In this blog, we will explore sensuality and the intimate expression of the senses through your feminine flow. Sensuality is about being intimate with the sensations of your body. Really intimate with senses of hearing, movement, touch, emotions etc. So it’s a level of sensitivity to the way your body relates to the world and a willingness to listen to it. This is all about you becoming connected to your body and your natural sensual essence.
So…Let’s dive deeper into what it means to be a sensual woman through your senses.
I also invite you to check out my episode where I dive deeper into this theme about being a sensual woman through your senses.
Sensuality is not the same as sexuality
One thing I want to mention is that sensuality and sexuality are not same.
Sensuality is different. Your sensuality is that inner feeling. It is so deep within you. It’s an experience, an aliveness.
Living a sensual life means we have the potential to derive pleasure out of every single waking moment. It’s the ability to turn the sensation of wetness of your mouth, the air on your skin, the sensations that would be normally overlooked, into pleasurable enriching experiences.
So it is not the same as sexuality which is what it normally gets married to.
Sensuality builds on the experience of sexuality and when we infuse it with our sensual nature it becomes so much more real and fulfilling. And that means our sexual experiences become more rich.
Although sensuality and sexuality are different, they are connected because your sexuality relies on your sensuality to be connected and intimate. You cannot be in a sexual experience when you are not embracing your sensual side. So sensuality asks you to become fully present in your body, in your sensations. Dropped in. Intimate with yourself and your internal and external world.
Your sensuality is you at your core, experiencing all of your sensations in your body and when you have a sexual experience, this is how you can reach higher potentials of pleasure.
There is a feminine pulse that’s alive within all of us. It is like a fire. And these pulses and sensations that are in your body are connected to your feelings, expressions and your sexual expressions. Your sensations are what drive your aliveness, and how you can live to your fullest potential. Your sexuality is this expression of that inner feeling within you that caters for that energetic force. So this is how we also know what we love and desire. Â
Sensuality and your senses
Sensuality is made up of your sensory nature. It is connected to your senses. And this is how you interact with world and experience the world.
Your sensuality is this channel in us that helps us connect with life, with beauty and with love.
We are always experiencing life at each moment. Its abundant and rich in the way we do this.
Often, I hear women say “I’m not sensual.” But we are inherently sensual, similar to nature. But what has happened is, that we have become disconnected from this way of moving through life, we are in the mind. And this means we are not fully dropped into the sensations.
We see sensuality as this thing that is shameful and therefore it has been repressed. This has left us fundamentally disconnected from our pleasure, our power, and our capacity to claim our bodies as our own. And when we are disconnected from our world and our experiences, we experience life from the mind level only. So that means we become less in the body and when you’re less in the body, we become more rigid in the way we experience life and its magnificence.
So tapping back into your sensuality is more needed for us women to feel relaxed and at peace.
Sensuality is healing
As women, we are constantly trying to navigate through all the information coming at us, and we have blocked off the beautiful sensual pleasures available to us. No fault of our own. We have blocked off our way to interact with the world and its beauty through our sensual expression.
It would be so easy for me to sit here and say yes this is the place you need to be. But I also know how it doesn’t come easy for us women because we have been moving by default from the space of the mind constantly, disconnected from our sensual nature. We are in survival because we are trying to keep up. So our body has done what she has needed to do to survive.
So this work of the feminine and embracing sensuality is more important than we realise. We can learn how to feel safe in the body, to drop in and be offered other tools to reconnect with the art of sensuality.Â
Embrace sensual practices to become more present with pleasure
By doing little things in your daily life to become more present, you can enhance your ability to connect with life and the pleasures around you through your senses.
You can be sensual every single day in every moment. It is the way you taste those flavors.
The way you feel the wetness of your mouth.
It’s in the way you use your touch, your sound, your breath. All of which is how you connect with not only your senses, but it goes deeper. It is how you allow life, Spirit, Love to move through you and therefore connect with the Divinity you are. And in this way, you feel more, and you open up to more pleasure. This is key to embracing beauty and love.
I invite you to check out my FREE 7 day Erotic Feminine Program where you begin this journey of becoming present with your felt sense and connected to your own pleasures which are available to your right here in your feminine, feeling, wise body.
You are inherently sensual. So you are not learning to be sensual, you are just here remembering the sensual nature that you are. And that’s why my work is so important, I guide women to realizing their sensual nature through the reclamation of their body in a holistic way.
This is exactly what we do inside the sensual, sacred sexuality and pleasure sisterhood group program Feminine Remembrance: Come Home To Yourself. – You can get on the waiting list now.
By reconnecting with your erotic innocence you realise the sensual woman that you are. You feel the sensual element with each breath, breathing in beauty and love. Activating your aliveness to connect with life and people in much deeper and enriched ways. And this is how we feel greater joy and gratitude in our lives.
