The Sacred Feminine
The Feminine isn't just an energy - she's the primal force of creation living in your cells, the wild wisdom speaking through your emotions, the ancient remembering coded in your DNA.
Let's begin where we always begin - in your body.
Take a breath. Feel what's here. Another breath. Let yourself land fully in this moment. Notice what's true in your physical form right now - the heaviness, the lightness, the density, the space. All of it is welcome. All of it is perfect.
The Truth of Energy
In working with the feminine, we work with the truth of energy, not the truth of story.
Your stories - what your mind makes things mean, what your conditioning tells you things should be - will lead you in circles.
But energy never lies.
Energy will tell you exactly what it needs if you learn to listen.
And what energy needs, fundamentally, is to move.
This is why we're constantly dropping out of our heads and into our bodies.
This is why we keep coming back to sensation, to breath, to sound, to emotion.
Humans are great at making energy not move.
We're masters at:
- Holding it in
- Pushing it down
- Locking it away
- Making it wrong
But the Feminine way is to let energy flow. To let it move through us like water, like wind, like wildfire. To let it shape us, change us, transform us.
The Emotional Body
The Feminine is the emotional, intuitive, creative and sexual bodies - that vast ocean of feeling living inside you. She's not interested in being "grounded" all the time or maintaining some perfect state of zen. She wants to:
- Feel everything fully
- Express without holding back
- Move with what's true
- Dance between all states of being
Your emotions aren't problems to be solved. They're not wounds to be healed. They're energetic material asking to move through you.
The grief, the rage, the joy, the desire - it's all perfect. It's all sacred. It's all part of your medicine.
The Non-Linear Path
The Feminine doesn't move in straight lines. She spirals. She cycles.
She doubles back and leaps forward and dances sideways. This is why working with her can feel so frustrating to our linear minds.
The wounded masculine wants:
- Clear progression
- Visible results
- Measurable growth
- Definable outcomes
But the Feminine way is more mysterious:
- Sometimes the teaching lands years after it's given
- Sometimes the healing happens in reverse
- Sometimes the breakthrough comes through breakdown
- Sometimes the path forward is actually a return
Sacred Practice: Energy Moving
Let's explore how to work with energy in your body.
Find a comfortable space where you can move freely. You might want to be on the floor for this.
1. First, just land in your body:
- Feel where you connect with the earth
- Notice what sensations are present
- Let go of any need to change anything
2. Begin to follow the energy:
- If you need to stretch, stretch
- If you need to shake, shake
- If you need to roll, roll
- Let your body show you how it wants to move
3. Open to sound:
- Let your exhales be audible
- Let sounds come up from your belly
- Let your jaw release and open
- Let your throat express what's true
4. Follow what arises:
- Some will move fast
- Some will move slow
- Some will barely move at all
- All of it is perfect
There's no wrong way to do this. Your body knows exactly what it needs.
Ancient Remembering
Your body holds memories older than time.
She remembers:
- When women were the wisdom keepers
- When our cycles guided communities
- When our intuition was revered
- When our emotions were seen as sacred
This knowing lives in your cells, in your bones, in your blood. It's waiting to be remembered, to be reclaimed, to be lived again.
Your Invitation
For the next week, I invite you to:
1. Track energy in your body:
- Where does it want to move?
- Where does it feel stuck?
- What is it asking for?
2. Welcome all emotions:
- The grief is perfect
- The rage is perfect
- The joy is perfect
- The numbness is perfect (it’s sensation too)
3. Trust the non-linear path:
- Let go of "should"
- Let go of timelines
- Let go of outcomes
- Let the feminine lead
Remember: Your body is the portal through which the Feminine speaks. The more you trust Her wisdom, the more she will reveal to you.
The Feminine doesn't need to be learned - she needs to be remembered. Awakened. She's already living in your cells, speaking through your emotions, moving through your dreams.
