A Female playing games is not a Radiant Woman

What makes us women radiant?
Is it our dresses, jewellery and hair? No. Dig deeper!

Have you noticed how the females around you can change when they don't get their way? They can go from seeming open-hearted and inclusive to bitter, exclusive and even bitchy in a short period of time.

I've been observing people around me for years. This kind of "made up", image-focused, insecure feminine resorts to game playing, manipulation and at whatever cost, preservation of self-ego and their illusion. 

Unfortunately, defensive behaviour in females seems almost an automatic response these days. I'm sure all of us females have at one point or another been the receiver of "backstabbing" or unwarranted verbal or emotional abuse from someone we considered to be our friend.

Granted, the feminine essence is about flow, movement, change and communication. However, anyone can see (and feel) the difference between someone communicating with an open heart and someone trying to take position with verbal or emotional abuse.

This kind of abuse has not happened in my life for years now, mainly because I became fiercely selective of the people I spent time with. Or, alternatively, I have accepted it as a part of someone's MO, and as such I have set very clear boundaries about it, and how much I tolerate it from them. This is not to say, however, that females haven't tried it on more recently.

I relocated to a new country recently, and naturally, I encountered a series of new people in this process. Some of them male, some of them female. What was interesting, though, was that the males all responded pretty much the same way: welcoming, inclusive and warm; appreciating the reasons for my move and how big a deal it was for me to leave my life behind tens of thousands of kms away.

As for the females, received a  repertoire of mixed responses. Some of them quickly became my soul sisters, some of them very real, helpful and caring. Some of them were overly sweet at first, and when that didn't work, they tried to assert their dominance and "put me in my place" with belittling comments and snide remarks. And some of them; well, how can I say this; outright refused to see the new reality, in which I was, indirectly, a part of their lives.

My "bitch-antennae" always arise when someone is overly enthusiastic to meet me and when they're not in the top of my list of priorities, they become defensive, offensive and frankly, very unappealing. Or when doing a deed in the benefit of a person who pretends that I don't exist, they then proceed to punish people around them for... well... it could be anything, really, but mostly something that does not fit their illusion about how things are....but of course, disguised as something entirely different.

Confused yet? I'm not surprised. It's all too much for me. Taking part in people's  illusions is way too complicated and time-consuming.

The difference between females playing these games and the women who are welcoming and radiant is massive. One group is motivated by fear, and the other is inspired by shared caring, kindness and communication.

Being a radiant woman does not mean that you won't have issues come up, and that you don't get emotional from time to time. It does mean, however, that you take responsibility of your feelings and how you let them affect the people around you. 

Sure, we can't always "contain" ourselves, and to expect that would most likely result in a bitter disappointment. However, the epidemic of  broken feminine power games being a default setting in our interaction with others is very much beginning to lose it's grip with more and more women becoming empowered within, and accepting themselves for who they are.

Self-acceptance, asking for what is right for her and learning to embrace both masculine and feminine energies within, a woman can become strong, inclusive, kind and open-hearted. 
A woman's radiance shines from her open heart. Shared kindness rising from within is what makes a woman radiant, not her external façade of make up, clothes and jewellery.

The trustable men and other kind-hearted women cannot help but respond to this radiance, and deep, and possibly long-standing personal and professional connections can be created.

Imagine: no more bitching and back-stabbing. No more petty power games and manipulation.

Can you feel the freedom in becoming a Radiant Woman?
