But what exactly is feminine energy, and what does being feminine really mean?

Importantly, these traits are not associated with gender.

Likewise, the traits associated with being “masculine” are traits we used to expect from men.

(In fact, it’s more important than ever toraise boys without gender stereotypes!)

It’s satisfying for all of us to have outlets for both our masculine and feminine energies.

This creates a feeling of being off-balance, both individually and culturally.

It’s the feminine!

If we’re always acting in anextrovertedway, it creates a schism within.

We lose touch with our deeper selves.

This can be easily modified.

All you have to do is internally connect to who you are.

An excellent way to do this is to start therapy.

The feminine is life force energy.

Places like the forest, jungle, parks, and the ocean are abundant with natural feminine energy.

Go there when you’re feeling out of sync and in need of revitalization.

Get creative

The feminine is the creative force.

Envision what you want to create.

Anything that expresses your flow is considered feminine.

We all have emotional selves, but many of us haven’t been taught how to understand our feelings.

You do this by listening to how you feel andboosting your emotional intelligence.

As you get to know your feeling states, you’ll automatically begin to feel more whole.

We’re overworked (over-masculinized), and therefore don’t often experience the spontaneous joys of life.

Too many of us wait until our next vacation to feel relaxed and playful again.

Don’t wait that long!

you’ve got the option to have mini-vacations every day.Prioritize downtimeand time for relaxation.

Read books, listen to music, doyoga, and simply enjoy the moment.

When you get out of your overworked state, you’ll feel more like yourself again.

Feminine energy is bold as wellit’s the force of transformation.

This can be dramatic!

Destruction comes before creation; we must say goodbye to the old to welcome the new.

While this process of transformation can feel unruly and scary at times, it is necessary.

After all, we’re changing all the time.

Without the powerful movement of feminine energy, both soothing and unnerving, we would remain stagnant.

And nobody wants that.

Implement these practices, and the feminine will bring you back to life.
