What is the Sacred Feminine?
To live our true potential as woman, we first need to understand what it means to embody the Sacred Feminine.
The Sacred Feminine in essence is the ‘being’ aspect of our true nature compared with the ‘doing’ aspect of our Sacred Masculine nature. The Feminine is the embodiment of gentleness, of nurturing, mothering and compassion. She is earthy, a grounded presence, receptive, creative, and highly intuitive. She is also a wild sensual and sexual being. She flows with the cycles and rhythms of the Earth and the Moon that governs our tidal flows.
She is calm and loving and can also be fierce and wild as is her chaotic and changeable nature. She is the flow of the river whilst the Masculine is the banks of the river, that contains and provides the direction of the river’s path.
The Feminine is part of who we are, whether man or woman, she exists within us all, encoded within our DNA. Our beloved planet, Mother Earth, is the embodiment of the Sacred Feminine –being in deep connection with our Mother Earth and living by her natural ways, is to take the journey to becoming a fully embodied woman and living our true potential.
For a very long time there has been an imbalance in the world, too much focus on the ‘doing’ aspect, of pushing through to achieve, of materialism, of the need for scientific proof, rather than honouring and respecting our emotional needs and intuitive gut feelings. We see this as the damage and drain on our natural resources and our planet. All of this at the detrimental expense of the Feminine.
There is a revolution taking place, to unravel and remember our true nature. To throw the rule book out and rewrite our story of what it means to be a whole woman.
Living our true potential as Woman
To live our true potential as Woman we need to embrace who we truly are, our true Sacred Feminine nature in balance with our Sacred Masculine nature.
What does this mean?
To remember that we are the embodiment of the Feminine who is wise and all knowing, When we listen to our inner urges, our emotions, our feelings, we are listening to the loving presence of our Feminine, rather than just our head or ego.
Embodying the Sacred Feminine requires a radical trust in oneself. It is time to unravel the conditioning laid down by the patriarchal society and generational beliefs passed down that have kept women in denial of her true value and worth.
We are on a journey back into body and heart to listen deeply to our inner yearnings. We need space to be, to remember to live in flow with the natural rhythms of Earth and Moon, to be receptive to magical synchronicity, to respect our heart and body’s wishes setting clear boundaries that honours and nourishes our mind, body and soul.
To feel connected to our inner authority, to trust in our intuition and our own timing, knowing when our inner She is saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and acting from this place of authentic power.
Letting go of the need to please, letting go of judgement, of shame, of being too much or not good enough, allowing the true essence of our Feminine to be fully expressed are going to be the keys that unlock our full potential as Woman.
Allowing our creative energies to flow unhindered by doubt and lack of worth. Allowing our primal life force and sexual energies and power to rise so that we can live a vibrant, joyful, healthy and fulfilling life.
It is time to rewrite our story of what it means to be a woman.
5 Keys for Embracing your Sacred Feminine
1.Honour your true feelings:
Be completely honest with yourself about what is acceptable and unacceptable in your life. Write it down. Remember you have choice. Let go of relationships, jobs, belief patterns that no longer serve who you are now becoming.
This will free you up, giving you space for exciting new opportunities to enter your life.
2.Listen and act on your Intuition:
Listen to your body. The Sacred Feminine wisdom communicates to you through your body wisdom, your intuition, your gut feelings, your heart and womb wisdom.
Take some deeper breaths and let go.
Take your breath down into your body, your belly, your pelvic bowl. Your pelvic bowl and womb are the seat of your creative and sexual power. Breathe here to energise and let go of stuck, stale energy.
Plant your roots down into the Earth to bring a grounded balanced presence in your life.
3.Being Receptive:
Follow the Moon phases. Notice how the New (Dark) Moon and Full Moon affect your energy levels and emotions. Become aware of your menstrual flow in relation to the Moon phases.
Notice when you feel more creative and energised and when you have need for more rest. Honour these changes by adjusting your schedule accordingly, so you can support your health and wellbeing.
Resting when your body needs allows spaciousness and nourishment for new ideas and opportunities to land.
4.Authentic Expression:
So often we swallow down our true feelings to make others feel better or more comfortable. In the process we deny our own true feelings causing resentment, stress and anxiety for ourselves and others.
Notice any patterns of appeasement and begin to address these with more positive self-talk, self-love and self-care practices. You are worthy of having your desires and needs met. This is the first step in creating clear boundaries on your energy and time.
5.Self-Nurturing Practices for Self-Love
Find ways to nourish and nurture your wellbeing. What fills you up with joy and pleasure? How can you create more space for this in your life?
Dancing and movement
Painting, sculpting with clay, sewing, crafting.
Walking in Nature, communing with Mother Earth
Gardening
Journalling
Voice practice and singing.
Together we are rising, to bring the world into unity balance. It starts with each one of us taking responsibility for living authentically.
Embrace your Sacred Feminine and allow her to guide you in fulfilling your true potential.
