Accepting and Stability: Balancing Feminine and Masculine Energies
I sense I am standing in the midst of a transition. I know the seasons are changing from summer to fall. The elements are changing from fire to metal. Each day the sun rises and sets. Each moment there is birth and death. All this is happening each day. All this is happening inside of me. But this internal change doesn’t remain locked away inside of me. As my mind changes so does my physical reality. Somehow it feels more stable, more accepting. There’s that word again – “accepting”. This word came up as a message during a recent fire ceremony honoring the masculine and feminine. “Accepting” and “Stability” – these two words seem to go together nicely. They posses within themselves feminine and masculine qualities. - “Accepting” and “Stability” - each of equal importance; one balancing the other; true partners; Shakti and Shiva. Each one knowing its strength comes from working together as one. A marriage, if you will. A marriage where two individuals come together as one in balance and harmony. - “Accepting” and “Stability” – A marriage with two accepting people wouldn’t work – no boundaries. A marriage with two stable people wouldn’t work - too ridged. But the marriage of “accepting” and “stability” has the feeling of core strength and balance. It feels so effortless; “accepting and stability”. But I still sense a separation. The two need to work together to bring balance. When I remove the word “and” that is separating the two, the union happens… “Accepting Stability”! How could such a tiny word (and), go so unnoticed for so long? I realize now I have always held these two apart from one another. Just as “and” has separated acceptance from stability, so has my mind separated the feminine from the masculine. It is the union of these two that brings balance – “accepting stability” – Allowing myself to accept my own stability. To accept stability I have to allow myself to receive the gifts of the masculine! I have been so angry at the masculine that I haven’t wanted to be in union. I thanked God for the word “and”! Now I find I want to remove its powerful separating energy that has caused so much suffering, and accept the stability that has always been there. I just couldn’t see it. During a meditation a few weeks back, I asked the question: “How do I balance the feminine”? The answer I received was: “By balancing the masculine”. - “Accepting stability” - accepting the masculine.
