FEMININE Energy – time to check, balance, and fill up if required.
FIRST, I know it may be strange that I (as a man) am writing this article; however, in my Reiki and energy practices, I have noticed that this energy is appearing somewhat drained or off balance for a number of my clients, both women and men. Particularly, patterns of receiving in life and expressing (or repressing). So, I wanted to share some knowledge and attention of our collective Feminine Energy with the hopes that this information may be a part of healing and for some an opportunity to work on and replenish this important side of life.
All of us are made up of both feminine and masculine energy. These two very different energies complement each other. In your body, the right side harnesses your masculine energy. The left side of your body harnesses feminine energy.
Feminine energy is all about softness, receptivity, creativity, intuition, and flow. It can be used to create a sense of abundance by working with what we already have and allowing for the natural unfolding of our dreams and desires.
Emotional health can take a toll when feminine energy is not allowed to flow freely. One of the signs of blocked feminine energy is you might have a fear of vulnerability, feel disconnected from your emotions, and have a hard time expressing how you truly feel.
Since the left side and right side of your body (yin and yang, receiving and giving) are two sides of the same coin, when one side is imbalanced, it also affects the other side.
Left-side energy blockages (feminine side of the body)
When various symptoms manifest in the left side of the body, it reveals patterns associated with the feminine energy in your life: patterns of receiving and expressing (or repressing) your femininity are ingrained on the left side of your body.
If there are blockages on the left side, it may indicate difficulty accessing and receiving abundance in all aspects of life, including success, love, gifts, and money. It may also reveal a resistance to accepting your own nature, talents, potential, and creative power (in case you resonate with this, you may want to read more about feminine power healing).
This can lead to feelings of worthlessness, loneliness, and a lack of self-value. On the other hand, there may be a need for constant validation and energy from others and a lack of healthy boundaries.
SOME SUGGESTIONS TO REPLENISH YOUR ENERGY
SACRED SPACES: Create a space at home where you can meditate and reflect. Make an altar; all you need is a candle, crystal, or picture.
Set intentions: Commit to listening to and getting to know your sacred feminine in your daily journal, even if it’s just one line.
BE STILL: Sit with a cup of herbal tea for around 20 minutes. Tea is an amazing ally for awakening the spirit, grounding the body, and coming home to yourself.
BREATHE DEEPLY: Start slowly, for five or so minutes if simple breathing practices. Online resources abound. Make a list and go over it every day.
CONNECT WITH OTHERS: Share this process of discovery with a friend. Once you’ve completed your morning practice, text each other.
Listen to your intuition, which is the purest expression of your feminine energy, while you go through this process of reestablishing your connection with the ancient wisdom inside.
Intuition is something that we all have; we just don’t trust ourselves enough sometimes to listen to it. Women can access intuition easier than men do; all we need to do is follow our internal compass and trust the feelings in our bodies. When we go with how we feel, we can never get it wrong. We simply need to learn to trust ourselves.
