Do any of the above resonate with you? Make you wish you felt strong, empowered and at peace – RIGHT NOW! ?
In reality, when you are making your way through your week, getting things done, being busy, being everything to everyone – how often do you really feel strong and empowered?
Let’s face it, most people, probably you included, are heavily weighted towards their masculine energies of doer and achiever, which are undeniably vital to success because without them, you would never get anything done. The drive to take action, pursue goals, and conquer challenges is what propels you forward in life.
Masculine energies fuel your productivity, your ambition, and your ability to manifest your dreams into reality. However, there’s an important question to ask: Are you always doing?
Do you find that being busy often feels like your only way of proving your worth? Are you constantly moving from task to task, barely taking a moment to pause and reflect? If so, you may not realise it, but this pattern of perpetual action could be a subtle sign that something deeper is at play.
The Pressure to Keep Doing
The personal, and, let’s face it, societal, belief that you must always be doing, achieving, or progressing is a trap many of us fall into. We are conditioned to think that our value is tied to our productivity. In a world that praises busyness, we often feel guilty for taking a break or for simply being. Are you, perhaps, fearful that if you stop and simply be, your thoughts will take over? Maybe you feel that the silence will only lead to discomfort or anxiety. You might feel that you don’t deserve to rest, or that the world won’t approve of your stillness.
These feelings are often signs that deep-rooted patterns of behaviour are sabotaging your ability to listen to your inner guidance. In this state of constant doing, the masculine energies are definitely running the show—but without the balancing presence of the feminine energies, things are likely to feel ungrounded or disconnected.
Embracing the Feminine
Feminine energy, the energy of the receiver and the creator, is just as essential as masculine energy for balance and vitality in life. Many people assume it is related to ‘new agers’ and ‘hippies’ because this energy is about being rather than doing, about listening rather than acting. However, what if I were to say that it is vital for ‘real life’ too? Could you be open to that suggestion?
You see, when you allow yourself to quiet your mind and connect with your heart, you open yourself to your true guidance – I know this still isn’t convincing you! How about, in these moments of stillness, you are able to hear your inner wisdom—something that is often drowned out by the noise of the external world and the constant demands of doing. Mmmmm – perhaps I am now grabbing your attention?
When you embrace this balance—both the masculine energy of action and the feminine energy of stillness—a more holistic approach to life begins to cultivate. You start to understand that you don’t always need to be doing to be worthy. In fact, you already have the answers within you. This may feel like it is getting deep now, but please, don’t switch off – there is more to explain….and I think you will find it interesting.
The Power of Listening to Your Heart
During moments of just being, you have access to a deep well of inner knowing. You are able to tap into your intuition, which, believe it or not, already knows what is best for you.
This knowledge is not something your parents, friends, or partner can tell you—it is uniquely yours. When you make the effort to sit quietly and just be, you begin to reconnect with that inner guidance system.
Over time, this practice of stillness and reflection will reward you with clarity. You’ll receive insight into your life’s purpose, ideas on how to create abundance, and a deeper understanding of how you can align with your true desires. Abundance in all areas of life—whether in relationships, career, or personal fulfilment—becomes more attainable.
When you stop chasing it and instead create the space for it to flow to you.
The Challenge of Trusting and Believing in You.
This shift in perspective requires trust and faith – this is not in any religious context – but trust and faith in yourself. Trust that your inner guidance knows what’s best for you, even if it feels uncertain or uncomfortable at first. Faith that you are worthy of peace and stillness, even when the external world suggests you should be constantly moving.
For many, this can be difficult. Years of being conditioned to value productivity and external validation often leave us struggling with self-belief. We may feel disconnected from our true selves and unsure of the path that will bring us peace and fulfilment.
Yet, the more you practice quieting your mind and tuning into your heart, the easier it becomes to hear your own wisdom.
And this is where the magic happens: when you learn to trust yourself, to believe in your own worth, you unlock the door to a life filled with abundance, ease, and joy.
So, let’s go back to the initial statement – when I am feeling strong and empowered and at peace, I…..
The truth is, you are capable of far more than you realise. In the stillness, you find the space to listen to your heart and access your deepest desires.
You allow yourself the time and space to create your life, not from a place of fear or urgency, but from one of trust and alignment.
When you embrace both your masculine and feminine energies, you can achieve balance and create a life that is not only successful but also deeply fulfilling.
And remember, when you take the time to just be, you will be guided to your path of greatest potential—effortlessly…creating nothing more than inner strength, empowerful and peace.
