These 15 ways to connect with your divine feminine energy will help you awaken the Goddess within.

All of reality is based on the balance of polarities. We see this principle of reality represented in countless ways in our day to day lives, and through all of ancient history. Countless spiritual and philosophical masters have recognized the power of polar energies and the importance of finding a healthy balance between them. We see this represented through out various cultures and traditions. Perhaps the most well known representations of this concept are the Yin and Yang symbols from Chinese philosophy, and the Shiva and Shakti energies from yogic philosophy.

Feminine energy is the energy of:

Creativity
Intuition
Sensuality
Compassion
Embodiment
Beauty
Ease
Softening
Receptivity
Being

Masculine energy is the energy of:

Analyzing
Leadership
Action
Strength
Giving
Honor
Structure
Protection
Discipline
Doing

We live in an imbalanced world that is dominated by masculine energy. We can see this in more obvious ways such as Earth’s long history of patriarchal societies and the oppression of women. However, we can also see this in less obvious ways such as the pressure from society to measure our worth based on our achievements, the way that emotions are often seen as weak, the increasing disconnection that people have from their bodies, and so much more. We live in a world that prioritizes doing over being. This can make it difficult to connect with our feminine energy and lead to energetic imbalances.

Embracing and honoring our divine feminine energy helps us to come back into balance with our true nature. Feminine energy allows us to connect with our authentic self and rest in our true being. Empowering your feminine energy will open you up into a state of flow, ease, and pleasure. Masculine energy helps us move through life, but feminine energy is what helps us enjoy life.

These 15 ways to connect with your divine feminine energy will help bring balance and harmony to the sacred polar energies within you.

Learn About The Principles of Feminine and Masculine Energy

Knowledge is power. The more knowledge we have about the principles of Masculine and Feminine energy the more aware we can be of how these energies are playing out in our lives. There are countless books, YouTube videos, ancient philosophical texts, podcasts, courses, and other resources to learn about these energies.

Check out this video to get started learning about the basics of feminine and masculine energy:

Rest

Rest, ease, and flow are gifts from the feminine. Simply resting in our being is the natural state of the feminine.

We live in a world that prioritizes doing over being and achieving over enjoying. We are under almost constant pressure to do more, work harder, and the need for rest is often treated as a weakness. This culture of doing instead of being can cause severe energetic imbalances and take us out of our feminine energy.

Rest is sacred. Rest and ease are the foundation from which feminine energy can thrive and flow.

Adorn Yourself With Beauty

The way we present ourselves to the world has a direct impact on the way we feel about ourselves. When we dress sloppy, we feel sloppy. When we dress elegant, we feel elegant. If we bring intentionality to our appearance we can influence the way others perceive us and the way we perceive ourselves.

There is no one in this world that is just like you. You are a unique, one of a kind, piece of art created from star dust. You are worthy of embracing your unique look and enhancing your own beauty. Your body is a sacred temple that houses your precious soul. It is a beautiful gift from the universe and it deserves to be honored, respected, and admired for the amazing miracle it is.

You are living art. You deserve to treat yourself like you are a creature of beauty because you are.

Being intentional with the way we curate our outer appearance gives us an opportunity to express and reflect our inner beauty out into the world. We can use our style to embrace and express our femininity and to show up in the world as the divine beings that we are.

Dance

Dance can be way more than just a series of choreographed moves designed to be performed for others. Dancing can be a sacred and spiritual practice. When we allow our bodies to move us instead of moving our bodies something beautiful unfolds. Allowing yourself to embody and move with the feminine energy flowing through your body unleashes the sacred wisdom and magic of your beautiful body.

Check out this video which dives into “how twerking (which really is just a modern term for a traditional African dance move)+ belly dancing (which is also a modern term the colonizers placed over Middle Eastern dance forms) are also forgotten forms of the sacred feminine path to spirituality.”

Surround Yourself With Beauty

Our physical environment has a very strong impact on our mental environment. This article explains more about how beautiful spaces impact our mood and mental health. Our outer world is a reflection of our inner world. In the same way, our outer world will reflect into our inner world. When we surround ourselves with beauty it is a daily reminder that we are worthy of and belong in sate of beauty.

Here are some ideas of ways that you can add more beauty into your day to day life:

Buy yourself flowers
Decorate your space with things that represent your unique style
Art pieces
Keeping your space clean and organized
Soft, luxurious blankets
Playing beautiful music
Lighting candles
Consuming positive “feel good” content
Sentimental objects
Pictures of loved ones
Spending time with inspiring people that bring light into your life
House plants
Spiritually significant objects: altars, statues, offerings, etc.
Spending time in nature
Poetry
Creating art
Prioritize form as well as function
Looking for the beauty in everything you see

Beauty is everywhere. Look for it, Create it, Be it.

Create

Feminine energy, Shakti, is the powerful force responsible for all of creation. Shakti is the force behind the birth of all things. Feminine energy is the power in a woman as she brings new life into the world through her sacred yoni. It is the spark of inspiration guiding each brush stroke of every artist, the formation of every word in a poem, the blossoming of every flower, and the life force of all things.

Feminine energy is the creative force in the hearts of all beings.

Every time we create we are working with the divine power of feminine energy.

Yoga

Yoga is an incredibly powerful way to connect with our physical and energetic body. This ancient and sacred practice helps us connect with our bodies, deepens our relationship with ourselves, and brings balance to our energy. Since ancient times, yoga has been used to help people connect with their feminine energy and to bring harmony and balance to the Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine.

