What is the sacred feminine?

For some time now, the “sacred feminine” has been on everyone's lips. But what are we talking about exactly? An idea that evokes the power of women and more broadly this feminine energy capable of propelling us to the top. Our explanations and our advice to adopt this spiritual way of life.

"Awaken your sacred feminine", "Reconnect with your sacred feminine" … At this moment, the sacred feminine is everywhere and the subject of numerous articles. But not easy to understand exactly what it comes out of it. To be efficient and accessible, and to offer a definition, let's say the sacred feminine, "The Sacred Feminine " in English, is a resource that we have within us, and which invites us to connect to our feminine essence. It is, in other words, to reconnect with her feminine strength, her feminine energy, the original woman.
Concretely, in everyday life, the sacred feminine comes down to operating a transformation in oneself to become freer. The sacred feminine proposes to listen to her body, her intuition, her heart, to regain all of her power and to fulfill herself. This is neither a new personal development “trick” or a feminist trend, but rather a spiritual way of life, an initiatory path that flirts with a divine dimension and encourages one to become self-evident. even.

Men too can awaken their sacred feminine, since each individual, regardless of gender, sexual orientation and sexuality, is animated by feminine energy (yin) and masculine energy (yang). One represents intuition, sensitivity, creativity; the other, heat, strength, action.

Let's go into the details and discover how to awaken your sacred feminine to feel more whole, happy and appeased, but above all to go “to the end of oneself”, of his desires and his dreams.

To connect to your sacred feminine, let's start by disconnecting

The sacred feminine is there. It is this strength and this power that women carry within them. But in our modern society, we are losing some of our magic. This feminine magic is not only altered by the ultra-connected world in which we live, but also by the number of injunctions and diktats that surround us, and which we constantly confront on social networks.
Now, the sacred feminine is synonymous with freedom. It invites you to meet yourself, to listen to yourself, to deploy your strengths. But how do we go about it when we spend hours on the Internet? When do we sometimes play a role, integrated from childhood? When the gaze of others weighs on us? When we feel obliged to take care of our appearance in order to please, to seduce?

To awaken its sacred feminine, resonate with our energies, let's start by detaching ourselves from Instagram, by revisiting our beliefs and by thinking of us, just us. We ask ourselves, always: what do I want? What do I aspire to? What is my personal definition of femininity?

Let's learn loneliness

The sacred feminine develops in solitude. A scary word, a scary situation. Only, solitude, when it is chosen, is a resource in its own right, a magnificent field useful for the awakening of the sacred feminine. Why not dare to retire, even for a few days, even not far from home?
The idea is quite simply to leave this crazy world, life (and the city) at a hundred miles an hour, to find his own rhythm, to break away from norms and obligations, to sleep well and commune with nature, the earth, the trees. This desired isolation could not be more regenerating, it offers us the opportunity to dive into ourselves, to understand ourselves better, to know better what is good for us (or not), to find a place in ourselves. It’s also a way to remember that no one knows about us. That we are the best person to advise, guide and accomplish ourselves. We have the energy to do this, far from the multiple opinions of our loved ones.

Listen to our cycle, listen to the moon

Awakening your sacred feminine also goes through the body. This body that we listen to and love. This body which bleeds every month or which is menopausal, this woman's body and not just a mother's. This body that we tend to take in the flu for a yes or a no, even though it is a source of energy, of power! To reconnect with our body, let's connect to the Moon, who embodies feminine power.
If we experience, for example, sleeping under the stars (or already no longer closing our shutters), our menstrual cycle will smoothly align with the Moon cycle, and we will feel more in tune with our body, its rhythm, its emotions.

The New Moon, the time that marks the start of a new 28-day cycle, is a great time to take stock and take time for yourself. Now is the time for renewal, which you can mark in your calendar. Every 28 days, take care of yourself on the New Moon and make plans. When the Moon decreases, on the contrary, clean, wash, sort. Now is the time to turn the page for a facelift when it comes to restarting a cycle.

