Feminine Energy

     We all have feminine and masculine qualities but most women have mostly feminine and most men have mostly masculine. Feminine energy is pure,limitless, moving freely without any direction.Emotions,non competiveness,and intuiton are feminine energy characteristics. Feminine energy is free. Feminine energy is submissive,receptive. The moon is feminine energy.Feminine energy is being,surrender,abstract,patient,peaceful,nurturing,synthesizing,slower,creative,soft,allowing,e

xpressing.It is very much rooted in the heart. Nowadays,in society,a lot of men are losing touch with their masculine and women are losing touch with their feminine.Men and women are equal but different. There is a strength in the feminine,a strength much different than the strength in masculine energy. Feminine energy needs the masculine energy and masculine energy needs the feminine. It's like yin and yang. Society seems to embrace the masculine energy more. Masculine energy is:doing,agression,analytical,concrete,impatient,striving,rushing,assertive,organizing,

logical,busy,hard,controlling.It tends to be rooted in mind.The sun is masculine energy.

     To lead more fulfilled lives,if you are mostly feminine at your core,you should be tapping into that and vice versa for masculine.This does not mean a man can never display feminine characteristics such as emotions,and women can never display ambition. Of course not. The sacral chakra and the heart chakra resonate more with feminine energy.The root and solar plexus resonate more with masculine energy.And,once again,i say there is a deep power in the surrender of life. Domination(masculine)is strength,but i fully believe surrender is more powerful,but that could also be because i am tapping into more of what is more my core.

TOP 5:BOOKS OF A SPIRITUAL NATURE

Around 2010,i decided the bookworm that i am,that it would be exciting to start delving into books that were of a spiritual nature as it was such a fascinating topic to me. It's hard to limit to only 5,but these are what i would say are my 5 favorite books that relate to spirituality in some way,and helped me on my path to more understanding. :-) Good mind food is always a yummy thing and obviously positive reading=positive focus which =more positive life. :)

1.)Paulo Coehlo:The Alchemist
I technically started reading this at the very end of 2009. And this book,really, it's like it found me. It really resonated with me. It's a fable work that really flows. It's feels very magical and really opens you up to how the universe works. This book is filled with metaphors and omens about a boy searching for a worldly treasure. It reminds me of the magic of life,and following the signs and listening to your heart and how the universe is there with you,responding to you,all the time. I would consider this book kind of like my prelude to spirituality and metaphysical books.

2.)Wayne W.Dyer:You'll See It When You Believe It
Of course Wayne Dyer has to be in my top five. :) He is my favorite. I always find his works so soothing and so much of what he teaches really resonates with me. He writes spirituality and personal development books. He is the first author i started to read on the topics of non fiction spirituality/personal development. I started reading his works in 2010. He teaches you about the power of your beliefs. He encourages flow with life,meditation,and just being a good person and not following societal dogma. I really consider his books a must-read. :-)

3.)There Are No Accidents. Synchronicity And The Stories Of Our Lives:Robert H. Hopcke
I consider this a great cozy day read. I've always been interested in psychology and love synchronicity. It's a lot of Jungian psychology and i love all the stories of people's real life synchronicities. It's a great book that explores the odd "coincidences" of life. I think it illustrates greatly how we really aren't alone in this world and that there really is a higher power at work as well in our life stories helping us along as we co-create our lives.

4.)The Game Of Life And How To Play It:Florence Scovel Shinn
Most people will need an open mind going into reading this. It's a short and easy read and some parts of it are a bit superstitious. But,it's a favorite of mine because of how it illustrates the power of our beliefs and the words we use,and the thoughts we think. It's one of the classic law of attraction books that shows we get what we think about,and what we speak about,sometimes to astounding accuracy.

5.)Write It Down,Make It Happen:Henriette Anne Klauser
As a writer,this book intrigued me. Before reading this book,i had heard about the power of writing and had experienced the power in my own life. This is a more down to earth book for people interested in learning about the power they have to change their lives. People that study the law of attraction often use different tools to help themselves(for example: visualization meditations is a common thing that is done),this book is basically showing you another tool to help you overcome limiting beliefs,let go of resistance,and how easy it is to get what you want out of life.