Yin and Hatha yoga are especially powerful for working with feminine energy. In Chinese medicine, Yin energy is the energy of the feminine. Hatha (Ha- sun/masculine energy Tha- moon/feminine energy) yoga balances the masculine and feminine energies.

Yoga offers us a sacred space to go inward and connect with our feminine energy, to flow with our energy, and to embody our energy. Embodiment is a gift from the Divine Feminine.

Connect With Your Sensuality and Pleasure

In most countries around the world female bodies are hypersexualized and marketed to us through the lens of the male gaze. At the same time, women receive messages of shame and disgust around expressing or enjoying their own bodies and sexuality for themselves. Female sexuality and pleasure are treated as objects for men.

Societies obsession with using women’s bodies and sexuality as marketing tools to sell to men has a severely negative impact on women. The constant feed of unrealistic beauty standards, male pleasure centered porn, the epidemic of sexual violence against women, and patriarchal societies at large have created some level of trauma in all women. The message is sent – female sexuality is only ok if you fit the beauty standard, and please men. We see this message everywhere. This is the message being pushed on us by patriarchal societies, social media, television and movies, marketing campaigns, and perhaps most obviously by porn.

It is not shocking that so many women feel unsafe or unworthy of expressing their sexuality. So many women feel unsafe in their bodies and deeply disconnected from their sensuality.

Pleasure is an incredible source of feminine power. For most of human history the power of a sexually empowered woman has been feared. Patriarchal societies have tried to conquer and take our sexual power for themselves. Reclaiming your pleasure and sexuality for yourself is a powerful way to awaken the force of your feminine energy.

Female pleasure is sacred. It does not belong to man. It does not belong to a male God. A woman’s pleasure belongs to her and her alone.

Nurture

Nurturing other people and things connects us with the powerful feminine energy of the divine mother, Mother Earth. The feminine power of Mother Earth is constantly nurturing and sustaining all life on our planet. Nurturing energy is feminine energy.

When we nurture others we are also nurturing the feminine energy within us.

You do not have to be a mother to connect with the power of your nurturing feminine energy.

You can nurture:

Friends
Family
Plants
Children
Pets
Lovers
Your students
Your employees
Your colleagues
Your community
Your business
Your skills
Your projects
Yourself

Romanticize Your Life

Romanticizing your life is about so much more than creating an aesthetic space or buying yourself flowers. Romanticizing your life is about slowing down. It’s about taking your time to truly enjoy the moment that you’re in and to admire the beauty that is all around you. It’s about adding a level of intentionality to everything you do.

Romanticizing your life is about adding as much beauty and pleasure to everything around you that you can and taking the time to slow down and enjoy it.

This world is beautiful. Life is beautiful. Take the time to admire it.

Affirmations

Our words are our spells. Affirmations are a powerful way to rewire our brains, change the way we see ourselves, transform our energy, and make a difference in the way we show up in the world.

Check out these affirmations to awaken your divine feminine energy.

Spend Meaningful Time With Other Women

Perhaps one of the most powerful ways to connect with your feminine energy is to connect with other women. There is so much power in women coming together to support and nurture each other. When we create safe spaces to share with each other in deep ways, to connect over our shared struggles, and to celebrate each other’s wins we can nourish and support our feminine energy collectively.

There are so many experiences that women go through that only each other can truly understand. In a “man’s world” there is something so healing and powerful about women coming together on their own terms to honor and support each other.

There is so much power in women supporting other women.

Connect With Your Intuition

There is a reason for the expression “feminine intuition”. Intuition is a characteristic of feminine energy.

We live in a world that prioritizes analyzing and logic over intuition and feeling. We are taught to ignore our gut feelings and to use logic to make all of our decisions. The reasoning and logical aspects of the sacred masculine are necessary and beautiful. However, they are not any more valid than the mystical intuitive powers of the feminine.

Our intuition is our sacred knowing. Intuition connects us more deeply to other people, the world around us, our spirituality, and ourselves.

You can connect with your intuition through:

Rituals
Divination
Spiritual practices
Prayer
Trusting your internal knowing
Feeling into and listening to your body
Meditating
Paying attention to the signs and synchronicities all around you

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”

Learn About Your Beautiful Body

There are so many misunderstandings about the female body. We’ve all heard jokes about men not knowing where to find the clitoris. Most people do not understand that the vagina is exclusively the birth canal, not the entire exterior and interior of female genitals. This may seem silly. However, widespread ignorance about female bodies is much more serious than most people realize. Women are statistically more likely to be misdiagnosed by medical professionals, too many standard birth procedures in hospitals actually go against what is best for the health of mom and baby, and the effects of medications are primarily studied and dosed according to male bodies. These are only a few of the many shocking facts about how understudied and under cared for women’s bodies are. There is a shocking lack of knowledge about female anatomy from the general public as well as medical professionals.

It is so important to educate yourself about your own body instead of leaving your health in the hands of others, especially as a woman.

Learning about and understanding your sacred temple is so empowering. Understanding your amazing body will help you to connect with your body more deeply, honor your body, and care for your body.

Live In Sync With Your Feminine Cycle

Women’s hormones are based around a month long cycle. Men’s hormones are based around a daily cycle.

Women cycle with the Moon. Men cycle with the Sun.

Women’s bodies were never meant to be on the same schedule and routine everyday the way that men’s bodies are. Most societies are structured in a way that honors the male hormone cycle, not the feminine.

Our feminine phases are sacred and deserve to be honored. For most of us, it may not be possible to live in total sync with our cycle because most societal structures favor the male hormone cycle. However, it can be deeply nourishing and empowering to learn about your feminine phases and to try to adjust your life to honor them as much as possible.
