Conscious Living: Divine Masculine – Part 3 Balance

In this polarized world, there can be a lot of criticism of both feminism and toxic masculinity. But our well-being really requires a healthy balance of both feminine and masculine energies to thrive, regardless of how you identify. All things in life require both — just look at the birth of a new being. Or even the birth of a new business.

The masculine brings form to any new creation, while the feminine brings the Shakti (life force). As balanced beings, we need to be literate in both energies to manifest purpose and enjoy life with a more frictionless flow.

Next time you have a conversation with someone, try to pick up on the energy behind it.
