Metaphorically, the feminine nature
says something like “I feel it,” to which the masculine replies: “I hear you. What would you like me to do? ”. Then the feminine nature replies: “I want this and/or that,” to which the masculine says:
“If you want it, I will get it for you” — this is the natural process that should happen within us. However, when people tend to suppress one of these energies (feminine or masculine) it can lead to one-sided development. That is, any intuitive thought or impulse (feminine energy) remains solely an idea that won’t bear fruit, if it is not embodied in masculine energy. Conversely, any action (masculine energy) is doomed to failure if it is not based on an idea.
Before, the perception was such that a woman and a man were two separate halves that operated as a whole and were complementary to each other. Now, with the change in lifestyles it’s a completely different picture where these two energies are interjected into each of us. They are equal and should be balanced with each other. Hence, the task facing each of us is not how to become a real woman or a real man, but how to become harmonious within and embrace femininity and masculinity, utilizing these qualities as needed.

cases we apply their masculinity and develop their “sleeping” qualities, without which they would
be unable to self-develop and defend themselves — qualities such as strength, courage, determination and discipline. As well, there may be an opposite request coming from strong and successful women who dream of finding a partner and building relationships. Due to their
masculine qualities they may have difficulties and usually “crush” and “suppress” their potential partners. In this case we restore contact with their feminine side and expose tenderness, sensuality and empathy.
The same happens with men. With an excess of masculine energy, there is a “cutoff” from the creative impulse and from the “idea”,
