Honouring women and the feminine
The female body is miraculous. It holds the portal between realms that allows the birth of new life into this world. It holds the vessel that feeds this new life, allowing it to grow from the nourishment that is poured from the mother into the child. Oh what a gift it is to be a woman. To be the bringer of new life. To hold within you the past and the future. To have a deep connection to the Earth and to the land we live on. Having the capacity to be open and receptive to the whispers and guidance of those who came before us, our elders, and our spirit guides.
Yet as women we have been through so much pain and injustice. We have been controlled, shamed, misunderstood, overly sexualized, disempowered, and forgotten. And this trauma that’s living inside each and every single one of us is weighing us down. because through living with this pain, we have begun to internalize the beliefs pushed into us by the unhealed society. We have gone from fighting it, to accepting it as truth, and now I am here to bring back the fight. Because we all deserve to live in a society that respects and honours the feminine’s presence.
Without the feminine the world would fall into darkness. The feminine is what allows us to be AND stay connected to the divine. It is what allows us to feel and hear the unseen and what is out of this realm. The feminine is what nourishes, brings life, and creates the future. To dishonour her, would mean to allow for faith and hope to die out. Because what is life without faith? What is life without connection? What is life without play? What is life without nurturing ? a dark life indeed.
Today I am lighting a path of love towards the feminine. And I want to show you how to honour her in your day to day life so we can cultivate a more harmonious life for ALL.
Since the number 3 is the number of harmony, creativity and wisdom I will be giving you 3 ways you can honour the feminine. And by the way, whether you identify as man, a woman, or other we all have feminine ENERGY within us. So don’t think this doesn’t apply to you too. Because it does. And it will be a huge step towards your own healing as well.
Connect with nature and BE RESPECTFUL. Taking the time to go out and greet the spirits that have lived this earth way before we came here will strengthen your connection to the original mother. Finding ways to honour her will change the way you treat the feminine in yourself and outside of you. This can look like meditation in nature, hiking, dancing and ritual in nature, volunteering to help conserve nature, investing in conservation, investing in sustainable products, and learning about ways to support the environment.
Show up to support women’s movements. Use your precious time and energy to shed light on the injustices women face in their lives and take concrete actions that align with honouring and respecting the feminine. So go out and protest, stand up for your colleagues, speak out in the face of injustice.
Learn to sit with your emotions and allow them to move through your body without a fight. The feminine is the heart expression of our soul. So make sure you take the time to check in with your heart and your body on where you are at and take steps to help heal, align, and express whatever needs to be expressed. And don’t forget to practice these same skills with the women in your life by making sure you’re holding a safe container for the feminine to express authentically.
These are simple ways that you can begin to honour the feminine today. And trust me these are life changing since they are ways that resensitize you to the world you’re living in and will help invite ease and harmony into your life!
And remember you don’t have to do everything all at once and you don’t have to do it all perfectly. What matters is your intention to reharmonize the energies and you showing up the best way you can to fulfil this calling.
So happy healing. And may the feminine rise again.
