What is the Divine Feminine?
Every woman and man carry masculine and feminine qualities within. One is not better than the other and both expressions are needed in order to maintain balance. This is not about gender. The "Divine" aspects of both of these energies are the manifestation of the purest, fullest, most gifted form of masculine and feminine expression.
Some of the Masculine qualities are:
Outward-directed
Focused
Warrior/protector
Left-brained
Stability
Strength
Logic and reasoning
Problem solving
Giving
Doing.
Some of the Feminine qualities are:
Inward-directed
Nurturing
Intuitive
Right-brained
Sensual
Flexible
Healing
Wisdom
Emotion
Receiving
Being
Through thousands of years of conditioning, many of the feminine energies have been downplayed, undervalued and even ridiculed. Now, more than ever, the Divine Feminine energies need to come into their fullness of expression to bring real balance and harmony into our world. How can you connect more fully with your Divine Feminine nature? Here are a few ways:
1. Meditate. There are many forms of meditation, so for those who have trouble sitting still, there is yoga as well as movement/dance meditation. Opening to receive what wants to come through for you is a great way to make a connection to the Feminine energies. Meditation takes practice---not to become a better meditator, but to become a better person.
2. Get Creative. Write, draw, play music, sing, dance, audition for a play, paint a picture---whatever tickles your fancy and gets your juices moving. Take a class in something that you are curious about. The Arts can connect you to your authentic self.
3. Nature is Calling. Get out into nature, even if it's only in your backyard. Start noticing what's around you. Pay attention to the cries of birds, and be open to meeting neighborhood cats and dogs. Breathe in the air after a rain shower or catch snowflakes on your tongue. Thank the earth for giving life to you and the plants and trees and animals. Notice what you notice.
4. Put your phone/device down! For as many hours as possible...for days, if you can. Read a book. Yes, they still make them and not just on your Kindle. Practice patience and listening---really listening to others. Join a women's circle and open up to new relationships and support.
