Why Embodying the Divine Feminine Is So Difficult (and So Necessary)

by Divine FeminineEnergy MedicineFeatured

There’s a reason people are talking about the Divine Feminine again. But there’s also a reason many still can’t feel her.

She’s become a symbol—shared widely, spoken of often, and misunderstood more than ever. For some, she’s a cultural reference. For others, she’s an archetype. But in truth, she’s an energy. And unless that energy is lived, everything else becomes performance.

The challenge is that embodiment doesn’t happen by accident. It requires a nervous system that knows how to soften. A body that’s been given permission to feel. A spiritual path that includes the lower chakras, not just the upper ones. And for many, those conditions have never been modeled.

Feminine embodiment is not difficult because it’s elusive. It’s difficult because we’ve been taught to fear everything it requires.

And unless those blocks are addressed, no amount of intention will shift the field.

This isn’t a passing conversation. This isn’t something to “try on.” Embodying the Divine Feminine is not a phase. It’s the foundation of everything that sustains us—energetically, emotionally, relationally, collectively.

And reclaiming her now isn’t about joining a movement. It’s about restoring what was deliberately stripped away.

Let’s begin with why it feels so hard.

Most people don’t trust what their body tells them.

You can speak about the sacred, you can create ritual, you can lead others through intuitive work. But if your own body doesn’t feel like a safe place to live, then the Divine Feminine won’t land there.

She doesn’t speak in language. She speaks in rhythm. In sensation. In breath. In the flicker of awareness between inhale and exhale. And for many, the body is not a place of safety. It’s a site of control, management, suppression. A place that’s been shaped by expectation and disconnected from permission.

When the nervous system is braced, no amount of sacred language can override the signal that says: it’s not safe to be here.

That’s the first block.

The second is performance.

Even in spiritual spaces, especially in spiritual spaces, performance thrives. You learn the language. You follow the rhythm. You wear the look. But embodiment isn’t aesthetic. It isn’t style. It’s not how you present yourself in ceremony. It’s what your field is doing when no one is watching.

The Divine Feminine isn’t impressed by image. She meets you when you’re quiet. She meets you when you’re honest. She meets you when you stop trying to convince and start learning to receive.

She doesn’t respond to performance. She waits for presence.

And presence is harder to hold than most people realize.

The third block is cultural.

We live in a world that rewards hyper-functioning. The over-giver gets praised. The self-sacrificer gets admired. The one who keeps producing, even when her system is collapsing, gets called strong.

The Divine Feminine dismantles that entirely.

She doesn’t value how much you can carry. She values how well you can listen. She doesn’t reward productivity. She responds to alignment. She doesn’t move in a straight line. She spirals, waits, circles back, unfolds when the time is right.

And for people who’ve been conditioned to equate rest with failure, softness with weakness, and slowing down with laziness… her energy feels foreign, even threatening.

That’s why it’s so difficult. And that’s exactly why it’s needed.

Because the cost of staying out of the body, the cost of staying in the performance, the cost of staying in overdrive… is spiritual disconnection.

The truth is, the Divine Feminine never left. She was driven underground. She was cut out of texts. Rewritten in myth. Removed from power.

But energy doesn’t disappear. It waits.

And now she’s re-entering the field because what followed her has failed. The structures built without her are cracking. And the longing you feel—for depth, for slowness, for truth that can’t be faked—is a sign that her frequency is reawakening in you.

But recognizing her is not enough. You have to rebuild your system to receive her.

You have to unlearn the reflex to perform. You have to repattern the nervous system that stays on guard. You have to become a safe place for the sacred to land.

And that isn’t something you do with theory. It’s something you do with energy.

That’s what Awaken the Divine Feminine was created for.

This course isn’t a collection of ideas. It’s a live, seven-week journey into the body, into the field, into the very energy most people try to imitate but never fully experience.

Each week, you’ll work with a different expression of the feminine—not just in concept, but in practice. Isis. Guanyin. Gaia. Mary Magdalene. Kuan Yin. Archetypes, yes, but also living frequencies. Energies that shift how you breathe, how you hold yourself, how you respond to life.

This isn’t something to add to your library. This is something that recalibrates your energy system.

If you’ve felt the pull of this work but haven’t started, you’re not late. We are in the midst of a collective awakening here at the Deborah King Center, and you can join us. Right Now.

The Divine Feminine doesn’t require perfection. She asks for your presence.

If you’re ready to move through the blocks… if you’re tired of spiritual performance… if your system is longing for something real…

This is the next step.

Join us now at DeborahKing.com/divine

Because embodiment isn’t about how you look. It’s about how you live.

And the Divine Feminine is waiting. Not to be understood.

But to be remembered.

Embodiment vs. Performance: How the Divine Feminine Actually Moves

by Divine FeminineEnergy MedicineFeatured

When Sacred Becomes Surface

It’s one thing to speak of the Divine Feminine. It’s another to let her move through you.

In recent years, spiritual language has become easy to mimic. There are phrases now so familiar they roll off the tongue before they ever touch the body. Words like sacred, embodiment, feminine power—often used, rarely lived.

The rise of spiritual performance has created a new kind of dissonance. One where the outer form appears aligned, but the energy beneath it tells a different story.

You can learn the language of feminine wisdom. You can arrange the altar. Light the candle. Say the invocation. But unless your energy is aligned… it’s performance.

And performance doesn’t move anything.

 

The Energy You Can’t Fake

True feminine embodiment is subtle. It doesn’t demand attention. It doesn’t ask to be recognized. It shapes the space around it. Quietly. Permanently.

You’ve likely felt it before.
It’s the moment you sit with someone and your nervous system begins to calm… not because of what they’re saying, but because of how they’re being. Their field is doing the work.

They’re not performing presence. They are present.

This is how the Divine Feminine operates. She doesn’t speak to impress. She speaks to transmit. She doesn’t lead with strategy. She leads with frequency.

 

The Cost of Performing the Sacred

Many spiritual seekers bypass this entirely. They mistake aesthetic for alignment. They substitute language for lived experience.

But embodiment isn’t a costume. It doesn’t arrive with perfect language or curated stillness. It comes when your energy field and your choices are in agreement. When your words are born from integration, not theory.

Feminine energy does not rush. It doesn’t chase. It doesn’t coerce. It listens. It receives. It responds when the time is right.

And when it moves through a body…The result is unmistakable.

Embodiment Is Not a Role—It’s a Frequency

To embody the Divine Feminine is to live from resonance, not reaction. It is to feel the rhythm of your inner world and honor it, even when the outer world demands something different.

It shows up in how you breathe during conflict. In how you allow silence in a conversation. In the way your body says yes or no before your mind explains it.

This isn’t about performance. This is about being willing to let the sacred change how you live.

The Subtle Markers of Embodiment

But many don’t know what that feels like. They’ve learned to recite rather than receive. To carry the language of feminine energy without letting it land in the womb, in the heart, in the root.

Without slowing down long enough to let it settle into the nervous system, most people stay in their heads, disconnected from the very thing they say they’re calling in.

You can’t embody what you haven’t made space for.

The Divine Feminine is not a performance. She’s not interested in appearances. She doesn’t care about how well you articulate her.

She listens for your readiness. She watches how you treat your own softness. She notices when you slow down enough to let the sacred enter the body.

Because that’s where she lives. Not in language. In rhythm. Not in posture. In presence. Not in appearance. In alignment.

The Gap You Feel Is Real

If you’ve been feeling the difference…

If you’ve noticed that something is off in the way you’re holding your practice…

If you’re sensing that there’s more to this path than what you’ve been taught…

You’re not imagining it.

That gap you feel? That’s the space between performance and embodiment.

And it’s time to close it.

The Course That Meets You in the Body

That’s why Deborah created Awakening the Divine Feminine.

This 7-week live course is not about mimicking spiritual presence. It’s about becoming it.