So when you begin to reclaim this beautiful essence of you, you not only become more connected with your body but you begin to become aware of how you are engaging with life.
You realize what you love and desire in a sexual experience.
You understand the way you respond to life.
You realize your need to slow down and pause in a sacred way.
You become more comfortable with your naked body and in this way, you begin to take pleasure in your body.Â
You then have better, more pleasurable sexual experiences but also in moments that are not sexual.
You see flowers brighter, you feel love deeply and you engage with your body in sensual, slow ways.
In this way you begin to communicate with life- you take in the abundance of life and pleasures of life. This is how you bring more joy into our lives. You feel more gratitude for life.Â
You feel more connected to life and others. You develop a loving relationship with yourself and then with others, you feel more connected with your loved one.
You feel the joy of presence.
And by engaging in sensual practices this is how we ignite our feminine essence. This is the key to embodiment.
I speak about wellness for women and femininity alot.
When I speak about Feminine energy it’s important to know that we all have feminine and masculine energies within us all. It doesn’t matter what gender. However, women usually have a more dominant feminine energy. And they are usually in their happy place when they are anchored into their feminine energy. When women are anchored in their feminine energy they create with ease, they embrace the darkness and they feel at home in the body.
Feminine energy is usually related to all things in the body, the feelings, the emotions, the love, the being, the receptivity, the connection to the earth and connection with your womb’s wisdom.
Masculine energy is more focused, it is logical, visionary, doing energy, it is about structure and discipline. So as you can see we embody all of these traits in us.
In today’s society, most women however, have an overdeveloped masculine side. And have learned to repress their feminine side. It makes them feel safe and feel seen. Because in the western world, we often praise those who are working at a linear way. That we need to keep going, that a person who is more aggressive is more valuable and to be feminine is often seen as weak.
The feminine has nothing to do with being more of anything. In Fact, it is about unlayering, untying those chains and threads that have kept us in hiding, kept us small, kept our voices blocked to fit into what everyone else expects from us. The feminine is in hiding.
I am finding that a lot of women are wanting to come back to their feminine side. And there is a lot out there that can often make us more confused. So it is my mission to ensure that I guide women onto this reclamation and know that this is not about taking on another role, another way, another mask. This is really about you being you. Rested in your heart. Safe in your body. Thriving in your pleasure and radiance.
Because the truth is, being in your masculine energy all the time can feel exhausting. It feels forced, it feels like they are always walking uphill. It feels unfulfiling.
So let’s step into our magnetic feminine being you are. I am here to show you that there is a way of ease, love and bliss.
To start reclaiming this beautiful radiant self.
To start stepping into your true self that feels authentically you.
I am going to share the 10 habits to start stepping into your feminine energy. I could have written 100 but for today we will start with these 10.
Feel free to watch the full video here:
1. Creativity
Start immersing yourself in things that make you feel good and get your Creative juices going. Make creativity a part of your lifestyle.
The feminine energy is the place to create and she creates not just things, but a life that is aligned. So when immersed in practices that feel good, you become more intuitive, more aligned to your heart. And you create from that space.
The feminine is the creative energy. Look around you, Mother Earth is our biggest teacher. She is always creating life and beauty around her. This is your beautiful power also. You have the power to create a life, and the desires, that you decide.Â
The feminine is not meant to be on the go all the time. The feminine inside of you loves to create, she loves to be in her body to tap into this flow state, this place that brings you back to your inner child. This can be in dance, in painting, in creating your business, writing, cooking, flower arranging, making essential oils.
When we are in this creative state, we are often in the body. We start to open our heart and through this space, we drop from the mind and hear these subtle messages. Make time to do things that light you up.
2. Embrace your dark emotions
To create, we also have to allow ourselves to go into the darkness and unknown. We cannot fully create the life that we desire, the relationship that we desire, and the healthy relationship with ourselves, if we haven’t learned to let go of the things that are stopping us from doing so, or that keep us in repeated patterns that block our radiance.Â
So this means being with your dark emotions, the emotions that we often push aside, the things we feel fear about or doubt, or shame. We feel a lot of shame as women, it is embedded in our feminine psyche.
So feel your feelings instead of suppressing them. And if you are not used to this or don’t feel safe to do so, this can feel really overwhelming but it doesn’t have to be. That’s why bringing touch really helps. Bringing in pleasure, somatic practices can help you space space to go into the unknown and feel what is there.
Our emotions are not weak, or make us weak. If we have learned this, we often stuff our emotions down. And when we repress these emotions or haven’t practised acknowledging our emotions and discerning them, the more we find ourselves feeling blocked in our creativity, in our intuition and we even start to project this into unhealthy ways like frustration or defensiveness. This is not supportive of our feminine energy.
