14 Ways To Celebrate Self Love & Nurture Your Feminine Energy

1. Write A Love Letter To Yourself

Imagine all of the things you've wished someone else would tell you. What do you want to be complimented on? What aspect of yourself do you wish was seen and admired? What do you need to hear to feel seen, loved, and appreciated? Give this kindness and validation to yourself. Write yourself the love letter you wish someone else would write to you.

There is no need to wait for the approval or admiration of anyone else. No one else's opinion of you should matter more to you than your opinion of yourself. Your own self-love and admiration are just as valid as external love and admiration. You are worthy of your own love and admiration. Taking the time and consideration to write a love letter to yourself is deeply healing and will fill you up with the love and admiration that you deserve. You deserve to give yourself everything you need. Give yourself all of the love and admiration that you wish to receive.

2. Dance To Your Favorite Confidence Boosting Music

Giving space for your body to move you, instead of trying to move your body is one of the most sensual and liberating experiences. Our bodies hold so much pleasure and wisdom. In this modern world we give ourselves so few chances to truly experience the pleasures our bodies are ready to share with us. Dancing is one of the most pleasurable activities we can do to get out of our head and into our true selves. Dance expresses energy in a way that words never can. Dancing releases feel good hormones and boosts our mood. It helps us to feel free and to shake off the stress of our lives. Dancing is a space to celebrate our bodies and our ability to move. Movement is medicine. Dancing freely without choreography or the pressure to perform gives you a chance to just simply experience the pleasure of being alive in your body and moving to the rhythm.

Putting on music that makes you feel confident and dancing by yourself can make you feel so joyful, and free. Allowing your body to move in any way it wants to move will awaken your sensuality, build your connection with your body, and nurture your Feminine Energy. With every swirl of your hips your Feminine Energy will grow and make you feel so feminine, sexy, and alive.

Bonus points if you do it in the mirror. Extra, extra bonus points if you do it naked. ;)

3. Create A Sensual Ritual For Yourself

Our sensuality deeply connects us with our Feminine Energy. Feminine Energy thrives in the slow, flowing, sensual moments in life. Experiencing the sensual pleasures of our bodies is usually centered around sexual experiences. However, our bodies can offer us pleasure in so many ways that are not sexual. Sensuality and sexuality can be connected, and it is a deeply beautiful and pleasurable thing when they are. However, they are not inseparable. With fast paced and meaningless hook up culture, the sensual aspect of sexuality has been lost for many people. At the same time, many people have only been taught to enjoy the pleasure of sensuality through sexuality. Sexuality can be non-sensual. Sensuality can be non-sexual. Taking time to reconnect with our sensuality and to appreciate the pleasure of our entire bodies, not just our erogenous zones is deeply nurturing for Feminine Energy.

Creating a sensual ritual for yourself can be a deeply healing experience that will awaken your Feminine Energy and broaden your understanding of pleasure.

How To Create A Sensual Ritual Using The 5 Senses:

Create a private and pleasurable space using elements from each of the 5 categories below and simply relax and enjoy exploring each of the 5 senses. Try to bring as much pleasure to each of the 5 senses as possible. (try to make this as technology free as possible)

Smell - aromatherapy, candles, incense, scented body oil or lotion, perfume

Touch - movement, body oil, lotion, soft or silky fabrics, self-massage, gua sha, exploring skin sensations, water

4. Bake Yourself Something Sweet

Doing small gestures to add a little sweetness to your life can have a big impact on nurturing your self-love. Taking time to gift yourself with something sweet that you bake for yourself is a gesture of kindness and appreciation for yourself. Baking something yourself gives you an opportunity to spend time with yourself and to enjoy the process of making something heartfelt. This doesn't have to be anything elaborate or difficult. Make yourself whatever you consider to be a sweet treat that will make you feel good. This can be a chocolate cake, vegan cookies, gluten-free red velvet cupcakes, or even a fruit salad. Anything that you would enjoy creating and eating is perfect.

Put effort into making this a thoughtful and heartfelt gesture for yourself. Try to slow down and enjoy the process and create something you find beautiful.

5. Mirror Work

Looking yourself in the eyes and saying words of love and support to yourself is so powerful. It may seem woo-woo, but mirror work is a very practical and effective method to reprogram our subconscious mind. Mirror work allows you to view yourself as if you are outside of yourself and it can give you a new perspective on the relationship you have with yourself. Mirror work brings your internal dialogue out into the external world and gives you a tangible visual of the impact of the way you speak to yourself. Mirror work gives us an opportunity to confront ourselves face to face. Mirror work forces us to become more self-aware and to connect with ourselves more deeply. It provides us with a literal reflection of our inner relationship with ourselves.

