In last week’s blog I talked about three ways to reclaim your feminine power. This week, I want to expand upon that topic since I feel it is so important to the happiness and full expression of all women and to the healing of our masculine-dominant culture that has spun out-of-control and is in desperate need of balance, wholeness and integration.

So, what is feminine power?

I view feminine power as being in touch with and able to express the qualities of inner guidance, intuition, receptivity, nurturance, compassion, open-heartedness, surrender, sensuality, emotions and feelings. It is also being able to balance these feminine qualities with the empowered masculine qualities of creating goals, taking purposeful action, developing structure, and making things happen.

Ultimately, feminine power is being able to live from our deepest truth, feel happy, fulfilled and actualize our gifts and talents in the world in whatever way is authentic for us.

These feminine qualities exist in all of us, women and men. Yet, the masculine-dominant culture has overlooked the feminine traits as unimportant, for the most part, and caused a disconnect in the hearts and souls of many.

For women in particular, this has caused untold pain and a loss of our basic essence and wholeness, a dimming down of our light and an inability to fully claim our gifts, talents and confidently express them in the world.

However, there is an energetic shift now happening that is making this imbalance intolerable and women are taking note in droves. I speak to women every day who no longer feel satisfied with the old paradigm. They feel great unrest, dissatisfaction with the status quo and are yearning for deeper self-expression, fulfillment and happiness.

So what are we to do? How do we clear our blocks, fears, limiting beliefs and behaviors and emerge into a higher state of consciousness that can sustain our full power as women?

Last week I spoke about clearing codependency, connecting with one’s dreams and desires and dealing with negative, fearful thoughts.

Here’s 3 more strategies:

These are amazing times we live in…

Like never before, there are so many opportunities open to all of us to maximize our potential and fulfill our dreams.

I think many of us can feel it intuitively that big changes are afoot and the energy and consciousness on the planet is shifting at an unprecedented speed. We are all being called to heal and transform the unhealed parts of ourselves. This can feel exhilarating one day and daunting the next. It is a bit of a roller coaster ride and it’s not going to slow down anytime soon.

As a matter of fact, I feel the ride is only going to get faster and deeper…

One of the changes I see is more awareness and consciousness around the empowered feminine archetype and what it means and looks like to live from this place.  The energy of the divine feminine is becoming stronger on the planet now as our consciousness is shifting to a higher vibration and we are being called like never before to step into this more fully.

I am noticing in my clients, both women and men, that it is becoming increasing painful to stay disconnected from their feminine energy/power and to remain masculine-dominant like so many of us have lived in the past.

By feminine energy I mean that part of us that is open, receptive, intuitive, creative, compassionate, nurturing, non-linear and connected to our feelings and emotions. While masculine energy is typically more goal and purpose driven, rational, linear, focused, protective, structured and about doing and achieving.

All of us, men and women, contain both masculine and feminine energy. It’s simply that our culture has historically favored the masculine over the feminine and created an imbalance that is now coming to be corrected.

So how do we do this? How do we begin to honor and unveil this potent feminine energy that yearns to be revealed in order to heal us both individually and collectively?
