Restoring Balance Between the Masculine and Feminine

Two of the core qualities of the Masculine are the Inner Protector and the Inner Vigilant. In their purest form, they are sacred forces—strong, steady, unwavering in their devotion. Yet, for centuries, these qualities have been distorted by cycles of violence, war, and the collective trauma of witnessing women healers persecuted, labeled as witches, and destroyed for their gifts. The echoes of this history have left deep imprints, causing the masculine energy to carry a karmic weight of guilt, shame, and an unyielding burden of survival after watching their sisters burn at the stake for their innate power.

The wounded masculine exists within us all—men and women alike. For regardless of gender, we have all witnessed the prosecution of the feminine. This wounded aspect of the masculine manifests as an ever-vigilant guardian, gripped by fear, always prepared to defend, to fight, to shield. It believes it must protect something fragile—something incapable of standing on its own: the feminine within. But this belief is a profound misunderstanding, a distortion born of old wounds that have yet to heal.

In this wounded state, the masculine is restless, scanning the horizon for enemies, seeking out danger, obsessing over red flags. It is trapped in a cycle of hyper-awareness, always bracing for impact, always searching for escape routes, solving problems that may not even exist. Though well-intentioned, this energy prevents the feminine from rising fully, from stepping into her boundless creative power and flowing freely.

The truth is: as long as the masculine remains hyper-vigilant, the feminine cannot emerge. No matter how hard we try, we cannot reach our inner feminine while the masculine is caught in this state of perpetual defense.

And so, the feminine whispers softly to the masculine, caressing his weary heart:

“It wasn’t your fault. You have carried so much weight, fought so many battles that were never yours to fight. They tried to erase me. They thought they could tame me, lock me away in fear, bury my gifts in the flames. But I am a force that cannot be extinguished. I am the Central Creative Energy of the Universe. I am the Womb of all existence. I am power. I am resilience. I am the wisdom of time itself, unfolding in every breath I take.”

When the masculine hears these words, a softening begins. His defenses lower, his grip on the sword loosens. For in that moment, the realization dawns: the feminine is not something to protect, but something to honor. She is not fragile; she is vast and unbreakable.

The healing of this dynamic requires tenderness, compassion, and deep trust. The feminine continues:

“I forgive you. I understand you. I accept you, just as you are. You have done your best, but now it’s time to rest. I am here. I am here to hold you, to guide you, and to help you remember the truth of who we are—whole, powerful, and eternal.”

In the surrender, the masculine energy begins to relax, just for a moment. The tight grip eases, and in that space, the feminine rises. She is free to bloom—radiant, healing, wise—and as she rises, she nurtures the masculine, guiding him gently toward his divine embodiment.

This sacred union, when the Masculine heals and the Feminine awakens, brings balance—a return to wholeness. Together, in their divine purpose, they thrive. Both energies, now harmonized, empower each other, and the dance of creation continues in its purest, most beautiful form.