Mirror work can be a powerful tool for connecting with yourself and building your self-love. Mirror work can help you to fall in love with the woman in the reflection.

Mirror Work Prompts:

• "(Your name), I am proud of you for ____."

• "(Your name), I forgive you for ____."

• "(Your name), I love you."

• Affirmations

• Compliment yourself and look for parts of your appearance to admire

• Ask yourself what you need and make a promise to yourself to meet your own needs

6. Connect With Your Sacral Chakra

The Sanskrit term for the sacral chakra is Svadhisthana. When literally translated, this word means “the dwelling place of the self”. The sacral chakra is the second chakra, and it is located near the womb space in the lower belly. This chakra is the home of our Yin/Feminine Energy. This chakra is associated with many of the characteristics of Feminine Energy. The sacral chakra is associated with emotions, pleasure, creativity, sensuality, abundance, and sexuality.

Having a healthy and balanced sacral chakra will help us to embrace more self-love, regulate our emotions, and connect with our Feminine Energy.

You Can Connect With Your Sacral Chakra Through Activities Like:

• Dancing

• Creating

• Sensual experiences

• Yoga

• Connecting with water

• Guided meditations focusing on the sacral chakra

• Hip opening fluid movements

• Chanting "Vam" or other mantras

7. Journal Affirmations

Affirmations rewire your brain and train your subconscious mind. Writing down affirmations and rereading them to yourself in your mind or aloud reprograms your mind to believe your affirmations and to look for evidence of their truth in your life. Writing positive affirmations about yourself trains your mind to think positively about yourself and shifts your internal monologue in a more loving and supportive direction.

Some Examples Of Affirmations For Self-Love & Feminine Energy Are:

• I love and accept myself completely

8. Take Yourself On A Solo Date

The most important relationship of your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Treat yourself the way you would want a lover to treat you. Make quality time to invest in nurturing the relationship you have with yourself. Take yourself on solo dates to reconnect with yourself and to create enjoyable experiences alone. It is important to make time to be alone so that you can nurture the relationship you have with yourself and build up your self-love.

Spending time with yourself alone and going on solo dates gives you an opportunity to do activities that help you feel connected to your Feminine Energy.

Solo Date Ideas:

• Take yourself to a nice restaurant

• Go on a nature walk

• Self-care day

• Cook yourself a meal

• Take a class

• Create art

• Explore a new place

• At home spa pampering

9. Create A Ritual To Celebrate Your Beauty

Admiring your own beauty will expand your self-love and Feminine Energy. Taking the time to slow down and ritualize your beauty routine creates space for you to admire your own femininity. There is an art to womanhood. The craft of seduction, the art of glamour, the fluidity of elegant motion are all artforms of femininity.

You can ritualize your routine by adding a level of intention to every aspect of your beauty regiment and slowing down to appreciate the art in every step. This will help you to appreciate your own beauty and to expend your Feminine Energy. Feminine Energy thrives in slow, sensual, beautiful moments. Making your beauty routine into an intentional beauty ritual will enhance your Feminine Energy and make your beauty routine way more powerful. Ritualizing your routine transforms it from vanity into art. A beauty ritual beautifies your appearance and your energy. Beauty is a gift. Natural beauty is a blessing, but self-made beauty is art.

A ritualized beauty routine can be a skincare routine, bath, shower, makeup routine, putting on perfume, or doing your hair. You can ritualize any aspect of your beauty care by taking time to slow down and adding an element of art and admiration to every motion.

10. Wear Lingerie For Yourself

Wearing lingerie can make you feel so sexy and luxurious. Lingerie should be for you, not for anyone else. Wearing something to impress someone else can feel unnatural and awkward. You should wear lingerie that makes you feel comfortable and confident. You deserve to feel beautiful for yourself, not because you're trying to impress anyone else. Wear it to impress yourself, to admire your own beauty. You do not need to wait for someone else to admire you. Your own admiration is more than enough of a valid reason to wear something that makes you feel sexy.

The nature of lingerie itself is so feminine. Lingerie is unnecessarily glamorous. Lingerie is a celebration of beauty for beauty's sake. Lingerie is a celebration of sensuality and sexuality. Lingerie is such powerful way to connect with Feminine Energy.

Wearing lingerie at home alone is the one of my favorite forms of self-seduction. Lounging around the house in lingerie can feel so luxurious and empowering. Something as simple as slipping on lingerie can boost your confidence and self-love so much and help you feel so feminine.

