The Mysterious Truth Behind Masculine & Feminine Energy Balance DECODED
Ever wondered why some manifestations seem stuck on the edge of appearing while others feel like you're forcing them into existence? The answer lies in the delicate dance between masculine and feminine energies – the fundamental creative forces behind all manifestation.
Most spiritual teachings touch on these energies, but few explain how to practically apply them in daily life. Masculine energy isn't just about being a provider or protector, just as feminine energy isn't merely about being pretty or nurturing. These energies represent core principles: masculine brings structure, action, and discipline while feminine offers creativity, intuition, and receptivity. Like breathing in and out, we need both in harmony.
The magic happens at what I call "the balance point." When we recognize which energy to lead with in different situations, our manifestations flow naturally. Business requires masculine structure, but without feminine intuition, you'll burn out. Relationships need feminine connection, but without masculine boundaries, they lack foundation. The signs of imbalance are clear – burnout and perfectionism signal too much masculine energy, while perpetual waiting and almost-manifestations indicate an overreliance on feminine energy.
Ready for transformation? Try my four-step manifestation framework: begin with masculine clarity (setting a vision), add feminine embodiment (connecting to the feeling), create masculine structure (developing an action plan), and practice feminine surrender (allowing divine timing). This balanced approach isn't about becoming someone else but about making small tweaks that yield powerful results.
Whether you're building a business, calling in a soulmate relationship, or simply seeking more joy, balancing these energies is your path to success. Remember – structure isn't punishment but support that creates the freedom your soul craves. Take a moment now to reflect: which energy do you naturally lead with, and where might you benefit from more balance?

masculine and feminine energy are literally the fabric of all manifestations, of all creation. The birth of all life comes from the combination of masculine and feminine energy, but I think it is one of the most misunderstood and potentially confusing topics in the manifestation world, and I'm making this episode today so that we can start to understand exactly. What does this tangibly mean in our life? What do these words masculine and feminine actually mean beyond, you know, like a man being a provider and a protector, or a woman being feminine and pretty? Because, of course, the spiritual implications of masculine, feminine energy are much, much deeper than any of those things. So, to understand, let's break it down a little bit further of what we're talking about when we use these words. So masculine energy is the energy of structure, action, direction, discipline, logic. It is the foundation, it is the container. It is cooler, it is harder in texture. It is the strong sunlight that energizes the day. Feminine energy is creative, it's intuitive, it's flow, it's receiving, it's feeling, it's sensual, it is warmer, it is softer. It is the mysterious moonlight that the night rests under. Both of these energies exist within all of existence. Both of these energies exist within all of us when we're manifesting. The masculine energy is building the foundations, it's pushing the creation forward, and the feminine energy is the space inside the container, the space where the manifestation actually drops into and gets received. There is masculine and feminine, led actions or intentions or thoughts happening within us all the time. You know, I think about it. You know, like air coming in and air going out, we can't just have one or the other. You'll notice that the same principles I think one of my teachers, um in like school, talked about cross cross subject learning or something like that and I think if you listen to those same principles of spirituality, you will understand every single topic a lot easier. So one of those principles is balance. Whether we're talking about masculine and feminine energy, whether we're talking about self-love and self-reflection and improvement, whether we're talking about taking action or sitting back, comes back to masculine and feminine. All of these things come back to being in a balance point. That is where all of the magic happens. I call it the balance point.
Speaker 1:In kabbalah they teach a three-column system, and so you have the column for the masculine energy and you have the column for the feminine energy. The masculine is judgment and the feminine is mercy. Neither one of these are good or bad, right or wrong. What our job is is to have enough self-awareness to be able to reflect and observe and self-correct and course-correct ourselves, so that we are weaving both of these things into our being, so that we're not becoming lazy and leaning into the one that comes most naturally to us. Why does it come most naturally to us? Why does it come most naturally to us?
Speaker 1:Usually, it's because, as we developed as a child, we realized that this was the one that we thought was the best protection mechanism for us. This is the one that became to feel safest for us. We learned okay, when I'm always in control, when I structure everything, when I have everything in order, when I can take control of the situation so that nobody else is going to mess it up and I don't have to deal with any unexpected surprises, then I can feel safe, then I can feel better. And so you lead with your masculine. When you learn there's no use in me trying, I can't control this. People celebrate me when I am being sensual. People celebrate me when I'm creating. People celebrate me when I am emotionally supporting them.
