What is feminine energy or feminine essence? As I have mentioned in my previous blog post, it lies in how a woman carries herself. According to Dating and Relationship Coach, Katarina Phang, from whom I have rediscovered my long-abandoned femininity, feminine energy is about being, acceptance and receiving, while masculine energy is active and being in control. 

Katarina also states that being feminine doesn’t mean being weak, insecure, all-emotional and neither either. Au contraire, a woman who radiates feminine magnetism is a very strong, confident and powerful woman though she embodies genuine and addictive softness, playfulness, youthfulness and soaring emotional maturity simultaneously.

Here, I want to share some of my favourite quotes that remind me of the characteristics of a feminine woman.
