There's a deeply transformative power that lies within you, waiting to be unleashed. In this episode, we explore the profound depths of feminine energy and uncover how to truly connect with this innate power. I help you unravel the true essence of feminine energy and the natural resistance many feel in embracing it. Feminine energy cannot simply be learned or applied intellectually. A deep, trusting relationship with this inner force is needed. Imagine feminine energy as a wise woman within, capable of understanding and communicating with energy. We also touch on the importance of understanding which activities draw us into our heads and away from our bodies so that we can rebel against this conditioning to truly embrace and embody our innate feminine intelligence.

We'll navigate the transformative power of internal processes, emphasizing how fully experiencing emotions can lead to deeper wisdom and maturity. By embracing our feelings, we can transform our aura, increase our capacity, and emit a different frequency that connects us more profoundly with our purpose. This episode is a call to lean into feminine energy, trust it, and foster a supportive relationship with it that reinforces your journey toward fulfillment and self-realization.

Welcome to the opportunity. I'm your host, hila, and I'll be leading you through the difficult conversations that we need to have in order to feel embodied, empowered and expressed as no one other than ourselves, than ourselves. This podcast is an invitation to rise up to your soul's knowing that everything on your path is, in fact, an opportunity to embody more of yourself, to refine your frequency and to align with the vision that you've been gifted. Remember, you're not here to be anyone other than yourself, and the only way to plug into the magic that awaits you on your path is to plug into who you authentically came here to be Ready for more. Let's get into it, for more, let's get into it. Hello, my loves, this is Hila. We're going to dive right into it.

Speaker 1

This episode is all about feminine energy and how to unleash your feminine energy. We're going to dive into what is feminine energy. To dive into what is feminine energy, we're going to dive into why so many women are now seeking out knowledge about feminine energy. We're going to explore why women experience so much natural resistance towards feminine energy, like in their bodies. We're also going to explore how you can begin to unleash your feminine energy in very practical and grounded ways and explore how your feminine energy supports you on your path and knowing when you're steering away from her. So let's get right into it. The first thing that I want to mention is that I know that feminine energy is such a talked about topic online these days and I know that there are so many women seeking out this knowledge and this information because they can sense that they are disconnected from something that is so big within them and they're genuinely seeking out this knowledge. But I also understand how confusing it can get to see other women expressing their feminine energy online and the mind coming in and telling you that that's what you need to do, that's how you need to be, and then feeling that resistance in the body. The thing is that feminine energy is not information that can be absorbed intellectually and then applied.

Speaker 1

Feminine energy is something to create a relationship with. It's not something to imitate. It's something that you are being invited within you to create a relationship with, to become intimate with, to receive deeply in the most nonjudgmental way, to explore, to be curious about, to invite in even closer to experience, to trust and to surrender to. So I want you to imagine your feminine energy as a woman that's within you and she feels deeply and fully and she is a master sorceress of energy. She knows how to work with energy, she knows how to manipulate energy, she knows how to move energy and expand energy and she also understands the most important realm of this reality, which is the subtle energetic realms she not able to detect. But she requires a higher standard of relating and trust and your relationship with her is the most important relationship that you could have.

Speaker 1

When you prioritize your relationship as a woman, with your feminine energy, you thrive in ways that the human mind cannot comprehend. The thing is that the way that you will thrive is incomparable to anyone else. We know that the mind wants to compare you to others, to have someone else tell you how to do this or that, but what you are being invited and initiated into is total trust and surrender to your innate feminine intelligence, to your feminine energy, to your feminine energy. So why is that scary let's talk about why is that scary and why do so many people experience like natural internal resistance towards feminine energy?

Speaker 1

Feminine energy is unbound, unlimited, unboxed. She cannot be made logical or rational. It's creative life force energy. It's creative life force energy. It's the full spectrum of polarity of emotions, of energy. It's the dark and the light, it's the shadow and the light, it's the shadow and the integration. She is your full internal energetic experience, and the reason why she's so resisted is because we have been made to believe that we need to organize, control and box everything perfectly into comprehensible things, into pretty little categories, so that everyone else can understand it.

Speaker 1

But the truth is that we're moving into an era that is very much based on energy. And what does this look like in practical terms? Three people doing the same way, but choosing one person. Excuse me, three people doing the same thing, but one being chosen because of the frequency that they're emitting, the energy that they're emitting. And how does this energy, which is simply a projection of your internal field out into your external field, how is this lighthouse that only those that align will see and come to you for are not going to bring or cultivate that freedom, that purpose that you so deeply desire? They're not going to be a part of your desire to rise as who you naturally are, as an unbound expression of your feminine energy. So it is natural for us to experience this sorting through reality, where some things are not for you and they come to an end and some things are, and for those that only focus on the external experience can see these things as tragedies or as horribly defeating endings and failures.