Speaker 1:We then learn to lead with our feminine. And so remember, whether you're a man or a woman. We each have both of these energies and we can become too lazily reliant on either one of them. Usually we can pretty much tell which one is our go-to when we hear these things pretty easily. But what we need we need to know is there are masculine spaces and there are feminine spaces, so that just means there are situations where it's going to serve us best. We are going to get a better outcome by leading with the masculine or by leading with the feminine. So, for example, if I go into a situation where somebody has just had something very upsetting happen to them and maybe this is a very feminine woman and she's crying and she's processing all these emotions, and I go in there leading completely with my masculine, and so I say, okay, what do we need to solve here? Let's create a plan for how you're going to get over this grief that you just suffered and let me like what do you need me to do? What action are we going to take here? I'm not going to get the best outcome because I didn't lead with the energy that was a match to the situation. Therefore, there was a mismatch or the frequency wasn't coming together in a harmonious way.
Speaker 1:Now can we bring in balance, of course. So if there is somebody who is very hyper feminine and they are open to having you meet that, having you come in with feminine energy but then also guide them into how they can move forward in a masculine way, that can be very harmonious. But especially if we're talking about another person, usually we don't want to change our ways. Usually we don't want someone to come in and teach us this spiritual lesson about the balance that we need. So if we want to make people feel seen and heard, we usually want to meet them where they're at first, and then naturally we're going to be bringing in the balance point anyway.
Speaker 1:You ever notice how oftentimes when there's like two teachers or two parents, anything where two people are working together, they often naturally balance themselves out. And when one of them is getting very frustrated, the other one's like, don't worry, it's going to be fine. They're kind of providing that balance point for the other one and then when they are the one who's, you know, very like, frustrated with the students, um, or having a bad day, that other partner starts to give a a warmer. They see a warmer and softer side of that person because we naturally have learned to balance each other out as humans. But we need to first enter the situation with a common understanding. And another very common example of this, which is very controversial, but I'm going to speak the truth because I want you to get results and I want you to do what's going to serve you and allow you to see your manifestations come to fruition.
Speaker 1:So business, or sales, for example, is a masculine space. Now, women can absolutely thrive in that because they can bring the balance point of actually listening to the audience, to the customers, to the clients, to not just pushing forward with discipline but also receiving ideas, with intuition and et cetera, et cetera. However, if you go into that masculine space of business, leading only with femininity, it's going to be chaos, it's going to be a situation where you feel stuck for a long time and then we have to ask ourselves okay, is this actually complementing our feminine energy? Then, if just laying back and not wanting to have, like, um, strict routines or structure, like I don't want to have to post every day, because it, you know, it just depends on how my creativity feels that day and things like this, is that going to serve you the best if it doesn't actually get you results?
Speaker 1:If you are now stressed because the last thing that the feminine energy needs, the thing that's most constraining to it, is stress of any sort. And so if you're trying to avoid stress in your business by not putting in masculine action, but then that creates you to not actually have consistent income and to feel confused about why you're not getting results and maybe you're not able to quit your nine-to-five job, you're not able to pay your bills, you're not able to get to that next income level and help more and more people or a higher level of person, that's going to make you feel very stressed. You're not going to be able to go and take those spa days that your feminine energy calls for. You're not going to be able to take those vacations and feel free and able to flow because you don't have a masculine structure that can hold the feminine energy. So if you're going into anything a relationship, a new fitness routine, a business overly masculine you're gonna see red flags or pointers that this might be the case, looking like feeling burnt out, feeling very frustrated that things aren't going your way, feeling like you need to force things, feeling like you can't switch off, feeling like nothing is ever good enough.
Speaker 1:If you're going in over feminine, into anything kind of in waiting mode. A lot of times it always feels like it's on the edge, but it never quite actually manifests. The momentum doesn't build up. You don't actually have a pinpointed plan or understand why you're not getting the results. You're trying to eat healthier, but things not changing. You don't really know why, like this lack of clarity eat healthier, but things not changing. You don't really know why, like this lack of clarity, there's a lot of dreaming, there's a lot of energy, work that might be going on, but there's not results and there's not clarity.
