WHAT IS FEMININE ENERGY?
Feminine energy refers to a set of traits or qualities traditionally associated with the "yin" side of the yin-yang balance and contrasts with "masculine energy". It is not gender specific but can be embodied by both men and women. However, core traits are typically associated by society with women and not men.
CORE TRAITS OF FEMININE ENERGY
Feminine energy is typically described with the following characteristics:
Receptive: Being open to receiving ideas, help, or love (versus taking action or control)
Emotional: Easily able to feel and express emotions with an empathetic nature.
Flowing: Flexible without being over-structured and going with the flow.
Collaborative: Places value in connection and working together in community over competition.
Creative: Applying a nurturing spirit to ideas, art, beauty, and life.
Nurturing: Tends to care for, support, and uplift others.
Sensual: Connected to the senses—touch, taste, beauty, pleasure, and presence.
Intuitive: Using gut instincts and emotional intelligence rather than logic.
Again, both energies are valuable to any healthy person, and a balance of both energies makes life easier. Issues typically arise when you have an imbalance of energies. In today's society, women have to tap into a more masculine energy in order to complete day-to-day tasks. Causing them to neglect that feminine side of the energy. Feminine energy in action: allowing yourself to rest, enjoy nature, express emotions freely, create art, or nurture someone. Masculine energy in action: setting goals, making decisions, taking initiative, building systems.
PROTECTING YOUR FEMININE ENERGY
Protecting your feminine energy means not connecting yourself to a man who doesn't know who he is. Because he will attach himself to your identity. And his lack of power makes him reset the glow that you already had. Lack of healing makes you his Battlefield. Causing you to doubt yourself and become drained from the emotions and the weight that he puts on you. You will be in everything while losing yourself. Ask yourself: when you're with this person, do you feel more like yourself or less like yourself? A man without peace will take yours, a man without confidence will feed off of your self-awareness. A man without wealth, whether it be mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or financially, will spend yours. At some point, we have to realize that women are not a prize; a prize is a possession that you can take forcefully without the consent of the said prize. However, women are a gift and a helpmate. This is something that is given to someone deserving of it.SIGNING OFF - Virtuous Woman
