Evolving Feminine Power
Our feminine power is always evolving. And, I believe feminine power is the key to living our hearts’ desires and dreams as well as creating positive change for our world. What “Feminine Power” is and how it influences us has drastically transformed as the more traditional societal roles that women have been expected to fit into — and have embodied for centuries — have changed in recent years.
We don’t have many models of “true feminine power” the beautiful dance of feminine and masculine energy within us. We can see and feel how feminine power is evolving. It doesn’t matter if you are a young women or a woman with wisdom from living more than a few decades on the planet. What is important is recognizing that now, is a crucial time to light your way even more resolutely with your own unique embodiment of “Feminine Power”.
In my opinion, Feminine Power is about our own personal empowerment; our ability to fully remember and be our unique, divine self. It is about being who we are without apology. It’s about sharing our gifts, making choices and living in a way that supports us as well as those we are closely connected to and care about.
I believe Feminine Power is about holding ourselves in high regard and knowing ourselves without shame in every area of our life. It’s about trusting our inner strength, our own creativity, and our ability to see the bigger picture. It’s about truly trusting our intuition, our wiser self, our hunches and listening to those subtle whispers. It’s living with integrity while making decisions for our self, our family and our life. It’s our ability to be collaborative without comparing ourselves to others or losing ourselves in the collaborative process. It’s opening our hearts to ourselves and letting go of the past — whatever that is or was. It’s about honoring our physical body, despite our weight, energy level, abilities, shape, the color of our hair or our skin tones.
Feminine Power is the harmony of tapping into the feminine inner world, of looking inside, asking questions, opening to all possibilities, and listening to our hearts and dreams. And from that place tapping seamlessly into the masculine energy of fearlessly taking inspired action steps. It’s standing up for ourselves, easily moving forward from the guidance within, and taking initiative even when we’re afraid. It’s about holding our boundaries while respecting others’ boundaries… yet being open to change.
It is definitely about listening to our bodies and taking the steps to nurture ourselves first and then taking care of our families. It’s offering a helping hand with deep commitment, yet being detached from the outcome. It’s about refusing to enable others by taking responsibility that isn’t ours with our children, family, friends or co-workers.
It’s holding ourselves in the highest esteem with love and knowing we are powerful creators. Our Feminine Power is fueled by the essence of who we truly are as women; the harmony of the dance, the inner with the outer, the inspiration and the manifestation, all mingled with the unique grace and beauty of expression by each individual. I believe it is the essence of each of us, a radiant inner light beaming out into our world.
Furthermore, I don’t believe Feminine Power is restricted to women alone, as women and men are inherently a blend of both masculine and feminine energies. When we as women step fully into our “Solar” Feminine Power as we trust our selves, feel confident and assertive, men are then able to open their hearts and step into their “Lunar” Masculine selves (in touch with emotions) honoring their softer, introspective side and their ability to see more options.
This year in particular seems to be a time that our Feminine Power is being called forth for us to live in a more empowered way. We are each (both men and women) being summoned by our Souls to be who we truly are at our core. As we live from our core essences so do we create more peace in our lives, in our homes and have happier families. As we confidently respect ourselves and have respect for each other despite our varying opinions and differences, we change our world allowing collaboration in our world making it a healthier place to live. This true harmony breeds more unconditional love and compassion for ourselves, every one and every thing else.
As we flow between masculine and feminine energies, we bring grace into our own lives and the lives of those on the planet… now and in the future.

In the Parade section of today’s, March 9th, Sunday paper, the cover story was “3 Influential Women One Powerful Message.What Condoleezza Rice, Sheryl Sandberg and Girl Scouts CEO Anna Maria Chavez want girls everywhere to know. ”
This is the one year anniversary of the Facebook COO Sanberg’s best-selling book Lean In, which has birthed “in every state, 50 countries, women gathering more than 14,000 to Lean In Circles whey they support one another as they aim higher in their careers. A shift from the history of women competing against one another in business. In this article all three women talk about encouraging feminine leadership in girls from parents and teachers to managers, society and everyone. I believe we are looking at the changing roles of both men and women and how we view leadership. I love this quote from Anna Maria Chavez “When we are talking about investing in girls, we’re not saying to divest from boys. It’s about ensuring that we have every capable person prepared to lead. This country has some serious problems. We need every braincell around our decision-making table.” I believe we as women have to step into our own feminine power to lead in a way that encourages both our girls and boys to lead in a way that serves the whole.
