This blog discusses how to activate your feminine energy and why it is so important for us to embrace it as women. Understanding your feminine energy is going to help you understand yourself in a deeper way and It will help you in your relationships. You will find yourself more magnetic and attractive to other people once you have embraced your feminine energy.
Every one of us has both feminine and masculine energy inside of us. These two energies are polar opposites, but also complement each other perfectly. Neither is better or stronger than the other. They are counterparts of each other. Everything in nature seeks balance.
One of these energies is more dominant than the other in most people. Generally, females have more feminine energy and males have more masculine energy. Of course like any rule, there are exceptions to this.
First, let’s define some characteristics of these different energies:
Masculine Energy tends to be more focused on problem-solving, it’s analytical, competitive, action-oriented, and driven. While feminine energy is creative, inspiring, nurturing, compassionate, playful, and flowing. Masculine energy grows through challenges while feminine energy seeks praise and reassurance of love.
How do we activate our feminine energy? Here are some ways you can activate this energy and embrace your more authentic feminine self:
1. Focus on the softness inside of you.
Feminine energy is soft and flowing while masculine energy is more driven and challenging. Embrace that softness and let it flow out of you. The more softness flows from you the more you will become magnetic to those with masculine energy.
Think kindness, caring, compassion, gentleness, and self-control. These emotions have a higher vibration than lower emotions like anger. The higher the vibration of the emotion the more magnetic you are. And who doesn’t want to be more magnetic?
Feminine women are kind to everyone. They are open, warm, and welcoming. Kindness and compassion are central to feminity and will help you connect with the feminine essence inside of you.
2. Spend time with people and things that raise your vibration
Just like focusing on our softer emotions can raise our vibrations, spending time with people who are positive and display these qualities can also help. For example, finding a woman who embodies the qualities we are seeking to nurture, and spending time with her, can help you embrace your own feminine energy. Follow women on social media who align with your higher version of yourself. Listen to podcasts or read books that help you nurture your higher vibrations emotions such as gratitude, appreciation, peace, joy, and love.
Spending time outside in nature is also a way to raise your vibration. It is hard to be in nature and not appreciate the bounty of the earth. Being in nature has been proven to lower stress and anxiety levels. All around us we see life nurturing life. This leads easily to our next way to activate your feminine energy….
3. Activate your feminine energy with flow
Flow is when you are actively involved in an activity of movement where you are completely focused on that movement and nothing else. I’m sure things like dance and yoga come to mind for you. Those are certainly the two things I thought of when learning about this concept. But it really is any activity you are moving through and are totally engrossed in. Certainly, both dance and yoga are great choices for this. But even taking a walk in nature, going for a swim, or just stretching are all great choices as well.
Making movement part of your day is the key thing. I went cave exploring once in NH with my husband and daughter and it’s one of my happiest memories because I was having so much fun, and was so engrossed in what I was doing, that I didn’t think of anything else the whole time we were there. Somehow that time, short though it was, of not thinking of anything else brought me such peace that every time I think of that memory I’m filled with peace, love, and gratitude.
As women, it can be hard to shut out all the noise, the list of things that need to be done, people we need to care for, etc, and just be present in the moment. But there is such power and peace when we are able to do that.

4. Tune in to your intuition
Learn to trust and lean into that feminine instinct inside of you that is commonly referred to as intuition. That voice guides you and lets you know when something feels right and also when it doesn’t. Many women today suppress this voice because they are so busy cultivating their masculine energy as a way to compete in their workplace and keep up with our results-oriented driven society.
Try to tune into this voice again and listen to what it’s saying. Learn to trust it and it will help connect you to your inner feminine essence.
5. Make your appearance a priority
I do not mean this in an egocentric or arrogant way. I mean we need to care for ourselves in order for the best possible version of ourselves to exist. How we look affects how we feel about ourselves, and therefore our confidence and magnetism.
Why is that appealing to others? Because there is an element of self-respect there. Someone who is well groomed and well put together is more naturally appealing to others, whether they are wearing an outfit from Walmart or a designer label.
Make an effort to look presentable at all times. Whatever your personal style is, embrace it. Make sure your wardrobe reflects it and has key pieces that work together interchangeably to make sure you always appear put together when you get dressed.
6. Feminine women set boundaries and stick to them
Feminine women set boundaries for themselves and others, and she sticks to them. Some may think that if a woman is soft and kind she must also be weak, but the opposite is actually true. It’s because she is connecting to her feminine energy and is confident in herself that a woman can be kind to those around her. NOT because she is weak or a pushover.
When you truly love and respect yourself as you should you do not let anyone treat you badly. Because you respect yourself, you expect others to show you that respect as well.
Figure out what your boundaries are and honor them always.
7. Engage in creative activities to activate your feminine energy
As we discussed above, feminine energy is creative. Creativity comes in many forms. For you this may mean gardening, painting, sewing, baking, quilting, or any other activity that helps you tap into that creative energy inside of you. The point is that the more your practice and enjoy creative activities the more you will connect to the feminine energy inside of you.
Albert Einstein said “Creativity is intelligence having fun.
Connecting with your feminine energy is powerful. It helps you align with your truest, most authentic self. It makes you magnetic and attractive to other people and especially those with primarily masculine energy.
Embrace your softness and be open and kind to everyone. Take pride in your appearance so that it reflects the fact that you care for and respect yourself. Expect other people to respect you as well and honor your boundaries. Trust your intuition and express yourself creatively. A feminine woman is a powerful woman. She understands her value. Use the ideas above to begin activating your feminine energy and let me know the difference it makes in your life.
“When the Sacred Masculine is combined with the Sacred Feminine inside each of us, we create the ‘sacred marriage’ of compassion and passion in ourselves.” – Matthew Fox
