Know Where You Start and Where You Finish Energetically

As women, we are often taught to be open, accommodating, and available, to pour ourselves into relationships, work, and the needs of others. But in this constant giving, it’s easy to lose sight of our own energetic edges. We may find ourselves depleted, overwhelmed, or carrying emotions that are not our own.
True empowerment begins with knowing where you start and where you finish energetically. This is the foundation of sovereignty, the ability to stand fully in your own essence without being swayed or drained by external forces.
Through the practice of Fembodiment™, we cultivate this awareness by deepening our relationship with our energy, our boundaries, and our truth. Let’s explore what it means to honour your energetic container and claim your rightful space in the world.
Energetic Boundaries: Protecting Your Inner Space.
Energetic boundaries are just as vital as physical ones. They define the space between your energy and the energy of others. Without them, you may find yourself absorbing emotions, expectations, and projections that don’t belong to you.
A strong energetic boundary does not mean shutting yourself off. It means standing in your power, knowing what you allow into your field, and recognising when something does not serve you. It is the ability to hold your centre, whether in a conversation, a relationship, or an environment, without losing yourself.
Ask yourself:
Do I leave interactions feeling drained or nourished?
Am I carrying energy that doesn’t belong to me?
How can I honour my space without guilt or apology?
Feminine Wisdom: Trusting the Body’s Signals.
Your body is always speaking to you. It whispers through sensations, subtle shifts, and deep knowing. The wisdom of the feminine is not logical, it is felt, sensed, and embodied.
When you learn to track these signals, you begin to discern what is in alignment with your energy and what is not. A sudden contraction in your belly, a feeling of heaviness in your chest, or a spark of excitement in your heart, these are all messages guiding you toward deeper self-trust.
Honouring your feminine wisdom means slowing down long enough to listen, to pause before saying yes, and to acknowledge the intuitive no that arises before the mind has time to rationalise it away.
Knowing Your Yes and Your No.
A powerful woman knows what is a yes and what is a no in her body. She doesn’t over-explain or justify her decisions. She simply knows.
A yes feels expansive, warm, and alive. A no feels contracted, tight, or depleting. When you begin to honour these responses without second-guessing, you step into true self-respect.
If you struggle with this, start small. Notice how your body responds to simple decisions, what to eat, where to sit, who to spend time with. Your body is already guiding you. The question is, are you willing to listen?
Expressing Your Needs Without Question.
Many women have been conditioned to believe that expressing needs makes them too much or demanding. But the truth is, your needs are not negotiable. They are the foundation of your well-being.
When you clearly express what you require, whether it’s space, time, rest, or support, you set a standard for how you wish to be treated. And the more you honour your own needs, the more others will honour them too.
Remember, your needs are not up for debate. They are not something you have to justify. They simply are.
A Deeper Understanding of Your Energy Levels.
Your energy is cyclical, ever-changing, and deeply personal. Some days you may feel expansive and radiant; other days, you may need stillness and retreat. Knowing where you start and where you finish means recognising these fluctuations and respecting them without guilt.
Feminine energy is not linear. It ebbs and flows like the tides. When you tune into your natural rhythm, you stop forcing yourself to perform at a constant output and instead honour the wisdom of your body’s timing.
Ask yourself:
When do I feel the most alive and creative?
When does my body ask for rest, and do I listen?
How can I align my life with my natural energy cycles?
Becoming a ‘Know-Thyself’ Specialist.
At the heart of it all is self-intimacy, the deep, unshakable knowing of who you are and what you need. Becoming a Know-Thyself Specialist means becoming fluent in your own energy, your own boundaries, and your own truth.
It is a commitment to never abandoning yourself. To trust what you feel. To honour what is real for you, no matter how inconvenient or uncomfortable it may seem to others.
Because the moment you fully claim yourself, your energy, your desires, your no and your yes, is the moment you step into your fullest power.
Your Energy Is Sacred. Honour It.
You are not here to carry what is not yours. You are not here to shrink, overextend, or explain yourself away.
You are here to hold your space with clarity. To move through the world with a deep knowing of who you are. To honour where you begin and where you end.
Because when you do, you stand taller. You walk lighter. And you move through life with the unshakable presence of a woman who knows herself deeply.
