Activating Your Divine Feminine Energy
Do you ever just come across someone who just exudes radiance and sensuality? You can’t quite understand what it is, but you somehow feel enthralled by their presence. Like they are magnetic, hypnotic, majestic.
Comfortable in their own presence. Confident in their own skin.
This is Divine feminine energy and it is one of the most powerful forms of energy that has shifted my life and world outlook for the better. I went from a timid shy girl who was bullied and scared of the world, with so much internal anger and insecurity, to a now confident woman and I love my body, my sensuality, and I have never felt more empowered, powerful, and free.
Today I am going to be talking about divine feminine energy and how to cultivate it. I will be explaining what Divine Feminine Energy is and, in my opinion, how it is a crucial component to live a fulfilled life. I will also be providing practical methods that you can employ on a daily basis to nourish and build your own divine feminine energy to access your innate intuition, healing powers, and magnetism!
So….what is feminine energy and why do we need to activate it?
Despite what most people think, Divine Feminine Energy is not “acting ladylike” and it’s not exclusive to women.
Divine feminine and the Divine Masculine are two sacred energies that go hand and hand with one another and they are not limited to a specific gender identity or sex. Every single person has both of these energies present within them and Every single person is welcome to activate their own divine feminine energy.
However, we can’t talk about Divine Feminine without talking about Divine Masculine, as one cannot exist without the other.
Divine Masculine energy is aggressive, extroverted, go-getter, and dominant energy. It’s the hours of toiling at your job. It’s the drive and force behind getting projects done. It’s the mentality that tells us we need to keep working and going after what we want. While Feminine energy is introspective, soft, nurturing, healing, and sensual. You’ll find feminine energy in the creation of art, in your dream space, in your intuition, in your connection to the divine. It’s also present in the world’s literal mother, Mother Nature. Feminine energy is a creative life force.
Divine Feminine is your emotional landscape and it comes from the soul, while Divine masculine is outward. However, let me be clear, Feminine energy can be delicate but it is not always delicate. It’s attached to our emotions which we express as happiness, rage, sadness, content, excitement. You get the idea. Feminine energy can be CHAOTIC but that’s one reason why it is so powerful.
The Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine are both essential energies that naturally occur within all species, however, when one is too active, it can leave you feeling unbalanced and out of whack. Both energies serve to complement each other and there should be an appropriate flow of both energies present in our lives. This flow may differentiate depending on our circumstances, mood, and/or the task at hand. For example, you may access more masculine energy while in the workplace, but more feminine energy while at home and resting.
A perfect example of too much Divine Masculine is hustle culture, which sends the message that we have to always hustle, be overly productive, and sacrifice sleep and self-nourishment for the sake of pursuing money or our career. The Divine Feminine is the rest, self-reflection, and sleep that you NEED in order to recoup from the Divine Masculine’s hyper-productivity.
Here are some qualities of the Divine Feminine
1. Being patient
2. Being Restful
3. Heart-Centered
4. Soothing
5. Sensual
6. Intuitive
7. Healing
8. Creative
9. Emotional
10. Wild
It is that innate intuition that we all have. It is our innate sensuality. Our innate beauty. It is our self-nurturing. It is our aura and our sacred internal energy. And because it is internal, it is what makes us magnetic and seductive. People want to know more about it because they only get hints of it. It’s elusive.
Now let’s talk about how you can activate and engage your divine femininity through these steps.
HOW TO ACTIVATE Divine Feminine Energy
1. COMMIT TO SELF-LOVE & SELF-ACCEPTANCE
Part of being divinely feminine is being able to offer love and compassion to yourself and those around you. But please remember, you cannot pour from an empty cup. In order to fully embrace a compassionate and loving mindset, you must first offer love and compassion to yourself.
The self-love journey coincides with the Divine Feminine journey. And If you grew up in a household where you did not feel loved or supported, this is even more integral. This is one of the main things I needed to learn during my own Divine Feminine Journey. It takes work but when you start to feel the results, my god is it magnificent.
