My journey to living my divinity has always had an element and presence of something that was steering me; something I couldn’t see, but was there, without waiver. I was raised in a modest Protestant tradition and went to church less often than my grandmother would have liked. The teachings were engaging and benevolent, but I always felt incomplete in the information that was shared. I always knew there was more. I was a sassy teenager, I know you never would have guessed that, so I asked why women were portrayed in a subservient role. Why were women not shown as having important roles in the tenets of history? I was hushed by the church elders. This is how it is. Don’t question.
As I continued throughout my path of spiritual development, I have been guided to learn and work with the Divine Feminine. This is where I found the answers to all the questions my 16–year–old self was seeking. We all have energies coursing through our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies that are both masculine and feminine, so it made sense to me that the universe should, too! I was ecstatic to see a harmonious representation of the source from which we flow.
As I have integrated more and more Divine Feminine energy and consciousness into my daily equation, I have seen tremendous shifts in my interaction with the world. All of these shifts have resulted in a better, more fulfilling experience in humanity; however, there are occasions when these shifts are uncomfortable and bring up feelings and emotions that I have been ignoring for decades. The timing is perfect, even when it isn’t comfortable. I have also seen the world show up for me differently. There was a time when all of my friendships were dramatic and superficial. I now have the privilege of knowing my friends on a level deeper than I knew myself a few years ago. The connection I share with the women of my tribe is unshakeable and deep.
Here are the 5 empowering benefits I’ve experienced working with the Divine Feminine.
1.Deeper connection to your sense of self
Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered who the worn soul looking back at you is? I have gotten a glimpse of myself and thought, that isn’t me. My reality was that I had lost track of who I was and the “me” reflected in the mirror felt like someone I met a time or two, but really didn’t know. She wasn’t one of those soul sisters.
The journey back to myself started with hearing the idea that I am a perfect and complete being. I didn’t have to believe it, right away. That is some evolved thinking that I wasn’t truly aligned with, yet. As I began to see the golden thread of my own divinity, I started recognizing parts of me that had been forgotten or left behind. With each new recognition, I began knowing and hearing myself, more fully.
2.Deeper connection to your inner wisdom
For years, especially at work, I followed someone else’s guidance and drove toward the objectives set by and for others. I didn’t stop to listen to myself, my intuition or my wisdom. I was just following along, never checking in with the most important person in my equation. There were things that I knew weren’t exactly right – like marriages and jobs. And I didn’t listen… valuable and HARD lessons resulted.
Now I tune in to my inner wisdom, brought to me by my connection with spirit, the divine and my own masculine and feminine energies. This wisdom courses through me with every decision and circumstance that I encounter. The opportunity to make decisions and choices from a place that serves me, has been a game-changer. I now feel a confidence, in the guidance I receive from my inner wisdom, knowing it is serving the true me, on a divine soul level, even if I can’t see the bigger picture.
3.More authentic and aligned communication
Communication, for me, was so often confusing and insincere; generally failing to achieve the intended result. The different styles of communicating and the process each person uses to interpret communication has so many wrinkles that misunderstanding, irritation and resentment was happening all around me and to me.
When I surrendered and allowed my divine feminine energy to steer my communication and the translation of information communicated to me, the agenda dissipated. The message is uncovered in a manner that allows me to clearly and compassionately deliver all that I need to say, or receive the entire meaning, in a manner that serves both parties. The resulting growth in my relationships has brought joy, fulfillment and happiness that I never dreamed of.
4.Deeper level of compassion for yourself and others
I have been my own worst critic. The things I have said to myself, would never come out to others. I have also been guilty of judging others and being blind to their human struggle. The reality of everyone else’s struggle was often overshadowed by my own, which was worsened by my self-judgment. What a hamster wheel!
As I allowed myself to step more fully into my Divine Feminine, I began to understand that all humans have a common experience of struggle in some capacity. While I may not know what it feels like to have the problems and challenges that others are dealing with, I have the capacity to feel compassion for them and myself. There is no longer a need to validate my own experience by judging others, or myself. I can now embrace my experience, while have compassion on a much deeper level than ever before.
5.Deeper ability to trust in what is
My faith in what was, has been marred by my ego’s desire to manipulate my perception and look for angles and nuances to serve what I thought was my purpose and what I wanted. I always have had the inclination to control a situation in order to generate the outcome I thought was best. Turns out, I don’t always know what’s best for me or others, nor is it my place to exert those levels of control over anything.
I have learned to settle in and witness things unfolding, without the attempt to affect an outcome. This has enabled me to enjoy things more fully as I am not distracted by what I perceive to be my role or responsibility in the process. I have also learned that less is definitely more when it comes to the correlation between benefit and the effort exerted to control the outcome of any given situation. In simple terms, things turn out far better when I just surrender and accept the experience, no matter what comes.
The Divine Feminine energy that I have been allowing to flow through me is always present and no matter how many times you deny it, its presence will remain absolutely available to you, just when you are ready. The harmony between masculine and feminine is always changing, it is a dance to music you can’t predict. Ever evolving, the harmony supports your highest and best interest. All you have to do is allow it.
