Integrating the Dark Feminine

Integrating the Dark Feminine.

People pleasing era is over.

This past year, after stupid decisions, toxic relationships and self-betrayal, I have tapped into the Dark Feminine essence that lives within every Divine Feminine woman.

For years, I operated in my Light Feminine – that playful, nurturing, light, joyful girlish energy. It has served me well but I was not whole. There was another side to my feminine energy that I hadn’t accessed yet.

In this journey of self-discovery, I find that awakening certain parts of the multidimensional self come at a specific time, perhaps triggered by certain events that your soul chose for its growth.

Well, here she is. 

The Dark Feminine energy is powerful. It’s sultry, seductive and shadowy. It’s protective, fierce, confident and gives ‘no f*cks’ 

Leaning too far into either side of the spectrum can come with its own challenges. Too much into the light and you fail to assert yourself, can fall into people pleasing energy and react too childishly. Too much into the dark and it can be easy to disregard other people, their feelings and into bully territory.

The balance and integration of both is important for a wholistic life experience. There are situations where you need to tap into your light energy and others where you need that dark protective energy.

One day, I felt afraid to leave the house dressed how I wanted to. I was afraid of how people would perceive me. How my friends would react. I didn’t feel confident in expressing my authenticity because I was still worried about external opinions.

Don’t be afraid to show up in your life as the most authentic embodiment of your Truth. Showing up as your True Self may trigger the external world because it brings repressed ideas, beliefs and thoughts into their conscious mind. Set whatever boundaries you need to be safe. Leave a situation if your dark feminine energy isn’t strong enough to protect your light. This is not sustainable. You will need to hone that confidence and be strong as you progress in this journey. But in the beginning, do what is necessary. The external resistance you feel is because you no longer conform to a comfortable idea or box that people have subjected you to. You do not owe anyone the responsibility to fit into their ideas of you.

I came across a quote on social media that said: “If you don’t spend time getting to know yourself, you’ll end up absorbing everyone else’s random and conflicting ideas about you. Knowing who you are on a very deep and intimate level is the best way to protect yourself from internalizing disempowering opinions from others”. 

Focus on your own Truth. Falsities fade away and the right people, experiences and opportunities will rise and show up in your experience. It is a simultaneous experience of life and death. Parts of you will fall away. The masks that you had to wear to protect your Truth. But as the world progresses on this particular timeline, there is no more room for hiding or disempowering yourself. The world will only change when we shift our internal energies. Hold strong to your core essence. Show up as you are. The world will begin to change. And we will collectively choose the future that is meant for us. A future that is filled with union, joy, peace and abundance for all. 

Uplift yourself so you can lift up the world. Come into internal wholeness so that the world may be whole.

Good luck.