Each week, you’ll work with a different feminine archetype—Gaia, Magdalene, Isis, Guanyin, and others—not just in theory, but through direct energy activation, live sessions, and guided integration.

This isn’t a course you consume. It’s one you live inside.

You’ll practice not just speaking of the feminine, but letting her guide your decisions. Not just learning her names, but walking with her in your daily life. Not just understanding the archetypes, but feeling them reshape your nervous system.

The Divine Feminine doesn’t want your performance. She wants your attention. Your presence. Your willingness to change.

And when you give her that, she transforms everything.

Why Feminine Energy Is the Missing Ingredient in Most Healing Work

by Divine FeminineEnergy MedicineFeatured

In a culture obsessed with logic and productivity, even healing has become something to “do.” We set goals. We track progress. We turn inward—but still expect results on a timeline. We approach transformation like it’s a checklist.

And in that pursuit, something gets lost.

Because healing, in its deepest form, isn’t linear. It isn’t mechanical. It doesn’t respond well to pressure or schedules. It unfolds. It breathes. It listens.

That missing ingredient? It’s feminine energy.

The Masculine Tilt in Modern Spirituality

Even in sacred spaces, we’ve absorbed the same imbalance that exists everywhere else. Healing is often framed as a process of action, analysis, and outcome. We want to understand, label, and fix.

But understanding doesn’t always lead to integration.

You can talk about your wounds for years. You can trace your patterns back to childhood, name every emotional trigger, and still find yourself stuck.

Because naming a wound isn’t the same as releasing it.

And most healing spaces bypass the body. They bypass the slow. The nonlinear. The intuitive. They bypass the feminine.

What Happens Without the Feminine Energy

When feminine energy is missing, healing feels like effort. Like something that has to be figured out.

Clients “do the work” but feel no relief. They show up, over and over, and nothing quite lands.

Because healing isn’t meant to be driven from the mind. It’s meant to emerge from the body.

The feminine doesn’t rush. She doesn’t answer to logic. She moves in spirals, not straight lines. She teaches through silence, sensation, rhythm.

Without her, healing stays in the head. And what stays in the head doesn’t shift the energy field.

What Feminine Energy Feels Like in Healing

It’s not passive. It’s potent.

Feminine energy doesn’t push—it draws in. It creates a field of safety, of softness, where truth rises unforced.

It’s the moment a client bursts into tears without knowing why. The moment the body exhales for the first time in months. The moment an insight arrives, not because it was chased, but because it was allowed.

It’s spaciousness.

It’s presence.

It’s being willing to sit in the not-knowing, trusting that the answer will arrive when the system is ready to receive it.

This is what most healing modalities are missing—not tools, not knowledge, but permission to slow down. To feel. To follow energy rather than control it.

Why So Many Practitioners Miss It

We’ve been taught to distrust the feminine.

We were told feelings make us weak. That softness is dangerous. That stillness is laziness.

So we harden. We over-intellectualize. We spiritualize to avoid embodiment.

And when we do, we miss the part of healing that knows how to go deeper than our conscious minds will ever reach.

This is why the Divine Feminine is rising now—because our systems can’t take any more force.

We don’t need more effort. We need energetic alignment.

Feminine Energy Heals from the Inside Out

The Divine Feminine doesn’t show up in a textbook. She shows up in the room. In the field. In the moment.

She shows up when a space is created for the body to feel safe enough to let go.

She shows up when the practitioner can sense what’s needed without needing to fix.

She shows up when we stop trying to lead healing and instead let healing lead.

This is not weakness. It is a return to the original medicine.

And it’s time.

Awakening the Divine Feminine Is the Next Step

If you’ve felt like your healing work is missing something, if you’ve sensed that there’s a depth you haven’t quite accessed, it may not be about learning more.

It may be about reconnecting with what you’ve forgotten.

That’s what Awakening the Divine Feminine is for.

The Divine Feminine and the Nervous System: What No One Is Talking About

by Divine FeminineEnergy MedicineFeatured

In modern spirituality, we hear a lot about alignment, intuition, embodiment. Words like feminine energy float across social media and land softly… vaguely. But rarely do we speak of where this energy lives, how it’s held, or what happens when it’s been locked down for decades.

The nervous system doesn’t come up in most conversations about the Divine Feminine. And that’s the problem.

Because, whether you are male or female, you don’t awaken your feminine energy in your mind. You awaken it in your body. And specifically, in your nervous system.

The Forgotten Pathway

The feminine is not a concept. It is a current.

It pulses through the body like a river, moving in spirals, not straight lines. It doesn’t respond to logic. It responds to safety.

If the nervous system is locked in survival—fight, flight, freeze, or collapse—you will not feel intuition clearly. You will not trust yourself. You will not soften into the sacred. You may want to. You may try. But your body will say no.

And this is not a failure of discipline. It is a failure of integration.

The Divine Feminine cannot rise in a body that has not been taught to feel safe.

Why You Can’t Access the Feminine When You’re Braced

Think of how often both men and women are told to hustle, strive, perform, compete. From childhood, most of us are taught to mistrust stillness. To devalue rest. To override what we feel in favor of what we’re told to do.

Eventually, this creates a body that is constantly braced. The shoulders curl forward. The belly pulls in. The jaw tightens. And underneath that armor is a nervous system that has learned, unconsciously, to associate softness with danger.

You cannot awaken the feminine when you’re holding your breath.

And yet… this is how most people are moving through the world.

The Feminine Requires a Regulated Body

The feminine is receptive. She listens. She feels. She expands. She moves in rhythm with energy, emotion, intuition.

But when the nervous system is dysregulated, these gifts are dulled. The body stays in protection mode. It anticipates threat. It stays vigilant instead of open.

So even when a man or a woman wants to tap into their intuition, or feels drawn to explore their healing gifts, their body might shut down before they can access them.

Not because their blocked.

But because their braced.

Braced for judgment. Braced for rejection. Braced for a world that, for centuries, told us that our feminine side is weak.

This Isn’t Just Trauma. It’s Conditioning.

While trauma certainly plays a role, much of this bracing comes from cultural programming. We’ve been taught that rest is laziness. That emotions are inconvenient. That boundaries are selfish. That saying no is mean.

So the body becomes trained to accommodate. To abandon its own knowing. To silence its own rhythm.

Over time, this internal override becomes a kind of spiritual amnesia. The body forgets how to receive.

And the Divine Feminine, who is always speaking through sensation, gets quieter. Not because it’s gone, but because the signal cannot get through the static.

Reawakening Begins in the Body

To truly awaken the Divine Feminine, we must return to the body as temple, not obstacle.

We must invite the nervous system to soften. To settle. To release its grip.

And this is where energy healing becomes essential.

Because energy doesn’t just live in the chakras. It lives in the fascia. The breath. The pulse. The space between thoughts.

When energy is moved intentionally—gently, lovingly, without force—the body begins to remember. It remembers the rhythms of the feminine. The spiral. The flow. The sense of being held rather than doing the holding.

From this space, the nervous system calms. The intuitive channels reopen. The feminine voice gets louder.

Not in the mind. In the body.

An Invitation to Awaken the Feminine Within You

If this speaks to you, whether you are a man or a woman—if something in your body is stirring as you read—then we invite you to go deeper.

Deborah King’s 7-week live course, Awakening the Divine Feminine, was created as a sacred initiation into this forgotten power.

You will not simply learn about your feminine side. You will experience it.

In this course, you will:

  • Work directly with the energy of feminine archetypes and lineages, including Mary Magdalene, Kuan Yin, and the priestess paths that were buried but never gone.
  • Receive live weekly transmissions and activations to reconnect you with your intuition, your healing gifts, and your deepest inner knowing.
  • Learn to soften the bracing in your body—so you can feel safe, grounded, and energetically alive.
  • Reclaim your power not by pushing harder, but by realigning with the energy that has always belonged to you.

Classes begin April 10th at 9am PDT, and there is still time to join us at early bird pricing.

