Balancing the Feminine and Masculine Creative Energies
When most people talk of creating their reality, they speak in terms of manifesting which means consciously and deliberately striving to bring something they want into physical reality. Tools like visualization and affirmations are often used. A feeling of “taking charge” bubbles up and they feel a sense of control.
As Veronica points out in our conversation, this energy of “doing” is masculine in its vibration and is aligned with labor and work.
In order to truly co-create your reality with the Universe, this masculine energy of manifesting must be balanced with the feminine energy of allowing.
While manifesting requires work, allowing requires listening and surrender. In other words, don’t just ask for what you want, also spend time listening to what the Universe wants for you. Just like the union of male and female is needed to create life, the union of masculine and feminine energies is needed to co-create reality.
How do you cultivate feminine energy?
Stay in a place of curiosity and wonderment. Ask questions like: What am I here to do? What is in my best interest? And then as you remain present, listen to what comes up.
Because our culture places so much emphasis on doing, working, striving, and achieving, Veronica points out that staying in this space of listening will initially feel uncomfortable. Our ego will tell us that we need to do more and the task master within us will try and assert itself. But through repetitive practice of working to manifest want we want and listening to what the Universe wants for us, we can balance our masculine and feminine energies and co-create a life that is aligned with our soul’s desire.
