How To Connect To My Feminine Energy Instead of Emotional Eating
When I learned how to connect to my feminine energy and take care of myself emotionally it freed me from food obsessions. How much of your life have you spent beating yourself up and in regret because you ate too much? Or because you ate your forbidden foods? Yet another binge and backlash of beating yourself up.
The emotional eating roller coaster is not a fun way to live
I’ve been there. And now I can say, I am free from it. It’s because I learned how to connect to my feminine energy instead of turning to food.
Knowing how to connect to my feminine energy was truly my savior and source of sanity on my journey to food freedom. Yes, there are times when I still eat more than I would like. But definitely not to a place of uncomfortable fullness. And never to the point of regret and beating myself up. What I put in my mouth goes in with zero mental conflict. And that feels amazingly good. I never thought I would get there. Especially after so many years of struggling and obsessing about food.
I could still be a bit of a slower eater but it feels awesome to be free from the emotional pain and roller coaster I endured for many years. And I want the same for you.
Ultimately the solution for me was to learn how to connect to my feminine energy. Learning how to feel my feelings instead of repressing them. Feeling pleasure in my body. And most of all learning how to love and honor my feminine side.
Take this list and put it on your refrigerator!
How To Connect To My Feminine Energy
Instead of Emotional Eating
- Take a bath.
- Take a walk.
- Dance sensually.
- Belly breathe.
- Cry and hold yourself.
- Do a guided meditation.
- Stop and ask yourself, “What do I need right now?”
- Feel the desire, and see what is underneath it.
- Go to your favorite yoga class.
- Clean your house until it’s spotless.
The above list contains 10 things to help you focus on connecting to your feminine side instead of turning to food. I did put a little test on the list. There are two items in the list that aren’t really expressing feminine energy. Can you guess which ones?
They are items 9 and 10. Item 9, depending on what type of yoga it is, can be either feminine or masculine. High-intensity fitness yoga would be masculine and something like yin yoga or restorative yoga would be feminine.
But in the list, it doesn’t state what type of yoga. And the idea of going to a yoga class. “Going” is active and more masculine. Just want you to see the difference between masculine and feminine energies.
And then, item number 10 is definitely not feminine. It’s active and anal retentive. Mentally getting every spot cleaned in the house. It’s not feminine per se because it’s goal oriented and activity driven.
Make Connecting To Your Feminine Side A Regular Habit
How to connect to my feminine side is now a habit for me. Regular baths are part of my lifestyle. I love my baths! When I am emotionally upset, I do my 4N process for mastering my emotions. I use guided meditations regularly. And belly breathing really grounds me.
Make connecting with your feminine side and sensually pleasurable activities a habit. It takes 21 days to change a habit. Start incorporating the first 8 things on the above list into your life. We are creatures of habit. As you start doing these sensually pleasurable things on a regular basis you’ll love the feeling it gives you. You’ll learn how to get out of your head and be in your body.
Yoga was my first experience of learning how to connect to my feminine energy and feel the joy of being in my body. When doing yoga I made sure I didn’t have food in my stomach. I loved the spaciousness and openness that yoga brought into my world and into my body awareness.
Food Is Sensual & Your Are Sensual
A big reason why women turn to food and emotionally eat is that it’s a sensual experience. You are a sensual being. And sensual experiences are healthy for your feminine soul.
We’ve been programmed that our sensuality is nasty or naughty but the truth is that it’s normal and natural. It’s even very wholesome. When you’re having a sensual experience (and it doesn’t have to be in the context of sex) you are IN your body. You are not in your mind. You become much more connected to the pleasure of being in your body. And that’ exactly what will free you from emotional eating.
Give yourself PLENTY of sensual experiences Don’t let food be your only source of sensual joy. Know the difference between masculine and feminine energy and cultivate your feminine side.
