Sisters:
I am doing a bit of soul-search/research about the Feminine Essence that each of us women possesses, and would appreciate your thoughts and expressions on the matter.
As I have grown older and matured as a woman and a mother, I recognize how powerful the feminine essence truly is; that potent inner substance that is uniquely female and in-sync with the very roots of nature and cosmic rhythm---and expressed externally by the natural beauty of the feminine physique.
I am inspired by the work of Akua Auset and Yes Lioness (M. Borgella) on the subject, and want to capture your thoughts as well on the following:
1) just what you perceive the Feminine Essence to be
2) what it means to you
3) how you connected with it i.e. what experiences opened your eyes and your spirit to the awareness of your personal feminine power
4) how your awareness and embracing of it impacts your conscious and unconscious living at all levels, mentally, physically, spiritually and in relationship with others (sisters and brothers)
I look forward to your thoughts!

Great questions
Greetings SisterSpeak! I find this post timely considering I am in a season where EVERYTHING is about resting completely in my feminine essence. I have known all along that something within helps me to understand and embrace Nature and the cosmic process; however, it is in this season of my life that I am resting confidently in it. Up until this month, I have either remained quiet or stumbled through conversations with others (mainly brothas) because I felt that what I had to say or felt wasn't valid because I didn't have any hard facts to give or back it up with. After stifling my essence for so long, I eventually just stopped questioning myself and instead embraced this "deep knowing." Because of this, my life and the direction it's heading in feels more real and authentic; I, or my essence, am determining the direction my life flows in and not someone else's interpretation.
So for me, capturing the feminine essence means embracing, resting, understanding and accepting my essence. I am so glad I can finally say that I am doing just that. Continue to press...
Be the blessing,
DeAnna Lynette
