My truth and why I speak on the balance of the divine masculine and feminine, as well as sacred sexuality ↡ 🌹 I was a product of evangelical purity culture, which praises abstinence and physical purity amongst women. This created a deeply seeded sense of self-worth issues, body image issues, and a MASSIVE imbalance of my divine feminine and masculine. I reacted with a very toxic feminine mindset. 🌹 I believed that male attention and validation was something to be sought after, but only to a certain extent – because your body and YOU were worthless if you ever had your “purity” compromised (purity and virginity are social constructs used to control and limit the divine feminine). 🌹 I engaged in a “situationship” in college, with a man who already had a girlfriend. I took whatever sexual validation that I could get while he propositioned several times to take my virginity (he offered it up like he’d be doing me a favor). That relationship had a million things unhealthy about it, but I allowed it because of my toxic feminine template that simultaneously rebelled against and followed purity doctrine. 🌹 I transferred universities and things ended when a third woman was revealed to have been in the picture. What followed was years of man-bashing and a deeper divide in my masculine and feminine balance. I felt unworthy and rejected my own truth. I needed to lie to feel accepted. Now, I’ve never experienced that level of sexual intimacy with someone (I don’t use the word ‘virgin’): let me tell you why that’s EMPOWERING AS FUCK. ↡ 🌹 I used to be embarrassed by it. I was ashamed of my decisions. I felt like it was abnormal and misplaced a lot of my self worth in that. But through the ongoing process of healing my masculine and feminine, I couldn’t be happier with where I am today. That’s my truth. I’ve shed preconceived notions about purity culture and abandoned anything related to guilt and shame. Sex is one of the most powerful energy exchanges in the 3D and now that’s something that I’ll enter into with complete consciousness. 🌹 If you’re a product of purity culture, know you aren’t alone. You aren’t broken, maybe just imbalanced. You’re empowered to heal.
