One way to describe union is the integrating of the masculine and feminine within us. In our journey towards union we inevitably encounter the ways that these aspects of life force have become distorted and perpetuate destruction in our lives. As we move towards union it is necessary to heal the wounded masculine and feminine energies in us that manifest in our relationship with self and other.
In “Healing the Masculine and Feminine Within” we will use the Azul Spiral to take steps in understanding how these energies manifest in us and to tend to the core healing that allows us to experience positive pleasure and the joy of these energies dancing together in creation.
“So much of the distortion of the feminine and masculine comes from the wounded child – from the desire for exclusive love. The aggressive one, which is the distorted masculine, looks to receive exclusive love through aggression, or a display of superiority and independence. The submissive one, which is the distorted feminine, tries to get exclusive love by turning into a defenseless victim. One complements the other in this war of the sexes, which has caused so much suffering throughout the ages.” Prem Baba
