Awaken Your Divine Feminine

A spiritual awakening is a highly personal and beautiful thing. I had my awakening many years ago and I'm still awakening to new levels all the time. I recently rediscovered yoga in my life, and it has given me many wonderful cheat codes to deepen myself into my personal spiritual practice.

Much of the wisdom that you discover and find during an awakening comes from within. Your three-dimensional self is finally connecting with your higher self. It's life changing to discover that you exist on a spiritual plane also. It can also be somewhat overwhelming.

Many start their journey for their new spiritual truths by seeking knowledge in books. It can be helpful to read the words of other people who have gone through something similar.

First, I must make a disclaimer to never make any person your guru. Not one person knows it all. And there's not just one truth in this universe. We all have our own unique paths. Coming into your spiritual truths is a journey and not a destination. We are always learning and growing. Make sure your truths resonate within and don't follow anyone blindly. You were equipped with everything you need already inside you.

With that being said, we all can and should learn from each other. Below are some books that can help in your spiritual growth with awakening your Divine Feminine.

Sacred Sexual Union: The Alchemy of Love, Power, and Wisdom by Anaiya Sophia

The Twin Flame rhetoric is not anything I resonate with; however, that is some beautiful information in the books about the different schools of spirituality such as Gnosticism, Kabbalah, and Sufi mysticism. There are also practices that help with recognizing sacred unions. Though I don’t believe in twin flames sacred unions are real. Sacred unions are not about romantic love. These unions are with your parents, siblings, friends, etc. Not just with your spouses.

This book is part biography and part deep dive into the mysticism of the Voodoo religion. Marie Laveau is the legendary Queen of Voodoo, but it’s has become difficult to separate myths from facts when it comes to her legacy. Denise Alvarado does a good job of being respectful of Madame Laveau’s legacy while teaching about Voodoo practices.

Reading the stories about the women rulers of the region who aren’t talked about very often is enlightening and could light a fire in the power of your own feminine energy. This book is highly researched and well-written.

The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron

This is not a spiritual book in the traditional sense; however, it can make you look, see and blossom the creativity within. The divine feminine is creativity itself. To witness this, take a moment and gaze at a flower, tree, or an animal in its natural habitat. Mother Earth is creating this beautiful world for us every moment of every day.

Julia Cameron’s lessons and guide to open your innate creativity will also guide you into opening your sacral chakra where your creative energy resides. I’m currently on my third reading of this legendary text and I’m still finding new wisdom in her words.
