In this post we go into what exactly dark feminine energy is and 15 affirmations that you can use to call back your power as you channel your inner dark goddess.
Dark feminine energy is an aspect of the overall feminine and is often misunderstood as ‘negative’.
The dark feminine has been shunned by overly patriarchal systems and religions over time. As a result, we have been conditioned to believe that this powerful and mysterious force within us should be hidden away and suppressed.
As you probably know, we all have feminine and masculine energies that, when balanced, work together in harmony which overall leads to a deeper sense of fulfilment.
The commonly discussed traits of feminine energy are the ‘lighter’ aspects which are known to be receptive, nurturing, compassionate, etc…. but what exactly are the darker aspects of feminine energy?
The dark feminine is many things, you could agree that it is not something that can easily be placed into a box. To name a few examples, dark feminine energy is about prioritising pleasure, undeniably knowing our self worth and honouring our emotions… all of the emotions!
It can commonly be mistaken as wounded feminine energy and a way to appeal to men. A woman who is in touch with her dark feminine energy knows that there is no shame in wanting to appeal to a man (For example) but her core intentions are where the line gets drawn between disempowered and empowered energy.
She knows that she is complete as she is and is not afraid to exit a situation if it is not serving her best interests. She knows that she does not need to go out of her way to prove her worth because the feminine attracts what is for her. She knows she is magnetic as she is, authentically.
Dark feminine energy is about feeling your feelings and then acting accordingly, as opposed to acting impulsively on emotion. It is about accepting and honouring the full spectrum of emotions that we feel, especially the more ‘frowned upon’ emotions such as anger.
The dark feminine knows that her rage is sacred and that it is a formidable force that has the power to harm or transform a situation; she uses it wisely in conjunction with knowing that her energy and time are also sacred.
A woman harnessing the power of her inner dark feminine can be described as having an air of mystery to her, which is not to intentionally place mistrust in others but instead, it is about protecting her energy knowing that she does not have to be subservient to other’s expectations, demands or labels, she trusts in her intuition to lead her.
When we awaken to our dark feminine energy, we honour ourselves as multifaceted beings. We accept and begin the process of integrating the parts of ourselves that we have been taught to suppress and hide.
