In today's video, we are going to explore five signs that show that you are living from your feminine power, and this is going to be very helpful for anyone on their feminine reclamation journey. Before I share the signs with you, I want to share with you my definition of what it means to live from your feminine power. I define living from your feminine power as tapping into the feminine energy that we all have access to, but are mostly unskilled in your cyclical, intuitive, creative, and your magnetic energy. When we tap into our feminine energy, we support ourselves to be the fullest, most expansive, richest version of ourselves, and we live that authentic truth out into the world and we take it out into all areas of our lives. Reclaiming your feminine energy and living from your feminine power is not a final destination.
Instead, it's a continuous unfolding of always coming into deeper relationship with yourself and the deeper truth of who you are. The feminine reclamation journey, being lit up from within has two facets. The very first facet is to do the work that gets you lit up, and the second facet is to stay lit up. And this can be a very challenging exploration and a challenging journey because we live in a world that makes it very easy for us to fall into habits of numbing out or disembodying and of avoiding our feelings. We live in a world that profits from us being filled with self-doubt. And so for us to step into our feminine power, it means we need to dismantle the hold that these external and internal structures that have come from living in this world, we need to dismantle these structures. So without any further ado, if you are on a path of reclaiming your feminine energy and your power, here are five signs that you are living from your feminine power.
Number one is you have learned the art of feeling your feelings. And this is an art because so many women, myself included, have never learned how to process our darker and our heavier emotions and our feelings. And as I said earlier, the world that we live in makes it easy for us to be disembodied and to avoid feeling those more uncomfortable feelings. So a woman who is tapped into her feminine power is also a woman who is deeply in tune with what she is feeling. She is not afraid to sit with even the darker emotions and sensations inside her body and in her being. And she knows that there is nothing to be gained by only going for positive vibes. Since that rejects part of who she is. Our feelings and our emotions, even the dark and deep ones, and perhaps especially those have a message for us.
They tell us when we are out of alignment with ourselves. They tell us when something in our lives need to change. They tell us when we need to make a decision, and it can be scary sometimes to have to own up to that. So what we tend to do when we faced with these uncomfortable feelings is we shop harder, we party harder, we work harder. We find all kinds of ways to distract ourselves or we intellectualise our feelings, meaning that we take the feeling out of the body and we pull it into our mind so that we can speak of it and we can explain to other people how we feel without having to be in the experience of the feeling. When we walk the path of the feminine, we learn to nurture ourselves. We learn to hold space for the darker and the more undesirable emotions and feelings as they make themselves known to us.
And we take from that the nuggets of wisdom which we then can live out into the world. The second sign of a woman who leads from her feminine power is that she has learned the art of holding boundaries. So she knows very clearly and she can express very clearly what is her yes and what is her no. Many boundaries that we try and hold in the world fail because when we create a boundary only from the level of the mind, it usually is a boundary that comes as a result of, I have had enough, no more. I'm not letting X, Y, and Z happen anymore. I'm not available for X, y, and Z anymore. But this boundary is built on sandy foundations because it's only coming from the level of the mind, and it's usually a boundary that comes as a result of a reaction or a trigger.
It might work for a short little while, but it's not strong enough to hold. When instead, we create these boundaries from an embodied knowing where we are deeply in tune with what our inner experience is around a certain situation, and we are tuned in to listen to how our bodies respond in certain situations. The boundaries that we hold as a result of this inner knowing is built on solid foundations, so our boundaries are much stronger. Our feminine reclamation journey allows us to get into touch with what our yes and our no is inside our bodies. It helps us break through all of the people pleasing patterns that we hold. And

I speak as a reformed people pleaser here. As people pleasers, we feel obliged to always say yes, and it makes us feel bad if we have to say no, because often we believe that means we'll disappoint people or it means that people won't approve of us. But a woman who is in her power knows the most important approval is the one that she gives to herself. The third sign of a woman who is leading from her feminine power is that she has allowed her heart to crack open and she has access to compassion for herself and love and nurturing for herself to sustain her so that she has more capacity for all of the demands that she has in her life. You can only give as much as you have available. So it's super important for us to make sure that we stay resourced and that we stay lit up from within.
We can turn that love and compassion and acceptance on ourselves, on our dark bits, on our shadow, so that we can not only show up in our lightest, most brightest expression, but we can also love ourselves through the darkness. And this is how we become sovereign, empowered woman. Don't ever confuse the feminine energy traits of softness for weakness. Softness allows us to become open and receptive, and this is a key ingredient for feminine magnetism. The fourth sign of a woman who is living from her feminine power is she has learned the art of trusting her own inner wisdom. A woman who is connected and tapped into her feminine energy knows the art of becoming quiet enough to drop within and to first explore, what does my body hold? What wisdom does my body have for me around this? And she uses that to support her, to guide her as she makes her decisions.
Instead of only relying on the logical and the linear mind, you are guided by your own inner knowing. Our minds are super, super helpful to be analytical and strategic about things, but when we rely only on our minds or on the advice of people outside of ourselves, we give our own power away. We give away our own authority and our own self agency. And so when we learn the skill of not relying solely on our mind, but also learning to drop into the body, to access this reservoir of power that is in here, this allows us to better hear and be able to respond to the voice of our inner knowing. The world wants us to stay in self-doubt because when we stay in self-doubt, we are powerless. But a woman who is rooted in her feminine power also knows that she is enough and that she can trust her own inner knowing to guide her and to follow as her north star and sign.
Number five of a woman who is living from her feminine power is that she knows her desires, she is in touch with her desires, and she can ask for what she wants. We can only ask for what we want once we know what that is. So many of us have been taught to believe that when we are following our own desires, when we follow our own pleasure, desires and pleasures that aren't harmful to others, we are selfish. It makes us bad girls, but I want you to know being in touch with your desires, living those desires out into the world, making sure that these desires are met and asking for what you need so that they can be met, this is part of how we keep ourselves turned on and lit up from within. And this is part of how we elevate not only our own lives, but the lives of everyone that we connect with.
