Signs You’re a Woman Being Called to Restore Your Femininity

 
 

The hyper-masculinised focus of our world has taught us that it is safer and ‘more productive’ to override our hearts and protect our feminine natures with masculine shields.

Yet if you are a feminine-essenced woman who has been conditioned to live within the constraints of masculine success, you have likely felt the heavy tendrils of feminine longing.

For the women drawn to my writings, some common feelings arise that lead them onto the path of restoring their feminine nature and softening into a life that feels more fulfilling to their soul:

A tugging at your heart, telling you that there’s a different way to live and be.

A feeling of exhaustion from being at the whim of the striving, grinding culture that has become so normal in the world

A desire for deep fulfilment, purpose and love- without having to compromise your integrity and heart

Feeling disillusioned with healing modalities, personal development tools and spirituality that subtly fall into the same old striving paradigm (aka you need to be more/do more/reach a certain level, before you’re enough) 

Becoming overwhelmed with putting so much pressure on yourself to figure everything out

Feeling mentally burnt out from over intellectualising your feelings and emotions, and seeking new ways to overcome your perceived deficits.

A longing to be deeply loved and seen, without having to perform, earn your worth, over give and over work

A craving for deeper intimacy, belonging and emotional connection in relationships (and perhaps even in your connection with God)

A yearning to be supported, valued and truly loved, for being your natural self.


If this is you, you’re not alone.


So many women are craving this. Yet our culture is one where so many of the attributes that are vital to the feminine nature are seen as not enough. Relationship, receptivity, surrender, ease, beauty, rest. We are not taught to cultivate and value these as necessary. They are add ons. The things we can have AFTER we’ve done the work and achieved the things. Or, they’re things that need to be ‘done’ in order to be more productive or seem more externally pleasing.

Which means that our subconscious develops deep beliefs around always needing to strive. To be more.

To be different…better…more worthy in the eyes of the world. 

To reject the feminine and spiritual essence at our core.

All of this leads women into feelings of self-doubt, inner tension and loneliness.

A deep (yet often unconscious) sense of abandoning what is true and natural, to please the outside world.

An emptiness that can’t be fulfilled by jobs, partners, possessions, achievements, children… 

The heart becomes inadvertently hardened to protect against the grief of not feeling allowed to rest in your feminine essence.

And THIS, is the core of why we so deeply crave feminine healing.

 Because when the heart is closed, this blocks off so much.

Love, freedom, radiance, ease, possibility.

Connection to truth, beauty, spiritual essence.

A heart tangled in the grief of not feeling truly received, makes it feel so hard to soften into true love and purpose that goes beyond external circumstances.

And relying only on healing modalities that attempt to “fix” you (like many conventional healing and spiritual modalities do) will always fall short, because they inadvertently perpetuate the rejection of your feminine essence.

Which is why the nature of feminine healing instead supports you to tenderly dissolve the beliefs that have convinced you that your feminine being is not enough.

To renew your relationship with yourself, as you are, without needing to strive to be some-one different.

To untangle the tensions around your heart that are holding you apart from being naturally you.

And to honour, value and live from the essence of your natural self.