Your body remembers. Your energy is waiting. And the Divine Feminine is already rising.

The only question is… will you be ready?

The Sacred Feminine & Energy Healing: The Connection You’ve Been Missing

by Divine FeminineEnergy MedicineFeatured

For centuries, energy healing has been misunderstood, fragmented, stripped of its deeper origins. Many approach it as something mechanical—a technique to be learned, a process to follow, a series of steps to memorize. But true healing has never been about formulas.

At its core, healing is an act of the Divine Feminine.

It is fluid, intuitive, rooted in the unseen. It moves through presence, through alignment, through deep receptivity. It is not forced—it is allowed. And for too long, this energy has been suppressed.

The result? A spiritual landscape that often feels incomplete. People searching for healing but unable to fully access it. Practices that feel like they should work, but don’t touch the deeper layers. A world filled with seekers who feel like something is missing—but can’t quite name it.

That missing piece is the Divine Feminine.

Feminine Energy Healing: The Power That Was Suppressed

The presence of feminine energy in healing was once woven into every aspect of life. It was understood that healing was not just about removing pain or restoring balance—it was about connection, about remembering, about deepening one’s relationship to the sacred.

The priestesses of ancient temples worked with the rhythms of the moon, the cycles of nature, the pulse of energy that flows through all living things. They understood that healing is not linear—it is cyclical, spiraling, ever-deepening.

But as time passed, these traditions were silenced, rewritten, erased.

The sacred connection between the body, the spirit, and the unseen was severed. Healing became something external rather than something embodied.

The natural wisdom of the Divine Feminine—the ability to attune, to sense, to work with energy rather than against it—was dismissed as unreliable, irrational, unscientific.

And yet, despite centuries of suppression, this wisdom never disappeared. It remained in those who carried it within their bones. It whispered through generations, waiting for the time when it could rise again.

That time is now.

 

Why This Energy Is Returning Now

Something is shifting. People are waking up. The feminine energy of healing is re-emerging, not as an abstract concept, but as a living force.

For those who have felt disconnected from their own healing… who have sensed that the methods they’ve tried aren’t reaching the deeper layers… who know there is something more but have not yet found it…

This is why.

Because healing is not meant to be a formula. It is meant to be an experience. It is meant to be felt, received, embodied. It is meant to be lived.

Feminine healing energy does not demand. It invites. It does not push. It magnetizes. It does not force. It aligns.

And those who are ready for this return are already feeling the call.

Your Invitation to Reclaim the Divine Feminine

If you have sensed that your healing practice, your spiritual path, or your personal transformation has been missing something essential—this is your invitation.

In Awakening the Divine Feminine, you will not just learn about feminine energy healing. You will experience it.

This course is an initiation into:

  • The ancient feminine healing traditions that were erased from history—and why they are returning now.
  • How to activate your intuitive gifts and work with energy in a way that is natural, effortless, and aligned with your soul’s wisdom.
  • The lost rhythms of feminine energy, including how to heal yourself and others without depletion, struggle, or resistance.
  • Sacred feminine healing practices that will transform not just how you work with energy, but how you move through the world.

This is not a training in techniques. It is a transmission of a way of being.

If you are ready to step into a deeper, more soul-aligned connection with energy healing—one that honors the wisdom of the Divine Feminine—you are invited to join us.

The feminine is not returning. She has already arrived. The question is, will you answer?

Mary Magdalene and the Essence of the Divine Feminine

by Divine FeminineEnergy MedicineFeaturedWomen

In the tapestry of spiritual history, few figures evoke as much intrigue and reverence as Mary Magdalene. For centuries, her story has been shrouded in mystery, misrepresentation, and suppression. Yet today, she is being rediscovered as a beacon of divine wisdom, resilience, and the sacred feminine.

Mary Magdalene is not merely a historical figure; she is an archetype, a symbol of spiritual transformation, and an inspiration for those seeking alignment with their highest selves. She teaches us that the path to enlightenment is not linear. It is deeply personal, requiring strength, grace, and a willingness to embrace the unknown.

The Sacred Feminine: A Force of Balance and Healing

Mary Magdalene embodies the qualities of the divine feminine. Compassion, intuition, and transformation. Her story reminds us of the importance of balance in a world that often prioritizes logic over emotion, action over reflection. The divine feminine is not a relic of ancient spirituality; it is a living energy, present within us all, calling us to reconnect with our hearts.

In her time, Mary Magdalene stood as a counterbalance to the often patriarchal structures of her society. She served as a spiritual guide, a healer, and a devoted seeker of truth. Her story teaches us that embracing the divine feminine is not about rejecting the masculine but integrating both energies to create wholeness.

Modern spiritual texts like Megan Watterson’s Mary Magdalene Revealed highlight this balance. Watterson delves into the Gospel of Mary, a long-suppressed text that reveals Mary Magdalene as a teacher of deep spiritual truths. In these teachings, Mary emphasizes the importance of inner work, self-awareness, and the power of the soul to transcend earthly challenges.

A Sacred Partnership: Mary Magdalene and Jesus

The relationship between Mary Magdalene and Jesus was far more profound than many traditional narratives suggest. While she is often portrayed as a follower, modern interpretations paint her as an equal partner in spiritual work.

In The Magdalen Manuscript by Tom Kenyon and Judi Sion, Mary Magdalene is depicted as a priestess and a practitioner of sacred traditions. Her role was to help anchor the divine feminine energy alongside Jesus’s teachings. Together, they modeled the sacred union of masculine and feminine energies, demonstrating the power of balance in spiritual practice.

Her story is not just a historical account. It is a guide for those who seek to integrate spiritual truths into their own lives. By following her example, we can learn to heal our wounds, align with our purpose, and step into our divine potential.

Lessons for the Modern Seeker

Mary Magdalene’s teachings are as relevant today as they were centuries ago. Her journey speaks to anyone who has ever felt misunderstood, overlooked, or out of place in the world. She reminds us that transformation begins within, and that the path to enlightenment requires courage, self-compassion, and an open heart.

In embracing the essence of the divine feminine, we reconnect with the qualities that bring balance and harmony to our lives. These qualities include:

  • Intuition: Trusting the inner voice that guides us toward truth and alignment.
  • Compassion: Offering love and understanding to ourselves and others, even in the face of challenges.
  • Resilience: Rising above adversity and using it as a catalyst for growth.

Mary’s teachings challenge us to look inward, to embrace our vulnerabilities, and to transform them into sources of strength. They remind us that the journey to wholeness is not about perfection, but about authenticity.

The Sutras and Mary Magdalene’s Legacy

The ancient teachings of the Sutras align beautifully with Mary Magdalene’s story. Both offer practical tools for spiritual awakening and the cultivation of divine energy. The Sutras provide a framework for accessing higher consciousness, releasing emotional blockages, and deepening your connection to Source.

Mary Magdalene’s life exemplifies these teachings. Her path was one of self-discovery, healing, and alignment with divine purpose. By studying the Sutras, modern seekers can tap into the same transformative energy that Mary embodied, unlocking their potential for spiritual growth and inner peace.

Join Us to Explore Mary Magdalene’s Teachings

Mary Magdalene’s story is an invitation to awaken the divine feminine within you. It’s a call to balance, to healing, and to the realization of your soul’s highest purpose.

We Are Not Going Back

by AdvocacyDivine FeminineFeaturedSocial Activism

I’ve been teaching energy medicine and spiritual sustenance for over four decades. Last week, we watched both energy and spirit manifest spectacularly when a high-profile United States Presidential candidate harnessed and highlighted our nation’s most idealistic goals. This is a moment when the “divine feminine” interfaced with the “divine masculine” to create a synergy that simply does not exist outside the “divinity” matrix. I bring this up because the energy/spirit shift has been so swift this past week that it has become a critical moment for us all.