Feeling your feelings is not the same as thinking your feelings. This is where we get stuck in the ego and the mind. This is not about fixing your feelings or finding solutions either.
So when you feel you your feelings, you can ask…
Where do you feel it in your body? Do you feel it in your heart, your chest, your back, your belly?
What does it feel like? So connecting with your sensations. Maybe airy, open, tight, heavy, dark.
To tap into your feminine, it means knowing how to dive deep into your emotions and not being afraid to go there. There is so much we can learn from them. There is so much that can be birthed from this space. It’s where the growth really occurs, no matter how uncomfortable it might make you feel.
The best place to start working with your dark feminine energy is through working with the womb and yoni. Check out this blog How well do you know your yoni?
3. Soften to embody your feminine energy
In order to soften we need to drop into the body. So often we don’t realize that our body is asking us to soften. To soften the breath, soften your yoni, soften your belly. This is so important. In order for us to receive love, an intuition message, to receive pleasure, we need to soften. Our body cannot feel open and receptive, the feminine is receptive, if our body is contracted all the time. And so often we are contracted because this may have been our default way of moving through life. It might have felt safer to be here.
But we can take leadership in our life and choose a way that feels gentle and soft.
So how can I soften or how can I be more gentle with myself? How can I offer myself some loving attention right now?
When I say soft. I don’t mean being a pushover or having no boundaries, this is about being soft, free, joyful .
Usually when living in masculine energy all the time, your body will get used to being tense. Because the masculine is usually about the mind. So if we are in the mind all the time and neglecting our feeling body we are not becoming aware as the body.Â
So when we soften, it is becoming aware of the sensations in the body.
This can mean softening your breath. Or maybe softening your voice. When you soften your voice, you can even see where your breath resides.
How can you bring ease and this softness into the things you do?
4. Embrace your masculine energy
Your Feminine cannot exist without masculine energy because if we are constantly in our feminine flowy energetic state, she has nowhere to go. She will be chaotic. She is just this force, this being moving with nowhere to go, no direction, just floating around.Â
The masculine part of you will allow you to thrive. This is how your feminine part of you shines because she has a structured, a grounding, safe container that can allow her to continue shining. In order to feel this in another person, your partner, we need to know how this safe container feels within ourselves. What does groundedness and safety feel like?
Usually in a relationship, because there is an entity, it usually requires the masculine to take lead and her to relax in her feminine. And these qualities exist within you too.
When we learn how to be in these two energies and know how to move from one to the other, the masculine energy within you will allow the feminine part of you to feel relaxed, to feel at ease in your voice, to trust your intuition and then take action, to be the integrity of your heart. These two energies work and weave together.
So when you move from your feminine essence and then meet with the masculine part of you, this looks like you being comfortable in your own skin, you showing up in devotion and being committed to this part of you that is flowy and speaks from love. This means knowing your worth and standing and speaking from the place of your heart but with integrity also.
5. Structure
This relates to the previous one. Your feminine will need structure. She needs devotion. She needs some sort of structure that she can feel supported in.
This might look like a routine.
It might look like setting out your goals for the week.
This might mean ensuring that you make time for you, for nourishment.
Maybe cleaning your house on a certain day.
Light structure and discipline is important to allow the feminine part of you to feel supported and that she can relax into this part of her that is flowy. And this will also balance the masculine part of you because you also know that it is ok to let go a little, that although you have this structure, you also know that life is not linear and that you can let go. You know how to soften.Â
So it’s important to also know yourself, know your cycle, know your energies. And also be flowy and free with that. Otherwise, we can often have these routines and structures and not allow room for flexibility and adaptability which can then feel suffocating to the feminine creative essence in you.Â
You might also need to organise your home, so your feminine doesn’t feel like she’s running around trying to find things.
Your feminine needs to feel calm and supported, and not stressed. She needs a sensual environment that supports her energy to feel comfortable. Do what you need to do to feel fully comfortable to be seen in your radiant feminine.
6. know your menstrual cycle
To be connected with your feminine energy, means connecting with the rhythm of the earth, of nature, of the seasons, of being aligned with the moon as well as your unique rhythm. When we know our menstrual cycle, and our unique rhythm, we also know ourselves. We start to trust ourselves. We listen to our needs. We know when we are feeling more tender, so it is time to be soft, and retreat into the void,Â
You also know when to be more outward, when to be more social. Or even when you are more creative.
So when we start to know ourselves in this way, we start to embody a strength, a power. Because we stop listening to the outside world and we become more attuned to the messages and signals of our body.
