We have unraveled the mystery of the sacred feminine for you!

Reconnection to one's intimacy, ode to the moon, magic stones, emancipation, sisterhood and spirituality... The sacred feminine promises a saving return to our deep nature, by mixing several aspects of femininity, sometimes with a slightly mystical background. Everyone has their own beliefs, and everyone can pick out what speaks to them in this trendy return to the original woman who is within us. Little compass in the jungle of the sacred feminine.

Living your sacred feminine: taking a break from the surrounding frenzy

When we combine work and family life, other obligations and a hectic social life, we quickly get caught up in our mental load and forget to settle down. Taking a break is, among other things, what followers of the sacred feminine recommend. A reconnection with one's inner energy, both mental and physical, which requires time for introspection and self-listening. To rediscover what, in our femininity, spans the centuries: a form of spirituality and wisdom stifled by patriarchy and modern life.

But what does this return to the sacred feminine offer?

Exit the roles imposed by society

Regardless of our gender, the sacred feminine would offer to flourish our feminine part, our “yin”. The idea: to find the global, to stop being eternal opposites between men and women, and not to live according to the roles that society assigns to us. But the detractors of this movement object that it is precisely still a question of duality, of essentializing genres.

Experience your periods differently

Whether we are regulated or not, the sacred feminine calls on the moon to feel our cycle. He suggests sleeping under the stars (it's true what a joy when we have the opportunity) or leaving our shutters open to receive the energy of our beautiful satellite. The cycle of menstruating women would then align with that of the Moon, thus offering more harmony...

Being close to nature

In the same idea, the sacred feminine wishes to put an end to taboos on rules and the complexes they generate. Remember that menstrual blood is not dirty, welcome it. And collect it naturally without toxic periodic protection, for example with the free instinctive flow, the cup or period panties .

Thrive sexually

Honoring your body and its sensations, freeing our instincts and the sacred fire of our “sex-womb” is another precept of the sacred feminine. Become fully aware of the place of your uterus (whether you are a mother or not, and even if you have had a hysterectomy), your vulva, your vagina, learn or relearn the benefits of masturbation and float towards a fulfilling sex life , why not by testing yoni eggs .

Treat yourself to rituals that feel good

Books that deal with the sacred feminine also offer meditations on femininity, DIY perfume recipes, breathing exercises, purification rituals and advice for making your own personal altar. A pleasant potpourri of ancestral practices to reintroduce into your daily life.

Vibrate your inner drum

In shamanic rituals, the vibrations of the drum allow women to reconnect with themselves. You can make your own instrument and call on the cosmos, the Moon and the Earth to find your wild woman to the sound of your drum.

(Re)become more selfish

Boosting your sacred feminine would also involve more narcissism and stopping sacrificing yourself, devoting yourself to others. Beneficial selfishness is understood. Doubled with solidarity between women and more sisterhood.

Some works to go further

Of course, the sacred feminine has a long history behind it and is not limited to these few examples. To go further, you can delve into some reading on the subject, for example “La femme tambour” by Layne Redmond or “Awake divine women” by Véronique de la Cochetière.

Fashion effect and sacred feminine: beware of danger

Adhering to the sacred feminine should never be an injunction to know how to live one's femininity, nor should we lock ourselves into a stereotype. Even less be interpreted as a rejection of the masculine (in us or in men). Be especially wary of offers of expensive spiritual retreats, and find out who runs them before you start if you have considered it. When a movement is fashionable, some people take advantage of it. And it's sacrilegious ;)

Instead, take what you like about this movement, your reading (books or blog), your exchanges with others on the subject and make your own sauce! Because in the sacred feminine, the leader is you.