I teach individuals across the political spectrum – what follows is not about politics; my thoughts have nothing to do with party. I’m an independent – I don’t vote along party lines, I vote for the individual who can best do the job. With that said, I’m especially ardent about women’s rights, having walked across coals to protect my own and other women in that regard. So I don’t care where you stand as long as you care about women as much as I do. And today I take up my pen because women’s rights are on the table: we have already lost our right to make decisions about our own body that should be a matter only between ourselves and our doctor, not the government. Now, if we fail to take action, we also stand to lose our rights to no-fault divorce, child-care for women who work, even the concept of women working at all!

Contrast that to Kamala Harris, who is all in for women. She is a phenomenon not only because she’s a woman running for the highest office in the land, but because she telegraphs a distinctive yin/yang vibe. She comes across clearly as both an adept prosecutor (divine masculine energy) and an advocate/protector (divine feminine energy). I relate because (full disclosure) I too am a former prosecutor, and that role prepares you to move mountains when you are confronted, as we are today, with the loss of liberties women and other marginalized groups face.

Women Are Elevated to Powerful Positions to Complete, not to Compete

For the most part, women leaders have been venerated for their compassionate, coherent, and collaborative discourse and actions. The most memorable among them have relied upon a combo of the divine masculine and feminine aspects of their nature to guide them to help their families, their clan, their tribe.

Women are culturally encouraged to serve as nurturers, caregivers, and multitaskers. And because we are the gender from which future generations arise, we are uniquely in touch with the progeny that we and other women produce.

Thus, a good mother is “pregnant forever”— that is, for the rest of her life, her heart beats both inside and outside her body: within her children, whether they are biological children or (contrary to the assertions of a Vice-Presidential nominee that I and Kamala are nothing more than “childless cat ladies”) the kind of children I have raised – books I have painfully birthed, students I have laboriously mothered, causes I have lovingly fostered. Because of this, women are far less likely to put people’s progeny (their own or anyone else’s) in harm’s way for anything less than truly existential threats. They will put themselves in harm’s way to further a cause or to defend others (examples: Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriet Tubman, aviatrix Amelia Earhart, women’s rights advocate Malala Yousafzai, astronaut Mae Jemison, and countless others), but rarely has a woman leader sent soldiers into battle for anything less than a truly-existential cause.

There have been countless heroic women across the centuries of recorded history, from the pre-Christian matriarchal societies I’ve taught and written about so much, to Mary Magdalene, to Joan of Arc, to today’s cadre of environmental and social justice advocates.

What sets most activist women apart from activist men is that when women do achieve leadership roles, they most frequently serve; any political power they gain is leveraged to benefit as many citizens as possible, as opposed to simply benefiting themselves and their cronies and chums.

For many women, life—like politics—is the passionate pursuit of the possible.

Men Are Elevated to Powerful Positions to Compete, not to Complete

Contrast that dynamic to the history of most men in political power. Although a number of America’s most venerated leaders have been true statesmen and public servants — George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, and Martin Luther King come readily to mind — male politicians are rarely elevated by their respective followers for purely altruistic purposes (in our parlance, for their divine masculine characteristics).

Compare the male pursuit of power, which is founded in patriarchy and hierarchy (think caste, status, and class, all patriarchal concepts); at its essence, ego- and testosterone-driven. This type of older vision carries a gladiator’s spirit and energy onto the political battlefield. As a result, for far too many men, politics is engaged in as a type of warfare: there must be decisive victories and vanquished losers. This kind of thinking brings to mind the energy of men like Putin in the Ukraine and Netanyahu in Gaza.

So, after giving careful, calculated thought to what is at stake for our nation’s and our world’s future depending on which candidates emerge in charge in 100 days, I’m adding “2024 election activities” to my already insanely jam-packed schedule to help ensure that Kamala Harris becomes our next president of the United States.

And I’m not alone. Women and men are leaping from the sidelines to work their fingers and feet off for the next 100 days for a woman candidate who is seeking the highest office in the land that they can really believe in – finally! An enthusiasm that has been sadly lacking for a long time has arrived on the scene – the excitement is palpable.

Why I’m Endorsing and Supporting Kamala Harris

It has become crystal clear to me that Kamala Harris is exactly who she is and where she needs to be at this crucial juncture in our nation’s history. She is fully conscious and keenly aware of what’s at stake: well-spoken and insightful, she is a compassionately fierce advocate for women’s bodily autonomy and reproductive health care issues including abortion, IVF, and birth control. And as a former prosecutor and Attorney General, she will fiercely defend women’s rights across the board.

During my life, I have never witnessed a time in our nation’s history more in need of our precious attention and activism, not just on Election Day on November 5, but on every day between now and then. The stakes have never been higher for women and for every other marginalized, frequently denigrated demographic. As Kamala so passionately put it, “We are not going back!”

No matter which side of the political spectrum you’re on, you can feel that what just happened has cast a crucial spotlight on what a boost in energy and spirit can do to create the forward momentum necessary to succeed in every area of our lives, and that it behooves us all to join together to preserve the few gains that have been made for the fairer sex before we are forced back to the Handmaid’s Tale way of life.

PLUS, tonight, Monday, July 29, 2024, at 7:00pm EDT, join me to hear from extraordinary women like model Christie Brinkley, actress Jamie Lee Curtis, and singer Barbra Streisand, all in support of Harris.

Five Ways to Bring Healing and Grace Back into Your Life

by Divine FeminineFeatured
Healing and Grace

Never underestimate the power of a change of seasons to awaken your spirit. Last week, we officially crossed over into a new season, as “Old Man Winter” loosened his grip on the weather of the northern hemisphere and made way for the feminine touch of spring. From ancient times, humans have regarded spring as a female persona bringing with her a rebirth of light, warmth, new growth, and new life. You too are eager to welcome an infusion of the Divine Feminine, the gifts of the feminine face of God. The long sleep of winter melts away, and you open yourself to the possibilities for hope and healing that a new season brings.

There’s so much work to be done as you look around you. The gifts of the Divine Feminine are needed to bring harmony, peace, balance, love, and compassion to a troubled world. The powers of the feminine spirit live in both men and women and can be cultivated like spring flowers. If you use them first to heal your inner world, you can bring them forth to help, heal, save, and rescue the outer world in every way you can imagine. What would you do with the power of your Divine Feminine connection?

Bring food to starving children, shelter the homeless (and nation-less), end war, comfort and heal the sick, the suffering, and the heartbroken?

The possibilities are as vast as the universe, but where do you begin? Step one is small and close to home. First, you need enough power to stand up and put your own life back on track. Look within and wake up your connection to the Divine Feminine, the flowing energy of unconditional love. Plug in to that power with your inner resources and you can begin to channel a life-changing, world-changing force for healing and grace.  Learn to make your inner light a match for the heavenly light that calls to you!

Here are five ways to wake up your spirit this spring and call forth the gifts waiting to bloom within:

1. Nurture— Take care of the miraculous living being who is you. Are you a loving parent to your inner child, treating yourself with kindness, compassion, and patience? Are you considerate of your physical needs for proper nutrition, adequate sleep, and regular exercise? Do you love and appreciate yourself and respect the awesome gift of life? Do you practice feeling gratitude for all your experiences, lessons, and blessings?

Healing and Grace

2. Heal— How do you create wellness and wholeness within? Do you have a regular practice for connecting to Source? I believe that the best practices for increasing your light and keeping your psyche healthy are meditation and prayer. Try to meditate for 20 minutes twice a day and connect to Source through whatever form of prayer is most meaningful for you, whether it be contemplation, affirmations, music, art, or moving your body. Connecting to a power greater than yourself eases pain, anxiety, fear, and creates inner peace.

3. Grow—How often do you see the sky, touch the earth, and gaze at distant mountains? You are part of the ever-growing, changing, and expanding world of Nature, even though modern technology tries to suggest otherwise. Stress comes from being ungrounded, when you lose your connection to Mother Earth. Happiness and peace come from immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, scents, and textures of the outdoors. Without regular exposure to nature, you lose the feeling of belonging to something larger than your small self. Watching a flower sprout and bloom inspires your spirit to grow!

