Feminine and masculine energies

Everyone is born with feminine and masculine energies. They don’t have a gender inherently assigned to them but humankind associates Yin with the feminine. Yang with the masculine. There is no good or bad here. Both energies make up the very essence of who you are; and everybody has a different percentage of both energies. Masculine energy without feminine energy isn’t complete. And vice versa. It benefits your own well-being when you understand the importance of establishing harmony of both energies within yourself. It’s also beneficial for the harmony in your relationship when you are able to recognize these energies in your partner and understand which role they play when you are in conflict.

Feminine energy

Feminine energy nurtures qualities: intuition, creativity, compassion, understanding. There’s a receptive and open feeling in this type of energy. It’s fast and energized. When feminine energy is too dominant you feel unsupported, unfocused, scattered and unstable. Without purpose or direction and therefore feel no sense of success.

Masculine energy

Masculine energy nurtures qualities: leadership, action, logic, adventure, loyalty, confidence, focus, and efficiency. When masculine energy is too dominant you may not feel valued, nurtured, or appreciated. You’ll feel tired, stressed, overworked and unloved.

Balance is key

In a broader sense, giving is an action of our divine masculine, and receiving is an action of our divine feminine, and a balance of both energies is when we feel harmonious within. The masculine pursues, plans, and focused. The feminine enjoys creating, dreaming, and unfolding. They need one another.

Happy Women’s Day!
