You may think that you are solely masculine (because you are male) or solely feminine (because you are female), but, the truth is that we all have masculine and feminine qualities. As we are affected by experiences, situations and people around us, certain personality traits and patterns can start to show up.
Do you feel any of these traits within yourself?
aggressive, possessive, jealous, insensitive, aloof, aggressive,
controlling, egoic, reactive, cocky, arrogant, untrusting
…these are the traits of Unbalanced Masculine Energy and can become part of us through wounding of our psyche, brought on by interaction with other wounded energies (masculine or feminine). You don’t have to be a Man to have these traits. We all have masculine energy.
As we heal and come back to who and what we are, our masculine energy becomes whole and balanced. Here are examples of Balanced Masculine Energy:
certain, confident, protector, provider, trusting,
problem solver, “the rock”