Healing and Grace

4. Express—Do you look within and strive to understand and appreciate your thoughts and feelings? Do you find ways to express your unique experience of life? Keeping a daily journal helps you develop the ability to express yourself. Recording ideas and impressions can help you find patterns in your thinking to help you know yourself. The more you know, the more you grow. As you grow in spirit, you will have the tools to express yourself, share your ideas, build and strengthen relationships. The more you discover about yourself, the more easily you’ll be able to connect and communicate.

5. Serve—Do you serve by placing a warm meal in front of a homeless veteran? Or by showing a struggling child how to read a story or solve a math problem? Do you visit the local shelter to play with the animals waiting for a loving home? Do you march for the rights of others to vote, work, worship, exist in peace and safety? Each act of service in the world begins with your inner sense of purpose and connection to your fellow beings and the Source of all that is. Your inner spiritual work creates inner peace which the world sees reflected as love, hope, and encouragement.

Healing and Grace

Let the spiritual power of the Divine Feminine help you to nurture, heal, grow, express, and serve this spring! Dedicated inner work is one of the primary ways you awaken your own powerful gifts. You become more patient and tolerant. Your intuition gets sharper, and you start to experience the loving qualities of your inner essence. With a regular practice of connecting to Source, whatever that may mean for you, you’ll suddenly find that there’s space for more light to come into your life and more light to share with the world!

If you are ready to take steps towards your personal evolution, transformation, and growth this Spring, be sure to take advantage of our special Spring Sale event, which is going on right now. You can access an array of Deborah’s most popular, bestselling, transformational on-demand courses at steep discounts. Pick the transformation(s) you’ll pursue today. Click here to learn more >>

The Divine Feminine: What the World Needs to Create a Just and Balanced Future

by AdvocacyDivine FeminineEnergy MedicineFeaturedSocialWomen

If you remember your early American history, you may recall a letter which Abigail Adams wrote to her husband John, who had finally managed to wrangle out of a cranky Congress a declaration of independence from Great Britain. Part of what Mrs. Adams wrote was this: “In the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.”

Apparently, Abigail’s letter fell on deaf ears. And that ladies’ rebellion she referenced? Well, it still hasn’t really happened. As a result, yesteryear’s women lived in the shadows. And sadly, today’s women haven’t yet walked entirely free of them. It has been an uphill climb, gals, there’s simply no skirting around that fact. (no pun intended ☺︎)

A key reason for this fact is that our academic and mass media-driven western cultural history has, until relatively recently, been entirely white male-defined and dominated. Only recently has there been any backlash against the authorities who ordained and established the practice of the male “white”-washing of history.

In school history books in the United States women, people of color, Native Americans, and non-European immigrants occupy the back seat behind the exploit of white men. That’s why we learned more about John Adams than his wife Abigail, more about Charles Lindbergh than Amelia Earhart, more about John, Robert, and Edward Kennedy than their wives, daughters, sisters or nieces who also dedicated their lives to public service, and more about the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. than his mother, Althea, who was also assassinated and a major influencer and contributor to the movement at the time.

In fact, among the scant few times when women’s activities have been mentioned in western histories are the instances in which they were accused (at the time) of behaving in an “unwomanly” manner (as witches, “possessed of the devil,” or as prostitutes, contrarians, or out-and-out insane). The homemakers, children raisers, and life partners of most men have come and gone from the world largely unheralded, undocumented, forgotten. I am reminded that my poor mother, may she rest in peace, had a terrible time keeping me in the Catholic boarding schools that she favored for high school. After I had been unceremoniously expelled from yet another high school, worse, in the final year, she arranged an interview for me at a prestigious school run by some nuns in San Francisco. My mother and I arrived, all white gloved and hatted for the interview, and the sisters suggested I go into a side room for half an hour and write a little piece on any topic I desired while they and mother had tea in the parlor. I brought my little piece back shortly after, and read it aloud: in it, I took the position that Joan of Arc was more than a saint – she was a transgender war hero, or whatever the polite word at the time was that would convey that concept. My mother and I were quickly escorted off the property and the next interview was at a decidedly not Catholic high school for young ladies of refinement.

Throughout our history, noteworthy women have (during their times) been egregiously mischaracterized as outlaws or outliers of patriarchal white society: from Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, and Rosa Parks, to Gertrude Stein, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and Jane Fonda. These women, as well, as other human rights and women’s advocates and activists, are often castigated as contrary, anti-patriarchy individuals because they dare to present themselves as equal members of, and contributors to, the human race. As singer/songwriter Caryl Simon wrote, “A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars.”

It is a sad fact that until the mid-20th century, outspoken women were frequently committed to mental hospitals for refusing to silence themselves and adhere to their male-designated second-class status. Among the reasons stated for committing women to asylums — are you ready for this? — were ill treatment by husband, intemperance, immoral life, jealousy, laziness, masturbation, suppressed masturbation ( that is, damned if you do, damned if you don’t!), novel reading, overaction of the mind, tobacco use, political excitement, excess religiosity, inadequate religiosity, loss of law suit, desertion of husband, bad habits, decoyed into the army, domestic trouble, epilepsy, excessive sexual abuse, women troubles, superstition, feebleness of intellect, and hard study. The list goes on, and most of it is similarly unbelievable. Freud originally announced to an alarmed male audience of fellow physicians that his research had revealed that most women who were accused of the crime of “hysterics,” were in fact victims of sexual abuse by a family member, most often, their own father. He was castigated so severely by his colleagues and threatened with the immediate end of his career for taking that position that he promptly retracted this position, never to voice it again.

If we have any doubts about the position of women, they didn’t even win the Constitutional right to vote across the United States until 1920. And the Equal Rights Amendment still sits in the wings, waiting to be enacted.

What western history books and Judeo-Christian holy books have neglected to mention (except to decry them as superstitious pagan cultures) is that there have been a great many matriarchal societies on Earth, and many patriarchal societies with female Goddesses. In passing, I should mention that the Vedic culture I’ve immersed myself in is one such heavily patriarchal society that, like Catholicism with its Mary figure, has many female gods that soften the story but don’t, in fact, give women any sort of equality in real time.

As a sad result, we’ve been taught far less than half of the human story, which has made far more than half the human population appear to be less consequential, less powerful, and therefore less visible than we instinctively know them to be, and which is why movies that correct the history books to include brave, valiant and powerful women, and why superhero movies like Mulan, Wonder Woman, and Black Widow, and why authors like Maya Angelou (the beloved author of the poem “And Still I Rise”) and researchers and scientists like Jane Goodall, Marie Curie, and Katherine Johnson, make us want to offer fist bumps and high fives to their high-profile notoriety and courageous contributions. As Marge Piercy once wrote, “A strong woman is a woman determined to do something others are determined shall not be done.”

Now is the perfect time to revisit The Divine Feminine and The Divine Masculine, two energies that exist in all of us and which (when balanced) create a culture in which everyone can thrive. These two energies are the perfect antidote to the toxic masculinity that has marginalized and minimized the contributions of literally billions of people across time and that is so visible today.

The Divine Feminine is a both a spiritual energy and a concept which serves as a counterbalance to the patriarchal historical and worship structures that dominate Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. The Divine Feminine goes beyond a single belief system, so it can be embraced by anyone who is interested in co-existing in peace with others.

Despite its gendered name, The Divine Feminine is an aspect of every human being, as is the Divine Masculine. These complementary energies exist in all of us humans. The Divine Feminine is characterized by receiving, doing, and acting in powerful, loving, and caring ways. (Mother Mary and Eleanor Roosevelt are representatives of this type of energy.)

The Divine Masculine, on the other hand, is characterized by giving, doing, and acting in powerful, loving, and caring ways. (Abraham Lincoln and the Dali Llama are representatives of this type of energy.)