Let us trust our intuition

The sacred feminine appeals to intuition and this intuition passes through the body. On a daily basis, we can relate to our intuition by listening to what our mind dictates to us through our body. In the face of such and such a situation, such and such a decision to be made, does my body tremble, tense, shine, open? What is he expressing?
Our body "knows", he knows what makes sense to us. Connecting to your intuition sometimes requires breaking with reason, which always disrupts our most raw, wild, spontaneous bodily sensations. Once again, it is therefore good to listen to your body, to develop a relationship of care with it, walking through nature, seeking calm, zapping the hectic world. The best messages of our intuition arise when we do not expect them, during a walk, a shower, an intimate moment between oneself and oneself, and are born from our five senses, our perceptions, our history too.

Open our hearts to synchronicities

Every day we see synchronicities, which we are not always aware of. These are signs of life. Apparently, we believe in chance. In fact, we are getting a message.
By awakening your sacred feminine and living deep within, taking into account your intuition and opening up to life and the surroundings (rather than walking while tapping on your phone), we discover directions to take.
What if this song that is playing on the radio now, in connection with my current thinking, pushed me on a specific path? What if this sentence, these words, heard instantly, were an answer? The proof of a door to open, the momentum I lacked to go further, to realize a dream, big or small?

Stimulate our creative energy

To awaken its sacred feminine, let's dare to create! We have the potential and the power to create, to put our feminine energy at the service of our art … which itself will give it back to us and will continue to do so. stimulate our power as women. Creating involves a lot of activities. We write, we paint, we dance …
We leave our mind, our incessant, redundant thoughts, to let our body and our intuition express itself, precisely. We start almost automatically.
For that, let's cut our phone, the television, let's calm down, breathe deeply, get closer to our emotions and let out what needs to come out. In turn, this creative energy nourishes our sexual energy, our relational energy, our love for ourselves, our self-confidence… It is a diffuse power.

Let's dare the sacred rituals

Talking about the sacred feminine cannot be done without talking about "witchcraft". Are we all witches ? In the true sense of the word, yes, so long as you forget the image of the witch, conveyed by children's stories. The witch is not a woman with a broom and a hooked nose. She is a free woman, who listens to his intuition, acts according to his convictions, his desires.
To develop your witch's soul, you can attach yourself to many rituals and create your witch's "universe" with a grimoire – a book in which you write your rituals, appropriate accessories (candles, pentacle, wand …). The important thing is to find a place for it.
Rituals are none other than moments for oneself, during which we connect to our sacred feminine. We can, through certain rituals, exercise all our magic to awaken the goddess who lies dormant in us. Some invite you to boost self-confidence, to flourish in your sexuality, in love or in your mother's life … Many rituals are also intended for healing.
It is possible to register for "women's circles" in France (or "Sacred Feminine Circles ") and workshops, which aim to connect women to their divine and deep essence.

The sacred feminine also passes through the group

The loneliness that awakening the sacred feminine may require does not exclude the community spirit. As witches, as free women, we can come together. Some women thus share their power around rituals. But far from us are the images of women dancing around a campfire, chanting spells! Se bring together trusted women, when you choose it, it is quite simply to have real intimate moments. Moments imbued with confidences, secrets. Moments during which women connect and bring together their strengths and energies, during which each finds a place to express herself. These moments go perfectly with the lonely moments, the main thing being always to listen to yourself and act according to yourself, and to go towards "meetings" of women who do good, without judgment.

And the sacred masculine?

Because two forces coexist in us, because our inner balance is forged in yin and yang, the Moon and the Sun, intuition and action, we can develop our sacred masculine in addition to our sacred feminine, because it is there, too, in us, and it does not matter whether we are a man or a woman! Our sacred masculine, far from any notion of performance or competition, invites us to gather our energy and take action. On the one hand, emotions guide us, on the other, the male impulse drives us to realize ourselves. The sacred masculine and feminine are complementary, work together… and help us to become ourselves.
