Femininity at its best is a warm, creative, nurturing energy that seeks to help life flourish. As we grow towards becoming more feminine, we want to radiate joy and express an inner peace founded on wisdom that has become almost intuitive, we dwell in it so much. I think that as we practice habits that help us become better people and more feminine women, we should find ourselves gradually beginning to flow more from a place of love in our everyday lives. At the core of femininity is perhaps a love of life itself in all its beautiful diversity and a love for all the living. It’s because we recognise the inherent value of creation that we strive to help it thrive.
Nurturing, nourishing, creating, beautifying, guiding, and sharing wisdom are all life-giving acts. We each express our femininity in individual ways – some women may be more whimsical artists or gentle souls, whilst others may be bold campaigners or encouraging leaders. All of these are life-giving. In a flourishing garden there is much variety and beauty. It is only where things are dead that everything is the same, or in a blank monoculture that doesn’t support other forms of life. I think one key to maintaining and motivating our femininity is to revel in, be awed by, and celebrate life. Celebrations draw communities, families, friends, and relationships together. They unite people and provide an opportunity to nurture one another, as well as giving a means to express creativity and grow traditions that can point to a greater wisdom.
Femininity needs to celebrate life because celebration fosters appreciation for creativity, community, and the gift of living. One form of celebration is music. I find that music can be helpful for tuning into an energy and mode of being, so below I’ve shared several songs that I feel tap into different parts of femininity. You may have other pieces of music that express femininity to you, yet I hope these might form a source of inspiration. Know that you are loved and so can live from that place of love. God bless!