But when masculine energy is toxic/aggressive, it goes beyond mere assertiveness, determination, and action- and goal-oriented practices, which all too often results in environmental degradation, societal segregation, and national disintegration.

The Divine Feminine, when it dominates or becomes toxic, although less destructive (because it isn’t driven to compete or to assert), allows phrases like “boys will be boys” and “as long as there are greedy people in high places, there will always be wars and injustice” to enter the vernacular to help convince ourselves that “it is what it is and no one can change it,” which is patently untrue and reduces the desire to work to make things better. The Divine Feminine is immensely powerful and change-making, but only when it’s named, claimed, and activated by intention.

Given this refreshing new perspective, the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine, when in balance, are the perfect solution to the troubles and challenges that face us as a species and as a planet.

Those of you familiar with Chinese philosophy will recognize the similarity to the yin and yang energies. The yin and yang symbol, in which the black and white shapes swirl into and out of each other instead of appearing as harshly bordered no-fly zones, show us in visual form that the divine masculine and feminine complement and balance each other. It is when one side dominates that a culture suffers from imbalance and injustice.

Again, masculine, and feminine energies are ever-present inside every individual, at every moment, everywhere on earth. When they’re divinely inspired by Spirit/Source, they work together to create cultures of lovingkindness and practices that restore and replenish the planet.

National divine feminine conversations and actions revolve around caring for the earth and its inhabitants (human and non-human), promoting racial and gender equity, and advocating universal health care. Each of these conversations and actions emphasize nurturing and creating balance within a supportive society built on lovingkindness and the recognition that other human beings exist and are rightful heirs to identical rights and needs, and that denying one is an abrogation of our responsibilities to care for all. Amy Tenney wrote, “The world needs strong women. Women who will lift and build up others, who will love and be loved, women who live bravely, both tender and fierce, women of indomitable will.”

And harking back to the wild, wild west, Calamity Jane said, “I figure, if a girl wants to be a legend, she better start now.”

That’s the spirit, and the formula! High vibrational energy, can-do/will do attitude, and pure intention – the three key ingredients to making sure the things happen that you want to have happen!

Calamity Jane by CE Finn, c1880s-crop.jpg

The Divine Feminine is active, loving, compassionate, and forward-looking. It anticipates the next best thing that can occur and works to ensure its fruition. It nurtures, fosters, and promotes wellbeing and lovingkindness. It doesn’t compete: it completes.

With that being said, to find balance in all aspects of your life, it is necessary to focus on both energies. And our bestselling Awakening the Divine Feminine course can help you do just that. If you’ve ever felt that something in your life just isn’t right – out of balance – then this might just be the solution that you’ve been searching for. Click here to learn more about this course >>

Three Ways to Honor the Wisdom of the Great Mother

by Divine FeminineFeatured

One of the wonderful things about Spring is that it really gets your attention. No matter how busy, distracted, or frazzled you’ve let yourself become, those first bright yellow daffodils wake you up and bring a smile to the most downcast souls. The blooming earth is calling you to take a joy and gratitude break. Just look at the marvels around you—the bright green leaves, the flowers, and the nesting birds—and consider the gifts you receive every day from the Great Mother, matriarch of this living, loving home.

Divine Feminine

Worshipped from ancient times in traditional cultures around the world, the Great Mother, Mother Earth, or Gaia, as she is also known, is the goddess of motherhood, fertility, creation, and the bounty of the natural world. She is the feminine counterpart of the Sky Father, of God the Father. The Great Mother shelters, nourishes, and sustains life.  She is the feminine face of God, and her powers are reflected in all the nurturing, healing, creative, and life-giving work that helps make this world a home. In its purest and most profound sense, “home” suggests peace, safety, belonging, solace, joy, sustenance, and empowerment. The Great Mother bestows all you need to live and thrive, to learn and grow, to heal and awaken.

  1. Strengthen the bonds of love – Think about your relationship with your fellow members of the human family. The Great Mother empowers and shelters life as it forms and grows. Just as you were nurtured and brought into the world by your own mother, so the Great Mother gives life to all creation. The protective love between family members makes life possible—whether these family members are your parents, siblings, friends, neighbors, or the people on the bus. All children of the Great Mother are family and share the same needs and aspirations. What are the relationships that nurture your life and how do you honor them? What can you do to send a message of love to your extended human family? Think about the spirit of the Buddhist prayer, “May I be filled with loving kindness.” How does that feeling take shape in your life as both a giver and a receiver of love?
Divine Feminine
Divine Feminine
  1. Keep learning how to heal, thrive and grow – One of the greatest gifts of mother love and the family bond is learning. Consider how much you’ve had to learn since arriving here as a helpless infant. Every day of life was a new experience as you grew and added to your knowledge and skills. As an adult, you began to direct and shape more and more of your learning. The realm of the Great Mother is all about growth and change. Just as the natural world blossoms with new life in the Spring, you are designed to discover new ways to grow in spirit by opening your heart and mind. What have you learned about who you are and why you are here? What are the talents, gifts, and abilities that define you? What can you do each day to foster your gifts, just as a loving mother fosters her child?
  1. Take loving action in the world – One of the Great Mother’s most important lessons is the tie that binds. Modern science is revealing what ancient wisdom always knew—that everything in this world is connected to and dependent upon everything else. The natural world, the web of life, is truly a web that can carry the vibrations of movement from one side to another distant side, from top to bottom. Cutting down the rain forests in Brazil affects the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which affects the melting of the polar ice caps which affects the sea levels around the world. Could it also be that the child you teach to read in Los Angeles will affect the future of the child in Nigeria who needs a desk and a book and a school? Why not? The interconnections of the natural world are exactly this miraculous. Whatever actions you take to provide loving service in the world will send forth ripples of healing energy. Choose a way to give service that matches your gifts (that brings you joy). It can be any helping action. Then imagine the ways in which this action could connect you to a distant positive outcome.
Divine Feminine

The wisdom of the Great Mother both shelters and challenges and so meets the needs of the human spirit. A loving mother provides the sustenance and security her child needs as well as encouraging growth and independence.  You can honor the wisdom of the Great Mother by honoring your gifts and using them with joy and gratitude to help heal the world. As you look up at the sky, down at the newly-green earth, and all around at the blooming energy of spring leaves and flowers, thank the Great Mother for her abiding love!

International Women's Day

Make Women’s Wellness a Habit Today & Every Day

by Divine FeminineFeaturedWomen

March 8, 2022 marks International Women’s Day. It is a day to celebrate women and their achievements. To celebrate womanhood. And here, we’d also like to celebrate the Divine Feminine. So, let’s discuss how one connects to this vital source of energy, and the different archetypes which embody the Divine Feminine.

Today, it is more crucial than ever to empower women to take great care of themselves. For centuries, women and their health choices have been under attack. The war on women is well underway, and your health is at risk. It is time for sensible men and women to unite to make women’s health a top priority not just during International Women’s day, but every single day!

International Women's Day

Women’s wellness includes physical, emotional, and spiritual support. Women tend to put their own wellbeing on hold for days, weeks, months, even years, while they struggle to balance work and family needs. All too often, as a result, their health gets neglected beyond the breaking point and they break down, making themselves unavailable to everyone. This is because far too many women don’t put themselves anywhere on their list of priorities.

If you’re among them— or if you know someone who is — here are some prudent tips on ways to take better care of yourself and the other overextended women in your life (including you!):

Physical Wellness: Take Care of Your Body

  • Visit your healthcare professional and encourage your women friends to visit their healthcare professional for regular checkups and preventive screenings.
International Women's Day
  • Adopt an active lifestyle. Take walks, exercise, try yoga or Pilates and other mind-body workouts that help you feel better physically even as they ground you and improve your emotional health.
International Women's Day
  • Consume healthy food and drink plenty of water. Proper nutrition plus drinking lots of water goes a long way toward taking good care of yourself.
  • Avoid unhealthy and risky behaviors and habits. Smoking, drinking alcohol and drugs, and the list goes on, for unhealthy behavior.