11. Practice A Sensual Yoga Flow

Feminine Yoga flows give us an opportunity to experience fluidity in motion. Feminine Energy is the energy of sensuality and fluidity. Moving your body in a sensual and fluid way awakens and expands your Feminine Energy. Yoga is a spiritual practice that goes beyond movement. Yoga is meant to bring balance to your mental body, emotional body, energetic body, and physical body. Yoga asanas (physical postures) have been developed and practiced by spiritual masters since ancient times with deep energetic and spiritual intentionality. There is even a style of Yoga called Yin Yoga which means Feminine Energy Yoga. Yin is feminine or shakti energy/chi.

Stretching and free flowing movement is so nurturing for Feminine Energy. However, Yoga transcends simple stretches. Yoga means "to yoke" or to join/come together. Yoga is mean to connect us with our higher selves. Yoga is meant to help us realize how deeply connected all of the Universe is. That everything is really a part of one large, beautiful thing. Whether or not you believe in Yogic philosophy, you can still benefit from the effects of practicing Yoga.

There are many "Feminine Energy", "sacral chakra", "Shakti" or "sensual" Yoga flows available on YouTube for free.

Here Is One Of My favorites:

12. Listen To A Guided Meditation For Feminine Energy

Meditating offers us the ability to have a direct and deep connection to energy. Mediation is a powerful and ancient tool for connecting with, expanding, and balancing energies. Meditating can help us to connect more deeply with our true nature, to see the nature of reality more clearly, and to have a more developed sense of awareness of subtle energies. Energy transcends worldly experiences and the thoughts of the mind. Feminine Energy exists on a more deep and real level of reality than what we are normally aware of. Meditating can help us to go deeper and to have more direct realization of energy.

Meditating gives us an opportunity to sit with ourselves and connect. Meditation invites us to go more deeply into the nature of our existence. Meditation gives us a more clear perspective on our thoughts, emotions, experiences, and energy. Meditation can grow our awareness of our energetic and mental state. Meditation helps us to see ourselves more clearly, to love ourselves more deeply, and to connect with our energy.

Guided meditations for connecting with your Feminine Energy can be deeply transformative and awakening experiences.

13. Spend Time With Other Women

One of the best ways you can nurture your Feminine Energy is to surround yourself with supportive women. Feminine Energy thrives in the presence of Feminine Energy. A group of feminine women can create such a powerful aura of Feminine Energy around themselves that mutually nurtures each other's individual Feminine Energy. The Western world is primarily centered around Masculine Energy in its societal structures. The fast paced, competitive, and goal-oriented culture in most societies can be very draining for Feminine Energy. Many women work in careers where the schedules are based around the 24-hour hormone cycle of men instead of the monthly hormone cycle of women, which can put a lot of stress on a woman's body throughout the different stages of her monthly cycle. Modern careers are also usually very competitive and demanding with a strong focus on achievements and doing, which is in conflict with the "being" nature of Feminine Energy. At home, personal responsibilities, relationships with family and friends, and the requirements of being a wife and/or mother can be very demanding and stressful. It is so important for women to create spaces with each other that honor the natural cycles of their body and the nature of Feminine Energy. There are very few spaces in the modern world that nurture Feminine Energy so it is important to find or create spaces to connect with other women in a nurturing way.

Feminine Social Settings To Connect With Other Women:

• Yin yoga classes

• Spiritual centers

• Moon circles

• Dance classes

• Support groups for moms

• Art classes

14. Have A Boudoir Photography Shoot

A boudoir photography shoot is all about empowerment and self-love. Boudoir photography has transformed over time. What was once designed to cater images of women to appeal to the male gaze, has now been transformed and reclaimed. It is no longer about pleasing men or trying to meet any beauty standards for the male gaze. A boudoir photography shoot is a space to celebrate yourself for yourself. Having your boudoir photos taken can make you feel so sexy and can give you an opportunity to see yourself the way you've always wanted to be seen. Boudoir photography is about self-admiration and expressing your worthiness as a sexual being. Too often the photos we are shown of women in the media are of models chosen by men, photographed by men, and produced for men. The world of boudoir photography aims to change that. Boudoir photographers are primarily women who take photos of women for those women. Boudoir photography is a space where women of all shapes, sizes, and colors get to experience seeing themselves through an admiring lens. Getting your boudoir photos taken for yourself is an act of self-love and self-admiration. A boudoir photography shoot is a space to celebrate that you are good enough just as you are, that you are worthy of being & feeling seen, and that you are beautiful.
