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. 🖤
