The Noble Queen raising her Immortal Child; the four walls that shelter you 

 You have in your DNA everything you could ever dream of.

Your experiences are everyone’s and everyone’s experiences are yours. The god you serve will serve you in turn so make of your own body a temple of beauty. Let your skin be perfumed, your breasts be sweet and only a few may know their flavor, your lips be soft and only the worthy one may seal them. Set up walls built on self-knowledge, self-consistency, self-respect and self-love.

Let these four walls raise you in nobility in your inner kingdom.

Today we’re diving into the art of feminine energy, embodied by the white tiger and the principles of Yin. First, let’s clear this up: the white tiger is a symbol for the Yin energy. Think of it as a way to connect with that fierce part of yourself. We’re talking about your inner power – not loud, not in-your-face; steady, and a part of everything around you. This is the part of you that holds space for growth, intuition, respect, and that subtle energy everyone notices but can’t quite put their finger on. You know the one, right?

The ancient teachings knew what they were talking about. The white tiger was this icon of Yin energy, while its counterpart, the green dragon, was all about the Yang, the masculine energy. Masculine energy pushes and asserts, while feminine energy flows and nurtures. The combination is pure magic.

Look at the pyramids in Egypt – each one held mysteries and wisdom, and right there, always, was the presence of the goddess, the feminine touch that anchored all of it. This is a truth about energy. In Greece, the Temple of Delphi had a high priestess who was the go-to for wisdom.

I see there’s this idea that the God of the Bible was originally seen as more than just a “he.” The word used, Elohim, was plural, which means gods and goddesses. Let that sink in. Somewhere along the way, we lost that divine feminine, and a lot of us, whether we know it or not, are trying to reconnect with it. It’s like we’re searching for this missing piece.

Now, because you’re here, I know you’re looking to tap into this side of yourself. You’re over the idea that spirituality has to look a certain way or be approved by others. So let’s talk about how to actually harness this Yin energy.

In esoteric traditions, especially those in Taoism, they teach that this Yin energy is like water. Water is life-giving, essential, as well as adaptable and powerful. Ever see a river carve its way through rock? That’s the energy you have within. But it needs to be cultivated, honored, allowed to grow. This is where practices like White Tigress Tantra come in, a method for women to connect with that depth within them.

I found out ancient Taoist practices weren’t really focused on men. Yep, you read that right. They were about women cultivating their inner energy, amplifying it, transmuting it. They called it cultivating Chi, this life force, and transforming it into something higher, called Shen, spiritual energy. Rumi said, “Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.” Babe, that’s exactly what these teachings are getting at.

Let’s break it down to something practical. Yin energy is symbolized by water – cool, flowing, adaptable. Yang, the masculine, is fire – hot, intense, forward-moving. This philosophy goes so far as to say that our bodies embody these energies, too. For women, the energy is directed inward and then rises. Picture a downward-facing triangle. For men, the energy is all about rising upward. When these two meet? You get this powerful six-pointed star, a symbol that’s held sacred in geometry, representing unity and balance.

You can call it Seal of Solomon, hexagram – it’s a symbol older than most religions today. People were using this symbol to represent the harmony of the universe, that divine connection that’s within us all. And the wisdom behind it has been passed down through countless cultures: the Knights Templar, the Kabbalists, the Aryan Magi of ancient Persia. These traditions knew that true power isn’t found in one direction; it’s in the fusion of opposites, the masculine and feminine, coming together in balance.

So, where does this leave us? Right here, in the present, where we’re realizing that these practices are as relevant as ever. We’re starting to see that harnessing our energy, both feminine and masculine, gives us a strength that’s unlike anything else. If you want to feel centered, powerful, at peace – the peace that’s steady, not dependent on outside validation – this is the path.

Let’s talk about techniques, because I know you want to know the “how,” not just the “what.” Mantak Chia, a well-known teacher in the field of Taoist practices, has been bringing these teachings to the West. And one thing he emphasizes is that activating feminine energy doesn’t have to be this complicated ritual. It can be as simple as putting your hand over your heart or breathing deeply into your belly. These small actions bring energy, life force, into areas of your body that modern life tends to ignore.

Think about your heart center for a second. This is your true home, the seat of your consciousness, as ancient teachings would put it. When you breathe into it, you’re calming yourself – you’re literally igniting that energy within. This is why practices like deep breathing, meditation, and even self-touch (yes, even rubbing your hands together and pressing them over your heart) can be powerful.

Let’s go deeper into why this all matters. When we talk about “awakening the feminine,” it’s about becoming grounded in your own power, owning your worth, realizing that you have everything you need within you. You’re not trying to be more “masculine” or forceful; you’re tapping into something that’s uniquely yours – a power that is both soft and strong.

Now, I can hear some of you wondering, “Does this mean I need to be solo to experience this energy?” No, not at all. These practices were never just about isolation. They’re about becoming whole so that when you do connect with someone, you’re doing it from a place of fullness. Imagine being able to share your energy with someone else, without ever feeling depleted. That’s what this work gives you – the ability to connect with others without losing yourself.

