Feminine Rising, Masculine Opening

To take this a step further, let’s imagine the yin and yang symbol. For our purposes here I’ll describe it as the symbol of balanced interdependent feminine and masculine energies. These qualities and forces live in and as each of us. The way I relate it to my direct experience is like this: 

• The little white dot in the black feminine portion is the Divine Feminine quality, the vibrant powerful force of Shakti.
  • That is, the masculine quality expressed through and as the feminine.
  • The Divine Feminine can be described as Universal Power (e.g. creation, dynamism, lifeforce).
• The little black dot in the white masculine portion, is the Divine Masculine, the alert clear witness of Shiva.
  • That is, the feminine quality expressed through and as the masculine.
  • The Divine Masculine can be described as Absolute Innocence (e.g. pure openness, total not-knowing).

The kicker is that the "Divine" quality comes from the integration of the polarity.

We all have all four of these fundamental expressions available to us: masculine, feminine, and each of their divine expressions - i.e. their expressions through each other. Whether they are latent, suppressed, or conscious and expressed, these are all part of our material nature. From here all sorts of dynamics, archetypes, relational patterns, and identities form. One's whole personality may even hinge on one side of the polarity or as a reaction to it.

However, as we walk the path of healing and awakening, we drop all identification, all identities, and we clear out the unconscious patterns that run us. Throughout this process these four expressions unify into a single Wholeness, a single expression that includes the whole range of being without separation. In other words, all qualities become available for living, sensing, and enacting. We move beyond and integrate the feminine-masculine polarity into a balanced, functional, and expansive interconnection and inner knowing.

Chances are there are places in each of us and our lineages where these polarities and their coming into relation and service of each other can be furthered and supported. Whether that is in healing the feminine in your ancestral lineages, accepting and loving the aspects of yourself that are like your mother or father, deepening your capacity for feeling and naming your feelings, or having a healthier relationship to money and worth - the masculine-feminine polarity spans our lives inside and out, top to bottom. When it comes to relating with self, other, and the world this polarity is fundamental.

Starting this week, and continuing for a total of 8 weeks, I’m offering a group transmission series for healing and relating with the feminine and masculine aspects that need attention and connection to enable deeper balance and integration.The first four sessions focus on Healing the Wounded Feminine and the second four focus on Healing for The Unrelated-to-Masculine. You’re invited to join both the feminine and the masculine or register for one series at a time. 

These sessions are meditative healing sessions where you enter into a deeply receptive state and allow the transmission of energies and insights to act upon your direct experience. From there you simply allow the embodiment to express and act how it needs to - movement, emotion, memories, insights, etc. may arise - in order to clear and heal deep seated tensions, stresses, and destructive patterns. We create the conditions such that we can simply trust the intelligence of Being to show us the way to healing and Wholeness through direct experience.

I'd love for you to join me in this all important endeavor.
