Are you more dominated by your masculine or feminine energy?
Each of us hold both masculine AND feminine energy inside of us. Normally an individual will be dominant in one energy, but this does not necessarily relate to their gender. (For a long time, I related much more strongly to my masculine energy.)
Sometime, one energy can overpower the other. In my case, I placed so much importance on the masculine values of driving, achieving, strength and control, that my feminine energy got squished and overpowered. This is easily done in a society that places more value on ACHEIVEMENT than expression, intuition and the experience. As a result, I lacked a softness and nurturing quality, and ability to experience joy in the small pleasures of life. This looked like a very ‘Type A’ personality.
Both energies are good. But when they are balanced they are BETTER.
A man or a woman who denies their feminine can become critical, cold, tunnel-visioned and lacking empathy. A man or a woman who denies their masculine can have trouble standing their ground, getting things done and making decisions.
Understanding the energies and balancing them allows you to draw on the strengths of both sides. It brings you into wholeness and suddenly it feels like there is a lot less resistance in life.
