But remember that we are all able to develop and grow despite our past - so while we may never become 'naturally' able to move or adopt postures, we can develop towards this ideal.
I think this is important because we all have aspects of ourselves that were formed from early life experiences - some of us are transformed by these experiences, others are not, and all of us are capable of change.
With regard to 'the goddess' I do think it's something that appeals to the mystical and the mysterious and 'special', and this is often about fulfilling a need to feel special and OK, and this often springs from childhood needs to belong...
