Elevate Women Books

SYNOPSIS

Aisha-Sky Gates has written a new ebook called Honoring the True Self: a journey to discover a woman’s core needs.  It originated as a companion text for her Personal Life Leadership program.  The book is based primarily on the teachings of The Pathwork of Self-transformation by Eva Pierrakos and Buddhist philosophy.  It defines core needs as specific activities that restore a woman to her innate state of joy and spiritual alignment.  Satisfying these deep desires allows women to live sovereign, radiant lives.  Honoring the True Self includes the core needs quiz and is a lighthearted fable of sacred sisterhood.  You can download both epub (Kobo, Kindle, ereaders) and pdf (all laptops) formats.

TESTIMONIALS

“Wonderful book, Aisha. Finished it last night, still with me, will return to it. This morning I noticed, took time to lean into what sparks joy for me.”–a sister-writer

“If you’re feeling called to live with more intention, clarity, and reverence for your own inner life, I wholeheartedly encourage you to explore Aisha’s upcoming webinars.

INTRODUCTION

This is not another program telling you who to be or what to believe.   This is an invitation to discover who you already are and then to have the audacity to honor that.  That is, you honor yourself through pleasure and through daily practice.  Certainly, you do it through the revolutionary act of listening to your own soul.

Women want to feel good, to feel alive, to feel like themselves.  And they don’t want to have to pay dearly for it.  They don’t want to have to give up more than they already have.

Women are exhausted from:

• Being told they need to heal everything
• Being told their desires are problematic
• Being told that they need to “do the work” to deserve happiness
• Being told spirituality requires sacrifice or that transcendence only comes from meditating in a cave removed from the world.

There is another way to feel better, to feel renewed, to feel like yourself again.  Come with me and learn:

• Your desires are the map.   
• Happiness is not something to earn.  It’s something to align with.   
• That alignment happens through honoring what already makes you feel alive.
• You have a right to your own personal happiness.

This book is a guide to discovering your core needs, which will deliver you into your own personal bliss.  From there you will feel better, be able to think better, elevate your decision making, and give and receive love better.

Yes, for sure, I wrote this book because I see a problem and I am proposing how we, women, can turn it around.  You are Divine and as such you do not have to prove anything to anyone to be deserving of Love.  You were born pure and bright and beautiful.  No price to pay to be able to receive Love.  Undoubtedly, somebody told you differently.  Most likely, you have been laboring under the yoke of unkindness and a lack of compassion plus an identity rooted in self-sacrifice: 

“I have to work crazy hard to be judged as worth something at all.” 

“I have to put the needs of others before my own.  It’s only right.” 

“I feel guilty whenever I allow myself to think of meeting my own needs.” 

“Attempting to set boundaries with people is nearly impossible.  I hate conflict or potentially making other people uncomfortable.”

You are Divine.  It’s got nuthin’ to do with religious dogma or a particular belief system.  Having followed my own philosophizing, I’ve learned to include myself in the basket of those who are worthy to receive love and attention.  I sit in that basket alongside everyone that I serve.  This book was an act of service.  It wasn’t a sacrifice.  It was a joy to write.

Seven years ago, I created Personal Life Leadership©, a female empowerment/spiritual path program for women.  I guide women inward toward their core where they can tap into inner wisdom, learn to trust intuition, and re-discover True Self.  True Self is You minus the layers and layers of cultural influences that told you who you had to be.  True Self/Real You is still there, intact, inside of you.  When you begin to feel Her again you are on your own spiritual path of discovery for being the real You, lovingly focused on your purpose for this lifetime. 

The heart of Personal Life Leadership© is the discovery of core needs.  Core Needs.  Every woman has core needs.  These are activities or amazing conditions that bring you back to yourself.  Satisfying core needs is always going to be magical and fun.  When you do your Thing you feel amazing.  You feel great.  Pleasure.  Pleasure.  Pleasure for you.  This is way beyond just doing something that is relaxing.  Your core need(s) will raise your vibration into being True Self.  Yes, all of that.  Only you can say what those are for you. ***