Speaker 1:When we're leading too heavily in the feminine, either one of these no matter who you are, either one of these is going to sabotage your manifestation success if they're not harmonized. These signs are something that you don't need to obsess about, right, because what's the whole point? Why do we even want to balance our masculine and feminine energy in the first place? It's so that our life can be feel better. Oh, it's so that we can make that money in business. Why do we want to make that money in business? So that life can feel better? Oh, it's so that we can make that money in business. Why do we want to make that money in business so that we can feel better about the impact we're having on people, so that we can feel better that we get to live this amazing lifestyle, that we get to help our family, that we get to wake up and work on our own schedule, doing what we're passionate about.
Speaker 1:The end goal of any single manifestation is always more soul alignment, which aka feeling good, right and so if you're now overthinking every day, am I too masculine, am I too feminine? You're defeating the whole object of the game, like we're losing before we even start. No matter how perfect you get your masculine feminine balance, at that point you're losing because you're not present with life and you're not enjoying it. So this doesn't mean that you need to become a whole different person. This doesn't mean that you need to start obsessing about feminine energy videos and going and searching them and going down that whole rabbit hole of feeling you need to be this whole different person. To be a feminine woman doesn't mean that you need to throw away taking note of your cycles because you need to be this masculine, strategic businesswoman.
Speaker 1:The shifts that you're going to make are going to be small tweaks and it's going to be more of a case of continuing to bring awareness to how you're operating maybe a weekly check-in, for example, of where was my energy this week? Was I very feminine? Was I very masculine? Which was I leading from? Where did this serve me well? Where did this not serve me well? This is going to be really a really helpful practice if you're wanting to build awareness on this and wanting to look at weaving the two together.
Speaker 1:This is also. I was having a conversation with one of my clients today and she was talking about some of her study, I think, of the Bhagavad Gita and how it was saying that when we bring together the masculine and feminine within us, that is when we actually see the reflection of that externally and are able to have a divine masculine and feminine relationship and a soulmate partner that we're able to hold and attract. So this is a core topic. Whether you are calling in a relationship, whether you are calling in business success, whether you're working on your fitness goals, whether you just want to reduce your anxiety levels and feel happier, this is something that is for you, this is something that is for everyone, and I hope that this episode is helping you to understand. I want to walk you through right now a way to, because you might be thinking, okay, what do I? What do I do with this? I'm getting it. I'm going to do the weekly check-in, but when I'm manifesting something, how can I approach it in a way that is balanced in both the masculine and feminine? So four steps for you. First thing now go, of course, a lot deeper into these principles and how it applies to your specific situations, to you know what your astrology looks like, to what type of person you are, what your astrology looks like, to what type of person you are, to what your specific childhood situation was, any trauma that you've experienced in my coaching packages. So if you do want to work with me personally and go a lot deeper and see the fastest possible results in these things, then the coaching application is linked in the show notes below. But these four steps to get you started Number one set a clear vision for your manifestation.
Speaker 1:This is the first layer. I think about this like a cake. This is the first layer of masculinity. Okay, is this clear vision? It doesn't need to be hyper specific, because we know that there's so much we don't know what is the best highest timeline for you. I can promise you, whatever you think it is. The universe has something better. So you don't need to restrict yourself, but set a clear vision of what you're focusing on. Maybe I don't know what exactly is the best way for me to start creating content. You're not sure exactly what niche you want to be in. You're not sure exactly who is your ideal client that you're going to serve, but you're setting this clear vision that I commit myself to focusing on building my audience in the way that's aligned and figuring out what that niche is. That's the clear vision for you right now that you can be sure of.
Speaker 1:Then, within that, within that container of the clear vision, you want to anchor in the feeling, this is where the feminine embodiment comes in. So we've had masculine clarity, first level. Second level is the feminine embodiment. So, even when you have no idea, um, what the next step is, even if you're not seeing results wherever you're at, you're calling in that feeling of what is the emotion behind? Why am I doing this? Why is this important to me? How can I bring this in? Am I doing this for freedom?
Speaker 1:Okay, if I'm doing this for freedom, then I need to make sure that I am focusing in on the emotion of freedom, whether I'm doing that through visualization, whether I'm doing that through affirmations, whether I'm doing that through tapping, whether I'm doing that by going back and clearing the moments and the wounds in childhood where I felt that I wasn't free or I felt I wasn't free to express myself. However, you're working on that emotion, that energy of freedom. That is the second layer. The third layer is masculine structure, creating a aligned action plan. So this is giving you structure. You've got all the energy, you're clearing your blocks, you know where you're going, but what are the steps that you're going to take on this path? This is structure that is going to hold you, to allow your feminine to thrive so much, because being confused, feeling like you're a hot mess, not knowing what you should do next, is going to drain all of your creativity, your intuitive connection to your soul. All of these gifts that you have as a feminine woman are going to be the best activated when they have a masculine container supporting them. And that is your structure, that is your plan.
