Monáe's Musings | Fabulous and Fortunate Podcast

In a world where we are taught to be stoic and unmoving, one of the greatest acts of resistance and reclamation lies in moving the body in a sacred manner. The Divine Feminine isn’t just a concept — she’s a frequency. She lives in your hips, your breath, your intuition, your expression. And one of the most powerful ways to reconnect with her is through movement. Not the kind that’s about calorie counts or punishment, it’s the kind that whispers, “I’m safe in my body. I trust my rhythm. I am home.”

Here are five sacred, sensual, and soul-centered ways to honor your Divine Feminine with movement / especially when you need to feel soft, seen, and self-led again.

1. Hip Circles + Pelvic Rolls

Your womb space is a portal. It holds stories, creativity, and emotional weight — and sometimes, it just needs to move. Gentle hip circles (standing or seated) help release stored energy and reawaken your sacral chakra.

 Ritual tip: Light a candle, place your hand over your womb, and let your hips draw slow figure-eights while affirming, “I honor the wisdom within me.”

2. Slow, Sensual Dance (No Mirror Required)

This is for the you that dances alone in the kitchen, barefoot and unbothered. Sensual movement is not about performing — it’s about feeling. Let your body lead. Let your chest, hands, neck, and thighs express emotion without shame.

 Song suggestion: Put on something that makes you sway — think Sade, Raveena, drumming, or a dreamy lo-fi track. Here’s a playlist to get you started.

3. Yin Yoga or Restorative Stretches

Stillness is movement too. Yin yoga allows you to surrender and soften into each pose, holding it for several minutes to invite emotion, tension, and resistance to melt. This is deep feminine medicine.

Pose to try: Butterfly pose with a bolster under your back and one hand on your heart, one on your womb.

4. Walking Like a Goddess

Yep. Literally. Walking is underrated magic. A slow, grounded walk (especially barefoot or near nature) connects you to Earth — the ultimate feminine force. Let your spine lengthen, let your hips sway, and walk like you own the path.

 Affirm as you walk: “Every step I take is sacred. Every movement I make is divine.”

5. Shaking + Freeform Release

When you feel stuck, heavy, anxious — shake it out. Shake your hands, legs, spine. Let your voice release with it. This ancient technique is used across indigenous and diasporic cultures to release trauma and recalibrate your body’s systems.

Prompt: Turn on a drum beat or wild rhythmic track and just let go. There’s no right or wrong — only release.

Remember…

The Divine Feminine isn’t outside of you. She’s in the way you stretch after rest. The way you sway when no one’s looking. The way your body remembers what your mind forgot.

So move in devotion. Move like your body is sacred — because she is. The more we allow ourselves to tap into this energy, the deeper our relationship to resting and receiving becomes. If you want to dive deeper into this beautiful divine feminine energy, here’s a resource I recommend. So go ahead, tap in to yourself through divine movement and see what you find.
