When Was the Last Time You Truly Felt Powerful?

When was the last time you felt powerful, truly powerful? Not just the feeling of confidence you get from a new outfit or a successful work presentation, but real, raw, unapologetic power? 

For many women, this feeling is so unfamiliar, it seems virtually unattainable. 

This is where Mel Gutierrez, one of Gaia’s beloved Goddess practitioners, begins her transformative work and shows you how to unleash the power within. 

In Mel’s Embody Your Personal Power Workshop, she helped participants tap into their innate power by connecting with their physical body, mind, emotions, and spirit. As Mel says, “We all possess inherent power—my role is simply to help people access it.” 

What Is Embodiment Work and Why Does It Matter for Women?

Embodiment Work is the practice of integrating your physical body with your mind, emotions, and spirit. It goes beyond exercise or meditation, helping you attune to your body’s wisdom, process emotions, and move with conscious awareness. 

Unlike confidence-building programs that focus on behaviors or positive thinking, Embodiment Work creates change from the inside out. It works with your body’s innate wisdom and nervous system, making the transformation more authentic and lasting.

What You’ll Learn From Mel’s Embodiment Work

How to tap into your internal power source

Many women seek power from things outside of themselves. Mel shows you that your true power already exists within you, waiting to be recognized.

Techniques to overcome fear and self-doubt

True power comes from standing up for yourself, releasing the need for approval, and trusting your own voice and intuition. 

Ways to use your body to enhance your power  

Reconnect with your body through sensuality, movement, and grounding. “Physical pleasure is a fantastic indicator of how well you’re owning your power.” 

To channel your Inner Predator 

Power isn’t always aggressive, but it is decisive. Learn ways to channel predator energy, like a lion that acts when necessary without the need for validation. 

Simple, Daily Steps to Reclaim Your Power

• Tune into your body: Take a moment to check in: where do you feel strong? Where do you feel blocked?  

• Stand tall: Good posture isn’t just for looks. Studies indicate that upright postures can induce positive moods.

✨ Watch Mel’s quick video on how to stand tall with confidence and feel the shift from the inside out.

• Speak up: Start small: say “no” when you mean it, “yes” when you feel it. Over time, your voice will grow stronger. 

• Embrace pleasure: Take time to stretch, savor your food, and dance. Do whatever you feel connects you to joy in your body.

• Channel Your Inner Animal: Pick three animals that inspire you, maybe a lion for courage, an eagle for vision, or a leopard for agility or grace. Visualize them living in your body and influencing your way of being. 

• Find your people: Surround yourself with those who uplift you. Set boundaries with those who don’t.
