Got a problem that’s been driving you nuts? Feel like you can’t find a solution? Great! Take it to the council of goddesses and learn how they’d handle it.

1. Set up an appointment
Decide ahead of time when you’ll hold your goddess conference. Get together what you’ll need: a pen and paper, a candle, some relaxing music. Choose a time when you know you won’t be disturbed and pencil it in on your calendar. My favorite times are at night about an hour before I’ll go to sleep and first thing in the morning after I’ve had a shower and gotten dressed.

2. Invite your fave Goddesses
Choose five of your favorite goddesses to invite. Each goddess who comes will bring a different set of attributes so think about what qualities could be helpful. You could ask Kuan Yin to bring her compassion and spiritual understanding to the situation. Freya to help you see the bigger picture, Aphrodite to bring her love and wisdom, Scathach to bring her determination and focus and Mary to bring her psychic skills to help you divine the future. Send a mental message to each goddess telling her what time the meeting will be held.

3. Present your problem to the board
At the allotted time put the music on and light the candle. Close your eyes and mentally call each goddess to you. Imagine each goddess arriving and taking her place in a circle around you. In your imagination tell the goddesses what’s been bugging you. Pour your heart out to them.

4. Get guidance from the goddesses
Go around the circle and ask each goddess for her take on the situation and how she would handle it. Ask what skills and resources you need to develop to handle the problem.

5. Brainstorm ideas and input
Write down what you imagine each goddess suggests. Ask the goddesses how you could reach the best possible outcome and write down as many ideas as you imagine them saying. Write continuously without editing for seven minutes. Don’t worry if it feels like you are making it up. Just keep writing. You could write in question and answer format too asking the goddesses questions and then writing their imagined answers.

6. Come up with an action plan
Ask the goddesses to help you create an action plan based on the best possible outcome. Don’t worry about how you are going to do what they suggest just write as many steps as necessary.

7. Write three steps you will take this week
Commit to three small steps you can tackle this week. Ask the goddesses to help you. See your future self in your imagination as already having achieved a great solution. Get energy from your future self to help you during the week, too. Don’t forget to thank the goddesses and blow out the candle. Each night continue to see the goddesses helping you.
