For centuries, women have been trained and conditioned to link our value to external people or things. This leads to internal imbalance, disembodiment, disempowerment, and ultimately crisis.
So, how can we correct and heal from this long history of misalignment? There are three pillars that must be lovingly cultivated in order to own how perfect, complete, and magical you are, and fully step into your feminine power.
Pillar 1 - Embodiment
Embodiment is, quite simply, the state of being in tune with your physical body. In today’s world, we often highly value our mind and our ability to think our way out of a difficult situation. However, this “mind first” approach comes at a cost - we lose touch with our body! The mind is good at analyzing data and predicting outcomes, but terrible at evaluating emotional experiences. True guidance lives in our heart and soul, and is expressed through sensations in our bodies. First, learn how to tune into your body’s sensations and pay more attention to the feedback it provides - even when your mind resists or tells you it’s illogical! Then, find ways to increase pleasurable experiences or interactions (those your body tells you to say “yes” to) while decreasing tense, rigid, or unpleasant experiences or interactions (following your gut instinct when your body says “no”).
Pillar 2 - Sovereignty
Sovereignty is your ability to take care of yourself and put your needs first! Of course, this doesn’t mean ignoring other people or responsibilities in your life. Instead, it’s the practice of taking care of yourself first so that you can pour from a full cup when serving others.
The ways in which each woman chooses to serve her own needs can vary greatly, from taking a walk to listening to your favorite song or even wearing an outfit that makes you feel beautifully feminine. The amount of time you spend or the ways in which you take care of yourself are not as important as the intention and energy you put into this practice - only by honoring yourself can you hold onto the feminine power that you’re working so hard to increase! Many of us don’t know at first what makes us feel good or feeds our energy; this is a great chance to go back to the first Pillar and spend more time feeling into our bodies and our personal pleasure response.
Pillar 3 - Sensuality
Sensuality is your ability to be penetrated by life, experiences, emotions, love, and your partner. Softening the edges and letting yourself feel fully without fearing it.
You can take the valuable feedback from your body, from the second Pillar and learn how to allow uncomfortable or unpleasant feelings to pass through you, like water passing smoothly through a pipe. In fact, many women are surprised to learn that the more you actively broaden your capacity to feel the full spectrum of emotions, the more you open yourself to deeper and deeper pleasure! In short, sensuality is a powerful way to rebalance our inner duality.
Are you ready to reclaim your feminine identity and your birthright of juicy, sacred feminine power?
The real question is, can you afford not to?
