Lately, I’ve been on a mission to explore my divine femininity. Beginning to understand every inch of my femininity is leading to an enriched view of myself and my life. I’m realizing more and more that not tapping into femininity is a great disservice. And life is too short for all that. My last post was about the dark side of our divine femininity, and now I’m continuing to light feminine energy.

As a quick summary from my last post, our divine feminine is nuanced and powerful, and works as two harmonious opposites. Like the concept of yin and yang, the dark feminine and light feminine come together to create the divine femininity that is inside all women. They are both valuable sides of us that deserved to be celebrated. 

Light Feminine Energy

Whereas the dark feminine is about pleasure and power, the light feminine is about peace and grace. These are the attributes in women that are celebrated (read: required) in our patriarchal society, so this is the side we’re usually most familiar with. But don’t let the toxic-ness of the patriarchy fool you think this side represents weakness or meekness. The light energy is strong and dynamic.

LIGHT FEMININE TRAITS

PURPOSE. NURTURING. SENSUALITY. GENTLENESS. WARMTH. PEACEFULNESS. SLOWNESS. COMPASSION. RECEPETIVENESS.

Being kind and open to people from different walks of life allows us to live an interesting life. Tapping into the light feminine for the emotional energy to forgive is an essential step to living a balanced life. Noticing what is truly important to us and nurturing the relationships that value us creates a peaceful space. And most importantly, being gentle (especially towards ourselves) allows us to learn from our mistakes and avoid harboring anger and resentment.

Rather than rejecting light femininity as too traditional, I am being purposeful about my light femininity. Meditation is helping me to let go of negative emotions and allow more space for compassion. I’m also slowing down- like taking time to fix myself an unrushed cup of tea- so that I have time to check in with myself and recognize imbalance. I revel in the softness of myself as I celebrate being a woman.

The light feminine illuminates and balances the dark feminine as we strive to develop our personal and professional goals. The intoxicating mix of the two allows us to take advantage of ourselves with purpose and poise, and be the most successful version of ourselves that we can be. 

The key to a healthy divine feminine is to harness it in empowered ways. Dive into the breakdown of best femininity practices with me next time. If you want to explore your light feminine side in a boudoir shoot, let’s chat!
