This past
weekend I got the opportunity to hear “The Keys to Feminine Power” an online
event with Katherine Woodward Thomas and Claire Zammit PhD. This is an
ah-mazing talk geared for women! These two incredible women talk about
inspiration, personal & spiritual growth, and really tapping into our
feminine power. We know at some level that we can and will have a greater
impact when we tap into our power and connect with a support system. I am so
thankful for Katherine and Claire and having access to this incredible
information. These ladies talk about the principles and powers to attract and
use Feminine Energy. There are three distinct Power Bases for feminine energy.
Power Base #1: The Power to Change Your
Life
All of the
systems and techniques we’ve been using to create more power in our lives have
been created by men. So when we do this we can’t help but see things in a
masculine light. Manipulations, affirmations, and controlled behaviors don’t
necessarily work for women. We often need a much more holistic and healing
approach.
We experience
life through emotions. When we decide what emotions we should be having we
completely ignore this emotional center Claire speaks of. This can actually
halt our progress. It’s necessary to acknowledge our core beliefs and our
emotions.
One
technique that includes the acknowledgment of our beliefs and any emotions we
hold in our bodies is EFT (tapping). EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique
which is an incredible tool anyone can use anytime & anywhere. For more
information about EFT please visit my page.
Claire
suggests stepping back and seeing all the things that you’ve created that were
easy and organic. These are things for the most part that are in your sense of
what you can create. Maybe they’re things you were told you can do or were
supported by others. Look at the things that you want to create; things that
you may struggle with…you may notice they’re outside your core sense of
identity. The sense deep down inside you, what you feel is possible. The
greatest possibility that we want to have and create for our lives are often
outside what we deem possible. Until we actually shift our beliefs at the core,
not much is going to change.
This is where
feminine power the Power of Relatedness comes
in. Where we learn to be in a relationship with ourselves we acknowledge all
parts of ourselves. Including the parts we’re not jazzed about. We need to create
a relationship with these parts of ourselves, turning towards the feelings and
connect with all parts of us. Through this we can learn how to mentor these
parts and beliefs we may have created when at age 2, 9, or older. Often they
come about when we’re quite young.
Claire
suggests going to those parts of you that you ignore, the parts that say “I’m
not wanted,” “No one sees me,” “I’m not loved and appreciated,” or whatever it
is they say. With mentoring and EFT (tapping) you can
actually challenge these parts of you that are scared, and learn to love and
embrace them.
Think about
an area in your life you’ve been trying to change for a long time now…romantic
relationships, more fulfilling career, etc. drop your awareness down into your
body. Where do feel it in your body? Choose to turn towards this feeling and
welcome it. If this feeling could speak…what would it tell you? How old is this
part of you? This is the time to ask a bunch of questions. Let’s say this part
of you is 3 years old, Claire says to have the older you kind of tutor the
younger you. What’s the best thing about being my current age? You might say
that you have access to power, you’re strong and resilient…and you get to make
choices!
Now breathe
this strong, resilient woman into the younger part of yourself. Extend the
energy into the earth and throughout the room, the part of you that knows how
to extend kindness and wisdom to the younger you. You will tell the younger you
that you see her, hear her, and that you’re going to care for her now. You
begin to build a nurturing and loving relationship between your younger self
and adult self.
Once we
bring how we’re being into who and what we truly are life opens up and actually
starts to transform our identity. We can finally have the experience of other
people responding and relating to us. Basically we’re able to evolve beyond the
patterns of the past. Once this is done we’re ready to co-create.
Power Base #2: Begin to Cultivate a
New Way of Creating Your Life
Claire says,
“In my clearest moments I knew what my calling was but I had no idea what the
fullness of that would look like. I was underneath someone else’s vision. I
felt like a voice that needed to be heard, I never would have put myself into
what and where I’m at now. I had no idea looking back 10-15 years that this is
where I’d end up.”
The
challenge of realizing our destiny is that we need to navigate our way to a
destination that doesn’t exist just yet. So we don’t really know what it looks
like. We cannot apply masculine energy to this or goal setting. Instead we step
into this partnership with life where we create together. We access the deeper
desires of what we’re holding and what we want to create. We can access the
confidence and ability to create what we’ve wanted. In order to do this we have
to embrace trust and faith in the process of life. Any area of our lives that
we’re not experiencing is an area where we need to work on trust and belief.
First you
will need to connect with the deeper part of you within your body. This is
where you have access to the unlimited support of life/universe. We can connect
with our deepest desire of what we’d like to express through meditation, deep
breathing, and EFT. Once you connect with this part of yourself you begin to
co-create. It opens you up to receive. This is a time to ask, “What’s my next
step in moving forward?” Connecting with this part allows you the confidence to
move forward.
Most of us
don’t have this embodied sense of trust and faith. There is an inability to act
on a deeper more spiritual level. We don’t trust our own intuition. We can
become a powerful co-creator with the universe when we learn to trust.
Power base 3: The Power to Change the
World
This is
where we activate the power of the collective field. This allows us to succeed
in the biggest possible way. We need much more support. We have this idea that we
need or ask for support it’s a sign of weakness, once again you cannot access
this third power with masculine energy. In order to really come into our own
power we must nurture relationships and become true partners. Something happens
when we come together with others, a great power is released. When Katherine
and Claire came together they discovered this. They stood for each other and
supported new ways for them to show up. They discovered the power of the
Collective Field.
Many of us
feel alone and we haven’t cultivated a way to come together and work
One way to
access this power is begin to find people that we relate to and say to them, “I
am really standing to share my gifts with the world, will you stand with me?”
Basically you’re asking your support team/friends to help your accountable for
living in a way that’s consistent and congruent with your highest self.
Most of us don’t
have relationships like this in our lives. Too often we feel alone and unsure
of how to create a way to come together and work with other women and men. When
we have people standing with us and for us supporting who we are becoming is
extremely powerful. We’re able to activate the power of the Collective Field.
This is where we have true partners on our journey that mirror us and stand for
us so we can become women who bond in a powerful, positive way.
When you
make this shift within yourself where you embrace and connect with all parts of
you. There is a tremendous sense of liberation. By shining our own light and
finally stepping into our radiance we encourage others to do the same thing.

Thank you~
One of my dear friends recently told me she feels like she takes up too much space. She was referring to her weight and how she feels about her body. I began wondering how many of us are afraid to take up “too much” space both physically and energetically? It got me thinking about space and our energy field.
