Do You Honor Both Your Feminine and Masculine?

I have to give credit to my two girls who have taught me so much over the years. One taught me about “boundaries” and relying on my truth for the answers. My other daughter taught me about the “wise woman” who speaks her truth and intuitively knows what she desires. I realize that our “truth” is the only way to real freedom… freedom to be who we are meant to be in the world.

It has taken me to this point in my life to honor and respect the energies that make me who I am — FEMININE AND MASCULINE. There was a time in my life where my competitive nature was driving my decisions. While this can prove to be effective (entering a marathon, competing in a swim contest, etc.), in the long run, it can be exhausting. I was building muscle, running races, pushing the limits of a cardio workout, etc.

I now rely more on my feminine.. living my life with a clear sense of purpose — a clear sense of who I am. I guess you can say I have “surrendered” to the beautiful feminine energies I hold. I am no longer competing with anyone (especially myself). I am softening into my “wise woman” self — honoring my nurturing qualities, the wonderful qualities that have molded me into this energy state. I can be competitive these days because I hold a different view of what it actually means. I compete without judgment or a mindset that adds stress or tension. I compete by being the best I can be or doing the best I can do — this is now my competitive self.

Do we hold both energies — Feminine and Masculine? We certainly do! Freedom comes from being truthful to our inner self — creating a balance between our feminine and masculine and honoring both. Anything that’s too rigid will break over time. We can decide to live in the moment (which is all we have) by honoring what our bodies are telling us… being aware that we are constantly evolving and to see that evolution as a wonderful aspect of our lives… being able to navigate our lives while realizing we are ALL things at ALL times.. this is called an Empowered Life!