The Taoist approach even emphasizes what’s known as the “microcosmic orbit.” Think of it as a loop of energy within your body that you can circulate, like a closed circuit. This technique helps balance and harmonize your energies, bringing a calm vitality into your whole being. As you become more in tune with it, this energy becomes a continuous flow that doesn’t end – it just keeps growing, enhancing every part of your life.

And if you’re in a relationship, let’s get real. This is powerful gift for any partnership. When you bring this awareness into the dynamic, you’re opening up new layers of connection. Suddenly, intimacy is this sacred energy exchange, where both people are nourishing each other’s souls as well. And that is a connection that lasts.

Alright, now let’s go deeper and talk about yout Immortal Child. Meeting and raise your Immortal Child is about getting back to that pure, divine essence that’s already within you, the part Jung called “the God within.”. You’reuncovering what’s been hidden beneath layers of shame, expectations, and fears—especially the ones tied to love, validation, and identity.

Imagine your Immortal Child as a presence within you, an actual energy, untouched by the chaos of life, a space of purity and peace. Jung saw this as the divine spark, an essence of God that needs to be cultivated, and yes, protected. This is your sanctuary, a place within that no one can take away. When you nurture this energy, you’re becoming  a person who lives with intention. Only intention can create.

To actually connect with and nurture this part of you, you can start by creating a space, literally and metaphorically, that allows you to tap into it. A place where you feel safe, unjudged, and able to release anything that’s holding you back. Light a candle, let some soft music play, and close your eyes. Focus on your breath, slow and steady, feeling every inhale fill your body with warmth and every exhale release any tension or pain you’re holding onto. This is the time to let go of any shame that’s been weighing you down—shame about who you are, about past decisions, or about things you wish you could change.

As you sink into this space, visualize a small light in your core, right below your belly button. This light is your Immortal Child, this pure, divine energy that’s been waiting for you to recognize it. With each breath, let it grow brighter, filling your entire being with this warm, vibrant energy. You’re not just visualizing; you’re actually connecting with something real, a part of you that has always known who you are and who you’re meant to be. This energy is your birthright—it’s the core of your power, your joy, your resilience.

What’s amazing about this is that it directly impacts your everyday life. As you grow this inner presence, you’ll find yourself naturally creating healthier boundaries, saying no when you need to, and feeling complete in your own presence. This is the divine feminine at work. 

In relationships, especially, this work will transform everything. Instead of falling into patterns of codependency or attachment, you’ll start attracting the love that honors you, that respects your boundaries, that sees you. Healing your Immortal Child helps to heal anxious or avoidant attachments by grounding you in the love for your own soul. It’s the love that allows space for you and others to grow.

When it comes to releasing shame, especially around past decisions or experiences, know this: your Immortal Child doesn’t judge. This energy is pure, untouched by external labels or societal expectations. Speak to this part of you; let it know you’re here to love, protect, and honor it. Each day, as you connect with this inner presence, say an affirmation like, “I release the past; I honor who I am becoming.” 

The beauty of this practice is that it’s not limited to a ritual or specific steps. It’s about reconnecting with a part of yourself that’s always present, available to you. As you build this connection, you’ll find yourself aligning with your highest self. Simple things like setting boundaries, saying no, choosing relationships that honor you—these become second nature; actions that flow naturally from your inner strength.

Think of this as a path to true freedom. When you’re connected to your Immortal Child, you no longer depend on others to make you feel whole. You’re no longer seeking love or validation from the outside because you’re tapped into a well of self-respect and purpose within. This is where healing anxious or avoidant attachments begins. Instead of being driven by fear or insecurity, you’re coming from a place of strength, of abundance. You’re no longer a seeker—you’re a creator, shaping your reality from a place of divine fullness.

And if you ever feel that pull toward old habits, like needing someone’s approval or questioning your worth, pause and breathe. Return to that space within, where your Immortal Child resides, and let that energy ground you. Remind yourself that you’re whole and complete just as you are.

For the next week, try this as a daily practice. Every morning, before you start your day, sit quietly, close your eyes, and place your hands over your heart. Visualize that light within, your Immortal Child, growing brighter with every breath. Speak to it, listen to what it has to say, and let it guide you in your day ahead. Notice how your interactions change, how you feel more grounded, more connected, and less swayed by external expectations. And  reach out if you feel you need more guidance or support. I’m here for you, cheering you on as you connect with this divine part of yourself. 

Wanting nothing will get you everything. At the same time, take action and set yourself a goal, a map of the treasures you would like to discover. However… focus not on the treasures, focus on cultivating the skills you need to find them. A wise woman, recognizing her own emotional wounds, prayed to God to help her recognize her husband when he came her way. Sometimes unhealed wounds blind us and no matter how many treasures are placed before us, we are blind to them.
