Being in problem-solving mode is an archetypically masculine state on the spectrum.
It took me many years to notice that my life force/energy starts degrading in a matter of weeks when, for whatever reason, I’ve had to shore up my masculine side, day in and day out, in a prolonged loop.
It’s easy to do when you’re good at thinking, good in a crisis, good at work, good at stepping up to bat. But for people with feminine cores, it soon feels like being pulled out of alignment and then all body/mind/spirit systems start going awry.
People with masculine cores also need a feminine balance to thrive.
I know a lot of people are hurting right now, along with world news, or by overproducing, underproducing, can’t sleep, can’t eat, energy dwindling, etc.
One of the last #inktober prompts, which I missed, was “MASSIVE.”
This is the image that came to my mind, a girl god channeling massive energy, hands open to the feminine state of RECEIVING.
We can’t always DO/SOLVE/ACT our way out of problems, sometimes the key is simply, at least for a few moments, to shift our mode of being into RECEIVING for answers.
A reminder to anyone feeling awry – try tapping into the feminine as a manner of rebalancing. 🖤
