Female Embodiment: The Feminine Urge To Enhance Your Sense Of Self

It is quite difficult to mindfully live in a patriarchal society wherein you’ve to walk in front of the world with heavy emotions! A woman’s body is often a subject of discussion or I can say it is used as a weapon by society to disempower a woman who is rebellious or takes her stand against the culture’s expectations.

I really don’t understand the idea of setting cultural expectations in front of women who are ambitious, strong, and courageous!

Trying to meet the ideals of how we should behave, how we should make up, how we should dress, or how our bodies should look… often transforms our goals and ambitions in a negative direction. But the good part is that you don’t have to fight inner battles to meet the ideals or societal expectations anymore!

I have brought you a concept of female embodiment which is empowering in different ways. It’s a new concept to build connection and comfort with your body and find resistance to self-objectification.

So, let’s get started and explore what female embodiment has to offer!

Understanding The Concept & Theories Of Female Embodiment

While embodiment means the connection of mind and body, the female embodiment is a concept that enhances the connection with the acceptance of the body. It’s also about celebrating and embracing the unique features in ourselves that make us exclusive. Female embodiment means getting comfortable in your own skin and recognizing the beauty within.

The concept of female embodiment is not gender-specific. The pillars of embodiment let the feeling flow! It develops the connection and embodies it healthily.  In order to feel embodied, you must inherit the assets of feminine energy such as depth, feeling, flow, and inward with the qualities of masculine energy such as direction, forward, and vision contractedly.

This contrast can help us achieve a balance with purpose, radiance, endless love, and inner beauty. In a deeper meaning, the balance lets us reclaim our bodies back, provides freedom from our suppressed emotions, and lets us love ourselves without any societal boundaries and expectations! It provides us the strength to overcome the patriarchal norms.

Roots Of Female Embodiment

If you’re fighting your battle against body image issues, positive aging, eating disorders, or societal norms, a female embodiment can help you explore the five dimensions which can help you embrace the great sense of self.

1. Awareness

The process of female embodiment begins with awareness. Awareness means living in the present and connecting with our mind and body. This process involves movement which helps your wandering mind to seek balance and be aware of your thoughts and feelings.

2. Expression of desire

During the process, when we consciously breathe, we strongly connect with our bodies and embrace awareness within. If you’re a beginner, you can try alternate nostril breathing to connect mindfully. Breathwork techniques are one of the best tools to reclaim your desires, expand your vision, exhale negative thoughts, and inhale positive ones.

3. Movement

Movement allows you to relieve stress, negative thoughts, and anxiety related to societal pressure and opens your thoughts and body toward relaxation. This process focuses on self-centeredness that begins from within and lets your feminine flow take the front seat. It aligns with our thoughts and energies. Herein, we start developing the female embodiment, welcome them, and liberate them.

4. Engagement

This pillar allows us to become vulnerable. This process involves confrontation which helps unravel the pain, sadness, and negative energies related. The sound within develops the lost connection with our bodies.

5. Building resistance and connecting deeply

This pillar allows us to feel embodied and embark on our journey with our newly-accepted bodies and unravel the traumas, expectations, and core beliefs to deeply connect with our body.
