One of the biggest secrets to manifesting your most abundant life is to connect with your body and a great way to do that is through listening to that feminine energy you have inside. The patriarchy is all about pushing yourself and staying in your head, but you have to be able to use that feminine, Shakti, energy to manifest and create the life you want to live.
This episode calls forth the feminine energy in every one of us. The balance of both is crucial to building your dream. We get close and personal with ways to learn about and listen to your body from pleasure, to self-massage, and sensual experiences. This one might just surprise you!

Episode #481: How To Use Sensual Energy For Manifesting with Mia Magik
By Sahara Rose
[00:00] Sahara
However, when we slow down our breath, we tell our bodies that they are safe, and in that safety, they can blossom, they can create, they can receive the intuitive downloads, but when we’re in survival mode, we don’t have the space to even channel our highest selves. So, there are so many incredible breathwork practices that you can do, whether it is holotropic breathwork, which is actually quite more in the masculine, I want to add that, because a lot of the breathwork that we’re seeing these days, which is, like, very goal-oriented, Whim-Hof, like, there’s beauty, and I do those practices too, as well, however, they are enhancing that masculine energy; doing cold plunges, that’s enhancing the masculine energy, whereas the feminine energy is a lot more receptive. So, really breathing in through your root chakra, through your womb, through your pussy space, letting that breath fill up your body like warm honey, that’s just nourishing you and soothing you and replenishing you, and letting it move as slow as possible, particularly the exhales.
A lot of us, we’re very inhale focused, but it’s hard for us to exhale because it’s hard for us to release, and it’s hard for us to orgasm, it’s the same energy of letting go.
[01:12] Mia
Surrendering.
[01:13] Sahara
Surrendering. So, being in that practice of taking slow breaths in, holding at the top in the third eye, which is the seat of masculine consciousness, and then letting it wither down through your heart, into your womb, into your root, down into your Pachamama, mama terra, that earth.

[02:18] Sahara
So, on top of being an author, I’m also a DJ and an embodiment guide. I am a founder of two 7-figure businesses and I really love stepping outside of the box, continually, and giving people permission to do the same.

[02:48] Sahara
So, in this Episode, we share our top five techniques to really manifest anything in life. And you know, for us, manifestation is not about just, like, writing something down and then it happens, and just putting it on your vision board, but it’s really an embodied practice of taking aligned action towards your truth.
So, we share some of our own stories and experiences, in hopes of letting you see the full spectrum of manifestation.

[03:22] Sahara
So, before dropping into this Episode, start thinking about what it is that you are manifesting. You know, maybe it’s a career that is in alignment with your dharma, your true self, and if so, I have a book for you, my book “Discover Your Dharma”, or maybe it is aligned relationship, feel fully seen and acknowledged, or maybe it’s a home that you feel very supported and grounded in, or maybe it’s a group of friends that you feel you can be your full self with, or maybe it’s abundance so you don’t have to worry about rent and you can feel like you’re in your creative expression.
So, I invite you to just take a moment about what that thing is for you right now, and without further ado now, let’s drop into the Episode!

Welcome back to your most magical life and our series of Manifesting Your Magic. Today, we are going to be talking about divine feminine energy, working with the Goddess and harnessing all of the power that exists within women, with you, and doesn’t matter your gender to be watching this, because you can always align with, and attune to, the frequency of the feminine energy and what it means to be in connecting with your creative power, your lifeforce energy and all of the sensual pleasure that life has to offer for us.
[05:04] Sahara
So, first of all, what is divine feminine energy? So, all of us have both divine masculine and feminine energy, regardless of our assigned gender.
So, the divine feminine really represents our more inward intuitive and receptive selves, whereas the masculine energy represents more of our assertive, outward and yang selves.
So, you can think about the yin/yang that many of us have seen since the time we were kids, it really represents that duality of feminine and masculine being. When you dive so deeply, you actually find the masculine in there, as well as when you dive so deeply into your masculine, you find the feminine.
Now, the reason why we and so many are talking about divine feminine energy right now is because the feminine has been repressed. For the past 2000 or so years, we have been in a patriarchal era, so, we have been taught to value men and qualities that are deemed masculine.