Speaker 1

But those that are deeply connected with their feminine energy understand that that is the creative process of your innate feminine intelligence. It knows better than you. This is why it requires so much surrender and so much trust, and the way for it to do its thing out in your field requires you to know how to hold that container for it. So us being in our masculine is not overriding our feminine energy, or controlling and micromanaging and pushing ourselves and overriding and doing all these things right Pressuring, no, comparing like all these things that get us out of our bodies and into our heads. Notice all the things that you do that get you out of your body and into your head. Your head does not have enough availability to comprehend the unimaginable that your feminine energy can comprehend, can lead you towards, can expand out into, expand out into.

Navigating Feminine Energy Through Internal Processes

Speaker 1

So it is your duty as a woman to be discerning of all the things that lead you into your head, that increase that mental pressure and those distractions playing into those distractions and that confusion and that back and forth and that rationalization, that logical list of pros and cons, and blah, blah, blah, blah and come back to the body and the second part is processing. You are constantly navigating internal processes and they are all energetic processes. So we are either playing into blocks and making energy that is trying to move through us and reinforcing disabling stories, limiting stories, stories that water down our feminine fire, our feminine potential, our feminine magic, and tell her that she doesn't know better than what the outer world is telling us, better than what the outer world is telling us, or we are creating an internal altar for her, asking her what she needs, allowing our bodies to be the sacred vessels, the sacred containers that hold these energetic alchemizing processes that she's leading us through internally, so that we can discover our power, our potential, to see what we're capable of. And, as I mentioned before, she is expansion, but she is also destruction and chaos. So when we try to control her, she is unable to do her job. But when we hold space for her and let me tell you, learning how to hold space for your feminine energy is the most incredible thing that you can do, because that means that you are learning to be a woman that sees beyond what the mind tells you you are seeing, and that is a woman that embodies capacity, the capacity needed to live out the vision that the mind cannot yet comprehend. But in order to have that capacity, we need to be master processors and all we need to do is listen to our feminine energy is listen to our feminine energy and to hold that safe, stable space which is the masculine container. And in order to hold that space for her, so that we can move through our internal processes, that we can move through our internal processes, we need to embody and integrate the safety and stability required, the safety and stability that she needs, which means you will not hide from her, you will not run away from her, you will not avoid her, you will not try to control her, you will simply experience her. Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 1

And let me tell you, a woman who knows how to constantly process internally, she is unstoppable. She is unstoppable. She doesn't run away from feelings and she sees beyond the feeling, because she's able to feel fully and access the story, the lesson, the wisdom in the middle of that fire. She does not fear her own fire, she doesn't fear her inner chaos and she doesn't run around it or run away from it, trying to fix it and control it and act on it. No, she experiences it fully. She walks right into the fire and fully experiences it, feels it, allows that wildfire, that chaos, to simply transform her and give her the cellular wisdom that her feminine energy is transmitting to her. And from that place, she moves differently, she speaks differently, she emits a different frequency, her aura changes, her capacity increases, her voice matures. Who she is transforms in a way, not in a way where she needs to be different to succeed. No, no, no, no, no. That's little girl energy. She matures and transforms in a way where she is more grounded and stable and she can hold more of all of that feminine magic. And when she can do that, that means that she can hold more of life. So she does not run away from life, she is not reactive, because she's able to feel, because she knows that seeing holds the magic that she craves.

Speaker 1

The reason why women nowadays feel so disconnected from themselves, so disconnected from their careers and their lives and their vision or their purpose, is because they don't know how to process, and I told you that I'm going to make this as practical and grounded as possible, but you are going to experience me swaying in between, like the esoteric, you know language of energy and back into grounded, palpable, simplified verbiage. So just bear with me. Bear with me. Women feel disconnected because they don't know how to process. And processing is your gateway to your feminine energy, is your gateway to your feminine energy. The mind is constantly running away from things, constantly running away from things. So it's either you know, it's like it's playing into these attachment styles it's either avoidance attachment, where it's just going to avoid feeling, processing, walking into the fire, allowing that feminine energy to take over internally and become more intimate with her. So they're either going to avoid that by just focusing on something else, or they're going to have this anxious attachment style where they're going to remain up in their heads and try to consistently take action based on whatever breadcrumbs they're receiving from her, because they're not even letting her speak, they're not even letting her take up space, they're not even letting her do her thing.