Emotional Wellness: Take Care of Your Emotions

  • Make daily meditation a part of your routine. Meditating even just once a day for twenty minutes will help calm your mind and establish your inner peace and sense of self. If you don’t know how to meditate, or would like to learn an amazing meditation technique to take your meditation moments to a deeper level, please check out my meditation download, available here.
International Women's Day
  • Get plenty of zzz’s. Sleep is critical for lowering your stress level. And here’s a hint: if you find yourself falling asleep during your meditation, you are probably not getting enough sleep. Give your mind and body enough rest to recuperate before you start conquering your next day’s to-do list.
International Women's Day
  • Manage your stress. Learn to say ‘no’ by establishing boundaries to curtail becoming overworked and over-stressed. No one else can look out for you better than you can. You know what you’re feeling. Pay attention and establish prudent limits to your availability.
  • Do something that brings joy to your life. Think about activities or hobbies you love, or people you love to see who make you happy – and then make a point to follow through.

Spiritual Wellness: Take Care of Your Higher Self and Connect to Source

  • Reconnect with your higher self by reconnecting with Mother Nature. Walks through parks, on hiking trails, or by the ocean; all are great places to reconnect with your higher self and with Source. Experience and appreciate what nature offers to feel closer to Source. Try sleeping under the stars, a canopy of trees, or beneath billowy white (dry) clouds to get a big dose of nature whenever and wherever these options present themselves to you. (If they don’t present themselves, go out and find them. Nature beckons, and beguiles you to wanting more, whenever you give it a chance.)
  • Journal or record your thoughts and emotions on phone or iPad or laptop. Writing is one of the most powerful and uplifting tools there is to find your inner truth. When you can be 100% honest with yourself, you can be honest with the world and connect better to Source and others.

4 Individuals Who Balance the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine

by CelebritiesDivine FeminineFeatured

The Divine Feminine. Our nurturing, caring, championing Goddess force lives within all of us, beating as a beautiful source of warmth and love throughout our veins. She is wisdom. She is timeless. And she is present within all of us.

The Divine Masculine. Our protection. Our valor. Our wisdom that grants calm and gravitas through all of us, pulsing as divine light throughout our neurons. He too is wisdom. He too is timeless. And he is present within us all.

All of us have the ability to tap into our Divine Masculinity and Femininity. How? Perhaps by first seeing who among us has brought their own Divine Masculine or Feminine to the forefront. Let’s follow the path of those who radiate divinity.

Here are some examples of those that emanate these qualities.

  1. Malala Yousafzai

    Malala Yousafzai is a tireless advocate for women’s education, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and a survivor. Raised in Pakistan, she chronicled her experiences living under the Taliban for the BBC – a fierce and brave voice against a repressive force of darkness. As she raised her voice, and with it the disinfectant of sunlight, darkness against her rose. Death threats became frequent. She remained undeterred. In 2012, she was shot after taking an exam. She was treated in Peshawar and the United Kingdom, where multiple surgeries saved her life.

    After the attack, she doubled down on her activism, opening schools for young women and creating education initiatives such as “books, not bullets.” For her activism, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. Malala radiates the nurturing, empathetic drive to educate that is the hallmark of the Divine Feminine. And she carries the lion’s strength of the Divine Masculine. She is a tenacious and remarkable woman.

  2. Lin-Manuel Miranda

    Playwright, actor, musician, activist – Miranda is a multi-dimensional artist who uses his voice to raise up those who are underserved. His mega-musical Hamilton retold the story of America’s Founding fathers through contemporary rap and hip-hop music, casting minority actors in roles historically held by white men and women. Through this transformative act, Lin-Manuel Miranda allowed Black and Latino Americans of all ages to see their part in the American story.

    Additionally, Miranda has been a tireless activist for Puerto Rico, raising millions of dollars to help the island rebuild after hurricanes Maria and Irma. It’s clear that the fire of the Divine Masculine, and the wisdom of both divine energies flows through him, galvanizing him to champion those who need championing.

  3. MacKenzie Scott

    MacKenzie Scott is a philanthropist. Perhaps best known as the ex-wife of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, MacKenzie Scott has committed to giving away the majority of her wealth.

    What makes MacKenzie’s philanthropy remarkable is the speed at which she has initiated her philanthropy. In a single year, she donated 5.8 billion dollars to over 400 individual charities, partnering directly with these organizations to disburse much-needed funds. This stands in contrast with slower, more bureaucratic giving foundations which dole out funds slowly and publicly. MacKenzie, on the other hand, has shown that she will use her gifts for good, and she will do so with speed. Her zeal for philanthropy and fire of empathy are beautiful hallmarks of the Divine Feminine. I am excited to see what good she will continue to do!

  4. Greta Thunberg

    This woman is a fighter. She is a fierce, relentless voice for climate activism in a world that would rather drag its feet on the subject. She challenges politicians directly, shaming their attempts to conduct business as usual rather than face the existential threat that a changing climate presents. And she walks the walk – or sails the seas. Instead of flying, Ms. Thunberg has committed to climate-neutral transportation, using solar-powered sailing craft to cross the Atlantic.

    Her spirit reflects the Lion’s heart of the Divine Masculine, and also the urgent nurturing instinct of the Divine Feminine. She urges us to tend to the wounds of our mother – Mother Earth. And we should heed her words. Gaia, our Mother Earth, bears our scars. To reconnect with the light, we must heal the wounds we have wrought upon her.

 

The Great Divinities, Masculine and Feminine, are present in each of us in different proportions. We can all call upon their strengths and attributes to help us navigate our own tumultuous waters. More than that, we can call upon their strengths to help us help others. Just as the Divine shows us the way, we too can share the light to our brothers and sisters, helping the whole of humanity move forward into the light.

I’m so excited about our course on Awakening the Divine Feminine, and I am eager to share her mysteries with you. Click here to join us now to learn how you can activate this ancient and wondrous energy within your own being.

Waking Up with Divine Feminine Energy

by Divine FeminineFeatured

Have you ever felt that there are more rooms in your house than you have ever seen? Do you sometimes suspect that there are hidden pages in the book of you? Are there powers of love, understanding, compassion, forgiveness, generosity, creativity, and healing that you sense you possess but haven’t yet managed to bring into play?

You know there is more to your story because you glimpse it, you see it shining, you hear the melody just beyond. It lives in the joy and fulfillment, the excitement and optimism, the gratitude and boundless love you sometimes feel—and would like to more fully embrace each and every day.

Your intuition tells you that there is a bigger, better, more empowered you—your best self, your higher self—ready to awaken. Your higher self is your connection to the Divine, the Source of All That Is, and the power of unconditional love. How successful have you been in waking up your higher, most-enlightened spiritual self? What would it mean in your life to fully activate your best self? To borrow from the Sufi poet, Hafiz, “Just think what a love like that can do.”

Try to imagine how your higher self would experience life on earth. Would you feel more hope, trust, harmony, and faith? Could you be more loving to yourself and others? Would you feel less fear and more love, connection, and compassion? Could you move away from limiting beliefs and toward confidence in your ability to manifest your greatest dreams? Would you laugh more freely, smile more openly, and help others move away from negativity and toward joy and appreciation?

When you work at expanding your awareness, bringing yourself into balance, experiencing greater peace, raising your consciousness, and connecting with these elements of the Divine Feminine, you are actually assisting every other person and creature on the planet to do the same. With every thought and emotion you have, you’re sending out a wave of energy that makes its way into the fabric of humanity’s consciousness. By embracing your growth and striving to be your best self, you contribute to the well-being of all.

