What is Feminine Power? The Most Underused Power That Can Transform Your Life in an Instant

Feminine Pulse

What is the most underused form of power that can absolutely transform your life in an instant?

Feminine Power

Feminine power is the most powerful form of energy there is. It can be shocking to consider that. We're seeing now a lot of discussion about the feminine, the rise of the feminine, feminine energy, the yin, and a lot of people still have no idea what that even means.

Many women are still in the dark about how powerful they are (from a feminine power perspective). They've been mistaught that feminine means weak. And it is the opposite of weak. In fact, your feminine energy is the most powerful form of energy out there and you have access to it. Women have lost their connection to it… not consciously, but unconsciously.

Culture Has Preconditioned the Masculine as a Priority and Diminished Feminine Energy

There is also that element of preconditioning that we got from society, from our culture, from religion, from social media, and from everything like our upbringing. Women didn't have that awareness of this significant resource due to societal expectations to act a certain way because that's what success looks like, and this is what we’re expected to do. Thus, we do not take time to recognize our emotions and instead put them down and show a strong front and go into battle hustling and working and doing. We’ve been taught that doing and doing is the definition of success in our society and your family will be proud of you and how you can make a name for yourself. This is a paradigm based solely on masculine energy.

But in this podcast we’re switching up the conversation and conditioning with this beautiful question. We are learning and uncovering that feminine essence that is within all of us and can be brought forth to heal, transform and create more joy in our world!

Yes, the feminine is in with all of us. Since we just described the masculine paradigm most of us are used to, let’s describe what a feminine paradigm might include. The masculine’s very linear structure gives us that strength and focus to get things done and the feminine can work in alignment with that when appreciated for its wisdom and power.

What is Feminine Energy?

We’re not talking about what might be considered feminist or femininity. Rather pure feminine energy is it's elusive, it's abstract. It's, it's not weak. It's non-linear. It is similar to fire which can transform things. Fire can turn solid into liquid. It can provide light where there is darkness. And tapping into our feminine essence is similar. We underutilize this energy and minimize exploring it. We rarely acknowledge it as positive. Yet, we have access to this magnetic energy at any given moment. It's one way we can tap into our heart center within and use that energy to bring more joy into our life and others lives and enrich them.

Bringing the Feminine to the Corporate World Works

Though this may sound fluffy, in the corporate world the one person my colleagues talked the most positively about that was a woman who brought this soft, generous, positive light into the space. I watched the men listen to her, offer her promotion, and left feeling better because of the interaction with her. She was such a fresh breath of fresh air that allowed her to shine in the corporate world.

Not every woman knows how to leverage her feminine power in the corporate world, but through this podcast you’ll discover more hidden powers you have to enliven the communities you participate in for the better.

When you see a woman fully in her feminine power, you feel it. And like one of my favorite coaches says, “What you don't see, you cannot be.” That is why this type of conversation is really important - allowing and giving permission for women to give themselves the invitation to tap more into this feminine energy that we all have no matter our gender, no matter who we are. Like, we all have masculine energy, feminine energy in us. It's the yin and yang duality that we have in the world. There's day and night, there is dark and light, and there's feminine and masculine. We just been preconditioned to overuse our masculine, to the detriment of our feminine thinking that it was weak. However, both forces matter. But it's like everything, if you imbalance anything, it's not good for you.

Playing a Role vs Being in Your Authentic Feminine Power

It's about finding that balance and harmony within yourself. Some women call it feminine power because when we act a certain way only to find out that is not our own feminine essence. Instead, we ended up completely misaligned with who we are because we were only playing a role. However, the moment that you align yourself with your true essence, which is your authentic feminine, that's when your power shows up. The corporate example just shared relayed how graceful feminine power is. This may be a new awareness as our gracefulness can be very powerful. We don't need to create conflict in order to be right. We don't need to stand up and shout for to take our place. So there's this beautiful art in expressing this part of ourselves. Like a beautiful flow, a beautiful cycle that includes inner discovery of ourselves and being able, to go from inside to outside instead of outside to inside (like we do with the masculine, with the validation and the structure and the goals). The feminine journey becomes a very interesting inner discovery of a new form of power for many of us.

How The Feminine and Masculine Harmonize

We have these two energies. They can work together and dance together too, like partners. When you go within and you tap into that intuition, to that heart center, to the nurturing, to what is an alignment, and then you inform your masculine side about that, the masculine can take it into action. Then there is a perfect alignment that becomes a magnificent dance. And sometimes you need to just step back and slow down. Slow down enough to hear that inner wisdom invites you to take care of yourself and garner that energy to shine in the world.

Men write songs about the feminine like “You Light Up My Life” and “You Are My Sunshine.” Men often will say, “When she walks into a room, she just lights it up.” Men know how powerful women in their feminine are and the men who are in their healthy, masculine, adore this, they know it fuels them. They know that's the place where they can come get light. And that's how powerful we are. In our feminine women have so much power, that with just one look at a man, one of those disapproving looks, we can shrink his ego to nothing, and they know that too. So we have to be responsible for this great power at the same time.

How to Connect with Your Feminine Essence

The main difference between the masculine and feminine is that when we are in our masculine, we are in a mode of doing. When we are in our feminine, we are being. In our culture embracing the feminine, it’s about learning to slow down. It's learning to surrender. It's learning to witness our emotions and befriend them and be okay with them. It's connecting to our intuition. It's connecting to our body's wisdom because no emotion is negative or positive. It's natural. It's just a wave. With the feminine, I always think about water and wave. With the masculine, I see fire, but I love how you said that the feminine can be fire. The beauty here is that we can all interpret what feminine and masculine mean to us and the images we want to connect them to. Understanding ourselves and accepting others is where the real true power of each one of us lies.

Ponder this…

This is a great place to pose a question to ponder: How would you describe your feminine power? Yes. For yourself. Know that it may evolve and you're not locked into any single answer. Nonetheless, where are you today with it? And what's possible in the future as you explore feminine power?

This is something to rest into. There are no right answers with the feminine. It's not a right or wrong world. It's a heart-centered place to be. It's living from our heart and living from that heart intelligence and our letting our emotions inform us, not react us or make us react. Instead, notice, and ask yourself some questions like:

• I'm having a reaction. What does my heart really want? What does my heart really need?
• What is my heart really saying?
• What's underneath all that reactionary stuff, you know?

This is a deeper, richer place to live from that can enhance your world. Your sense of peace. Your self-esteem, and the world at large. Because as you grow into that power, you can amplify its effect out in the world.

Furthermore, sprinkle some creativity and imagination into it. If you want to be in your full, in your feminine, ask yourself some creative questions that bring in all your senses including: What shape is this? What is its color? And, you can do the same with the masculine energy too, within you. We’re mostly focusing on the feminine to uncover and activate that power that's already within you. Add some imagination to your process and ask yourself about the shape and color. Get more creative and ask, If it is a movement or dance, what does it look like? If it was nature, an element of nature, what is it like? Just go and play with it. What

You're invited to journey within and discover who you are within yourself. We promise you’ll get to that beautiful energy of the yin. It's your life force. Bon voyage into your feminine.