So, right now, we are having a renaissance of divine feminine energy, but most of us are disconnected from it, we don’t trust it, we feel like “If I’m not doing, pushing, exerting myself, If I’m not competing with the person next to me, then I’m going to fall behind!” So, really, what we get to nurture right now is our divine feminine energy, to let her guide us places that we never would’ve gone before.
[06:19] Mia
A big part of working with the divine feminine, that Sahara and I have both engaged in, that can be really supportive, is just knowing that there is a feminine energy in the universe, at all, that there is a Goddess, the same that there is a God. And you don’t even have to believe in God as the holy, all eternal creator, or like the dude in the sky with the beard, because that certainly doesn’t resonate for me, but there is a balanced energy, there is both, there are two sides, there are – really, what I love to see it as, is that, when creation begins, when all is one, the first thing that can happen in order for anything to occur is that it splits into two and it’s just those two poles that we’re talking about, and one of them gets to be the divine feminine energy.
So, one of my personal favorite ways to connect with, and harness, that divine feminine energy within myself, is to speak to, and about, that lifeforce, creative energy as the Goddess. And so many of us have grown up in Judeo, Christian or Islamic religions, or having some kind of frequency of, like, God the Father, this dude in the sky who is going to get down and smote you, that’s the patriarchal culture that Sahara’s talking about. And that Father, to me, from everything that I’ve heard about it, that Father seems to be, kind of, pretty punitive and is not really loving and supportive. Now, did I have a father like that? Yeah, most of the time. But there were also some really beautiful moments where he was playful, and loving, and he was excited to be around us, and my dad would, like, write me these letters when he was gone, and that part of the God energy, the Father that we think of in most religions, I don’t see that there.
And so, really reconnecting to all of the ways that you would’ve loved your father to be. And that is one of the most powerful things that we get to do when we tune in with the Goddess, is like, because we haven’t heard anything about her, because nobody talks about her, we get to make her anything that we desire. What would the ultimate queen, the ultimate mother, the ultimate woman be, look like, show up as, for you?
And so, I love to just refer to God, as the Goddess, and that doesn’t mean that I’m pushing the masculine out, I just really had to reprogram my, honestly my relationship to that word. It used to trigger me really bad because I was like “Who’s this dude sitting up there that’s going to shoot lightning bolts at me?” I’m sure I’ve made a lot of mistakes and I have seen the lightning bolts yet, you know, like, I’m still here, I’m doing fine. And so, it just didn’t seem real to me. But when I started talking to the divine as if there was a feminine energy present and alive, mostly, you know, for me, I love the natural world, y’all know I love to be outside with my bare feet and to hang out and talk to the trees, but when I started talking to that energy as if it was this maternal presence, as if it was this loving mother that was there to support me, who would hold me in her arms and in her embrace, everything in my life started to change and so, working with, and utilizing, Goddess energy. If you desire, if that resonates for you, can be so deeply nourishing and is really important for creating balance and just reconnecting us to where we came from. Every indigenous culture, throughout history, originally was matrilineal, the lines passed through the women because we didn’t use to have paternity tests, it was like, if a woman carried a child, you knew that child was hers. So, we were the original leaders in society, the oracles, the diviners, and really, the healers as well, so, there’s so much.
Y’all, I can hear our podcasts on it, both of us have so, so much information on divine feminine, but it’s really, really about knowing that, if there is a God, there is a Goddess as well.
[10:28] Sahara
So beautifully said! And our first tip for you to actually experience this divine feminine energy within you is through your breath. So, we can’t control our heart rate or our digestive system, or any of the organs within, but the one system that we actually can control is our respiratory system, the way that we are breathing. And so much research has shown, but we don’t even need the research because we trust our bodies, but you have had that experience, that when you’re breathing really heavy and really shallow, you’re actually feeling more anxious, and nervous, and on edge vs when you slow down and, like right now, take a deep breath in and exhale it out, you instantly feel more nourished, grounded, anchored, rooted.
