When I listen to my sacred feminine soul today she whispers relax. Be easy with yourself. Receive the exquisite beauty of the green moss at your feet and the snow melting on the branch. She slows me down when I get ahead of myself and opens me to the invisible threads connecting me with all life. She guides and inspires me with my simple concerns and my hearts deep desires.
The sad thing is for years I was deeply ashamed of my essence even as she was woven into every fiber of my being. I believed it was my biggest problem – my sensitivity, my deep emotions, and my tender heart. Not to mention my body. It was messy and out of my control. It all made me feel weird and vulnerable. Like I could never quite fit in.
So I tried to cut her off and become what was applauded and approved of. I watched the contempt and denigration of the feminine in my home, my church and the world around me. I attracted people and experiences that trashed the feminine within me. I believed the lies and felt for years I’m not enough.
I learned to put on the mask and try to fit in to relationships and institutions that didn’t “get” me. Or see the value in my sensitivity or deep emotions. It left me feeling even more insecure and self-critical.
How about you? Do you struggle with self-judgment and doubt? Do you work to hold it all together yet feel unworthy or not enough deep inside? Do you look to others for validation of your value? Wouldn’t it feel nice to relax and remember that who you are is not only enough but you a gift with a sacred feminine nature that is uniquely your own?
The truth is your sacred Feminine nature – the essential you – is beautiful and worthy of honor. She may be obscured or hidden well under the surface but she is whispering to you through the longing of your heart and the murmur of your soul. Your passions your unique gifts are all reflections of Her like the shimmers of a jewel submerged deep under the water. You catch glimpses and glimmers. You may forget for years. You may get caught in the old story of not worthy. Prove yourself. Get caught up in the distractions of the culture and the ego. But all the while She is with you whether you are tuned in or not. And then one day you feel a nudge, or a deep soul yearning that says I need more than this. I am more than this. I’m ready to get out of this box.

Wonderful to meet you ad your blog, I know the self judgement trail and trials. Once i realised i was more than enough , I see the judgement falling away xxoo
So wonderful Suzie to claim your value and release those judgments. Thanks for stopping by and sharing.
Joni, I’m so happy you discovered your essence, value & strength in order to help other women. What a beautiful offering! <3
Thank you Tae. I’m so glad as well. It feel like an honor and privilege to call women back to the beauty of who they are.
Joni, I so related to your story, both in the earlier sense of not fitting in and not being worthy or right as I am, and to the discovery of those same traits as the source of my power and beauty. It’s incredible, and I’m so glad and grateful for this great healing of the feminine experience. I love the name of your new program and I wish you the greatest success with it – I know you will help and heal so many women’s lives! xo, Reba
Deep thanks Reba. I appreciate your warm affirmation and sharing your own experience. Sadly, I think it’s more common than we’d like it to be. xo
Inspiring post. Thank you for the important reminder to pay attention to the ‘soul call’.
Thank you Marianne! We all need reminders now and again. 🙂
“You catch glimpses and glimmers. You may forget for years.” Beautifully said Joni, I completely relate to these words. The soul call makes its presence known until we are ready to acknowledge and release our limited beliefs of not worthy, not good enough and so on. You have a powerful mission to support women with their call! xo
Deep thanks Pamela. I love my mission – it’s my sacred honor.
Wow you touched a chord in me as I used to be so cut off from my feminine essence. I’ve been releasing the shadows of shame and embracing my divine feminine energy…I can now see her shining through and enveloping me in her light.
So beautiful Debra. I see her too. What a gift that we can be restored to our fullness and let our Sacred Feminine essence shine.
I love reading your blog posts! Thank you for being a shining sacred feminine revolutionary!
Thank you Stacey. That touches my heart.
Sure do know this one Joni! Spent the first almost 40 years of my life not fitting in, not knowing what I thought and not able to stand up for myself. Thanks for reminding me of the truth I share with others: If you’re breathing, you’re worthy (enough). If you’re here, you belong. Your presence matters. So easy to forget and so good to remember!
Thank you Tina for carrying the message!
Really really loved this post. Real and deep. Thank you for sharing!
It’s my profound pleasure. Thank you Lisa.
