Feminine divinity is the spiritual concept that there is a feminine counterpart to the patriarchal and masculine structures of worship that have long dominated organized religions. Feminine divinity extends far beyond a belief system and can instead be used as a spiritual lens to balance our perspective. The so-called goddess movement has been vital for several decades, but it still exists on the fringes. Its most basic objective is to give women a sense of self-esteem and value in their own right, not as a complement to a man.
This message has taken hold in developed countries and has crept painfully slowly into the less privileged world. The next step must be simultaneously personal, social and spiritual. It must be a movement towards integrity for all. Divine femininity is often associated with fertility, creativity and intuition.
Harnessing this energy can help heal the mind, body and soul of women who are recovering from addiction. The Divine Feminine is an energy, which means you can't see or hear it, but you can feel it a lot. Shakti means both inner and outer strength. Connecting with the divine feminine that is within us consists of slowing down and being with yourself instead of living a life based on the continuous work of Doing.
And most importantly, it's about embodying compassion, intuition, creativity and inspiration from their purest form, from within. Archetypes of femininity and fertility abound around the world and throughout history, and the exploration of feminine divinity takes on many historical, anthropological, spiritual and cultural.