Speaker 1

So how does the feminine energy, how does feminine energy connect to us as women, through our inner processes? So we can see feminine energy as our emotional spectrum. Our emotions are always speaking to us, but your emotions on the surface level is not the truth that your feminine energy is trying to transmit to you. The initial emotion or feeling that you feel is simply an invitation to move through an internal journey with her, with your feminine energy, and to experience her, because she speaks to you through energy, through feeling. She is feeling-based, she expresses through feeling, through energy, and so that subtle feeling or emotion that you experience initially is just an invitation to go into the journey.

Speaker 1

And what happens here is a lot of women mistake that for the action that they need to take, because they're not even aware that they're being invited internally to experience their feminine energy, and so they constantly take action on that surface level emotion, instead of diving deep and walking straight into the fire, into the core, into the oracle that is your feminine energy and understanding the true wisdom that she is trying to transmit to you. It's not easy to do that, I understand, but your feminine energy has a high standard. So you either love, accept and trust her fully, or you don't. She's always initiating you into a deeper relationship with her. It's not meant to be easy. Is it easy to have a high, to have a relationship with a woman that embodies a high standard? No, if you are a woman that feels like she embodies a high standard for what she wants in a relationship. Imagine if you made it easy for anyone to be in a relationship with you. How would that benefit you? That wouldn't, and do you have time for that? No, neither does she. But instead of coming from a demanding place, she comes from a place of knowing. She holds knowledge about your field, about your life, about your story, about your story. That would benefit you in ways that you cannot imagine, but this requires you to trust your body, to trust your ability to feel, to trust your body's ability to be the container for your inner processes.

Speaker 1

I have moved through internal processes that have literally felt like death. Sometimes these internal processes feel like death. They feel like you're going to lose everything. It is scary, it feels unstable, but your relationship with your feminine energy is the stability and the safety that you need. Your trust in her is the safety and the stability that you need. And so what is your relationship with your feminine energy, with your emotional processes?

Speaker 1

Every woman moves through internal waves every single month. We cannot walk away from it, we cannot avoid it, we cannot ignore it, and our inner processes define our outward perceptions, how we see people, how we see situations, how we see experiences, and if we are not moving fully deep into our inner processes to fully feel our feminine energy and experience the alchemizing, transformative qualities that she offers us, which actually allow us to feel more safe, more stable, more secure. Because women, we need to feel safe, stable and secure internally first. It's different for men or masculine dominant types, feminine dominant types. We need to feel internally stable, safe and secure, and the more we resist feeling, the more we resist our inner processing processes, excuse me, or becoming intimate with our processes, receiving our inner experiences fully, allowing it to take up space within our body and trusting our capacity to feel, becoming intimate with these internal experiences. Stop making them the bad guy, stop suppressing them, stop telling them to go away, stop telling them that you're tired of them. No, they're messengers that bring you wisdom, that allow you to see beyond the tangible, that allow you to see beyond the tangible, that allow you to heal your lineage, that transform the frequency that moves through your voice, that allows you to feel connected to your purpose and receptive to what life has to offer you, and receptive to what life has to offer you if you don't process your internal, energetic and emotional experiences.

Speaker 1

You become unable to receive life If you reject heavier, uncomfortable, darker emotions and processes. You reject life-giving emotions, expansive feelings. We need to learn how to receive the depth of uncomfortable internal processes just as much as receiving the height and climax of aliveness. Because if we don't, in those moments of our journey when we experience the intensity of aliveness, what will happen is that we'll be scared of it, it'll be too much for our body to handle, because we can't control it, because we know that it's leading us into the unknown.

Speaker 1

And the only thing within us that can lead us through the unknown is our feminine energy. She is a master navigator of the unknown, of the void of transitions, of death and rebirth. She thrives in the unknown because no one boxes her up there. No one tries to limit her, no one tries to tell her who she is or what she can be, no one tries to contain her in the unknown. The unknown is where feminine energy thrives. Energy thrives, but that means that you have to unleash your capacity to feel, to receive her and to have the courage to stand in the truth that she is transmitting to you.