As we know we are different from men. But we walk through life thinking that to be successful, we have to show up the same each day. And there must be something wrong with us if we feel a dip in our energy levels. We believe that we have to produce consistent results no matter what what we’re feeling and going through in our life
Instead, we believe that we are more powerful if we power through pain, through tiredness. Therefore, this proves that we are a strong fierce woman. And if we are not pushing through, we are shamed and judged for not being consistent, or strong or we are seen as lazy and weak.Â
We are not machines like robots. And you are not weak if you can’t keep up with everyone around you every day. The more we think we are weak, the more we shame ourselves and then compete with other women.
This way of being does not serve women, our feminine one bit.
It is time to start recognising this natural part of ourselves and learn to be in our body fully.
This leads me to the next point- Be in the presence of Mother Earth. She is the ultimate divine feminine. We live in a world that values production, a linear way of doing things, perfection, and of output, over beauty, joy, connection, resting, and flow. So we can be reminded of these beautiful qualities within ourselves when we connect with Mother Nature.Â
It also means we slow down. She reminds you of this feeling of connection. Of that feeling of groundedness. She helps you to be connected with your senses and to live from that space and see the blessings that are so available to us.
She reminds us of the rhythms, of our inner rhythms and our connection to her cycles as we are water emotional beings. And when we feel down, she will offer you her abundance, her gifts, her natural healing qualities. In this way, our mood changes, we feel lighter, and we feel connected to ourselves again.
This can also mean you create an environment that incorporates her qualities, this is how we support our feminine as well. When we create a sensual environment that connects us to the earth and our senses, we start to feel supported and connected to ourselves.
We have to start making our connection to the earth a priority. We are not meant to be living in disconnect as this depletes us. We are nature after all, we are meant to be one with her.
8. EmbracE sensuality
Start doing a sensuality check in.
Why? Because sensuality feeds your feminine, your life-force energy, Your radiance, Your Goddess to shine.
Think about the times when you were having a bad day and then something uplifted you. Maybe it was a hug from your lover, you noticed your flowers on your table and smelled the deliciousness of them. You tasted the hot food that you made, you looked outside your window and felt the sun’s heat touch your face, or you put on your favorite lipstick that just brought so much color to your beautiful face.
Within seconds, you are instantly shifted out of stress and into softness and connection. In this connection, you became present with what was there. You become open to receiving new perspectives, you become more intuitive, and your heart smiles. You relax your body’s stress and need to hold tight. This was all because you embraced sensuality.
As you can see sensuality is more than what we have been taught.
It’s about surrounding yourself with beauty that fills up and explodes your senses. It is about being open to the wonderful experience of drinking that beauty in!
Tasting all that life has to offer. Welcome and being in all of that.
When we miss out on this presence, we miss out on pleasure, and we get stuck in that hamster wheel, burning your beautiful radiance out. You are beautiful and radiant in your sensual nature.
9. Embrace your wild woman for joy
This society values the pretty good girl. Or even the put together mother.
We don’t value the messy, the darkness, the unknown of the feminine energy. So we have to bring this in our lives to start taking this power back. To start knowing that there is so much power, so much wisdom in these spaces of unknown, in letting go.
A great way to do this is to practice moving, and dancing in a non linear way. Remember the feminine is moving and flowing, and the masculine energy is stillness, silence, structure.
So how can I dance that allows me to let go of how this looks and instead practice being in the wild woman? The wild woman who is messy, she is imperfect. This wild woman is what society fears. Because it’s unknown and yes imperfect.
So conscious intuitive movement is a great way to start practicing being in your body and following your rhythm. This helps you connect to your heart, which connects you with the wild part of you. A movement that makes you feel sensual and connected. This is not about following steps perfectly, It’s about connecting with your pleasure, with the part of you that feels good and that supports the connection of your heart.
When you dance in a way that is conscious we can also move emotions that often get stuck in the body.
Through this wild nature, we also start to tap into our feminine intelligence which is directly connected to spirit, to the childlike wonder, and we start to see the world differently.
The feminine within you will thrive in this space of wildness, of letting your body go, of rolling around on the floor. We rise in our worth when we can feel comfortable being here. It may feel strange at first but from this space is where we remember that little girl who loved to open her legs and be free in her body. This embodied presence brings so much joy to our lives.
Make space for this. Be devoted to this. This is where we grow. Where we start really stepping into our bigger self, the feminine has been in hiding, she has been playing small for far too long.
10 . Practice receiving
Take time to do you, to be with yourself. And be intentional. The feminine needs this.
Let yourself receive. The feminine is the receiving energy. And in this receiving energy, we learn to tap into our Innate magnetic quality. We are often sold this idea that the more we do the more we receive, or we won’t receive or manifest unless we hustle and have it all together.Â
When you embrace your sensual nature, your softness, your creative essence, when you are connected to your heart and body, you begin to feel open to receive with EASE.
