Unfold Your Petals

By Evangeline Cain

The book Unfold Your Petals is about the embodied woman opening her petals like a rose. Its about strife and looking to the goddesses of ancient times to carry us to where we need to go, as goddess Yemeya travels beside us on our journey. Its about being sheltered by the arms of goddesses who truly want to see you succeed. The more we open up as embodied women, the more we dream, love, live, grow, and unfold like Aphrodite, the beautiful rose. Each of our petals represent the accomplishments that have nurtured our wounds, and what we cant nurture, the goddesses carry us through.

INTRODUCTION TO THE GODDESS

The structure of this book is to bring forth the idealism of a goddess and what she represents. To understand the way she moves and sways to life’s events. Her tempo is to understand her in her vulnerability, softness, fortitude, and rage. My last book focused on women understanding their strength and was full of devotions to follow that lead to your strength. This book focuses more on lasting love unto the universe as we ease in to understand the ups and downs.

Today I ease in to say if you want a man to connect with you emotionally and not just lust after your juicy little body, you must create a space that invites him in to come closer to you. You must open the doorway that leads you to trust in yourself, enough to know that you can be who you truly are with him without hiding. You see, the goddesses did show their light by showing their God who they really were, not just a part but the real them. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, knew she didn’t need to be the most beautiful woman on the planet. Not that she wasn’t, but she knew all she had to do was be herself and claim her power from within.

So who is this goddess?

She is radiant

She’s fun

She is sweet and juicy

She is special

She is you

Full of bounce

She has pep in her step

Yes, this is you, but what you hear inside yourself is this: I’m not skinny enough. He will never love me. I have stretch marks. It’s that little voice that stops you from experiencing love on a deeper level—not your looks or your stretch marks. It’s you standing in your own way because you’ve already told yourself: I am not worthy of his love.

Aphrodite displayed so much compassion, love, empathy, sexuality, soul connection, and understanding for herself and others that every person on the planet loved her and showed her great respect.

When Aphrodite’s relationship wasn’t going well, or if she was feeling insecure, she would tell him, I feel insecure right now. I feel like you don’t love me. I feel like I’m in this relationship alone, and I feel disregarded. She would express herself by saying, I don’t know what to do right now. I feel like yelling and screaming and running away from you right now. She would express, I feel like crying and then cry. I was the type of goddess who never let a man know if something hurt me.

I held in my tears because I thought I was superwoman. I thought he would think I was a crybaby. But in all honesty, that was what he craved—and because I held back my feelings, it demonstrated to him it was okay for him to do the same. I noticed, once I did finally open up, that all sorts of magical things began to happen. I noticed he started stretching his arms out for me. He stepped up and started helping me with things, not because I was helpless but because he genuinely cared about me, and I no longer felt alone and unloved. It was the first time I felt like we were in the relationship together.

Once I showed him who I really was, I noticed myself doing things around him I never thought I would do. He was able to see that I was not heartless, but that I was afraid to create an emotional space. Once I did, he wiped the tears good-bye from my eyes.

I remember I would never express how I felt, unless I did so in a text. I was so afraid to ask a question because I feared what the answer might be. I always wanted to express hurt, but I was afraid for him to hear the truth. On top of that, I did not know how to express my thoughts. When I wanted him, I told him I hated him because I was angry rather than expressing that I needed him in that moment. Every time I expressed my feelings, it never reached him on a level that he could comply. Instead, it made him outraged and wanting to
