Energy management is such an important part of living your Vision. Without it purpose driven business women can feel off kilter, overwhelmed and dissatisfied. That is not the energy that is going to realise your Vision in its fullest form.
As I started to work with energy management, it was really interesting to come across the concept of
‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ energy and how impactful it can be when we get stuck too much in one or the other.
I thought I’d focus on it this week, as it’s been a hot topic recently with the members of my
VIP Visionary Lounge.
What is Masculine and Feminine Energy?
First, it’s
nothing to do with gender.
We all have masculine and feminine energy within us whether you identify as male, female, non binary or trans. Identifying which energy you perceive as
dominant in you, and which you hold in the highest regard, can be hugely
empowering.
Energy is the life force in you. Energy manifests as emotions and dis-ease in your body. It creates your
aura or the
vibe you transmit to others.
In the book,
WomanCode, Alissa Vitti explains Tantric philosophy: “Tantra—an Eastern philosophy that believes the universe is created by and made up of masculine (Shiva) and feminine (Shakti) energies that infuse all things.” Vitti states, “Both energies exist within each of us in varying amounts. Learning how to engage both fully is what ends up making a person psychologically, emotionally, and physically well. Just as you wouldn’t operate a remote control with only one battery,
you need both of these energies as your power sources. They’re necessary tools for shaping your life.”
What is Masculine energy?
The qualities to embrace in masculine energy are:
- Reason
- Logical
- Leadership
- Focused
- Caretaking
- Survival
- Confidence
- Strength
- Adventure
- Linear
- Discipline
- Strategic
- Knowledge
- Protective
- Powerful
In embracing these qualities, you open up opportunities for:
Managing projects strategically- Determination and focus to see a mission to the end
- Stay focused on one thing at time
- Set clear boundaries in order to meet goals
- Enjoy connection through problem solving, entertainment or building relationships
In real terms this looks like
getting shit done, being super productive, organising and planning, hitting and achieving goals. This can be essential to creating the Vision your feminine energy has dared to dream. It’s a question of
trusting that the action you are taking is enough. Either as a result of that action working out exactly as you saw it happening OR as a result of growing and learning when it misses the mark.
What is Feminine energy?
The qualities to embrace in feminine energy are:
Compassion- Empathy
- Openness
- Intuition
- Devotion
- Creativity
- Knowing
- Understanding
- Supportiveness
- Receptiveness
- Flexibility
- Feelings
- Connection
- Softness
- Nurture
- Cyclical
- Visionary
In embracing these qualities, you open up opportunities for:
Working in collaboration- Manifesting what you want
- Accessing a well of ideas and opportunities
- Seeing an opportunity for change and to make a difference
- Surrendering to your Vision
- Working with the natural rhythm of your body
- Being relatable and relating to others, caring and nurturing.
In real terms, this is allowing yourself to
simply be, feeling, acknowledging and releasing your emotions fully, embracing moments that feel wild or chaotic, pausing to soak up all the beauty of life and recharge.
What’s YOUR dominant energy?
Having read this article, I want you to consider
which is your dominant energy?
How might you benefit from allowing and surrendering to the opposite energy that is fully accessible to you should you give yourself permission?
It may be that those
pesky saboteurs and the Mean Little Cow voice have something to say about it, but as you know from my previous blogs, it’s a question of hearing and soothing them. They may be stopping you from having the balance of these energies and holding you back from living your Vision.
Doing this will allow you to tap into the energy they are so scared of you embracing.
Give it a go and see what magic might occur.