Most of us, we don’t breathe properly because we don’t feel safe, you know. Imagine if we were being chased by a tiger or a lion, we need to be breathing like this because it keeps our sympathetic nervous system going. However, when we slow down our breath, we tell our bodies that they are safe, and in that safety, they can blossom, they can create, they can receive the intuitive downloads, but when we’re in survival mode, we don’t have the space to even channel our highest selves. So, there are so many incredible breathwork practices that you can do, whether it is holotropic breathwork, which is actually quite more in the masculine, I want to add that, because a lot of the breathwork that we’re seeing these days, which is, like, very goal-oriented, Whim-Hof, like, there’s beauty, and I do those practices too, as well, however, they are enhancing that masculine energy; doing cold plunges, that’s enhancing the masculine energy, whereas the feminine energy is a lot more receptive. So, really breathing in through your root chakra, through your womb, through your pussy space, letting that breath fill up your body like warm honey, that’s just nourishing you and soothing you and replenishing you, and letting it move as slow as possible, particularly the exhales.
A lot of us, we’re very inhale focused, but it’s hard for us to exhale because it’s hard for us to release, and it’s hard for us to orgasm, it’s the same energy of letting go.
[12:41] Mia
Surrendering.
[12:42] Sahara
Surrendering. So, being in that practice of taking slow breaths in, holding at the top in the third eye, which is the seat of masculine consciousness, and then letting it wither down through your heart, into your womb, into your root, down into your Pachamama, mama terra, that earth. And this earth connection in our womb space is the connection to the divine feminine.
So, like Mia said, literally, going outside, having your feet on the ground, but connecting to the earth, that is you, your body.
[13:16] Mia
Yes.
[13:17] Sahara
Your body is that natural expression of the earth we are nature. So, it’s so important for us to have practices to connect back to our vessel, which we’ll be sharing more with you about in this video.
But we can’t do any of those practices if our breath is not in alignment first. So, before you go to the dancing or the yoni steaming, or any of that stuff, even if you just have five seconds, if you can just take an exhale and release any pent-up energy through your body, you’re instantly going to feel so more connected to your feminine.
[13:45] Mia
Totally! And one of my favorite feminine practices with breathwork is to choose a part of my body to do a slow deep connected breath. And like Sahara was saying, there are so many of the masculine, like [breath], you know, there’s all of that, you can do all of that, there are benefits to that, great, bless it, I do those things too, you know, we’re into that. And the deeply feminine practice is a connected breath which is just a deep long inhale, no pause, and a deep long exhale, again, no pause, and just keeping a really rhythmic wave of breath in and out, in and out. And one of the ways that I love to do that practice, that I learned from my teacher Layla Martin, who we’re having dinner with, so, like, bless her, God, that woman, so brilliant, if you don’t know her work, go check her out! And what she does is specific breathing into the heart, into the womb, into your breasts, different places, from your pussy, just specifically focusing on your pussy, breathing in through your pussy and out through your pussy. And reconnecting to those places, honestly, at her retreat in Mexico, doing the womb breathing practice was one of the most profound experiences of my entire life, deeper than any ayahuasca journey I’ve ever had, like, it took me all the way there, just breathing my own lifeforce energy into and out of my womb. So, that can be an incredibly profound practice.
And speaking of the womb, one of the little tidbits that I just love, that I think is so important, the word man, comes from manas, which means mind, and in Latin, in our languages, but in other languages as well, the root word where man comes from is the same meaning as mind. And so, wo-man is the womb mind, we’re meant to think from our wombs, we’re meant to follow the guidance from our wombs, that creative lifeforce energy, the power of being able to birth a new soul from inside of our bodies. That energy is what, really, women are meant to harness, focus on, cultivate, utilize. That’s why we used to be the leaders, right? And that’s why it became threatening to people, and that’s why the patriarchy was born, not birthed, but born, is because of that deep magnificent power that exists within women, and it being a threat.