Speaker 1

So how can you tell if you are disconnected from your feminine energy. Well, here are some bullet points that we can move through to have that discernment right. Are you connected? Are you not? Because feminine energy is not what we see women in the online space stating that this is the expression of feminine energy. Your feminine energy, like I said, is unbound, is spontaneous, unpredictable. She cannot be rationalized, and so that means that your feminine energy is going to be expressed in a completely different way than mine. Your feminine energy is simply energy within you, wanting to be experienced by you fully, so that your body can decode her transmissions and wisdom, and so that you can embody deeper receptivity and more capacity to receive life. But in receiving life, that means that you have to be available to feel more. You cannot run away from feeling, which is the thing that every human does. Humans run away from feelings. Everything that humans do is based on the feeling that they're running away from and the feeling that they're running towards. So you can tell that you're If you don't feel connected to your inner processes. If the internal processes or feelings that you feel create a sense of despair, as if you want to correct them, fix them, change them, make them different Another way to detect a disconnect from your feminine energy is by constantly being in your mind and these things that I'm stating, they're not things that you can control, they're just conditioning, right?

Speaker 1

So at no point do I want you to feel bad about this or, you know, feel like you've chosen this. This is all conditioning that can be undone, conditioning that can be undone. But the first step is awareness. So if you experience yourself constantly living in your mind a constant internal mental back and forth, constantly making lists or rationalizing or all of that Constantly making lists or rationalizing or all of that that's also a way to detect that you are disconnected from your feminine energy. Feminine energy is an observer, she's usually neutral, and then she leads you into an inner process that you then experience and within that process you extract wisdom that impacts and transforms your embodiment, your energy, your frequency, your surroundings, your relationships, your creativity, your work, your words, your reality. So it's very much disconnected from that. Let's say, mindfuckery, right, that constant mental distraction and chatter and confusion. That is conditioning and that's one of the top things that I see that really destroy our relationship with feminine energy. And if you're not aware of it and you're actually feeding that mental chatter, you're creating more distance between you and your feminine energy.

Speaker 1

So you want to create practices that support you, like mindfulness, mindfulness meditation. Like mindfulness, mindfulness meditation, and to support the first distinction that we made, where, if you feel disconnected from your inner processes, you avoid feeling. You feel despair and scared when you feel certain feelings. A good thing to practice is somatic experiencing, where you create an external, safe and secure space and you sit down and you begin to invite these feelings in and you begin to see them as friends, as messengers, and you begin to show your body that it's safe and to show the feeling that it's safe to be there, because it's just a feeling that someone one day told you was bad. There needs to be curiosity around your internal process and experience, because it is what provides you the foundation, simply the foundation, for the evolution and the purpose and fulfillment in life that you seek.

Speaker 1

External stimulus and noise and distractions won't give you that which you seek. Your fulfillment comes from being full of yourself, full of your feminine energy. So the way that you can begin to unleash your feminine energy is by allowing yourself to feel, while dropping the stories that your mind is creating based on the feelings that are arising. Your mind is creating based on the feelings that are arising, letting yourself know that you are safe to feel these feelings and while the mind is over here, telling you that your day is just destroyed, that your relationship is gone, that your career is ending, just because you're feeling, oh my god, can we or can we not say how much of a drama queen the mind is?

Speaker 1

It is constantly trying to control your magic, your energy, your energy, your capacity to receive life, because it believes that that's how you stay safe. But that is not how you stay safe. You stay safe by learning how to feel and learning how to process, because then your intuition sharpens and your discernment sharpens and you embody wisdom on a deeper level and you move past that little girl surface energy and you ground deeper into that feminine energy that has the capacity to receive and see truth, without playing into the distractions of pettiness and judgment and criticizing and just staying on the surface level drama that gets you nowhere. When you surrender and drop into the core of her fires, she simply transports you to other timelines. You leap in her presence when you receive her.

Speaker 1

She is your creative energy, she is your fiery devotion, she is your deeply evolved, embodied expression. She is the matured, stable version of you, and she's also the chaotic process of creativity, the death that is required to rearrange and expand your reality, that is required to rearrange and expand your reality, and the unknown that you're always invited into to meet yourself. Your only job is to stop avoiding her, stop controlling her, stop manipulating her, stop limiting her, stop rationalizing her and stop feeding into all the things that do this and come back to your body and lean in and listen to her, receive her when the feelings arise, when the emotional waters surface, and surround yourself with people and relationships who are also able to receive you and show you that you don't have to run away from yourself, that you don't have to be scared, that you're trustworthy even when you're experiencing all of this, because what you access and who you become on the other side is something truly magically unfathomable. Magically unfathomable. This is your potential. Where your potential lies as a woman. It is completely body-based. So I invite you today to lean in deeper and unleash your feminine energy.
