Hello Goddess. I'm Lyndal Edwards. Since 2021, I've been living a deliberately un-rushed life on the far south coast of New South Wales surrounded by sacred mountains, spotted gum forests, divinely quiet beaches and an abundance of gorgeous cows.

This isn't my first time living in paradise. I've also lived in Byron Bay and the Blue Mountains. What these places all have in common is undeniable natural beauty, full of divine Goddess energy.

All of these places have called to my Goddess Self and beckoned me to play, to dance, to ritualise my life. I have heard the call and often struggled to nurture and nourish my Goddess Self. Why? Because, just like you, I'm a woman living in a modern (24/7) world with both responsibilities and earthly, ancient desires. (You may find the following familiar):

• Work overwhelm - I've often felt pushed into 'working hard' and forgotten the most important work we do is with both heart and mind.​
• Perfectionist - I'm a recovering Virgo control-freak (finally) awakening to the absolute perfection of imperfection and authenticity.
• Chased elusive 'balance' - I've spent most of my adult life over-doing things (and burning out), only to relearn Yin living requires Being in the doing.
• Grace & Ease - I've spent decades struggling with other people for the space, peace and quiet I need...realising only I can ever give these to myself, with grace.
•  Goddess embrace - I've had a long-distance on-off relationship with my Goddess, until realising it's time I let the Feminine lead the way. 

The Goddess in me sees the Goddess in you.
Perhaps we'll connect soon - in person or online - our clear eyes, soft hearts and open minds welcoming and holding space for the Goddess in each other. 

I want to share with you the true and powerful story about the Goddess and the Gardener. Although it's my story, my experience, the essence of its truth and power may resonate with you too.

You could be forgiven for thinking the photos in the blocks below are of two different women; they represent two distinct aspects of myself. The Gardener (the 1st block) is the organiser, the doer. She plots and plants, takes action, uses her busy, productive mind to grow great things in my life. But, when left alone to run my life, she over-does things, over-plans, strives and over-reaches for results, and burns herself out.

---

The Gardener in me - and maybe in you - is the achiever, the go-for-it hard worker, the multi-tasker, the solution finder. She has her place, has her strengths and has built and created many great things for me, my family and in my working life. Although I am grateful for her strength and power, letting her lead my life often comes at a cost. I can get cranky, irritated and out of balance.

I can become resentful and disconnected from my inner self, my inner voice, my intuition and those I love. I can lose sight of what really matters because my sights are set on the horizon of results and outcomes rather than the here and now. 

Here and now is where my Goddess self lives. She is calm and wise and lets things sit in her body and being before making big decisions. She feels her way through life and waits for the right moment to make her move. She is patient, in tune with nature and its rhythms, and understands most things have their own 'ripe timing,' She is my intuition, my deepest truth, my joy and my reminder to say YES to life's precious moments IN THE MOMENT. 

When I feel the Goddess awaken in me - after meditation, nature time or when feeling open-hearted - I sometimes photograph myself as a reminder the Goddess within has surfaced, shown herself. ​

My Goddess Self often slows me down with illness or injury and reminds me to soften, be gentler on myself and others, open me to receiving love, abundance and all life has to offer. She brings me to tears of joy and brings me to my knees with deep gratitude for the simple, powerful truths she reveals in the deeper soil of my life, below its busy surface. 

​Once upon a time I lived almost all of my life as a busy Gardener, doing and planning and striving to grow myself, my work, my life. I'd only 'retreat' to my Goddess self when I was desperate for time-out, for me-time, for silence away from this busy life I was creating. Over time, I began to integrate more of my Goddess self into everyday life. I started to trust her voice, her wisdom, her intuition. I let her into more moments, more parts of my life. She began to feel her way into every facet of my life. Once a friend I used to visit, she became someone I embraced, then finally embodied. 

Does my story resonate for you? 
Do you feel the call of your Goddess Self?
Want to explore, embrace and embody her gifts, her power, her wisdom?

She's waiting for you...let's begin.
