One of the most noticeable signs of a divine feminine awakening is an increase in your intuition. Defined as the ability to understand or know something without conscious reasoning or logical proof, intuition often manifests as a “gut feeling” or a sense of inner knowing.

However, you are moved to work with your emotions, the divine feminine reminds us to honor and express the truth of our feelings in ways that are authentic and empowering.

An incredible sign of divine feminine awakening is finding ourselves developing a stronger sense of self-sourced power and the ability to hold healthy boundaries. The Goddess encourages us to cultivate, and then rely on our own inner strength and wisdom, and to respect ourselves enough to say no when needed.
To aid the development of this, it’s important to practice self-reflection to understand our needs and limits. It also involves communicating respectfully with others while staying true to ourselves. Learning to say no and avoid compromising situations helps preserve our energy and empowerment.

If movement and exercise are being called for, then follow that calling.

As the divine feminine awakens within you, it’s normal for many old ways and dense energies and patterns to fall away, and you may find yourself developing a thirst for new knowledge.

Rising divine feminine energy may also encourage us to seek out new experiences and perspectives, in order to integrate what we’re learning. As the sacred feminine takes root, she invites us to approach life with a sense of curiosity and wonder, so that we can embrace the truth of who we really are.

As you begin embracing the divine feminine, and her power awakens within you, you will begin to see through the masks of femininity, and instead seek something more authentic.
For many, femininity is still exclusively associated with qualities such as nurturing, softness anf surrender. Yet as the Goddess emerges through you, you will begin to embrace her depth and darkness too – her passion, rage, chaos, wildness and eros.
