Nymph Energy

Beautiful women dancing around the forest, their hair entwined with vines and adorned with flowers.  Their laughter echoing as they frolic barefoot weaving through the trees singing songs of fertility, beauty and love to our mother earth.  In Greek Mythology the Nymph is a female spirit that is drawn to a natural area such as groves, forests, springs, rivers etc.  

Nymphs are a symbol of freedom
Freedom of Expression
​Expression of Creativity

​To understand what I mean, remember the last time you were in a natural setting.  Barefoot upon the earth connecting to that raw powerful energy of nature and feeling the strong creative spark ignite within.  

You felt it surge throughout your body and for that moment you were one with that energy with no limitations knowing that anything was possible.

Well that is what I mean by Freedom, Expression and Creativity. 
​
 
The Nymph's are guardians of all things natural and protect the balance of nature. 
 
Their freedom shows through with their promiscuous behaviour and they find themselves frequently chased by Satyrs, the half-man half-goat gods of the woodlands. These Satyrs are reported to have an excessive libido and who spent most of their time frolicking in the groves and playing on their musical instruments when they were not chasing beautiful young women and nymphs.

​​Nymphs generally distance themselves from any sort of human contact, but are sometimes stumbled upon by those ill-fated humans wandering through the forest.  Be it their song that draws the humans close, or a glimpse of the nymph bathing in the moonlight, these encounters could be dangerous.  With the freedom of expression and promiscuity of the nymph it usually results in an intense sexual experience that leaves the traveller with an infatuation with the nymph sometimes sending them mad.  
 
Nymphs are considered very beautiful and go to great lengths to care of their appearance.  They are honoured and admired because of their beauty, their freedom and also their sensuality.  Those who have connected to the energy of the Nymph seem to have that ‘something’ about them that people are attracted to but cannot seem to pinpoint exactly what it is.

An otherworldly energy 

​​The word "nymph" is used in the modern world but is mostly used in a negative manner to describe a women who is considered ‘too’ promiscuous. 
 
This word was altered to the term ‘nymphomaniac’ to describe a woman with an ‘excessive’ need for sex, however the Nymphs within the myths are not considered as loose women despite the fact that they have the freedom of choice to sleep with who they want, when they want, and how many they want, whether human (man or woman), hero, goddess or god. 

​These nymphs are women who know their own strength, who choose freedom and are confident enough to live a life exactly how they choose to do so. 

By connecting with Nymph energy you too can draw on that strength, freedom and confidence to live your life on your terms and also to connect with your sexual power.

I ask what is negative about that

​As we move towards summer, with the weather warming and the energy increasing, take the time to connect to the energy of the Nymph.
​

Bring forth your inner strength and freedom
Connect with the sensuality of the Nymph

You can visualise this, but the connection can be so much deeper to actually participate in the exercise.
 
Find yourself a secluded space in a park, forest, beach, near a lake or even in your own backyard if you have a special area.  If you cannot be outdoors, indoors is fine, and just visualise.
 
Try to make sure that it is somewhere that you will not be disturbed.  Be sure to be dressed in comfortable clothing.  Something that makes you feel sensual, free, uninhibited but remember, if you are in a public place, make sure it is appropriate. 
 
You may wish to add flowers to your hair or if so inclined you can create a flower wreath to wear to really tune into the energy of the nymph.
 
When you are in your place of preference, take off your shoes and feel your connection to the earth, feel her energy pulsing through your body.   
 
Stand there for a moment completely still and feel the connection growing.

Listen. 

Hear the beat your heart. 

The life force flowing around your body, your heart beating in tune with that of mother earths. 
 
Notice of the sounds around you. 

The earth speaking to you.
 
Feel the energy of the plant life around you, it’s aura flowing lending their energy to you.

​​Now call to the Nymphs.
 
Feel their beautiful energy surrounding you.

Feel the breeze against your skin as they dance around you sharing their energy with you.
 
You will start to feel their energy filling you, awakening things within you that have laid dormant for so long.
 
You may have a song or tune that is starting to play within your mind.  Vocalise this sound.  If you do not have a tune in mind, just start to hum, your tune will come to you. 
 
With this, you will feel drawn to start to move and dance around in a flowing motion. 

Feel the air against your skin as you move around your space, like a lover gently running their fingers against your skin.
 
Let yourself move, express your inner freedom.  Move however you feel inspired to move.
 
Now feel your inner Nymph rise from deep within and start moving with fluid sensual movements, moving your hips, floating your arms, closing your eyes and feel the energy rising.
 
Feel your hair moving freely, as if flowing in the breeze.
 
Feel the energy rising up, feel your beauty shining, your creativity flowing and your freedom of expression rising.
 
Know that with freedom comes strength and a women's strength is seductive.  When you feel you have made your connection, move with it for as long as you feel called to.

​When you are finished, you will need to ground.
 
Sit on the earth and place your hands on the ground and feel any excess energy leaving you, returning to the earth. 
 
Know that you can connect to your Nymph energy at any time.  All you need do is remember how you felt within the moment, and recall the feeling of the energy.
 
Recalling a memory of your sexual power and strength, perhaps that energy when you were making love and you let yourself go within that moment.
 
You can begin to move, swaying your hips and feel that energy rise up within.
 
Sit within nature and feel the Nymphs around you, caring for the earth.  Dancing and singing their energy to the earth.

​We need more strong women in the world so make your connection, take back your power, accept your sensual energy and take pleasure in your freedom of choice and expression.