Speaker 1:Structure is one of the biggest creators of freedom in your life, and a lot of us get programmed and become too dependent on our feminine energy by seeing structure as a punishment, as something that holds back our freedom, rather than seeing it as the key to our freedom and as a support mechanism to help us, not a restrictive system that is going to punish us or put us down. And, of course, there's a lot of very valid reasons why this resistance to masculine energy rises up within women, especially spiritual women. You know, coming from this lineage of being gaslighted, of being literally lit on fire at the stake, being repressed or oppressed by men, being repressed or oppressed by men, there might be many things within our genetic lineage, within our energetic body, that are telling us this structure is wrong, this structure is putting me down, but the way that we integrate that, the way that we move past this division and this duality, is by understanding that this masculine structure and us providing ourselves now masculine structure is not to keep us small as to put us down or to dull our feminine flow and creativity, but it's actually there to support it. And the fourth and final step of this method is feminine surrender. So you've got your plan.
Speaker 1:This is what you're setting out to do. Are you tied at the hip? You know till death. Do us part with this plan? No, if you get an intuitive hit and you're like I must actually go to the beach today, but I said I was going to go to the gym instead. Okay, maybe I'm going to go to the beach first and then go to the gym afterwards, and this is just calling out to me right now, or whatever it is intuitive nudges, divine timing doesn't happen in the way that you thought it was going to happen. All of that is okay. The point isn't to get it right, the point is to just have it there.
Speaker 1:You know, sometimes it's like you don't need your partner to say the exact right thing or to do the exact right thing. You just need them to be willing to show up and listen and be there for you. It's a lot more like that than we think in manifestation and spirituality and healing, a lot of times we don't have to heal things perfectly, we't have to get it all right, we just have to show up and we just have to to put some effort into it. So masculine clarity, followed by feminine embodiment of the emotion, followed by masculine structure, with a plan, followed by feminine surrender, allowing ourselves to flow in between the nooks and crannies of the plan where needed. And so, of course, you can weave this into your day in so many different ways. You can weave this into your manifestation in so many different ways. It is frustrating because nobody can tell you unless you're working like one-on-one with a coach, where they're able to see all of those blind spots, able to point out specific things and use all their years of client knowledge to apply to your situation. It is just kind of a case of feeling into it, trusting yourself, knowing you're not going to always get it perfect, but keeping on moving forward. So, as always, I'm going to share with you some affirmations and shadow work prompts that are going to take your balance of masculine and feminine energy to the next level.
Speaker 1:Affirmations Balance is my natural state. I honor both my softness and my strength. I trust my intuition and take aligned action. I am safe to receive and powerful enough to create. My dreams are grounded in inspired action and divine flow. I am disciplined with my energy and free in my expression. My masculine energy protects and supports my feminine magic.
Speaker 1:Shadow work prompts for this topic Do I feel safer in masculine action and control or feminine release and free flow? Where did I learn that this is what I need to lead with? Number two in which area of life. Am I leading with an energy that is not serving me? What needs to shift there, me? What needs to shift there? Why haven't I made that shift yet, and am I willing and able to do it now? Number three what would it feel like to let my masculine and feminine energies coexist without making one or the other better or right? Number four in what ways do I associate structure and discipline with punishment instead of support? That one is especially helpful if you lean naturally into the masculine.
Speaker 1:If you lean more naturally into the feminine, you can ask how do I judge myself when I sorry? The first one is for feminine, this one is for if you're naturally more masculine. So if you're naturally more masculine, you would ask how do I judge myself when I rest or surrender? I cannot wait for you to get started with diving into these shadow work prompts and trying out these affirmations.
Speaker 1:I've been speaking with so many of you recently who have been following along with this podcast, and it's so nice to get to see your faces, see who you are, to work one-on-one with you and actually give you the, the proven process, and get to work on these manifestations and healing these things together in real time and hearing, month after month after month, the shifts that are created in your guys's life. It just absolutely fills my heart and I'm so, so blessed for every single person that is here listening to this right now. I hope that this was valuable for you.