The universe loves to offer and you receive.
Now this doesn’t mean we just take a step back and let the universe do everything or that in a relationship we just sit back and he does all the work. Now, remember the feminine requires the masculine energy of the action piece to take place, but our doing is felt and done in alignment with joy, ease and love.
By you showing up for your heart, you showing up in your energy, in your love, in your sensual nature, in you doing the work to feel into you, you receive.
This is a 7 day series where you will be offered 7 beautiful, tangible, healing practices to connect with your feminine energy, your pleasure and sensuality. This is the way that you open yourself up for relaxation, and ease and to receive what is meant for you at heart level. One of the practices that you will receive is an ancient Taoist Tantric practice to connect with your yoni. This is a beautiful place to be.
And…

A transformative 10 week group program that will leave you feel empowered, aligned and connected with your most authentic, sensual, vibrant self.

I have been noticing the word goddess embodiment and goddess dance come up alot lately.
What we need to understand is that when we awaken to the divine feminine, it is much more than talking about Goddess embodiment and Goddess dance.
Embodiment in fact is much more than dancing and self love. Embodiment is your way of living, that is no different to the way you move and speak in the world. It is the fact of becoming aware or alive in the signals of your body. This is sensual recognition – where you realize how your body is responding to whatever situation and then knowing how you hold yourself. This is embodiment. Let’s dive in further about this idea of the divine feminine.
Feminine Embodiment is a Practice of Self-Love
Similar to yoga, mindfulness and meditation, embodiment practices incorporates elements from all three, and is itself a practice of integrating the mind, body and soul.
However, when we integrate the archetype of the divine feminine, and the ancient embodiment arts to honour the Goddess, it becomes a healing practice. The Goddess within each of us can fill us with self love as she inspires us on our journey of self healing. She can teach us destruction, ways to speak truth, ways to know truth and ways to go into the darkness with such strength to come through on the other side.
Whether we are feminine or masculine, we all carry aspects of the divine feminine within us. And when we learn to embody the divine feminine within, we unleash the creative, nurturing, loving aspects of ourselves. However, we also learn to unleash the wild, dark aspects of ourselves which is where we really find and discover who we are in this world.
You can watch more about the divine feminine and sacred masculine and their qualities here.
Feminine Embodiment is Healing the Divine Feminine
To honour the Goddess through feminine embodiment Goddess is based on the principle that every human soul has both feminine and masculine qualities. This has absolutely nothing to do with gender, but is rather an energetic frequency.
Everything in our existence has an inherent polarity. We live in duality.
We have light and we have dark. Both are not better than the other. We require each frequency and know how to be with both to realize that we are all made of the same frequency. We are infact connected with everything. And the more we begin to appreciate this beautiful balance, of dark and light, feminine and masculine, and know how to move from one to the other with grace and acceptance, the more we come into alignment and flow.
What is the Divine Feminine?
The divine feminine takes on different archetypes such as the Priestess, the mother, the wild woman, the Warrior woman, the Medicine woman etc.
It is the nurturing qualities every human innately possesses. The mother that allows us to really hold the void and emptiness that we feel when we go into the darkness. And the maiden, lover within that allows us to bless our pain through pleasure and love.
Remember the darkness allows for the light, the infinite possibility wher we hear our intuitive guidance.
Empathy, compassion, nurturing, birth, intuition, water, receiving – these are all aspects of the divine feminine, and they are present in every human being.
In the same way we carry this fire, this burning desire within us. The sexual life force energy which brings forth our desires. This power that sits deep within our womb space for us to speak and move forward with our dreams and desires with such love and integrity.
These qualities are balanced, when we bring consciousness to them, by the sacred masculine energies of ambition, direction, reason, strategy, organization, containment, vision and clarity. And more importantly the stillness and presence that is required for us to anchor into our dreams and desires.
Naturally, we must have both energies, but for many years, the divine feminine has been repressed and rejected, devalued and discarded. We see this especially with our sacred sexuality or even with our power in relationship to how we live in alignment with our menstrual cycle.
Since this is a quality belonging to all humans regardless of gender or sexual orientation, the repression of a fundamental part of ourselves leads to disease and disorders of all kinds.
To dive deeper into the path of the feminine, to manifest and align to your desires through your body, I invite you to join the 10 week group immersion
So, whether repression expresses itself in shame, judgment, fear, or self doubt, or guilt we feel the outcome of these through different ways. Therefore, when we embody the divine feminine, we reclaim the beauty of the great mother. We reclaim our sexuality and pleasures as ours. We take back our power and speak with love. We give ourselves permission to honor the great nurturer, from mother earth to the sacred feminine within all of us.
