Return to the Natural Flow of the Divine Feminine
We were taught to earn love through effort.
To be worthy by producing.
To give until we are empty.
But this is not how the divine feminine energy moves.
The true rhythm of life is not transactional – it is cyclical.
Like the tides, like your own breath.
It gives and receives, constantly, without keeping score.
Many people feel caught in a loop of over-giving.
You give your time and care, you support others’ dreams –
but when you reach for nourishment, nothing seems to flow back.
This exhaustion is not a sign that you are broken.
🌸 But a sign that you need to pay attention to your feminine energy (regardless of your gender).
1. Begin by Returning to Yourself
Before you pour out, come home.
Before you offer, listen.
Ask yourself gently:
Is my giving an overflow, or is it a plea to get something back?
Am I sharing from fullness, or from fear of being forgotten?
You do not need to judge the answer – only notice.
Even the noticing itself is love returning home.
Nurture yourself first: a slow morning, a warm meal, five minutes of silence.
These are not luxuries.
They are acts of restoration.
You are not withdrawing from the world –
you are reconnecting with the source that makes genuine giving possible.
2. Receive from Life, as Life
Receiving is not passive.
It is an active surrender – a deep trust that life moves through you, not because you earned it,
but because you are it.
Notice how abundance already touches you:
sunlight on your skin, a quiet afternoon, a word that finds you when you needed it.
This is the Earth Element in motion –
motherly, nourishing, unhurried, unconditional.
You are not “manifesting” abundance;
you are remembering the natural rhythm you were born into.
3. Overflow into the World
Once your inner river flows again, giving becomes effortless.
You don’t give to earn, you give to express.
To celebrate what’s alive in you.
Make someone tea, write a letter, share your art,
simply because beauty wants to move through you.
This is how the divine feminine blesses the world –
not by sacrifice, but by presence.
4. Let Love Complete the Circle
Allow yourself to receive again – from others, from the unseen, from your own work.
You don’t have to “deserve” it.
Just like giving, receiving is sacred, too.
Each time you let love in, you affirm that the cycle is whole.
Each time you trust that what is meant for you will find you,
you widen the channel for everyone else.
This is the abundance flow of the divine feminine –
not a transaction, but a tidal movement,
not an equation, but an ecology.
🌕 Explore this through the course Divine Feminine: The Art of Receiving
If you’re ready to soften into this new rhythm,
to restore the wholeness of giving and receiving within yourself,
you’re invited to explore Divine Feminine: The Art of Receiving –
a journey to unlearn depletion,
and remember your sacred Yin.
This course isn’t here to fix you. It’s here to remind you that you were never broken.
You already know how to get things done. You’ve achieved so much – maybe even everything you thought you were supposed to want.
And yet… something inside still whispers:
There’s more.
More radiance. More wonder. More truth.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful post. I happened to find this today – on a day where I felt absolutely exhausted and on the edge of the giving up cliff. Your words brought me back to safety. I bookmarked this on my phone’s home screen and tweeted it out. I know that this post is abundance in and of itself. Again, from my heart, thank you.
Hey Diana, thank YOU SO MUCH!! It must be really tough and you are so courageous, kind and beautiful! Thanks for your heartfelt comment & tweets, and much more importantly for not giving up. Big hug to you and please know that you can always write to me – I mean it! Sending you much and much love xoxoxo
Beautiful article Yiye ! I have met many people who think this way.
I’ve seen many go from one belief system to the next.
Most often this is due to issues over money.
They go into a spiritual practice expecting financial gain.
When it doesn’t happen they give up.
Many actually stop meditating for this reason !
I wish you a very blessed vacation !
Enjoy ! Love to you !
Hey Cynthia! Oh yes, thanks a lot for pointing it out! It’s very damaging to use spiritual practice or meditation as a way to bypass any real work that we must do/face! Your wise words, kind encouragement and beautiful essence is much much appreciated!! Love to you too!!! xoxoxo
Great tips. Thank you for sharing!
You are welcome Laura!

Yiye,

Always an honor sweetheart! Sending love to you!
Beautifully written and on the spot! Even when we know all 4 steps, sometimes we forget and push push push, instead of retreating inward and focusing on ourself.
Thank you Yiye for your wonderful articles.
