Girl how do you manage to remain feminine/ sensual while still being immersed (and hopefully progressing) in spirituality?? I found it so hard to balance both as I noticed asceticism comes naturally when practising spirituality. There is nothing wrong with it, though, but I feel like it's more a thing men are comfortable with compared to women.

LOVE THIS QUESTION HEHE

i had struggled with this ever since i began my spiritual journey at the age of 18. granted that at that age i hadnt understood or embodied sensuality or femininity, i felt like being spiritual meant letting go of all desire and going into monk mode and it stressed me out when i couldnt live up to that ascetic image

and let me tell u something, the male spiritual path is the ascetic one that refrains from indulgence and lives like a stoic monk. men live in a world where they're treated like kings, so it makes sense for their spiritual path to be one where they refrain from it and restrict their own enjoyment of things (there are a lot of things you're forbidden to do etc)

however,,, women??? we no longer live in an era of matriarchal cultures and global goddess worship,, this is a man's world that we inhabit. our spiritual path is more so about relaxing into our own energy and forging our path in this world by doing things our way, away from the limitations imposed on us by Yang energy. women already live restricted lives, the female spiritual path is one of immersion and expansion because the universe is Yin (energy of creation and expansion)

its REALLYYY hard to find spiritual wisdom and teachings that are specifically catered to the female path because mainstream understandings of spirituality is male centric like everything else in the world :///

but no you dont have to sever ties with your femininity and sensuality in order to be spiritual,,, women are understood as being innately sexual (men sexualise us for just existing),, since men are tempted by everything they see (be it power, money, glory or women),, they have to detach from all of it to find the peace or whatever

women live highly restricted lives because men/patriarchal society see us as being inherently sexual and therefore a target for abuse. we CANNOT sever ties with our sensuality the way men can with theirs because its not inherent to them because Yang energy is NOT the energy of creation, they just exist, thats all,, they dont have an inwardly expansive quality, thats why they go around conquering things and establishing dominance in other ways (rising up the corporate ladder to seeking control over mother nature etc) they have to externalise this because internally they are empty.

yk those posts about men having no thoughts or only now realising something u and the girlies knew at 12yrs of age???? yeah, that. they are EMPTY in the head.

women have interior lives and a big focus of female centric spirituality is living in harmony with it. i think rn there is a feminine energy renaissance albeit in silly ways ("im just a girl" etc entering the pop lexicon and that being okay??)

this means reclaiming all the things society shames you for being/having. embodying the full spectrum of being a woman and living whole heartedly. if we look at goddesses, there are fierce aggressive Goddesses like Kali, Matangi, Dhumavati etc and more gentle ones like Tripura Sundari, Lakshmi, Bhuvaneshwari etc so being a woman is not just sunshine and rainbows. embodying feminine energy isnt just wearing pink and being a soft girl,,, a woman contains multitudes and society makes us think we have to be one thing or another, when the truth is, we can be ALL.

its the same madonna-whore complex in spiritual form

"u cant be spiritual if ur a woman who feels lust/desire" WRONGGG

how i manage to be feminine/sensual AND spiritual is by focusing only on Yin centric spirituality and understanding that for a woman, sensuality and spirituality are interconnected deeply and profoundly. the world tries to rob us of it bc they want us to be sexual creatures on THEIR terms. but the true power remains in understanding that power is inherent and we can channel it our way without regard for pleasing anybody or giving anyone pleasure.

shakti energy is no joke, once u tap into it, you feel so aligned and connected to everything.

i cant be a man or do what men do 🤮🤢(derogatory) and this Yang rat race and culture is just setting us up for failure. we have to find ways to live our truth in this world without opting for the traditional path. because when we try to be like men, we are disconnected from our true essence and fail every time.

this is a much larger discussion and i dont think i have said everything i wanted to say but these are just some thoughts as of rn

If you feel guilty for receiving any types compliments, gifts or abundance — your feminine energy is unaligned. Femininity is luxury. A woman who is aligned in her femininity enjoys being adorned and lavished in opulence. She knows how to receive the gifts offered to her with ease and gratitude.

Xiaobao may have a -5 IQ most of the time, but his EQ…

No platitudes. No fake apologies or promises. No blame or “well, you shouldn’t have.”

This is the most mature form of acknowledgement. He knows that Su Yin is upset in part because of his actions, and that it’s a kind of pain that stems from a deep well of caring about Xiaobao’s well-being. He knows that Su Yin is exhausted after getting him back on his feet and, based on his comment about Xiaobao hating him, probably not too certain of where they stand.

And he doesn’t try to brush it off or explain it away, nor does he try to pretend it didn’t happen. He just goes straight to his Xiaobao brand of honesty—he doesn’t know how to make it better, and that opens exactly the door they need to walk through.

This is why everyone revolves around Xiaobao like Prince Shen complains. He’s just so good and genuine that nobody can really hate him. Except Shaoyu, but he hates everyone except Su Yin, so he doesn’t count.

Oh look, it’s Jin Xiaobao-loving hours!

I can't wait to find out about Siming and Jinbao's past. It's clear that Siming has been waiting for, and looking for, a long lost person from the past.

Siming leaves Su Yin in the dust the moment he hears Jinbao's voice.

Siming doesn't know what this person looks like grown up, but the bracelet doesn't lie.

Siming has found his long lost love. Jinbao is just wondering why this dude is manhandling him. For now.

Jinbao may be dumb but realizes that he knows Siming from long ago. Does Jinbao remember Siming? Has he been looking to be reunited with his fated person too? I need to know. I need the next episode now. 😭

It cracked me up that Su Yin tried to warn Jinbao about Siming's "strange interests".

Because of course, Su Yin knows.

12 Laws of the Universe:

1. law of divine oneness. everything is connected. everything in the universe is an extension of source energy, which means that on a spiritual level, nothing is separate.

2. law of vibration. everything is made of energy, and energy vibrates at a specific frequency.

3. law of correspondence. your external reality is a direct reflection of your internal state. this law can help you assess the alignment of your vibration.

4. law of attraction. your energy is constantly attracting its vibrational match.

5. law of inspired action. inspiration will come once you are aligned with who you are- an extension of source.

6. law of perpetual transmutation of energy. energy is constantly evolving and fluctuating.

7. law of cause and effect. where your focus goes energy flows. our thoughts is the cause, and our experiences are the effect.

8. law of compensation. you get what you give, you reap what you sow. what you withhold from others will be withheld from you.

9. law of relativity. everything is relative because we all perceive reality in our own way.

10. law of polarity. everything has an opposite. or every problem, there’s a solution. for every right, there’s a left.

11. law of rhythm. like the four seasons, everything in life has a cycle.

12. law of gender. when both your masculine and feminine energies are in alignment.