"Who forces time is pushed back by time; who yields to time,finds time on his side."-The Talmud

I love the heart chakra. Besides the 2nd chakra(Swadhistana:The Sacral Chakra),this one is also a favorite. My heart chakra is a little weaker,though.Heart chakra is love,forgiveness,letting go,healing. The physical sensation of the heart chakra opening feels absolutely amazing. It’s a very blissful feeling. Surrendering to life helps to open it. As does the color green,and pink as well.Falling in love also opens the heart chakra and when going through a break up,it’s good to do heart chakra work.A healthy heart chakra allows love in.I did some powerful healing meditations early today,and became emotional,and then felt the sensation of my heart opening.I think the heart chakra is important in reminding us to love ourselves,to love anyways,to allow ourselves to be loved,to forgive,and to feel our feelings and also to let things go.It brings you back to what you are,and strengthens you. It’s amazing what will come into your life when you take care of yourself and do the work neccessary to bring yourself into balance again and let yourself heal. :-)

"Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life." Steven Jobs 

Sacral chakra(2nd chakra)

Are you desiring?

To desire is healthy,it's to be alive. Desiring is very spiritual,sexual,creative energy. Whether it's a cupcake,to be conquered by some one you pine for,new shoes,higher up position in work,or new vacation,or whatever,desire is powerful. It brings power. To desire,is to create.Wanting is power. Wanting is creating. This is life. We are constantly creating,and so therefore constantly wanting. This is creativity. It's change. It's emotions. Feelings. Intuiton. Sex. Sex is life. Creation,no matter what the desire is for,is sexual energy.

déjà vu [(day-zhah vooh)]

The strange sensation that something one is now experiencing has happened before: “I knew I had never been in the house before, but as I walked up the staircase, I got a weird sense of déjà vu.” From French, meaning “already seen.

http://dictionary.reference.com/cultural/deja+vu

Noun1.

deja vu - the experience of thinking that a new situation had occurred before

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/deja+vu

Deja vu is a psychic experience.I think it also shows how the past,the present,and future are really one. True time is non-linear.They say that experiencing dejavu means you are in alignment with where you are supposed to be. It's very karmic.I believe the more you follow your heart and surrender to life,the more deja vu you may experience.Last April(2011),i was in a deep phase of surrender in my life and experienced a lot of deja vu during that time. It was also a time where i had released a lot of past issues and opened myself up to new and I was positive and enthusiastic and really allowing myself to be pulled from the heart.The reason you feel you experienced whatever is it is you are deja-vuing,is because you have. Either it's something you heart desired and so you dreamt it/visualized it/thought of it so much and/or if you believe in other dimensions/parallel universes,you experienced it there and now it's coming to on this dimension.Or,if you connect deeply to your spirit,it's a flash of where your spirit knows your fated to go and experience.I had at least two deja vu experiences in the last week or so. They were such quick flashes,however.One was with a problem i was having with this guy and i was holding my phone,and i had a quick flash that this had happened before.Or,was supposed to happen.Another happened about an hour ago,with an exciting booking i recieved. It all just started to feel familar like i've been here/was supposed to be here.You could say that everything we experience in life has been "dreamt" before.Whatever you believe,exactly,i always take it as a sign from my spirit that i'm connecting to deeper and that it's supposed to happen.That i'm on the right path. Connect more deeply to spirit,experience this more often. The universe is always responding to you. We just aren't often listening.

heart chakra/anxiety relief exercise

Take a deep slow breath.As you do this,focus on the heart chakra area(the chest). Visualize your heart "opening." Keep repeating this as needed. What this does,is it opens the heart chakra to allow more love into your life. :-) If you are feeling negativity/surrounded by negative people,or experiencing some minor heartache,do this. This also helps to relieve anxiety to allow more joy into your life. If you feel your chest is tightened,you are literally loosening it,with your breath and visualization.This is a great quick fix to feel better,wherever you are at,even if on the go,and having a busy day.

If you become conscious of your body,you will notice at various times,your chest opens and tightens. When you feel confident,filled with love,chest opens.Sometimes if you enter a deep place of surrender in life,you will even feel these wonderful,blissful physical heart chakra sensations in your chest. It feels really good. :-) This means you have released a lot of pain(break-up pain,perhaps) and are in a high place of surrender to the divine. But,also your chest,you will feel it closing throughout times,like when you feel anxious,or are around negative people or situations,or are not feeling loved/hurt by love.This is when this exercise can help. :)

Since studying color therapy,yellow i’ve discovered is my favorite color.It’s the most cheerful color. Represents sunshine,happiness,youth,optimism,positivity,expression and when i add a little yellow i feel the effects of things being a bit more cheery. Yellow is also the color of the solar plexus chakra,which is one of the chakras i most get a lot of effect from working on. Yellow aids in relieving depession,it stimulates. It also has a warming,comforting effect,like the sun. :-) I love the sun,too. :)Yellow is a color for empowerment,and strength. I used to say i didn’t have a favorite color,because it always varies depending on mood,and for what like, fave color for home decor vs. fashion,etc,etc,but yellow i think is the color that most resonates with my energy,and i consider it my power color.