Some self-love practices I do, are things like mirror magick, where I will look into the mirror every day for about 10-20 mins a day and speak words of affirmations to myself. And I am very careful with how I speak to myself. I speak to myself as a mother should speak to her child. With love, compassion, and emotion behind my words.
Another great way to do this is through morning affirmations and expressing gratitude towards yourself.
2. FULLY FEEL AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR EMOTIONS
Allow yourself to fully feel your emotions and let them out. In my opinion, you can’t suppress emotions. Like literally, its impossible. They will express no matter what. Think about the element of water and how it’s connected to our emotions. You cannot contain fluids, they will leak out. And if you do manage to contain them, mold and mildew can grow. Just like when you hold emotions in, they fester and express through self-sabotage. It’s better to have a good crying fit than to have an angry punching-the-wall fit.
Society doesn’t really create space for vulnerability, especially in regards to masculine-presenting people. But vulnerability is powerful and the Divine Feminine is all about being vulnerable and fearless in the face of vulnerability. Tap into your emotions and take some time to reflect on how you feel and how you would like to move forward. Write down your experiences.
I cry every day. Whether from happiness, sadness, anger, resentment. I have a good cry and I sit with my emotions and allow myself to feel them and process them. That is the only way you can move forward from them and channel them into amazing things like art, ideas, and inspiration.
Crying is exfoliation for the soul. Let it out. Get comfortable with your emotions.
3. HONOR YOUR INNER VOICE
Divine Feminine is tied to Divine introspection and intuition. To tap into your Divine Feminine, you need to look within yourself and nurture your intuition and inner thoughts, this includes valuing your inner thoughts and voice as worthy of being heard and listened to.
One thing I like to do is speak affirmations aloud. I also value talking to myself, even if It sounds crazy in retrospect, it’s not. It’s giving your voice space. Your voice is worthy of being heard, being listened to. A beginner step for this is to journal your thoughts and express your voice through writing.
You can also express your voice through your style, makeup, your art. Self-expression through adornments on you and within your space will also give your voice a platform to be heard. Self-expression is a great way to make your voice heard.
4. TREAT YOUR BODY LIKE A TEMPLE
Divine Femininity is directly connected to the energy of nurture and nourishment. It is nourishment for our mind, body, and spirit. This means we have to respect our bodies. Not in this “patriarchal sex-shaming way” (by all means, have fun!) but in the way that you nourish and protect it from harmful substances like alcohol, drugs, and unhealthy habits.
We are all human and if you enjoy a glass of wine now and then, that’s totally fine, but make sure you aren’t neglecting things like your daily water intake or eating vitamin-rich foods. Also, if you’re able, it’s important to move your body! Yoga, dance, exercise! And you don’t need a weight goal or training goal to get movement in.
The whole point is building a healthy relationship with your body from a place of love, not discipline. That means feeding it the best foods, treating it like royalty by keeping your hygiene up, and taking the time to pamper your skin!
One thing I like to do is also admire my body. I also express gratitude to my body. Thank you legs for providing me with the ability to walk. Thank you arms for providing me with the ability to carry things. Self-love in any capacity begins with gratitude to one’s self.
5. CONNECT WITH NATURE
Mother nature, the great mother, is innately tied to the Divine Feminine Energy. Nature is the center of creation, which is optimal Divine Feminine at its core. Nature can serve as a direct portal to unleashing your own energy through her frequencies and vibrations.
Spend time on a hike or at the beach. If you are in a city, like me, bring some plants into your home and practice the art of nurture and nourishment with them to harness creativity and healing powers. You can also work with Crystals which harness mother natures power as well.
6. BUILD UP AND CONNECT WITH YOUR INTUITION
Intuition, in my opinion, is the biggest part of the Divine Feminine. It is the core, the essence, of how we approach life. It’s that gut feeling when you pick up someone’s energy. It’s what connects us to the divine and our higher self because that’s the pathway the divine is able to communicate with us. This is also true for our inner soul and highest self.
I like to build my intuition through divination, connecting with the cards or a crystal ball (scrying), and deciphering messages through my intuition. A good chakra balance or meditation targeted towards your third eye and crown chakra can also kickstart your intuition building.
