Whether you’re looking to boost your confidence, feel more connected, or simply embrace your natural femininity, we have picked out 5 key self-care notes that will guide you on your journey and help you remove any confusion to what these energies truly embody.
Now, let’s dive deep into how you can nurture and amplify your divine feminine energy, one ritual at a time…
What is feminine energy?
Feminine energy mainly originates from many ancient cultures as almost all, had a divine feminine concept that was expressed in many unique and different ways.
Within Hindu culture it is associated as ‘Shakti’ energy which is considered as the "Universal Power" that is responsible for creation and pure consciousness. Whereas, within Chinese philosophy it is expressed through the ‘yin and the yang.’ The ‘ying’ being the true feminine life force of receptivity and nurturing energy.
Many conceptions of natural feminine energy have been completely overtaken and popularised by western culture and now is used as a broad term to define certain characteristics that feminine women ‘should’ expectedly have.
However, true and authentic feminine energy isn’t just about the clothes you wear, what you’re interested in or what you talk about. It’s mainly a deep reflection and representation of your inner self, who you are at the core, and learning to balance the light and dark feminine energy within yourself.
How it’s important to first understand how to balance between both the masculine and feminine energy.
Ancient cultures consistently speak of inner discovery and constant reflection showing that complementary energies exist within each being and not just masculine energy for men and feminine energy for women.
To understand how to balance the yin and yang, it’s important to unlearn those toxic and false ideologies that teach us that masculine energy is merely strong, protective and bold.
Yet whilst part of this is true, it can also be explained to be penetrative. Meaning to also be more logical, direct and structured which often gets lost frequently in those harsh and ruthless stereotypes.
The same applies to feminine energy as it’s true essence is to be receptive; rather than the stereotypical view of feminine energy being merely more compassionate, caring and emotional than the masculine. Qualities that are more suitable within this term are to be more fluid, submissive, creative and shows indirect energy.
Therefore, balancing both the divine feminine and masculine successfully comes from understanding moderation and practically taking care of both energies within yourself.

5 self care tips to enhance and embrace the Divine feminine energy
1. Getting Creative: Expressing Your Inner Artist
Creativity is at the heart of feminine energy. Whether it’s painting, writing, crafting, or dancing, or whatever you find creative joy in. Allowing yourself to engage in creative activities is a powerful way to reconnect with your inner self.
Doing so, also significantly allows a reconnection with the inner child by having more fun with a personal hobby, getting involved with different communities and letting your most innocent and playful self come to the surface.
Even if you don’t really have time to pick up something new, try to focus on the little things you already enjoy. For example; cooking, taking part in a nightly self-care or skincare routine, spending more time with friends, doing something you love by yourself to make you feel more empowered; the list can go on…
Even if you don’t notice, these little things do make a bigger impact and you will start to notice more with time how lighter you are and how you start to feel more connected within yourself. In result increasing natural happiness, to then radiating your true authentic feminine energy.
2. Living cyclically in order to connect more with nature
Learning to live cyclically shows true embodiment of ‘living within the seasons’ which is so important when embracing and embodying our divine feminine energy. It is an interesting and natural way to connect more with nature in order to become our most authentic and radiant selves.
What does living cyclically actually mean?
Within our daily lives we are all often consumed by many distractions whether that be our jobs, our financial positions, taking care of others and the all the things society teaches us that we ‘should’ need in order to live a happy and peaceful life.
All of these factors has lead us to collectively become disconnected from simpler pleasures and has taught us to ignore the cyclical nature of life, ignoring the wonderful fact that life isn’t meant to be just linear.
Living a cyclical life teaches us to become more aligned with living within the seasons, your natural cycle (whether that be the lunar cycle or your own natural menstrual cycle), and to listen to what our bodies and our minds are telling us that we need. Doing so, will only enhance your feelings of empowerment and natural happiness, allowing you to listen to your intuition, whenever you need to.
So living cyclically typically looks like; connecting with nature and going for peaceful walks every now and then, listening to your body when it’s showing you to rest, syncing your monthly cycle to the lunar cycle or your own, and alongside eating foods that are ripe within the right seasons.
In more simple terms, a cyclical life is mainly taking time to live at a slower pace, with more intention in order to transform and tap into your divine cyclical feminine energy.
3. embracing your natural sensuality: to celebrate life
This one surprisingly is quite hard for a lot of people to hear, but the natural light feminine energy only wants to play. This shouldn’t be taken in an unserious, careless and unprofessional way yet in more of an innocent, uplifting and empowering manner. The feminine is described to be receptive meaning it’s quite common for divine feminine’s to absorb energy quite quickly, becoming sensitive and empathic towards emotions. In result of this, many of us become quite burnt out, exhausted and tired usually quicker than the masculine energy does.
However, learning ways to embrace your natural sensuality in order to celebrate life and reconnect with your innocence is a wonderful way to fix these sensitive emotions.
This merely manifests within feeling gratitude for your life and others, appreciating what you have, connecting with your inner child, embracing your emotions and people within your lives, romanticising what you find to be hard and turning negativity into positivity, but most of all to celebrate your wins no matter how small they are.
This can be easily mistaken between light and dark feminine energy where many have picked up the perception that divine feminine energy is lustful, provocative and carries manipulative behaviours for example “femme fatale” trends and dark feminine traits. However, these are part of a wounded feminine energy that is healed by embracing these darker parts of ourselves. Wheras, the divine light feminine always works to make herself and those around her feel good no matter what.

4. Tuning into your intuition : devoting to yourself
Finding ways to understand how to start listening to your personal, inner intuition more is possibly the kindest thing you could do for your feminine being. It’s important to take time out specifically, to make sure you have devotion to yourself.
Making sure you are being more intentional with connecting with your divine feminine is very beneficial. This can be seen practically within your daily spiritual practices, that activate your divine intuitive roles. It could also be seen with making soul and heart based decision’s, alongside trusting yourself with what you feel, think and understand.
The feminine soul can act mainly on her emotions which can be a very positive thing when you take the time out to analyse and process them in a healthy way.
However, when you are moving through the wounded feminine you may especially struggle with this.
If that sounds like you maybe take extra time out to heal and feel your emotions, working through what you believe to be blocking you and instead create positive intentions to overcome them.
5. Navigating your emotions in order to express authenticity
Opening up to be in your natural feminine energy can sometimes be met with a lot of resistance; especially within our today’s modern hustle culture, it’s so easy to suck in all of your emotions whether positive or negative because we, as woman, are told to constantly move onto the next thing.
Naturally, your feminine energy doesn’t like this as the natural feminine being, only desires to express and sit in her emotions freely and authentically.
Therefore, it’s so important to listen to your emotions, and try to tune in with them instead of suppressing and treating them with negativity. Being kind to our souls and opening up to using them to your own advantage is the best way to nurture and take care of our divine being.
As Amy Natalie, a feminine embodiment coach, perfectly explains it’s so important to navigate your emotions by “learning how to ride the waves of your emotions, from an empowered place, instead of letting them simply crash over you.”
