Feminine doesn’t Mean Female
With every body reclassifying who they are in this world, I would say it is about time I explained the ¨Feminine¨ in Feminine Embodiment.
I am not an expert in all the of the labels that are circling these days. But I do respect whatever you desire to be called/not called. I believe in sovereignty of self and that includes how you wish to show up in this life.
Like I said, not an expert. So, if at anytime I say something that is offensive or wrong or makes you itch, leave a comment, lets have a conversation. I am for equality and always open to becoming more inclusive.
So, Feminine Embodiment. The feminine that I am referring to is not gender specific. Every body has both masculine and feminine energy within them.
Masculine energy is more:
piercing
forward moving
goal oriented
hot, hard, and fast
go go go
doing
logical and reasonable
Feminine energy is more:
flowing
chaotic
sensually alive
found in nature and mother earth
emotionally vulnerable
intuitive
receiving
felt
soft
be-ing
These days more people identify with the masculine than the feminine energy and I believe the scale is heavily tipped in the wrong direction.
Because
Without the emotional vulnerability we have people who don’t know how to express themselves, who bottle things up, and who sometimes blow their pain right into the laps of innocent bystanders.
Without the ability to receive we have a tendency to collect more. To want and want and want until we have forgotten that life is better with sufficiency. We forget that when we can sit with and appreciate what we do have Life is sacred
Without the be-ing we can be stuck in do-ing. We learn to override our bodies cues. We lack confidence in who we already are. We miss the small sweet moments. We focus on goal after goal and miss the ride.
Without the chaos we become the rote robots reciting the same lines and living out the same patterns.
Without the felt experience we miss the magic that is in every moment
Without the softness we are all bone and tooth. Hard ass, rigid, and structured
Without our intuition we have only other’s voices to lead the way.
Without the deep connection to our Earth Mother we disregard and disrespect our only home
Without the flow we are lost in the go. We forget that life is but a dance and the universe is always there to catch you
…
The feminine and the masculine energies are always shifting within our being.
One is not better than the other.
No one is all one and not the other.
Like yin and yang, ida and pingala, the sun and the moon, the bull and the serpent
Feminine and Masculine Energy is all about the art of balance
