For the woman who has been conditioned to live through hyper-masculinised values, there is often a deep longing to come back to the natural energy of her feminine being. A state of being where she feels worthy, supported and safe in her true essence. Not forcing and pushing herself to produce, achieve and constantly grow in very linear ways, but instead finding peace and radiance in coming back to the desires of her feminine heart. Resting in the knowledge that she is allowed to exist freely from the truth of her feminine soul. Finding joy in the flow of life that moves organically through her from this space of softened surrender and natural unfolding.
From here, she begins to experience life through the feminine ground of her own being.
A life where she no longer exhausts herself in her constant evaluation and judgement of who she is supposed to be in relation to the masculine standards, values and perceptions that have been historically enforced around her.
A life where she feels safe to embrace a way of being, creating and living that honours the feminine, creative and spiritual essence that is vital to her being, yet is so often pushed aside in an urgent, masculinised over-culture.
A life where there is no more forcing herself to heal and grow, but instead, a gentle tending to the feminine values and soft radiance she wishes to reclaim in herself and in the world, as she blooms naturally from the inner riches of her feminine soul.