As we heal the divine feminine, we open the door to healing and integrating the sacred masculine as well. The sacred masculine can finally have purpose.
Discovering Your Soul’s Purpose Through feminine Embodiment
When you are embodying your desires and dreams and you are taking action by stepping into your power and really showing up no matter the challenges behind them. Then you are really showing up as your divine goddess embodied self.
There is no force behind it, there is a flow that goes with it. It is almost like when you meet someone for the first time and you know there is an instant connection and it’s just easy. When you are completely in alignment, it is easy. There are challenges of course, but you have the tools to go ahead with them.
When we practice feminine embodiment, we are not rejecting parts of ourselves. We are bringing all parts of ourselves up to the surface as a way to shine and to know where our gifts really lie. So it becomes about you shining your gifts and your goals, so you don’t come from a place of fear or shame, but are owning what you have.
We have all been given these gifts and we all have our own unique soul contract. And we are all divinely guided by our divine power, so we need to trust that this divine power is not only within us, but also everywhere in the universe. This comes with surrender and trust.
There is a difference between working hard and investing yourself, versus stressing, fear and feeling out of control. It is a different kind of challenge and you will begin to recognize it when you progress through the Feminine Remembrance: Come Home To Yourself Group Immersion.
When we know that we are doing everything that we can in service of our dreams, then we also need to know when it is time to step back and let go.
If I am already showing up and I am already giving everything that I can, everything that I have, then the rest is out of my control. So, we need to trust that the universe is going to support us. And that is the notion of surrender, of being with the flow and vibrating high.
Feminine embodiment is really about having faith and just surrendering. Surrendering and allowing. When you know that you have done everything in your power to show up as your as your divine self, and you have incorporated both the feminine and the masculine, the yin and the yang, the light and dark, the soft and hard, the drive with the flow, then you have done everything that you can.
Then you know that now it’s up to the universe to guide you. This takes surrender and trust.
Manifesting Effortlessly Through Feminine Embodiment
As I always say in my trainings and masterclasses, as a woman you are are manifesting all the time. However, to know you are effortlessly magnetic is another thing. As we know now the feminine way is not about pushing and striving, and forcing your way through resistance.
When you know you have done everything, the best thing to know is that you surrendering and allowing things to unfold naturally will work to your advantage. The universe is always there supporting you.
The question is, do you trust? Do you trust enough to let go of the control and meet with the resistance with your softness.
The universe and the guidance that you have is never in the mind, as I explain through the program. It’s never in the ego, as much as the ego wants to make its way back in, and it will. And that’s okay, but your soul is the messenger and your heart is the receiver, so that is where we need to start, always.
Manifesting Abundance
Abundance can be about anything – it’s the plentiful availability of something. This can be money, it can be love, joy, food, security.
Anything can be in an abundant state. Basically everything that you are born with and everything that mother earth provides us is what creates abundance. This is our inherent way of being in the world. To know you are always worthy and inherently abundant is something we are not taught unfortunately, in a world of achievements and proving ourselves.
However, when we take on the feminine way of manifesting and aligning to our hearts, we will see that
Embodying Mother Earth, The Great Gaya
Honoring Mother Earth is a great opportunity to take a step back and start being mindful by honoring the present moment and showing gratitude for nature. We can also start to honor our own life cycles – just like nature and all of those beautiful things – we have our own cycles too.
In this honoring we begin to develop a new and nourishing relationship with our menstrual cycle which is so needed in this life of doing, which leads to burn out and exhaustion.
When we self nurture, we generate abundance within our physical bodies or physical space in everything we do. Remember to be in embodiment means to acknowledge, love and nourish everything within you. This is a holistic approach
When we do the work of providing nourishment to ourselves, we also begin to do the work of acknowledging when we are in a lack mentality mindset. This is when we begin to think we are not good enough or worthy enough of receiving. Remember we are abundant in nature. And knowing this can offer us this feeling of knowing that we are worthy just because we are worthy.
No matter what we do, if we continue to come back to this knowing, no matter if we fall off the horse at times, which we will, we will always come back to this knowing that we are inherently abundant, therefore worthy of receiving.
Self Nourishment with Feminine Embodiment
By nurturing ourselves we create abundance within, which will begin to manifest in the external world as well. This is much more than just adding skin care practices to your self care routine. Yes it is important to consider what skin care products you are using for your glowing skin. However, it takes more than this.
This is the work of self nourishment, which really always begins with the internal work. Such as getting enough rest and time for yourself.
We often think that the more we do, the more we will receive and achieve. But it doesn’t work like this, this is what will cause burn out. Over giving ourselves, comes from the masculine energy of the Mother archetype. And it is very easy for us women to go down that path of over-giving. Which is why it is even more important to allow yourself time and space to just be with you.
