The Dance of Feminine & Masculine

Last weekend was the Air & Water Show in Chicago. It's Elsbeth speaking: On my walk by Lake Michigan last Sunday I arrived just in time for getting a "front row seat" near Belmont Harbor to watch the acrobatic and exhilarating configurations the Blue Angels were performing.

Focused and channeled energy – in terms of the engineering capacity of the jet planes as well as the pilots who fly them! Masculine energy at its best! Flow and attuned coordination – in terms of flying together superbly as a team! Feminine energy at its best!

I am always in awe when watching this Air Force team. I am reminded of the beauty of the integration and dance of the feminine and masculine, the Yin and the Yang, both within oneself as well as between people.

When I find myself befallen by anger, blame, disappointment, feeling sorry for myself, etc., I remember to return myself to coming into balance of the feminine and masculine by ruminating on the polarities of Yin and Yang such as:

Soft / Strong
Creative / Intentional
Receiving / Giving
Playful / Grounded
Listening / Speaking
Circular / Linear
Sensitive and intuitive / Self-disciplined
ETC.

This brings me back to my peaceful, centered and joyous Self. Go try this practice. It will work for you as well!!!

Enjoy the ruminating!
 

P.S. Freddy Zental sends his greetings from his motor cycle freedom ride in Wisconsin this weekend.
