Balancing Our Masculine and Feminine Energies

One key to a successful and fulfilling life is balancing your masculine and feminine energies.  If you take a look at your typical day, you’ll probably notice there are times when you’re very action oriented.  At other times, you’ll notice you’re not really doing much of anything, but instead, you’re simply being.
These two activities – doing and being – are the physical expression of the masculine and feminine energies.  One is motion and momentum oriented, the other is stillness and feeling oriented. One is the creating and making energy.  The other energy allows the creation to manifest by holding the fertile space. These terms have nothing to do with gender.  Everyone, whether male or female, is composed of both energies.

Masculine energy is assertive and action oriented. It’s the energy you use to go out into the world and get things done. You might also consider this your powerful energy. It’s focused, persistent and aggressive. This energy seeks to penetrate the world and make things happen. We tend to associate this energy with the personality or the ego.

Feminine energy is passive, vulnerable, and trusting. It’s the energy you use when you attract, magnetize or allow things into your life. It’s “be-ing” oriented rather than doing oriented. When expressing this energy, we tend to reach a deeper, more spiritual place. We tend to associate this energy with the soul.

If you’re like most people, you probably lean more toward one or the other. In fact, our culture places a premium on the masculine energy. Most of us are taught that we should be doing, accomplishing and producing something almost constantly.

We admire people who seem to get a lot done and sometimes judge ourselves if we can’t measure up to their accomplishments.  The problem, of course, with doing and accomplishing so much is we end up ignoring the opposite part of ourselves – our soul, our spiritual essence.

When our masculine energy is tipping the scales, we may be very successful in the world.  However, it’s difficult to find a place of fulfillment, satisfaction and contentment. No sooner do we complete one task, then we’re off to the next thing without taking time to nurture our souls.

On the other hand, if you’re more out of balance toward the feminine energy, you may have trouble focusing and following through on your ideas with action. In more extreme cases, you may even have trouble handling the challenges of the physical world, including making a living and managing money effectively.

When dwelling in an excess of feminine energy, you may experience difficulty taking charge of your direction.  When you’re in a state of accepting whatever the world wants to throw your way, you may find your life being more controlled by others than yourself.

As I mentioned initially, one key to a successful and fulfilling life is balancing these two primary energies. Set yourself up for a success and fulfillment by bringing your masculine and feminine energies into balance.  To identify the status of your masculine feminine balance, click on the assessment tool below:
