How to Balance Male & Female Energies

Do not conform to societies beliefs about the male and female.

Everyone having a human experience, living a human life, has both female and male energy inside them regardless of sex. These female and male energies are two aspects of one human. They are not opposed, but as a culture, we have been taught to rely on one or the other. Masculine energy is aggressive, assertive and action-oriented. The female energy is feeling, intuitive, receptive and nurturing. We are out of balance when we do not feel fulfilled. A successful business man may suppress his emotions and creativity because he was programmed to distrust feminine energies. Balance the dualistic energies to bring a sense of peace and fulfillment into your life.

Instructions

1. Release your preconceived notions on what is male and what is female. Write on a piece of paper "Men are..." on one side, and "Women are..." on the other. Make a list of descriptive words for both sides; the words should be positive and negative, as well as some neutral. Reread what you wrote and reflect on your emotions and judgments associated with the words. Where did they come from?

2. Pay attention to your needs. Practice meditation and ask for help from your higher self or a loving source. Close your eyes and call upon your male energies. Feel the power and intention behind them. Let the male energy move throughout your body and take note of how it feels. Activate your female energies and allow them to wash out all male energies. Take note of how the feminine energy makes you feel. Let the male energy move back into your body and mix with the female. Feel the harmony and balance. Open your eyes. Reflect on what you feel you are missing, and what will make you feel closer to your center or balanced self.

3. Find a creative outlet. Too many people suppress their creative needs to focus on material desires. Purchase a canvas and paint, use your long-forgotten, child-like imagination and paint something abstract or made up. Write poetry or create a scrapbook. Pick something you may have put off doing or were feeling to self-conscious about doing before; this is for you, not for anyone else.

4. Get in tune with your physical body. Our human bodies are vessels for our divine dualistic souls. Balance your female and male energies by listening to the needs of your physical body. Take a long bath and relax stiff muscles. Join a gym to lose excess weight. Eat more healthy foods and quit destructive habits like smoking. Your body will tell you what it wants, and when you listen and take action, you move closer to your center.

5. Make yourself a priority. If you lack in masculine, you may allow people to walk all over you, or put other people's needs before your own. Learn to say no. Be more assertive. Speak up at work or in the classroom. Believe you are meant to be successful and have a place in this world.
