Spirit Science 4 ~ Male and Female Energy

This episode covers the incredible topic of male and female energy. This can be understood through so many different modalities and representations, and they are all equally vital!

Male and female energy can manifest in an infinite amount of ways, both physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

One of the most ancient ways to understand this duality is through Yin and Yang. They are the two dualities of this reality – light and dark, giving and receiving, movement and stagnation, straightforward and sporadic.

Both sides of the coin are vital to understanding the other, for we need darkness even to have the opposing concept of light. Every light casts a shadow! Even the great Lotus Flower must push through the thick heavy mud to emerge at the top of the pond and sprout its most beautiful flower.

Male and female energy is present in everyone; we must practice observing this as a concept beyond gender or person. Male energy is like a forward-pointing laser; it is quick, piercing, giving, logical, rational, mental, and thinking.

Female energy is like a leaf in the wind; it goes with the flow based on feeling and natural curves. It is receiving, nurturing, intuitive, emotional, and tender in nature.

Another distinguishing feature of these energies, and also described in this episode, male energy observes the world in parts, focusing on the details, where female energy sees the entire picture as a whole.

Both are equally necessary and required to exist in this world. It is important to practice balancing both energies within us. As the great “Zhuangzi” said: So it is said, for him who understands Heavenly joy, life is the working of Heaven; death is the transformation of things. In stillness, he and the yin share a single Virtue; in motion, he and the yang share a single flow.”

Too much male energy can look like using only logic and forgetting about your intuitive abilities, or to an extreme, it can look like aggression and being overly harsh.

Too much female energy can look like getting lost in emotion without the use of the rational thinking mind and allowing our feelings to control us. To an extreme, it can look like irrational, emotional explosions and victimization.

A balance of male and female energy is the ability to see the value in both logic and emotion. It’s relying on both our feelings and rationale to make decisions and be able to zoom into the details of a concept, while still seeing the bigger picture at the same time.

Overall – our world has become very male-dominant energetically. This manifests in our wars, global disruption, harming mother earth, the oppression of women and other species, and so much more.

Female energy is soft and nurturing, like a mother – and that’s what this world needs desperately. The divine feminine has been greatly suppressed and has been seen as unneeded or not as important for centuries now. However, this is dramatically changing in our modern age.

In order to create a shift, we must practice living in our hearts, and softening our sharpened edges, which will allow us to accept and love one another. In this way, we can truly create the peace on earth that we’ve been dreaming of.
