Within each person, there is an infinite power of consciousness. It is a power of happiness, truth, and love.
Women in this context are uniquely skilled and capable. They can bring this power from within to those we love. It is not superficial. It is a power that can move oceans and change destinies.
When we think then of women’s rights and power, or lack thereof, throughout recent history, we miss one simple truth: that we are all already more powerful, more Divine, and more ready to transform the world than we have ever given ourselves credit for.
To date, many wise, brave, determined women, such as Queen Nefertiti, have done incredible work over decades and centuries to ensure our essential voices are heard. And there is so much more to do on every level as the momentum is building.
But there is an element not yet considered. Beyond the sometimes-gradual outward shifts, we can transform the world into the world we desire from within. This is the power of consciousness. It is our time to transform the world, not through force or complaining about a system as it was, but by first bringing a new paradigm within ourselves.
Dr Alison Plaut, in “Be More: 18 practical steps for more peace, success, and happiness in YOUR life…beginning today!” describes the divine nature within every woman as a source of love, strength, and compassion—an inner power that brings harmony and healing.
In various spiritual traditions, including the Vedic tradition, this essence is personified as Shakti. Shakti is the goddess of strength, protection, and creativity. Just as Mother Earth provides sustenance and shelter for all life, Shakti and women, in essence, have a natural ability to nourish those around them.
Plaut argues that understanding and embracing this divine aspect of femininity is essential for individual women and society as a whole. Just as a woman holds the balance of this world by becoming a mother and a protector for her child—honoring women’s unique qualities allows them to contribute fully to their families, communities, and the world, creating environments where love and respect thrive.
Dr. Plaut also acknowledges the efforts made toward achieving gender equality. She invites us to see beyond societal labels and roles and explains that women’s power is not simply about equality with men. Instead, it is about recognizing and valuing the qualities that make women unique and special. This divine power lies in the ability to create, unify, and heal, qualities that are often overlooked in modern discussions of empowerment.
For Plaut, true empowerment goes beyond conventional definitions. When each woman embraces her unique capabilities and knows that her contributions, whether at home, in the workplace, or in the community, are invaluable, she is in a better position to honor her inner strengths and can transform not only their lives but also the lives of those around them.
Plaut also delves into the concept of masculine and feminine energies. The masculine principle is analytical and decisive, while the feminine principle is nurturing and inclusive. Balancing these energies is crucial for us to keep harmony and growth. For Plaut, every individual, regardless of gender, benefits from honoring both these aspects, but she emphasizes that society especially benefits when women’s natural nurturing power is fully expressed, respected, and supported. .
In her view, a world that appreciates and cultivates feminine qualities alongside masculine ones will be more good. Be it by creating healthier relationships, more compassionate communities, or a more peaceful society—where both women and men can live in harmony, secure, and loved— this nurturing energy plays a vital role in guiding society toward a balanced and harmonious state.
Plaut highlights the role of women as protectors of life. Drawing from ancient cultural traditions that celebrate the sacred feminine, including Vedic, Mayan, and Egyptian cultures, she demonstrates the power of women as central to the well-being of the family and community. Plaut believes that reclaiming this sacred role enables women to bring about positive change in the world without force, simply by embodying their authentic selves.
In short, in a world where many traditions, localities, cultures, and minorities frequently criticize women and their roles, Dr Alison Plaut’s “Be More” celebrates women’s divine nature while encouraging them to embrace their unique inner power.
This power, rooted in love, compassion, empathy, and resilience, is transformative for women and everyone they touch. By honoring and cultivating this divine quality, women can lead society toward greater harmony and fulfillment, creating a world where the feminine principle is valued and cherished as essential to all aspects of life.
