Integrating your Male and Female Energy

Releasing Internal Conflicts

This class uses Circles from the workbook  “Soul Prayer Charts” and “Gifts from the Rainforest” to clear your mind and thinking.

 Throughout these classes the idea of examining your conscious and unconscious agreements plays a significant role in making changes effectively and re-evaluating what you genuinely desire in your life. This week’s class delves into the important arena of your various judgements and agreements around what it means to be a man and a woman.
 
 We are conditioned by our society to believe many conflicting things about both sexes and how they should behave, especially in regards to the workplace. As a result, our minds become confused and have difficulty remaining strong and receptive, especially in times of stress. This causes a kind of energetic gridlock which keeps us from finding an equitable solution. The result is what we would call a no-win situation or a “Catch 22″. All wars are a result of this kind of gridlock.
 
 But what would happen if we cleared our internal conflicts about our male and female energy and learned to utilize them both harmoniously to our best advantage?
 
 If you would like to find out, take a look at the graphs in the sequence given below for a minute or longer with legs both crossed and uncrossed. Answer the questions, one at a time as you gaze into each graph. Write down the answers that come to you.

Remember when you are viewing the Circles and graphs
Read the affirmation provided below and then look at the indicated circle or graph with a soft gaze for approximately one minute. A shorter or longer time may be necessary. The graph is providing structural support for the contents of the intention, affirmation or question that accompanies it. Just breathe deeply and relax. Allow yourself to be open and receiving. You may notice subtle energies, memories or emotions running through you or the Circles may begin to move, rotate, pulsate or even change colors. This is all part of the experience. Just keep breathing; relax into your body and stay objective ~ just as you would in a state of meditation. You are encouraged to journal on insights or new ideas that may come to you during the exercise.

Step One: Go through a process that will bring your inner conflicts to the surface so that they may be neutralized.
Ask yourself these questions, taking the very first answer that comes to you.
“Is it possible to be strong and receptive at the same time?”
“Am I strong and receptive at the same time when I am working?

A. List all the things  you don’t like about men. Write down every negative thought that comes to you until you run out of things to write. It’s very important that you take the time to actually write them all down - otherwise your ego will continue to roll them over in your mind. Use the Circle to keep bringing up everything that is bothering you.

B.  List all the things you don’t like about women.
Write them all down.

G #35    Flamingo
Now that you have finished getting all that out, how do you see yourself?

G #33   Llama 
Make a new decision to be in the present.

G #11    Earth
Release any attitudes, beliefs or behaviors that are in conflict with your new decisions to be present and to utilize both male and female energies all the time.

Step Three: Let go of the negative conditioning of the past. Breathe deeply while you imagine that you are releasing the tension from your liver and pancreas.
