Some women around the world are so proud of their status that they follow a philosophy of life called "Sacred Femininity". This lifestyle - which has been adopted by women for millennia - offers teachings about our bodies, our emotions, and our feminine cycles, as well as guidance on how to harmonize them with nature.

This means that when women begin to disconnect a little from the technological and routine world, that is, when they seek to discover more about themselves, by going inward, by better perceiving their instincts, their desires and their feminine cycles (such as menstruation and pregnancy), they report that the world around them - and the one inside them - seems to change. It's as if a new consciousnesshugged.

This awakening to a new consciousness about herself can be interpreted as a departure from patriarchal supremacy - repressive and full of rules - to a more maternal, affective, and artistic world, as well as less rational and more sensitive.

The knowledge of the Sacred Feminine is acquired through books, courses, and study groups called "women's circle".

In this philosophy, women study a different concept about themselves, which encompasses the emotional aspects stored in the body, the attunement between menstruation and the phases of the moon, the veneration of the Goddesses of all mythologies and their similarity to each woman, as well as the influence that nature has on our body and psyche.

Sacred Feminine teaches more self-esteem

At Sacred Feminine, women of all cultures, religions, and beliefs learn how to break free from beauty standards and rules pre-established by society. They discover how to love themselves exactly as they are and begin to see themselves as true "Goddesses.

After all, the act of generating, giving birth, nurturing, loving, and intuiting can be considered a gift provided to women.

In this philosophy of the Sacred Feminine, women come to value more their natural cycles, such as menstruation, maturity, pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. However, they are not induced to be radical in living these periods or performing certain functions.

The value is in accepting the naturalness of things, your life history, wants, and abilities. By learning to know yourself more deeply and accepting life events and yourself, wounds begin to be healed and women become happier, kinder, and more unique.

You then discover that being a woman does not mean having a natural birth, breastfeeding, or feeling good in your own skin when you are pregnant. In fact, the goal is to understand how you bring your love and femininity to all these phases of life.

How does the Sacred Feminine help in love relationships?

Love can be defined by each person in a different way. In any case, it is important to remember that there can be no fullness and sincere and true surrender if there is no security. And this is developed through self-knowledge. After all, when you know yourself, understand yourself, know what you like and what you want, everything becomes easier.

The attracting energies of life need to know exactly what you want, in order for them to move in your direction. That is the first step. So think about it: what kind of partner do you want for yourself? Write down on a piece of paper all the characteristics you are looking for in your partner, or even in your other half. You need to know what you want!

In the philosophy of the Sacred Feminine, the second step is to live the experience of loving without depending on the person to live, after all, self-love must come first. It is through the esteem for oneself that the passion will last. The independence of each one within the relationship brings the desire for both to dedicate themselves to the other, favoring the relationship.

Finally, the third step taught by the Sacred Feminine is to discover your Inner Goddess and bring her characteristics into your relationship. The Inner Goddess is the symbolism of the purest essence that exists within you.

In other words, it's your virtues, your most primitive beauties, your warrior who knows what she wants and is determined in this quest, it's your beast, your she-wolf. It's also not being ashamed to be yourself, not sparing yourself because of what society asks you to be. After all, the partner, when attracted to you, wants your best.

Sacred Feminine also benefits sexuality

Problems such as lack of self-love or creative expression, and pain and frustrations in relationships that have been repressed will be manifested in the sexual organs and also in behavior in bed - which explains, for example, why some women experience difficulties during intercourse.

A woman's healing and integration of the energy of her sexuality will especially depend on her understanding of her physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual symbologies.

Even if you don't realize it, your entire sexual experience and discovery as a woman is registered in your mind. Your beliefs will then be reproduced in your sexual life, even if you don't realize it.

For example: a woman from a traditional family background, with repressive parents, who punished or did not encourage her sexual expression, will generally reproduce self-punishing behaviors with sex, which can lead to difficulty reaching orgasm, pain in the relationship, decreased libido, and avoidance of sex.

In the philosophy of the Sacred Feminine, one form of self-treatment for sexual difficulties is done through the expression of creativity. In other words, it is through dance, crafts, drawing, writing, makeup, or any form of self-care, that a woman learns to manifest her creative side.

The belly - which is closely linked to the sexual organ and sex - is a region that symbolizes creation. Therefore, it receives the healing energies for these difficulties through creativity.

Relationship between Sacred Femininity and professional life

Your profession is the expression of your function to the world. No matter what you do, every craft is necessary. And more important than thinking "what is this job for?" - taking into consideration that your job brings money and livelihood - is to remember that the greatest importance of profession lies in thinking about "what does it offer for my identity?"

To increase your professional success, your enjoyment of your career, and even the results of what you produce, you need to understand exactly what your relationship is with your profession. What makes you enjoy your work? What do you expect from it? How does it fulfill you? Does it foster your self-expression and your virtues?

To help you with these questions, you can turn to the archetypes of the Goddesses you most identify with and figure out how to take advantage of this knowledge in your professional career.

Goddesses reveal their professional profile

Aphrodite

Pursuing the love of art and beauty in your work will make you happier. The Aphrodite woman is one who seeks to interact with co-workers or clients. In addition, she may work with beauty and art, or simply likes to beautify the office by decorating the desk she works at, for example.

This is the woman who most needs to work with what she is passionate about. She is always well-groomed and with a seductive, feminine detail.

Athena

For this woman, work is already a pleasure in itself. She can seek even more wholeness in her profession through communication with the public, or by trying to be well dressed at work, preferably according to the fashion trend. This will bring her more well-being.

Demeter

This woman likes to play the role of a mother in the professional environment, since she is protective and zealous with her colleagues and the tasks carried out.

To feel good at work, the Demeter Woman can try to bring the atmosphere of home to work, by putting pictures of her family on her desk or bringing food from home to the office instead of eating at a restaurant. In this way, the Demeter Woman will feel more welcome and tend to take more pleasure in the workplace.

Artemis

This woman likes to have freedom at work, and is not comfortable following orders and rules. The more freedom of self-expression she has, the happier she will be with her job.

Persephone

She needs the work to bring her personal benefits, for example: if she works in a bookstore, she will want to be able to read some of the books sold there. And the more alone she acts, the more dynamic her development will be.
