The left brain and the right brain are two separate hemispheres with two totally different functions, yet both are required to work in balance create something of value. The analytical mind without emotion is nothing but a robot, and the emotional mind without the analytical mind is too unstable. So what is the difference between male and female energy, and how do we balance these two?
Male energy is more linear, organized, strategic, ambitious, practical, mathematical, and rational. Female energy is more compassionate, expressive, free-flowing, boundless, creative, and intuitive. This is not to say that all males necessarily have more masculine energy, or vice versa. Gender does play a role in what energy is more dominant within us, from the types of sex hormones our bodies produce right down to our biological instincts.
But one of the goals of living spiritually is to be in the driver seat of your thoughts and emotions instead of allowing your biological instincts and natural reactions dictate your behaviours. Sometimes it’s easy to get allow one type of energy take over and create an unbalance within yourself to the point of negatively impacting your relationships, career, and quality of life.
Here are some was to help balance male and female energy within yourself!
Hangout with the opposite gender
If you only spend time your people of the same gender as you, you will not have a very strong energetic frame of reference to compare yourself to. Spend time with people that you know exemplify the energy you wish to adopt more of in your life. Not only will some rub off on to you naturally, they will also act as a mirror for you and reflect back to you things you need to work on.
Set the intention before your hangout that you are going to extract experiences and lessons from that other person that will help ground you and create energetic balance within yourself. When you go into a hangout consciously, you will be much more attuned to picking up on things about yourself that otherwise would have slipped your attention
Listen to people’s feedback on you
If people in your life continue to tell you over and over again that you are too bossy, too rigid, or too unfocused, then take a look inside yourself to see if there is a reason these themes have been repeating in your life. If there IS an area you are out of balance in, the Universe is designed to show that to you directly through other people if you are unable to discover it by yourself.
Relationships are mirrors that offer a unique way of seeing inside yourself into the areas of your personality and character that can use improvement. A lot of the times in marriages, you see the classic husband/wife dichotomy develop where the husband gets annoyed with his wife’s nagging and the wife gets sick of her husbands ignorance or lack of care. Both parties accept this outcome as just something that happens to married couples, but what if it is actually pointing to a very important lack of balance that we have as a race?
Listen to your conscience
Your conscience is the little voice within yourself that comes from your Higher Self which is already perfectly balanced between these two energies. Sometimes, all it takes to find balance in life it to stop trying to hard and rest as the witness of the unfolding of your life. The more in touch with your intuition you are, the more in touch you will be with the male/female balance.
Rest as the background awareness where your consciousness is no longer filled to the brim with thoughts, stories, and programming, and you are one step closer to being aligned with your Higher Self which is balanced by nature. The spirit cannot be unbalanced within itself, only the ego-mind can be.
Finding balance within yourself in the world ultimately comes down to how willing you are to listen to your intuition, your relationships, and your conscience, because these things all act as road signs for your soul as it goes through this life.
