When tapping into our divine feminine or goddess energy, how we dress or present ourselves plays a significant role. We often underestimate the power of style, fashion, and beauty in expressing our inner selves. Personally, I’ve always loved dressing in pinks, pastels, floral prints, plunging necklines, and silhouettes that celebrate my body, with a touch of makeup to highlight my features. There’s something irresistible about lacy, frilly, body-hugging silhouettes with a vintage feel—they lighten my mind.
Rediscovering Self through Style
Yet, despite my love for dressing like a “girly girl,” I faced criticism, leading me to follow trends to fit in blindly. Even when those clothes didn’t resonate, I wore them for others’ approval. Over time, I lost my genuine connection with myself and my confidence, becoming more concerned about meeting others’ expectations than staying true to who I was.
The Balance of Divine Feminine and Masculine Energy
This is how we damage our inner divine feminine energy. Regardless of gender, every human holds both masculine and feminine energy. While feminine energy is often seen as gentle or delicate, it’s actually the divine feminine energy that guides the universe within us. It’s not about competition; masculine and feminine energies are meant to coexist. But in our hustle culture, we often forget the power of slowing down—an essential aspect of feminine energy that helps us access our intuition. Feminine energy grounds us, keeps us calm, and allows us to see things with clarity and make thoughtful decisions.
Embracing Imperfections with Compassion
Compassion toward oneself is at the core of this energy. Some days, I can meet negative thoughts with sensitivity. But on tougher days, they can overwhelm me, leading to self-doubt and anxiety. At such moments, it’s easy to forget how to ground ourselves, spiraling into feelings of fear and judgment. The key is to accept these emotions as a part of us—acknowledging them without letting them take over. By doing so, we make space for our divine femininity to whisper, “You’re okay, don’t worry.”
Beauty Rituals: A Gateway to Divine Feminine Energy
You’ll find plenty of resources on tapping into divine feminine energy, but for me, beauty routines have been a healing practice. Self-care rituals are deeply rooted in our culture, even though they’ve become buzzwords in the beauty industry. The essence of divine feminine energy can be traced back to Shakti—the powerful source from which goddesses like Durga, Parvati, and Kali manifest. They remind us that Shakti resides within us.
From Navratri to Diwali: Celebrating Divine Energy
Starting from Navratri to Diwali—when we celebrate divine energy in its most abundant form—the air is filled with a strong feminine presence. During Navratri, goddesses are adorned in Solah Shringar, reflecting both power and beauty. As we transition into Diwali, this energy transforms into a celebration of light, abundance, and inner strength. It’s a reminder that divine feminine energy has been woven into the very fabric of these festivities, encouraging us to embrace our inner light.
Hair Care: Nourishing the Crown Chakra
Let’s start with hair. Our hair is connected to our central nervous system and acts as a receptor of energy. When did you last give yourself a good Champi (head massage)? For me, it’s a cherished childhood memory. My ritual involves warm extra virgin coconut oil infused with Bhemseni Kapoor as my dog sniffs curiously at its strong scent. Head massages with your favourite oil can nourish not just your hair but your mind, awakening the crown chakra and helping you reconnect with your goddess energy.
Skincare: A Ritual of Self-Love
We all have our beloved skincare routines, especially at night. After a long day, pampering your skin with soothing products feels like therapy. Skincare is like nourishing food for your divine feminine energy—it tells your soul that you are cared for, reinforcing self-love and respect. This connection between body and soul is what our feminine energy thrives on. And yes, facial massages with tools are great, but there’s something special about using your hands and releasing tension while you breathe deeply.
Keeping it Simple and Genuine
Beauty rituals should be kept simple, allowing us to focus on one thing at a time and truly experience their effects. Remember, you are a divine being—nurture that energy with care. A final tip: surround yourself with people who genuinely appreciate you. Their power will help you glow from the inside out. Protect your divinity, and embrace your unique expression of femininity, whatever that looks like to you.
Lavenderoom Adds:
In our tradition, fragrance is a powerful conduit for divine energy. My mother always douses her goddess idol with attar before every pooja, believing it activates her energy. Perhaps we can do the same for ourselves. Layer your favorite fragrances, indulge in scented salt baths, or smoke your hair with oudh or bakhoor. If this sounds too complicated, a simple spritz on your wrists and neck with a body mist can make a difference. Please take a moment to enjoy the subtle shift in energy it brings.
