How to Feel Powerful in Your Feminine Energy (Instead of Submissive)
In a world where power is often equated with dominance or control, embracing your feminine energy can feel counterintuitive. We’ve been conditioned to associate femininity with submission, but in truth, feminine energy is deeply powerful.
So, how do you feel powerful in your feminine energy without feeling submissive? It all comes down to setting clear boundaries and expressing them in a way that honours both you AND men.
Setting Boundaries from a Place of Power
Feminine energy is not about pleasing others at the expense of yourself. It’s about knowing what you want and communicating it clearly. Here’s how you can assert your boundaries in a way that feels powerful, yet still respectful:
Example 1: “Thank you so much for organising a date for us. And I don’t want to go to an Indian restaurant. I don’t like Indian food. Italian food would feel amazing. What do you think?”
Example 2: “It feels amazing getting to know you and I feel excited to get to know you more. And I don’t want to be a girlfriend. I want to be a wife. And until a man shows up who wants the same as I do, I feel better keeping my options open. What do you think?”
Example 3: “I love you. And I don’t want to have conversations over text. I’ve realised it just causes arguments. What do you think?”
Balancing Boundaries and Respecting Masculine Energy
You might notice that each example ends with a simple question: “What do you think?” Asking this doesn’t mean you’re compromising or being submissive. Instead, it respects his thoughts and opinions — a key need for masculine energy.
By inviting him to share his perspective, you encourage him to step into his masculine role, where he can come up with solutions and take the lead.
Feminine Energy Isn’t Submission — It’s Influence
Feminine energy is powerful because it shines a light on what you want, and then the masculine energy takes action to give it to you. As the feminine partner, your role is to know and express your desires clearly. The masculine energy’s role is to take action and put in the effort to make those desires a reality.
Feminine energy respects the masculine energy’s decisions, and the masculine energy cherishes the feminine energy’s feelings. Feminine energy has the final veto.
By embodying your feminine energy, you aren’t relinquishing power — you’re stepping into a position of graceful influence. Feminine energy inspires, and creates space for masculine energy to rise to the occasion and take action.
