Connecting with the Divine Feminine
When I was diagnosed with IBD in 2021, I spent a whole year trying to figure out why this happened to me. I saw it as a challenge. I saw it as something I needed to figure out in order to be initiated into spiritualism. I tried everything under the sun. I tried all sorts of different diets, exercises, and mediations. Everyday when I’d see that my disease didn’t go away, I’d immediately feel sadness, fear, and anger. I thought I was being punished in some way for not being able to cure this disease through all my efforts. What I soon came to realize is that trying to figure it out wasn’t the right approach. Allowing the answers to trickle in on there own time was. As soon I accepted that I wasn’t in control is when things started to turn around. You might be wondering what do you mean by allowing answers to come? It means you need to connect with your feminine side. When I stopped trying so hard and stopped beating myself up for being sick, and started listening to my body and allowing it to feel the way it wanted to feel without any judgment, that is when I started getting ideas and answers to my questions. Even to this day, I will have some symptoms that will pop up after months of remission, but instead of getting mad and disappointed like I used too, I take it as an opportunity to slow down and mediate on the situation. Instead of asking myself a million questions during meditations out of fear on what to do, I now allow the answers to come in naturally. Even if things continue to take a turn for the worse, I don’t panic like I used too, I use my logic as well as my intuition and I trust that things will work out.
Connecting with your feminine especially if you find you are naturally more divinely feminine is so important today. We live in a world dominated by masculine energy, So its even more important for our true feminine souls to come out of the shadows and be who they truly are without shame. So how do you know you have more feminine nature you might ask? here are some signs that may help you to see if you are a true femine soul reguardless of gender. Most true femines are women but I have seen men fit into this category as well.
You find yourself day dreaming about different ways to improve yourself, your situation and your health. Feminines need very clear channels to be able to connect with the divine and are always looking for new ways to clear blocked energy. THis is why their intuition is so high.
Extremely intuitive. They just know how people are feeling before they even say how they are feeling. They can pick up on energy in places or people very quickly and can sometimes come off judgmental even though this is the furthest thing from the truth. They feel they have a need to protect their energy at all costs so they create a lot of boundaries with the people around them. This is why you won’t find a true feminine in a large group of friends. Any situation that may compromise their authenticity is not something the divine feminines are looking for. They prefer smaller more intimate friendships from all over, not just one group.
They Slow down in seasons like fall and winter. This is essential for the feminines. They need this time to connect with god and their bodies. They need this time to clear and shed any inauthentic thoughts and feelings they may be having. This is a time for deep mediation and creative ideas to blossom'.
Easily startled and cry especially during mensuration. Divine femines are very intuned with thier cycles and are called to withdrawl from society during this time. This is another very hard boundary that feminines need to put up, however it can be extremely difficult in this day and age. Thats why they may come off very stand offish at certain times of the month
They love to create. Feminines are the creators, the artists, the writers, and the dancers of the world. They tend to go with the flow of life instead of planning out every little detail of everyday. They live life the same way they create art. Slowly, thoughtfully, and without expectation.
If this at all sounds like you, or could be you but your too busy playing the masculine energy roll, then its time to return to your true self. I found myself for years trying to be the most liked, social person at the party. Surronding myself with large groups of people and going out every weekend was something I felt I needed to do in order to fit in. I would drink in excess, stay up until 1 or 2 in the morning, and wake up to go to school or work. I hated doing this but I felt like this was the only way I could be happy. These are all very toxic masculine activities. As a feminine, I still need the socialization but I need to listen to my body to figure out when it is a good time to be social and when is a good time to retract. A good way of doing this is by following the seasons of my cycle. During ovualtion or right after my period ends is a great time to go out and embody some of my more masculine energy. After ovulation and during my period is a sacred time for me to withdrawal. If your a mother, this might be hard to do, but do whatever you can to have some alone time with yourself to reflect and practice self care rituals. We live in a world where most women now a days have some kind of hormonal imbalance or endocrine issue. I think its so important for women to really connect with themselves in order to figure out who they really are. Divinely masculine or Feminine? Getting a true balance between the two in ideal but again you have to listen to your body to know when to active which energy.