Here are five ways you can activate your inner Divine Feminine energy to wake up an enlightened version of you:

1. Meditate with The Great Mother

Your first step should always be opening the channel to your Higher Self. Preparing the way for awakening and healing begins with this universal practice to still the mind; calm, cleanse, and refresh the body; and increase your connection to the infinite Source of all creation, The Great Mother. Learn to meditate with an experienced teacher (like me) and build a practice that will stay with you and support all your future endeavors.

Meditation is amazingly good for you physically, mentally and spiritually. A big part of meditation’s success is its powerful ability to reduce and release stress. Meditation will also assist you in removing any blockages that come from holding onto anger and resentment. Meditation, especially when you’re connected to Divine Feminine energy, creates space for forgiveness, which opens up your connection to others and paves the way to enlightenment.

2. Discover who you are with unconditional love

Begin your course of spiritual awakening at the heart of matters, through the lens of unconditional love. Examine yourself to see if you know who you really are and what you really want.

  • What are your beliefs and values?
  • Your hopes and fears?
  • What do you love to do and whom do you love?

Because you are a unique being, there is much knowledge about yourself that only you can discover, much work that only you can do. Explore your feelings—past and present. When you start to dig into them, it may surprise you how much the feelings you’ve suppressed and the lies you’ve told yourself have held you back.

You can change your life by staying always in the mindset of self-reflection—figuring out how you feel about everything that happens to you. Ask why you feel the way you do. Working with Divine Feminine energy can bring you closer to honest, non-judgmental self-evaluation that will help you awaken your enlightened self.

3. Pray with your Divine Feminine guides

You’ll find a world of information to discover in the study and practice of prayer…it’s your high-speed connection to Divine Feminine energy. Common to every culture and every people, prayer is about joining to the light, Source, Goddess, or whatever name you have for the energy of unconditional love, creation, and strength.

Forms of prayer can include contemplation, affirmations, music, art, being in nature, and physical activities like dance and yoga—all used to connect with the guides and goddesses that can bring you gifts of healing and grace. Try forms of prayer that are new to you.

For example, use these Divine Feminine affirmations to declare a shift in your higher-self qualities:

  • “I am able to heal.”
  • “I am an instrument of peace and love.”

You can also connect to the Divine Feminine through creative activities you love by asking to be a channel for the divine light as you work.

4. Journal your thoughts, goals, and experiences

Once you’ve created the habit of exploring your feelings, you can make that focus a healing spiritual practice by journaling every day.

Keeping a journal of your thoughts and emotions supports your spiritual awakening in several ways. And as an added bonus, the Divine Feminine is always listening…if you journal your hopes and dreams, you may end up being guided toward a path that will lead you there.

If you haven’t kept a journal before, you’ll discover a wonderful opportunity to express yourself, explore your feelings, be authentic, and tell the truth in a safe and private setting. It takes practice to express your authentic self openly and honestly. When you learn to be truthful on the pages of your journal, you learn to be truthful in the world. You step into a new level of self-awareness and self-trust, opening the door to goals and future accomplishments.

5. Build your connection to Divine Feminine

Remember who you are: you are a child of the Divine Feminine and have the power to create your world with love, happiness, and inspiration.

Although you are always connected to the Great Mother and to all of creation, there are ways you can practice each day to strengthen your alignment and make your connection clearer and more focused.

You have the power to keep your point of contact with the Divine Feminine open and flowing. Use your intuition. You have a channel of communication always available. Be open to the messages of Spirit. Use meditation to quiet your mind. Ask for what you need to know and be ready to receive. Invite the Divine to enter your life each day.

As an energy healer and spiritual teacher, I’ve learned that the “best you” is really a higher you—your Higher Self. When you feel good, when joy and gratitude and creative energy fill your heart, you’ll know your alignment with Spirit is healthy and strong. In alignment with your Higher Self, you are in touch with your soul and can experience Divine Feminine energy and feel your part in the interconnected world. You will know you are loved unconditionally and you’ll have the power to be more compassionate and loving toward others. Your Higher Self, in itself a part of the Divine Feminine, goes far beyond your everyday awareness and can transport you into transcendent realms.

What Secrets Within You Are Waiting To Be Discovered?

by Divine FeminineFeatured

What would you do if you wanted to search your heart, mind, and soul for all the talents, gifts, and abilities hidden within? And how would you seek help in bringing those precious gifts forth into the world? If you were an ancient Greek, you’d be very familiar with the sisterhood of female deities known as the Nine Muses.

The role of these sister goddesses was to preside over knowledge of every art and science and to bestow inspiration on those seeking to find and pursue their creative connections. The image of the Muse, the power of the feminine guiding spirit, lives on in our culture today. When you need assistance in exploring and activating your power to imagine, to intuit, to dream, and to create, you can call upon the Muse.

If what you need is power for self-exploration and self-discovery, the feminine spirit can help with this effort to look within. You can ask for help in uncovering your gifts and abilities and in bringing them forth to serve the world.

How can you begin to explore the hidden gifts and abilities you have within? Here are some questions you can ask yourself:

1. What’s my story? –Think about the ways you describe yourself and your life first to yourself and then to others. Recognize the deep value of acknowledging the truth about your thoughts and feelings. Only the truth can set you free to look at your life with love and acceptance. Clearing barriers to self-love and acceptance eases the way for your hidden gifts to come forth. Use your daily journaling practice to build your comfort level with honest expression. Writing becomes a powerful discovery tool as you look for keys to your hidden gifts. Be sure to explore examples of people, things, and experiences you love.

2. What makes me happy? – What are you doing when you feel most free, most passionate, most engaged? Think about the things you do each day and how you feel in every moment. Are you sometimes sleep-walking through your life, not really present or focused? Do you often imagine yourself somewhere else, doing something else? Make a list of the activities or places or circumstances that really bring you to life, as opposed to putting you to sleep. What are the components of those awakening experiences? Maybe you are tutoring a child who needs help with homework or serving lunch at the senior center. Maybe you are attending a city council meeting to express concern for the growing homeless population. Maybe you are studying a subject that fascinates you, leading a prayer group, learning to grow a vegetable garden. Whatever engages your passionate attention is a clue to your gifts and your life purpose.

3. What attracts my true presence? Where you are in any moment tells you how near or far you are from accessing your soul center. Are you actually listening to your significant other talk about their day? Are you really tasting that fresh cup of coffee? Are you seeing and appreciating the bright burst of spring flowers in your neighbor’s yard? If you aren’t present, where are you? Your meditation practice is your finest tool for learning to focus your attention and become present in the present moment. Tuning in to the Divine through meditation strengthens your connection to the power source of all creation. You’ll need for that connection to be finely-tuned in order to discover your gifts, talents, and abilities and power them up to help heal the world.

4. Who needs what I have to give? This sounds like the quandary of someone looking for a job, doesn’t it? When you are looking for work, you might scan the want ads looking for a match with your skills, as you understand them. Think about those fellows being on the other side of the equation. What are the times when you have made a good match—your talents and another’s needs? Did you feel joy and purpose in bringing your talent to another’s aid? Whatever you did to help, and the satisfaction you felt, can be keys to a deeper understanding of what powerful gifts you possess that the world is needs right now.

5. How can I know my gifts are real? Is it possible that some ancient poet asked the Muse for inspiration and she replied, “No way!”? If so, the story never passed the test of time. What came down to us instead are examples of the traditional prayer or invocation of classic poets asking the sisterhood of Muses for their support and guidance. Like these poets, have faith in the power of your gifts and the power of a loving universe to help you bring them forth. Believe that your unique gifts are real and that they are needed here and now. Your firm connection to Source, nourished each day with spiritual practices—meditation, prayer, journaling, and loving service– is the foundation for all the faith you need in your amazing potential.

Just as your soul longs for the experience of self-expression, the world needs your unique contribution. As you call forth and use your unique gifts, you begin to live the life you were born for, joyfully engaged—mind, heart, body, and soul!

Recognizing your Muse is only one small facet of exploring the powerful energy of the Divine Feminine in your life.