Listen to music, lay on your bed in silence to just be with you, read a book.
Journaling is also a beautiful way to connect with and understand some of the patterns and ways you move through your life that may not be best serving you. Again we explore this inside the program, where we then invite in an embodiment practice, to really bring in the new energy we desire to feel into our bodies.
We begin with the lower chakras, to really anchor into this power and knowing of our inner wisdom. We connect with and release blocks around the root and sacral chakra, exploring themes around sexuality, sensuality, relationships, womb connection, the menstrual cycle and more.
We also work with the heart chakra, inviting in soothing practices to expand in to this frequency of love. And intentionally bring together the womb and heart together which is often overlooked in healing spaces. Without the connection of the sacral chakra with the heart chakra, it is just power working. And without the heart with the sacral, it is just softness and gentleness. We require both chakras to work together.
You will also learn how to create a sanctuary within yourself and around you to help create the container for your sensual self to thrive. We also work with the solar plexus to find your inner power and work with confidence. As well as inviting in the strength and will of the healthy masculine. And no matter what we will also come back to the spirit and divinity that lives in and around you to remind you of your highest self. We ensure that as we meet with the spirit and crown chakra we are always rooted and anchored into the body first.
This is the method of embodiment and awakening to the wisdom of your highest essence.

We are hearing this term “embodiment” a lot lately but what does it actually mean? Let me explain in this article as I discuss feminine embodiment and how we can use sacred movement as a tool to return to your authentic essence and listen to the feminine wisdom within.
What is embodiment
First of all, Embodiment and embodied are different.
Embodied means to represent something.
Embodiment is also not a dance, not a performance, not an enactment of a dance or a choreography. It is not even about yoga.
Now I am also not saying that yoga and dance aren’t wonderful ways for strengthening, for bringing enjoyment to your life and for connecting with your body. However, embodiment goes deeper than that.
Embodiment is this infusion of what you are representing in a way that is no longer different than your beingness. So embodiment is your way of moving, and being in this world. It is who you are, your nature. Your essence. It is your second nature.
We can only cultivate embodiment when you are not in the mind and in the head. And we descend down into the body. From here you realize what it is that is aligned with your soul.
Embodiment is also more than just being in the body. That is because we are always in the body. This is how we move through life but the essence of embodiment is becoming aware of all your sensations and when you do you become aware as a whole essence. You are becoming aware as the body. As your heart. As your spirit.
What is the key to feminine embodiment
Feminine embodiment is the unrationalized feminine way of expression, however that looks for you. When you melt into your movements, in your body, you communicate your deepest thoughts, emotions, your inspired messages- that is your truth, your authenticity.
The key to feminine embodiment is being able to trust your body to move in a way, to your own rhythm, to express your own divinity through your body. Following and surrendering to your own rhythm of your heart and soul. So when you are following a choreography, let’s say, you are too focused on the actions of another and then we miss the important essence which is communicating and expressing yourself through your own sensual movement, your own sacred movement which is authentic to you.
When you live from this awareness about who you really are and not from the expectations and all the roles you are supposed to be, you respond to life much differently. You begin to engage with life, situations, people, challenging moments not from your ego self, but from your truth. You see yourself as the living and breathing embodiment of the divine itself.
This is when life begins to flow. Because you begin to engage with situations and people that are in attunement to who you are. At your heart level.
Then, when you are faced with challenges, you will have the tools, wisdom, trust, and the knowing and language of your body to be equipped for what life has to offer you and that includes all the challenges. And this is exactly what I love teaching in my circles.
For us women, feminine embodiment is a descent into lower energy centers of the female body.
Therefore, we need to cultivate this loving relationship with the pelvic floor, hips, womb, and that includes the yoni of course. This is where your power lies as this is where your wisdom lies. This is where your creativity, inspirations and desires are birthed. This is where we listen to her words of wisdom. She will tell you exactly when something is not aligned. And the more you connect with her, the more you hear her.Find more here in this blog.
So when you know how to tune into this, life spirals upward.
What happens when women are not living in embodiment
The thing is, we live in a modern world that has fragmented our authentic being, it has not supported the connection to the heart and soul, as well as how we relate to ourselves. We have not learned how to descend into the lower consciousness centers which is that of the pelvis, or the womb center.
Unfortunately, we just stay in the limited mind, the intellect constantly, which is essential for aspects of our life like making decisions, organizing our business etc, but when we are held in this space for most of our days or let alone lives, we create a disassociation to our inner world. It creates stress, anxiety and we stay stuck on all of the negative stories that we may have upheld to be true about ourselves. And instead of our energy moving upward to the place of visionary action, our vital energy leaks out.
