4 WAYS TO NURTURE YOUR FEMININITY AND FIND BALANCE

Everything in life needs balance. The yin and the yang. The sun and the moon. The masculine and the feminine. Balance is hard but necessary. As women especially, it seems to be challenging to succumb to the world of hustle and building a business but also retaining the divinity of the feminine.

In a world where we are constantly doing, giving and building for the future, we have to remember that stillness, receiving and simply being are just as necessary for evolving and living a beautiful, fulfilling life.

Here are four ways to cultivate femininity and bring balance to your day.

1. Receiving a massage:

As a Massage Practitioner, I have found that the mind-body-soul connection is so strong. Not only is massage great for your body and can not only relax and heal the muscles, but it can help move energy where it needs to go for ultimate healing. The act of receiving is also very feminine and seems to lack in a lot of women I talked to. We seem to give, give, give and forget to nourish ourselves. Get back to that. Schedule some you time.

2. Get in the water:

The water is a very feminine element. Going for a swim can be so transformative and rejuvenating. Water is known to cleanse the body, but it cleanses deep within to the cellular level. Make an offering and a prayer to mama Gaia and the water and step on in. See what the water delivers to you in return. Stick to natural springs, lakes ad oceans and less on chlorinated water.

3. Sing and move your body:

My favorite exercise these days is to chakra dance. It opens up my femininity and sexuality. It helps me feel alive and free. I move certain body parts to open and balance the chakras correlated to those areas. Dance while no one is watching or while everyone is watching, who cares! Yoga, Barre and Pilates are also great ways to move your body.

When I am alone in the car and feel like I want to punch someone in the face, putting on a sick play list and belting out a few songs never hurt anyone either.

4. Time blocking:

Time Blocking may sound more like a masculine quality to get stuff done but hear me out. Time blocking allows us to keep to a schedule so that we can get the things we need to get done in a more organized way. This allows us to shut off our minds. It also allows us more time for self care, family, our kids and all of our favorite activities which in turns keeps us in balance.

Easier said than done right? Well if you put what you want in your life into focus and make priorities for these things, they become second nature. Soon, you will find that you have less time for things that do not matter and more time for living a life that you have dreamed of.

This is your life. Live it for you. Be kind. To others but also to yourself.
