There lives within you a Creative Power Couple:
Your Feminine genius and your Masculine genius.
The part of you that desires and the part of you that creates what you desire.
We live in an age when women have more opportunities than ever.
And, ladies, we are making it in this man’s world.
We can strive, compete, think, overcome the needs of our bodies and souls with our get-'er-done Masculine genius. And we have much to show for it.
But our feminine energy rarely has a seat in the boardroom.
Feminine energy is intuitive not logical, emotional not rational, collaborative not conquering, nurturing not overcoming, nourishing not ascetic.
Qualities that are not seen as productive through the Masculine genius lens of power alone.
But within the structure of the Creative Power couple, they are productive.
Everyone, regardless of their gender identity, has both masculine and feminine energies.
My male partner has strong Masculine genius energy. Yet, some of his most genius creations, like the art gallery he once co-owned and our epic camper van build-out, were inspired by his Feminine genius:
What he loves and desires.
And then his Masculine genius gets it done.
Our Masculine genius is inspired by our Feminine genius to create because it is inspired by HER:
By her LOVE of life.
She is the flower, he is the soil.
She cannot grow without his soil.
His soil is lifeless without her.
There was a time, long ago, when the Feminine was honored and courted, cherished and protected. She was understood as one half of the Creative Power Couple that created everything in the Universe: the Goddess, whose desire for creation is the reason for creation itself.
We see the damage that is done in the world when Feminine Genius does not have a seat at the table: domination over (other’s) bodies, conquering (other’s) souls, the rape of Her, our Earth.
The harm that power does when its only goal is to serve itself.
We feel the effects in our own bodies and souls when we live in our Masculine genius and ignore our own Feminine genius:
We over-work and under-nourish our bodies and souls.
We stop listening to the truth that lives in our bodies.
We deny ourselves joy and pleasure.
We dismiss the wisdom of our emotions.
We experience burn-out.
And we lose our relationship with ourselves.
We lose our REASON for being:
What we love and desire.
What gives us pleasure.
And we lose our ability to create the life, art and relationships we want.
Seat your Feminine Genius in her rightful place: on her throne next to your Masculine Genius.
Unite your Creative Power Couple and watch them work their magic together.