So, one of the practices that I also really love is doing breast massage, and it is such a heart-opening practice. And I know a lot of women who, when they first start doing it, they just start sobbing, they’re just crying, they cannot stop releasing emotions because there’s so much energy stuck in our hearts that we just don’t know, it’s old. We’ve talked about the witch wounds and all of the different things that are thrust upon us, making us feel like we’re supposed to be like men, we’re supposed to, you know, work through our moon cycle and not ever get emotional, and just be rigid and strict like this, but then, if we’re too rigid, we’re frigid and it’s bad, and it’s so confusing being a woman in the modern day.
And so, doing breast massage is really a powerful practice, like, it will blow your mind. Try it for just a couple of minutes and you will have some kind of experience. And so, the one thing that I want to note – you can do it in many different directions, sideways, and up and down, and over, and all the things are welcome, whatever feels right to you, but generally, from the Taoist tradition, the ancient eastern traditions of harnessing and utilizing sexual energy.
If you have any type of lump or anything (like cysts), anything in your breasts, you don’t want to do the up on the outside direction because that is more of an amplification energy. So, you want to stick to just up on the inside and down on the outside. And you can do the other directions as well, like side to side and just, you know, massaging them however it feels right to you, but there is a Taoist practice of amplifying your heart energy where you go up on the outside and down on the inside, and using the circles around your breasts like that. And you just don’t want to do that if you have any type of issues in your breasts, just so that you don’t amplify them. But anything else you want to amplify, you go right ahead and do it, and it will really change your life! It’s an assignment that I give to so many of my clients and the experiences that they have with it are just absolutely mind-blowing.
[18:24] Sahara
Such beautiful wisdom! And what I love about divine feminine energy is that it shows that each of our body parts is a teacher, you know. The breasts are the heart, our ability to give and receive love, they have an outward energy, that’s why they literally protrude outward from our body, whereas for men, they don’t have breasts, it’s an inward receptive zone for them; whereas our wombs, they go inward, they are the hologram of the universe. Every single person is created and birthed through this portal of the womb, that’s why in Sanskrit, they call it yoni, which literally translates to portal between two worlds.
So, as feminine beings, we carry that portal and that is why, naturally, we are more receptive to intuitive hits, ancestors, natural beings, elementals, because we have this coding within ourselves that requires us to be this way. However, like we’ve mentioned, so many of us have cut ourselves from it because we think it’s dangerous, we think it’s going to get us in trouble, we think it’s not as worthwhile. So, it’s really about remembering and harnessing, and doing these practices like the breast massage, another practice we’ll be sharing with you (to work with your womb wisdom) are so impactful. Before we get there, movement is one of the best ways to start cultivating that divine feminine energy.
So, masculine consciousness is a lot more goal-oriented, it either wants to be running towards a goal or in complete stillness, right? It wants to be in that space of like “I’m in my cave in the Himalayas, by myself, and leave me alone”, whereas the feminine, the Shakthi energy is a lot more about immersing itself with the community, and the children, and the plants, and the food, and enjoying life. So, that feminine energy within us, it wants to move, it wants to spiral, it wants to undulate.
So, if you find yourself, and probably when you were a kid, they said “Sit still! Stop moving, stop fidgeting so much”, that we’ve trained ourselves to not move, but start getting in the practice, even while you’re sitting there right now, start moving your body, feel what wants to circle. The feminine moves in spirals, so maybe it’s chest circles, hip circles – I love to do hip circles whenever I’m working with my finances, like, from checking my bank statement, because that’s that sacral chakra energy, it represents abundance, divine feminine, creativity, pleasure. So, doing hip circles, just getting back into your body. And if you are someone that does a lot of linear movement like running or weightlifting, have a practice that you just do non-linear, sporadic, free-flowing ecstatic movement, because, again, our bodies are that vessel.
So, for us to be able to open up to the intuitive hits, we must learn how to first use our bodies, to receive that. And if you are used to like “I’m not a good dancer, I need to do choreography”, how do I let my body guide me? You know, maybe my shoulder just wants to do this for a while, my neck wants to do this, and then you can start to incorporate self-touch, which is just gently caressing your body and giving yourself that same love and affection that you would give a lover. Just allowing our bodies to feel that touch, it actually creates the same response whether it’s from ourselves or someone else.
