Masculine and Feminine Energies

Regardless of our gender identity, we each have aspects of ourselves that express as masculine or feminine characteristics. Traditionally the masculine energies were expected in a business environment, but it is important to have feminine energies, too. It just depends on the task at hand.

Masculine

Masculine energy presents as: focused, precise, action-oriented, stable, grounded. It is attentive to deadlines, time and structure. Use the masculine when you need to feel strong and stable to make a quick decision.

Feminine

Feminine energy presents as: inspiration, intuition, openness, softness. It is fluid and floating. It isn’t bound or constricted to the concept of time. You can’t set a timer, for example, to switch on creativity for only 10 minutes. Instead, lean into the feminine when you want the creative energy to flow freely through you.

Which do we need? 

Understanding the characteristics and behavior of masculine and feminine energies is a useful tool. When we have it, we know how to draw on the energy that we need at that moment, for the work we are facing. 

The inspired feminine sparking a lightbulb ‘aha’ while brainstorming? Or the decisive masculine taking action on a tight deadline?

Full Potential in Harmony

We are at our best – we can express our full potential – when these are harmonized. We are focused or creative, exactly as we need it. 

Inhale & Exhale

Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth three times. Inhale light and positive energy, exhale stress, fears, burdens, problems and feel more and more relaxed. Inhale and exhale.

Mother Earth & Father Cosmos

Take a breath in, straight through the heart and breathe it out through the feet, down low into the very center of the Earth. Allow yourself to merge completely with Mother Earth and breathe her energy up into your heart. Exhale out towards the most distant star in the Universe and inhale the energy of Father Cosmos back again into your heart. Mix it with the energy of Mother Earth and exhale everything into your auric field around you.

Shift your Attention

Shift your attention to your heart and enter your heart with your consciousness. Enter through the gate into the most beautiful garden you’ve ever seen. Walk through the garden and enjoy. Enjoy and relax. 

One part of the garden is particularly beautiful and surrounded by brilliant, pearly white light. Let's go there – this is the place of absolute truth and unconditional love. Now sit or lie down on a comfortable armchair and let a waterfall of golden light illuminate every cell of your body.

Invite your Inner Woman

Relaxing in this beautiful environment, you can start feeling your inner beauty; your inner healthy power. The greatness of your life.

​​There is the same armchair next to you on your left side. It’s there for your inner woman to come and meet with you. When you’re ready, you can invite her to come and sit next to you.

She comes and takes a seat next to you.

Greet her and look deep into her eyes.

Feel the energy between you and her.

Communicate with Her

You can have a talk or simply communicate with her intuitively.

Is she able and allowed to express acceptance: to be accepted by everyone and by the source of life? Is she able and willing to accept all the perfection and imperfection of the world as it is?

If not, tell her she can do it, she’s empowered and it’s safe to do it… You support her doing it and know she can do it.

Is she allowed to feel and express her feelings? What does she need to feel safe to do so? Tell her you’ll do everything that’s in your power to help her.

Patience

Can she express her patience, empathy and understanding? What does she need to feel safe to do so? What are your inner processes that make you both impatient? Tell her you’ll do everything that’s in your power to help her.

Softness

The feminine energy embraces softness, fluidity, openness… Does she feel safe to express them through you or not? Ask her to show you how your actions would feel if she feels safe and empowered to bring them to your life in harmony with other energies.

Support

Does your inner woman feel unconditionally supported by you, by everybody and everything? Allow yourself and her to feel what it’s like if she feels unconditional support. This is how she can act towards everyone and everything. By doing that, she will receive the same unconditional support back.

Cycles

She can make you conscious of life cycles and growth. Nature constantly follows its cycles in harmony with universal cycles: budding, blooming, maturation, harvesting, resting and recharging… And you’re also a part of nature…

Inspiration

Inspiration, creativity, and passion are the qualities she embodies. She’s a master of them all. Is she allowed to express them through you at every moment? What do you both need to do to enjoy being inspired, creative, passionate with every breath you take? Plan those steps, feel them and decide to bring it to life.

Intuition

Can you feel your inner woman's immeasurable intuition? Are you willing to embed it into your decision process in every life situation? How can she help you to be able to trust it more – especially in important decisions?

You’ve become deeply connected with your inner woman through this process and now you can embrace her radiance, gratefulness and compassion and other qualities that are the source and fuel of your life. You can enjoy feeling them and call for them every moment you feel so.

Embrace 

You both stand up, embrace each other and affirm that you stand there for each other, fully support each other, and now know where to come for help if needed.

Now it’s time to go back. Remember that you can come to this beautiful garden whenever you want.

With your awareness, slowly stand up and walk back to the door and enter your heart.

Inhale deep into your heart, exhale down low to the very center of the Earth. Inhale the energy of the Earth into every cell of your body and exhale. 

Slowly move fingers and toes, arms and legs. Slowly open your eyes.

You are here and now.

Invite your Inner Man

There is the same armchair next to you on your right side. It’s there for your inner man to come and meet with you. When you’re ready you can invite him to come and sit next to you.

He comes and takes a seat next to you.

