One of my favourite words to describe the feminine is “curves”
There are many curves in life. There are the curves of a river, the curves of a body and the curveballs in the day to day.
I believe there is so much femininity in each one of these examples. Let’s start with the river. RIVER
“What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn’t have any doubt- it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn’t want to go anywhere else.”
It’s flowing. It’s moving. It has trust and faith that its destination is going to be exactly where it’s supposed to be.
The feminine is the same way; she trusts, rests and remains beautiful in her own way. She is open to new possibilities and relaxes into the knowing that everything is going to work out.
The feminine isn’t obsessed with rigidity (neither is the masculine, by the way).
Rigidity is fear-based, not love-based. And considering the feminine is soft, that includes softness in the body. Breasts. Thighs. Booties.
A woman’s body is made for life giving, which is why we were created with extra padding to protect what we grow inside.
The endurance and health of a woman’s body is of the utmost importance to Mother Nature.
She wants to ensure that life is kept safe; therefore, a woman’s natural body may have more softness than what the media says we should have.
The curves of a body are beautiful, and dare I say, necessary for living a free-spirited feminine life.
