How to Embrace Your Feminine Energy in a Masculine World

This course achieving how to embrace your feminine energy.

Many women find that, due to cultural conditioning and values, we habitually and unconsciously act from a masculine mode of being. Most of the time, we are not even aware of it. We are not acting from our true essence as women. It is not serving us personally or collectively. While this may not be your experience, see if it is.

I left an activity gets you in touch with the dominant masculine and feminine traits and your association to each. I’ve been surprised to discover how much I operated from the “masculine” qualities. How habitual and idealized they really are. I also noticed I had more “feminine” qualities than I expected. I was drawn to cultivate them. From this awareness, I began to make conscious choices, at times leaning on one side of the list more than the other. Both are valuable and powerful, and it is important to balance your skills set with non-dominant traits.

1. Make 2 columns, titled “Masculine” and “Feminine,” to create lists of qualities.
2. Here are some ideas to get you started. Add and rearrange to your preference.
   Feminine: sensual, chaotic, eclectic, spontaneous, intuitive, emotional Masculine: logical, straightforward, assertive, organized, rigid, rational
3. Notice which side you tend to operate from—with no blame, shame, or judgment implied. Journal about your observations.
4. Sense what each list of qualities feels like in your body. What are your feelings about qualities of the other side of the list? What automatic reactions do you have? Really let yourself sink into the essence of each.
5. Move your body or take the posture of each quality on the 2 lists.
6. Using whatever art materials you have handy, image the essence of each list.
   (Even a basic pen or crayons will do. Just do it.)
7. What thoughts and feelings come up for you? Is one list easier to express
   than the other?
8. Notice where and when you automatically act from qualities on the lists.
   What/who is this serving? Know that these are habits and conditioning that
   can be shifted with attention and care.
9. Journal, paint, draw, or write a poem about your observations.
10. As you move through your life, allow yourself to consciously explore and express qualities from your non-dominant, least-favored list. Be curious about the value in operating from the unexpressed qualities that are embedded in this list.

Feed the Feminine First
Feeding Feminine Soul means taking time and making time for ourselves, every day. Do some kind of Soul Care practice first thing upon waking. This enlivens and enhances the Divine Feminine within. We signal to ourselves and the world that our needs are important and that we can tend them. Notice how much better you feel when you do these practices with some regularity, versus how you feel and how your day unfolds when you skip this morning Soul Care. (Don’t shoot for perfection!) By starting our day off this way we set a tone and mood that is positively addicting.

1. İlk uyandıktan sonra 5-10 dakika boyunca sabah rutininize kolayca ve zahmetsizce dahil edebileceğiniz bir Ruh Bakımı becerisi veya aracı seçin. Bu, yataktan çıkmadan önce meditasyon yapmak veya günlük tutmak, dua etmek veya
   duştayken niyet belirlemek, yoga yapmak veya yürüyüşe çıkmak olabilir.
   – Sizi gerçekten destekleyen ve ayakta tutan uygulamalar veya faaliyetler nelerdir?
   – Sabahları 5 veya 10 dakikanızı bu uygulamaları yapmaya ayırabilir misiniz?
2. Don’t try to be perfect, start with 1-3 minutes if 5 is too much!
3. İlham aldıkça uygulamaları ekleyin ve/veya artırın. Her sabah kendinize bu Ruh beslenmesini vermenin faydasını göreceksiniz. Ve etrafınızdaki herkes de öyle olacak!

Stepping into Feminine Leadership

Are there places in your own life where you feel particularly called — situations or issues that grab your attention? Are you able to speak up with care, concern, and compassion? Often we keep these awarenesses hidden for fear of upsetting the status quo, wanting to keep the peace, etc. Those days need to be over, as we are reaching crises of epic proportions in almost all areas of society.

1. Tune in to your breath, your body and heart. Let your mind settle down. Breathe deeply and slowly.
2. Ask your heart: Are there any key issues or areas you are concerned about? (You may not need to ask, or you might see pictures appear in your heartmind.) Journal about what comes up for you. Be careful not to judge, justbe curious.
3. Keep breathing. This slows everything down.
4. Are there any areas of your life: your community, family, town, or church, where you feel you could make more impact?
5. What areas, issues, or interests could you become more engaged and outspoken about?
6. Is there one action, one issue you could give voice to? You could take one small step, like making a phone call, sitting in on a meeting you wouldn’t usually go to (but would like to), or speaking up in a controversial conversation when you might normally stay quiet. Ask your body wisdom, inner knowing, heart, or Source how to best respond. (Or who/whatever you feel connected to.)
    Could you do that this week or this month? Make it a small step, if it is particularly sensitive and triggering.
7. As women we thrive in working together, yet we often feel isolated. We don’t
   have to do it alone anymore. What can you do to get support? Can you get your community involved with you?
8. Appreciate yourself for your care and concern, for being willing to be willing. You don’t need to have an answer or plan, and this in and of itself can be uncomfortable.
9. Journal your thoughts, feelings, and intuitions. By listening to your instinct, you activate your intuitive wisdom. It will get louder when heeded. Writing down these “hits” helps immensely. Otherwise, this guidance is easy to overlook or discount.