Greet him and look deep into his eyes.

Feel the energy between you and him.

Communicate with Him

You can have a talk or simply communicate with him intuitively.

Can you feel his pure power and dedication for action, efficiency and focus?

With the ability and empowerment for leadership he can be an honored leader, first for you and then the first in the line to firmly lead others in the name of the light and absolute truth.

Loyalty

He's loyal to himself, to everyone and everything. He acts with reason, confidence and logic, making others feel safe and protected. 

Confidence

His adventurous and stable spirit wakes up feelings of safety, confidence and pride in yourself. It reminds you of your path and your life purpose.

Which of these qualities do you feel you can’t fully embrace in your life? Ask your inner man to teach you to fully feel and understand them, and bring them into your daily life.

Power

Pure power – strong and stable – but still cautious not to harm anyone or anything. 

Efficiency

Efficiency and focus – intentional focus – on one thing at a time, and finish it in the best possible way. 

Logic

Although you use your intuition, use your mind to double check the solution with logic and know the reason why. Search for this reason inside yourself, not just outside. Ask your inner man to support you in using the right amount of reasoning and logic, especially during important decisions.

Adventure

Ask him to show you how to make healthy actions that are adventurous. To exclude machismo, to include firm leadership qualities that arise from the feeling of being safe, stable and loyal. To offer security and protection to others with the right approach.

Ask your inner man to show you the feeling of using the masculine energy in your daily life. 

Embrace

You both stand up, embrace each other and affirm that you stand there for each other, fully support each other, and know where to come for help if needed.

Now it’s time to go back. Remember that you can come to this beautiful garden whenever you want.

You are here and now.

Shift your Attention

Now shift your attention to your heart and enter your heart with your consciousness. You can see a door in front of you. Open it and enter through the gate into the most beautiful garden you’ve ever seen, surrounded by fragrant flowers, trees, meadows, woods, a river and a stream. 

Inhale, exhale, enjoy... Walk slowly through the garden and enjoy. Enjoy and relax. 

One part of the garden is particularly beautiful and surrounded by brilliant pearly white light. Let's go there – this is the place of absolute truth and unconditional love. Now sit or lie down on a comfortable armchair and let a waterfall of golden light illuminate every cell of your body.

Relax

Relax and release any stiffness you may feel.

Relaxing in this beautiful environment, you can start feeling your inner beauty… your inner healthy power. . . the greatness of your life. If you feel any pressure, gently blow it out. Enjoy your eternal beauty. 

There are two armchairs next to you: one on your left side and one on your right side. They’re there for your inner woman and your inner man to come and meet with you. When you’re ready you can invite them to come and sit next to you.

Feel the Energy

Your inner woman comes and takes a seat next to you on your left side. Greet her and look deep into her eyes. Feel the energy between you and her.

Hold the hand of your inner woman with your left hand. Hold the hand of your inner man with your right hand.

Connect with your inner woman’s energy – with her compassion and gratefulness, with her intuition, inspiration, passion and creativity. Connect with her fluidity, softness, empathy and patience. Observe that it’s safe to feel that.

You can have a talk or simply communicate with her intuitively.

Connect with your inner man’s energy – with his pure power, strength, pride and honor. Connect with his confidence, stability, loyalty, his deep quality of reasoning, leadership and efficiency. Connect with his sharp focus, and his adventurous spirit, ready for action. Feel his determination and the power to protect.

Support

Take time to feel feminine energy supporting you from your left side and masculine energy supporting you from the right.

Harmony

When the three of you are together you can find the optimal way how the feminine and masculine principles work together for you in harmony. Stay relaxed and open to receive this harmony and feel it.

Energy Flow

Slowly stand up, all three of you. Step closely together. Put your left hand to your inner woman’s heart center and your right hand to your inner man’s heart center. They put one of their hands to your heart center, one on top of the other. Your inner woman puts her free hand on top of your right hand lying on your inner man’s heart center. Your inner man puts his free hand upon your left hand lying on your inner woman’s heart center. Feel the energy flowing through all of you – harmonized, bright, powerful, safe. Feel the unconditional energy of love. Breathe.

Embrace each other with acknowledgement that you’re there for each other in every moment.

You greet both of them goodbye and slowly take a walk back to the door. Enter your heart.

Inhale deep into your heart. Exhale down low to the very center of the Earth. Inhale the energy of the Earth into every cell of your body and exhale. 

Slowly move fingers and toes, arms and legs. Slowly open your eyes. 

You are here and now.

Out of Balance

Despite our best efforts to bring feminine and masculine energies into balance, sometimes we can still feel off or not act like we would want to. This could be a sign of the damaged masculine and/or feminine within us.

How Damaged Energies Display

Damaged feminine energy could display as: confused, anxious, insecure, or manipulative behavior. Damaged masculine energy could display as: arrogant, cold, distant, abusing power or even violent actions. 

Heal through Connection to Pure Energy

Try to find the roots of the damage; We heal by connecting the root to the pure feminine and masculine energies. We can then work in harmony with both the masculine and feminine inside ourselves.