So, dance has been the biggest practice for me of connecting back to my divine feminine energy. One of the best ways is just when you start your day, for five minutes, play some of your favorite songs, maybe some really sensual, beautiful music, or whatever gets you going, and let yourself dance, without any choreography or a YouTube video, anything like that, just let yourself be in your body and let it guide you.
[21:53] Mia
So, our last practice has mixed reviews, but I think that it’s just part of the patriarchal system, that’s, like, telling people that you shouldn’t use it because this magical little seed, crystal, stone, yoni egg, has been used, again, in the Taoist tradition, for thousands of years! This is made from imperial jade, it does have a little satin string on it, and you can put this egg up inside your yoni (that’s why it’s called a yoni egg), and I personally recommend, you know, people will sell you eggs of all different crystals and types, and I recommend a non-porest stone (jade is a non-porest stone). You know, like, how rose quartz and some stones will have little cracks and things, amethyst, like that, just I case, who knows what’s going to happen, I’m sure it’s going to be fine, but I really recommend non-porest stones. My favorite is imperial jade and obsidian, those are really great for me, that’s the best. A black stone, like Sahara was talking about, with the womb, it is that vacuum, sort of void, receptive energy, I love when you said the womb is the hologram of the universe, I was like “Oh, that’s so good!” And that black energy of obsidian is really great for healing and transmuting energy. So, if you have a lot of sexual trauma, or you have had a lot of negative experiences with your pussy, with your yoni, with your womb, where, maybe you haven’t known your own boundaries our you haven’t been able to say “No, this is not what I want”, and your pussy has pain or numbness, or really just doesn’t feel super receptive to sexual energy, and obsidian egg is so, so powerful and impactful. And if you’re just doing healing or strengthening, a jade – I know this looks black, it’s actually a really dark green, if I can get a little sunlight, it’s really dark green, but this egg is so magical. Any green stone is connected to the heart chakra and to the abundance of love in our lives, so, this stone, you can literally put up inside of your yoni and you can do, like, thev weightlifting practices and stuff, if you want. But one of the most gentle, easy, beautiful ways to heal using a yoni egg, is just to use a slight tightening or clenching, just to really feel the sensation of it, and then take a deep breath, again like that pussy, your womb, yoni, your breathing, and circulate that energy around yourself. You can circulate it up the front of your body and down the back of your body, that’s more like the yin cycle, or if you want to really generate or amplify, activate more energy, you can breathe it up your spine and then down the front of your body. You can circulate it to the side, from your feminine side, mostly known as the left side, to your masculine side, or your masculine to your feminine. You can do it in figure 8s, you can breathe it just up into your heart, you can do whatever feels right to you, honestly, follow your intuit-witchen and inner guidance system. But this is an incredibly transformative practice and there’s all kinds of beautiful courses about doing jade egg work, if that’s something you want to dive deeper into, but this is definitely a magical little seed.
And I’ve done a lot of rituals with my yoni egg where, you know, crystals are literally what allow all of our technology to work, we don’t think about that very often but we have crystals in our radios and in our cellphones, so, you can program this. And what I will do is set an intention with my yoni egg, let it know what the seeds are I’m planting, and then put it inside of myself and do my practice, whether it’s a pleasure practice or just breathwork, or doing a breath practice that’s specifically designed around the jade egg, like, I was just sharing with the microcosmic orbit, and really feeling, like Sahara said, my body as the fertile soil of the earth for the seeds of whatever the intention is that I’m planting to be nourished and to begin to grow and sprout within me.
So, these are just a couple of amazing, really super simple, beautiful ways that you can connect to and nurture your divine feminine energy. And you can definitely stay tuned with both of us for a lot more about that because it’s never going to stop, and it’s so beautiful to be a devotee of the Goddess with you, and to just see the way that you show up as her and the way that I get to show up as her, and that we all have these unique and different emanations of her, and it’s such a gift and such a blessing.
So, another way that we didn’t even mention is spending time with other Goddesses, you know, with other people who you can feel their appreciation for that same divine feminine energy.

Episode #481: How To Use Sensual Energy For Manifesting with Mia Magik
By Sahara Rose
