Explore symbols in nature that reflect your divinity, the gifts of being a woman.

Have you ever considered the idea that God is both a divine masculine energy and a divine feminine energy? The concept of God as an expression of both the divine feminine and the divine masculine is not a new one, but it has been overlooked or brought to extremes to make up for times in history when inequality prevailed.

Women have a unique connection to God’s all-encompassing divine love.

Symbols of the Divine Feminine:

The female body itself is a miracle. With the ability to be a space of conception, the nurturer, and a bridge between heaven and earth, inhabiting a vehicle of such is an honor. In many ways, a symbol of God’s creation.

This invites us to reflect on the profound power and wisdom that emanates from the feminine essence as an honor and a responsibility.

As we explore the different archetypes through time, we can begin to understand the importance of cultivating an intentional relationship with our ability to create, as well as the opposite: to destroy.

The Hindu goddess Kali, for instance, represents the transformative power of destruction as a necessary part of creation. By embracing this symbol, we recognize that destruction can be a potent tool for releasing old patterns and making space for the new.

In contrast, the lotus flower, a symbol of purity and enlightenment, invites us to cultivate the intentional creation of beauty and growth in our lives. By understanding intentional creation and destruction, we embrace the full divine feminine spectrum and harness its power for personal and collective growth.

Our relationship with the Divine Feminine:

One way we can look into how we are relating to the divine within is to take a look at how we view our menstrual cycle.

Do we have difficult stories about growing into our hips or chest, or do we relate to our God-given vehicle in reverence for the masterpiece that it is?

Do we see having a monthly period as a burden or inconvenience? How could this burden shape our ability to fully receive life and the nature of cyclical wisdom?

As the energy in our body circulates and creates space for a child- that same energy that is constantly recreating itself is a metaphor for our ability to innovate and birth new ideas.

Relating to the Divine Feminine in others:

If God is all-loving and forgiving, why do we sometimes feel or perceive competition amongst other women? When our biology gives us instincts to protect ourselves instead of trust, it can lead to feelings of being territorial and competitive. This can leave us separated from one another, which can create false fears that it is not safe to be in a relationship.

Create a powerful bond with The Divine, and The Divine within each other:

  • Notice: Notice and acknowledge that judgment of others can come from insecurity or inner wounds.
  • Allow: allow yourself to receive messages from your insecurities, wounds, or feelings in ways that you may not have in the past. Grant yourself the power of the present moment to allow anything and everything to come up. Know that it will shift and change the more you allow for everything to be the way it is. Allowing for differences can help dissipate any feelings of inadequacy, comparison, and more feelings of support for both parties.
  • Receive: Whether it’s receiving difficult feelings, noticing your differences, or acknowledging the wounds that are coming up, let your receiving mode be an opportunity to invite more into your life. Sometimes the power of another woman can be intimidating. But who doesn’t want strong assets around them? Fear. Fear keeps us small and creates separation. Divine love, on the other hand, works to strengthen the whole. This is when receiving is giving and giving is receiving. Everyone wins, and others’ strengths serve as empowerment for everyone.

So try it on, what does it feel like to be fully in your Divine Feminine?

  • Do you feel a nudge to celebrate another’s success as an opportunity for more?
  • Can you recognize that another woman’s beauty or talent adds value to your life?
  • What about being kind and compassionate towards yourself and others when you feel feelings of distrust?
  • Challenge our own limiting beliefs and biases, without needing to change them or feel wrong for feeling the way you feel.
  • Create safety for yourself to feel open and honest if you need to communicate.

When strong women come together, it is like a symphony. Each with her voice and instrument, adding to the richness and depth of the collective sound. Just as each musician in an orchestra has a specific role to play in creating a cohesive piece of music, each woman brings her strengths, talents, and experiences to the group dynamic. When these individual elements harmonize and blend, the result is a beautiful and powerful composition that is greater than the sum of its parts.

When you get to a place where you can receive the strength from another woman as a contribution to more love, fulfillment, leadership, and inspiration, you can begin to expand into more of your collective purpose.

✨Happy Creation
