the media and the all earth religions have put us on? You feel good on Sunday but by Wednesday it's all worn off. And that's because it's not genuine depth, it's not genuine happiness- it's instant salvation. And that doesn't work. It's not that anybody actually needs salvation, they just need to love themselves. And in finding that and in truly embracing that love, that passion for themselves and honouring themselves - you'll be amazed at how much waste that is right now in you life will just fall away. Because, what isn't real will just fall away. When you are actually on your path then it's all about self-responibility and that isn't going to change. That's where the real growth is and real evolution comes from...not who you are going to screw over next in order to amass more material gain.

Live pure and simple - creative solutions for an elegant life


I imagine picturing the interconnectedness between people, whilst embracing & affirming life. I want to communicate an idea of intensified, sophisticated simplicity, which makes room for what is wild, powerful, sensual and beautiful.I thus present my work in a lighter, warmer, more uplifting light – reflecting on our true perfection and conclusively arrive at a fresh, experimental approach which turns out to be quite unique, colourful and free-flowing. From the begining of my artistic career I specialized in dynamic, tactile, multi-layered patterns, whilst reflecting on our constant transition and physical complexity. Please see: www.annett-bank.co.uk

We need to give beauty a more relevant place in life and care for the soul, since the soul is nurtured by beauty. It’s not only pleasure and conviviality we thrive upon, but also on beauty, which is ultimately necessary for the return of the soul.Many of the beliefs that contemporary culture subscribes to today is that art is purely aesthetic and will never change the world. I believe however that when art actively engages with people’s issues it is often intensely aesthetic, because it responds compassionately to whatever it is touched by and is therefore helping to create a more beautiful world.

regaining buoyancy

When you have aquired enough enery, you are ready to consciously engage evolution, to start flowing , to produce the coincidences that will lead you forward. Remember to stop as often as neccessary to re-connect your energy. Stay full, stay in a state of love. Remember that once you achieve this state of love, nothing nor anyone can pull more energy from you than you can replace in fact, the energy flowing out of you creates a current that pulls energy into you at the same rate. You can never run out, but you must stay conscious of this process in order for it to work. This is especially important when you interact with people. Let you perception of beauty and irredescence lead your way. Places and people who have answers for you will appear more attractive and luminous.

implacable challengers

For many years it looked as if I had gone through life like a corpse empowered to walk and talk, but not to feel anything/ Having no concentration whatsoever to pursue any subject beyond a shallow attempt. The impression I had that nothing had been significant whatsoever. I had been reared just to act without ever stopping to feel anything. My parents brought me into this world to be food, like themselves and everyone else, and that's the end of the story.



Nobody ever asked me to if I would consent to be eaten by beings of a different kind of awareness. They are our implacable challengers and also the means by which the universe tests us. Give compassion to them, it is not their fault.

dream of an animal

Man must have been a complete being at one point, with stupendous insights and feats of awareness that are mythological legends nowadays. ...man, the magical being that he is destined to be, is no longer magical. He is an average piece of meat. There are no more dreams for man but a dream of an animal who is being raised in captivity to become trite, conventional, imbecilic.
All of that seems to have made us sedated, obidient, meak and weak. We have given our power away and were instead encouraged to be coveteous, greedy and coward. We must give up our complacency, routine and egomanic behaviour. It can be done.

Discipline is the only deterrent for humanity and the real battle is truely within: arrange for this internal fight and start with silencing the mind, that's all it takes.

Start living again after a lifetime of domination that has rendered us shy, insecure and shifty. It is an Art: the art of facing all the odds without flinching - become filled with awe, as we are the means by which the universe becomes aware of itself.

On individuation

There is nothing more attractive and convincing then spontaneity.

...we know of individuals who are spontaneous, whose thinking, feeling and acting were the expression of their selves and not of an automaton. These individuals are mostly known to us as artists. As a matter of fact, the artist-like the child- can be defined as an individual who can express herself spontaneously. The position of the artist is vulnerable though, for it is really only the successful artist whose individuality or spontaneity is respected; if she doesn't succeed in selling her art, she remans to her contemporaries a crank, a "neurotic". The artist in this matter is in a similar positition to that of the revolutionary .