Which is then how we go into a more disempowered way of being in the world which can look like comparing ourselves to other women, competitiveness, staying as the victim, feeling helpless, or even chaotic. Don’t forget to watch the exciting recording about the importance of healing the sister wound here.
When women are not in embodiment it can also look like caring too much of what others think, seeking other’s validation, looking to the external for your place in the world. Life feels like a hassle and you stay in situations that are not in alignment with your heart. You may even keep experiencing the same lessons that keep you stuck. You also stay in the cycle of not feeling good enough.
Now…If you’re experiencing any of these, also know that it is ok.
I was there for all of my life, until I consciously decided I was not going to rely on other people’s ideas to make a decision. I stopped indulging in gossip. I stopped reading everyone’s ways to do things and instead I began to learn and practice how to really deeply listen to the voice of my own rhythm, my own wisdom of my womb and the knowing of my heart. From that space everything shifted and my relationships went to new levels of consciousness.
This is all about bringing awareness to all of your experiences and how they are playing a role in how you are moving through life right now.
Know that it can change right now, just by turning inward and checking in with how you are feeling inside at this moment. It always starts with where you are right now. Right in this moment. Baby steps as they say. And then just taking one aligned action that you know is going to help serve your highest self – that place is the place that just feels right.
Using sacred movement and other techniques for feminine embodiment
The woman in embodiment is her being in this full awareness. And this also includes her sexual energy and life force energy. It is not just based on the outer looks. She is more focused on her way of being and living in this world. And naturally this radiates and vibrates out in the world with such natural beauty.
When we understand how to drop from the mind and move, be and feel from the space of the body we become more attuned to the sensations that are there. We listen more. We receive more. We come into harmonious balance to the energy points of the body. We allow the heart to open and therefore, the womb softens into her natural sensual state.
I love using embodiment practices such as ancient Taoist Tantric tools and erotic, sensual movements in my women’s programs, and women’s circles/ceremonies as a way to compliment all of the learnings and to continue dropping into the awareness of the body.
We can use sacred movement as a tool to not only meet with your body in a new feminine way and attune to your powerful feminine wisdom but to also experience flow, fluidity, and sensuality.
To connect to all the sensations of being in the body as well as to meet with the denied and repressed aspects of self, the shadow and dark feminine aspects of you, which can cause a dysregulated nervous system and tension in the body. This is a whole new way of meeting with your feminine wisdom, your authentic self and the divine.
It is all about reconnecting with the innate intelligence, the body’s wisdom and beingness that is alive in all of us. To always return back to the womb space and heart.
My greatest mission in life is to guide women back into the reclamation of their body through safety, integrity and love at the same time.
When your use the body as a way to melt into your sensuality, you feel relaxed, you feel more, sense more, you awaken to a vibrancy that ignites your aliveness, in turn this is how we engage in sexual experiences that feel more wholesome, delicious and nourishing to your soul.
Moving away from perfection and move into feminine empowerment
Feminine Embodiment is all about moving away from perfection, and instead embrace a whole new way of moving through life, to bring forth trust. This is what will bring a whole new sense of liberation to your life because you have embraced the really beautiful art of allowing the intelligence of the heart in connection with your wisdom body, and the sensual womb to lead your life. And this is how we thrive as women.
This is how we feel empowered. This is how we always choose pleasure and bliss over staying in the limited thought patterns. This is how we choose our nourishment over suffering.
The way you connect with your body and feel into each movement will be different from person to person. This is the beauty of these internal practices that I provide to you, this is the way of the feminine. So although I share embodiment practices, they are ways to guide your body, but in the safe space, you are encouraged ot move and be and feel yourself in ways that is unique to you.
In these spaces, we also always use the sacred maculine as a way to bring awareness and consciousness through the stillness.
We have been in perfection for far too long sister.
We have been in the survival for far too long.
We have been in the state of comparing ourselves to other women for far too long.
So this is about you being in charge and declaring how you want to feel in each moment.
Which is why there is no perfection in the moments, in the breathwork, in the sacred touch practices (sex magic being my favourite).
Instead, I want you to Integrate and acknowledge all the different parts of you, even when movements feel awkward or really different. And whenever there is resistance we can meet with it through our pleasure and sensual aliveness.
Through feminine embodiment You may even discover parts of you that have never felt alive before. This is you, reactivating the aliveness that lies within you. It is you reclaiming your essence in your fullest self and this new language will allow you to experience aspects of yourself that have been hiding and suppressed for so long.
In this devotion to yourself, it is here you realize that Your body knows exactly what to do. She loves you so much.
She carries your wisdom. She is your wisdom keeper.
She has the answers. And in this we stop searching and seeking answers outside of ourselves and truly learn to art of receiving, flow and trust.
