Masculine and Feminine:
We Are Equal, But We Are Not The Same

Boy, I will piss off a lot of feminists of both genders by this post, but “facts don’t care about our feelings”, so I’m willing to take risks:)

Here’s the truth: men and women, masculine and feminine, are supposed to complement each other and not compete with each other.

Yet, we see it more and more in modern-day society how, in couples, partners either switch roles or become rivals over who will be more successful in their careers and “wear pants at home”. Of course, it has nothing to do with the way you look - a woman can wear heels and dresses and still have bigger ‘balls’ than some men because her Yang (masculine) energy is more manifested; and vice versa, a man can be dressed up very manly, but be inclined to drama and and manipulations or be compassionate and nurturing with more pronounced feminine (Yin).

However, whether we like it or not, the way masculine and feminine should cooperate and complement each other hasn’t changed in thousands of years, because it is essentially rooted in the “default setting” of our planet: the prime functions of the masculine and feminine are to provide and nurture, respectively.

I asked my friend, ChatGPT, to help show Masculine vs Feminine
Just like we have day and night, Sun and Moon, light and darkness, hot and cold, we also have two polarities that reside in all of us - the masculine and the feminine.

And how your inner masculine and feminine sides interact with each other inside of you will be reflected and influence all your relationships outside.

Now, a truly harmonious person is the one who has these two in harmony and in equal proportion of 50/50. But this is the benchmark, unattainable for many, unless we start consciously working on it. So, if you want to heal your relationships with others…yes, you’ve guessed it - you need to start with inner work and harmonise the relationship between your feminine and masculine inside.

🎧 If you are ready to do some work, here’s a special meditation that I have designed to balance your inner masculine and feminine sides.

Both men and women create life, but the difference is that men create life outside of themselves (the sperm goes out) and women create inside of themselves (the egg stays in).

Here is how I see Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and the Chakra system interrelating to one another
I remember, in level 5 of the Integrated Clinical Hypnotherapy course, my teacher and mentor, Dr Yuvraj Kapadia, sharing something very profound with us, which was eye-opening for me: he explained how a man and a woman should cooperate through the chakra system.

The natural flow of energy should be the following:

The man gives energy to the woman through the first 3 chakras:
  • Root - the man provides and covers the basic needs (food, shelter, roof above the head, etc.), grounding, stability, and money
  • Sacral - indulgence and pleasure, including sexual pleasure (yes, ladies and gents, it’s supposed to be the other way around)
  • Solar Plexus - setting boundaries for interaction with the world, protecting from external circumstances, etc.
The key and most difficult part is that this needs to be done not through the ego but out of the desire to serve and inspire.

And in return, the woman takes the energy provided by the man and gives it back to him through:
  • love and compassion (Heart chakra)
  • acceptance, which dramatically influences his feeling of self-worth (Throat chakra). If the woman believes in his man, he can achieve anything.
  • Inspiration, life direction, and vision (Third Eye chakra)
And that is why they say that behind every successful man there is a woman. In Russian, we have a saying that the man is the head, whereas the woman is the neck - the head will only look in the direction in which the neck turns.
Men and women exchanging energy through the Chakra system
In my own family of origin, I have seen this dynamic time and time again: even though my Dad has been an incredibly talented, ambitious, and hardworking man long before he’d met my Mum, always in love and married to his work, whenever he would face challenges or new endeavours in his career with a shade of self-doubt, my Mum would always reassure him by literally saying: “I believe in you. You’ll think of something. You’ll figure something out. Who else if not you?”

Here’s another thing to bear in mind, which has been lost in the modern-day society, it seems: money has the feminine energy, which means that when money comes to a man, unless he returns the favour to the feminine by taking care and spending on his woman, money will not come again (and no, dear gents, this is a not a threat but a warning). And by being charitable and sharing their wealth with society, men give back to Mother Earth. But this recipe will not work unless it is done with joy and pure intentions, without expectations (“do good and throw it in the water”). So, to sum up, the more a man spends on his woman and does it happily, the more money he’ll make.

By the way, we cover a similar concept in level 3 of the Numerical Psychology workshop. Here’s a snippet of it.

“And what if I am currently single and don’t have a partner?” you may ask. Well, for ladies, imagine that the Creator/Universe is your man, taking care of you and treating you like the queen that you are. And if you are a man, then by giving back to society, you are treating Mother Earth and, in doing so, thanking the feminine.

And if you do have a partner, make sure that whatever money you both make is spent according to the natural premise of the masculine and feminine: the masculine provides and covers the basics (housing, utilities, food, etc.), while the feminine takes care of indulgence and luxury (travel, home decor, fine dining, etc.).

What do you think about this? Does it trigger you?
