The Dance Within: Healing Your Divine Feminine and Masculine Energies
When you hear "divine feminine" what comes to your mind?
When you hear "divine masculine" what comes to your mind?
Most of us have a vague idea, but understanding these fundamental energies is the key to true inner peace and personal growth.
We all carry both the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine energies within us. The goal isn't to choose one—it's to achieve balance. When these energies are out of alignment, they present as "wounded," and it's our self-healing journey that transforms them into their healthy, divine state.
Understanding the Two Poles
How are these energies different, and how can we spot the difference between their healthy and wounded expressions?
Energy
Divine Feminine
Divine Feminine
Healthy Traits (The Divine)
Flow, Intuition, Creativity, Nurturing, Receiving, Empathy
Structure, Action, Logic, Boundaries, Protection, Discipline
Wounded Traits (The Shadow)
Chaos, Over-giving, Victimhood, Passive, People-pleasing
Controlling, Aggression, Emotionally Closed, Rigidity, Workaholism
When we're on our self-healing journey, we awaken these energies and dive deep to heal those wounds. This creates a balance between the two, which allows them to unite as one. Once they're united and integrated, they then become healthy energies, which allows us to truly heal from the inside out.
A Journey, Not a Destination
Though there's no "done" moment for one to fully heal, as we can always fall out of balance. Each time we heal an inner wound, we are one step closer to being a better version of the person we were before.
On my own self-healing journey, I spent a large amount of time healing my Divine Feminine energy. I had to learn to appreciate the beauty within her and to embrace all her past wounds.
My Healing Breakthrough: Unlearning and Listening
One of the greatest things I did to heal my Divine Feminine was unlearning everything I was taught about what a woman or feminine energy "should" be. I had to:
Listen to my inner voice, not the external world.
Listen to what being a divine feminine means to me.
I had to let the Divine Feminine inside loose—not control her.
I had to seek within my child wounds and allow my inner child to grow in order for her to discover the Divine Feminine it was meant to become from within.
Integrating the Balance
The final step was to balance out the way I embrace both my Masculine and Feminine energy. I had to listen to both, not ignore one and leave the other out. I couldn't embrace my emotional, creative side (Feminine) while forgetting the need for clear boundaries and action (Masculine).
A healthy life is when the Divine Feminine's intuition guides the Divine Masculine's action, and the Divine Masculine's structure protects the Divine Feminine's flow.
What Are You Healing Next?
The healing of these two core energies is the most profound act of self-love we can undertake. It is the path to personal sovereignty and wholeness.
