Tap Into Your Feminine Power to Write

Tap Into Your Feminine Power to Write by Lisa Tener | #AspireMag

Your Feminine Power is one of the most powerful tools you can use to write.

Feminine Power is:

  • Creative like nature
  • Flowing like a river
  • Powerful as an ocean wave
  • Magical as a dream
  • Consistent as the sunrise

When you tap into your feminine power, the writing can be more compelling, beautiful, easy and fun. You’ll likely enjoy the process more and the writing will likely have a stronger voice and be more authentic and moving to your readers.

Here are some ways to tap into your power when you write:

WRITE IN NATURE: Just by being outdoors and in nature, your whole body can relax and connect to all that is. Nature offers a million metaphors and inspirations—from the insects that buzz by, to the many sounds you can hear, to the vegetation around you. If you have trouble getting started on your project, just write about what you observe for five to ten minutes. Once you’ve gotten going you can switch to writing on the topic at hand.

USE THE POWER OF RITUAL: Ritual is one of the oldest ways to tap into our feminine power. Writers often ask me how to consistently get into the space for writing to flow and I often recommend ritual. Perhaps your ritual is a walk in nature before writing. Or reading a vision statement about your book. Or maybe you say a prayer or meditate. Consistently tapping into the same ritual will give it more power over time to help you consistently get into that state of flow.

FIND YOUR PERSONAL POWER HOUR: My private clients and book-writing students often ask me if there’s a best time to write. Yes, there often is, but that perfect time varies from person to person. If you want to find out the best time for you, try early morning, mid morning, mid-afternoon and evening. See which seems to be your most creative time. For me, morning is often a great time to access my writing muse because I’m still in that creative state from sleep where it’s easy to access the power and symbols of dreams and the unconscious.

Many people find that writing at the same time each day makes them more productive. That way, your creative mind and muse get in a creative groove.

Morning tends to be a powerful time to write, because the mind isn’t cluttered. You’ve just been sleeping and you’re close to that creative sleep/dream energy, full of symbolism and layered meanings. Perfect.

Evening can be productive, too, if you can put aside your concerns of the day–work, meal planning, conversations, people–and clear your mental and emotional slates for writing.

Some people feel peak energy mid-day. If this describes you, go for it.

What about writing in the middle of the night? A student in my Bring Your Book to Life® Program found herself waking up in the middle of the night to write. She enjoyed the flow of ideas, but she paid for it the next day when she dragged herself to work. This happened several days in a row. What to do?

As we spoke, it became clear that her jam-packed days made it hard for her muse to settle down and write. She often didn’t have the time and, when she did make time to write, she felt rushed. Once she made time for her muse during the work day, set some boundaries, and took a few items off her plate, she didn’t need to wake up in the middle of the night to write her book.

RECALL A TIME WHEN YOU WROTE IN THE FLOW: When you recall a heightened state , you can tap into that same state again. Remember what it was like, how it felt to write in that state. What did you see? Feel? Hear? Think?

Enough about how to tap in—now just pick one of the above ideas and do it!
