Wounded feminine energy is caused by unsafe, traumatic, and/or abusive experiences in our past. These can be emotional, physical, or sexual abuse; neglect; and other types of traumatic experiences. These events leave an imprint on our psyche, which causes us to distort our view of ourselves, others, and the world.
The unhealthy/wounded feminine:
She can't control her emotions. She tends to be manipulative. She is afraid of loss and is very attached (in an unhealthy, excessive way) She over connects and over shares her emotions and needs.
Feminine energy traits are affiliated with nurturing, love, receptivity, compassion, and care. This 'being' energy is the polar opposite of masculine energy, which revolves around 'doing.
Lack of structure
A woman in her wounded masculine energy is unable to organize time, money, and resources and create a safe space for herself. As a woman, you need a masculine container and structure. Only in the presence of a healthy masculine container, your feminine energy can exist and relax.
Some examples of masculine energy in women include: Being assertive and confident in their communication and decision-making. Taking charge, making bold decisions, and inspiring others to follow suit. Being self-reliant, independent, and self-sufficient- always able to take care f themselves and those around them.
Stretch, dance, run - whatever kind of movement you enjoy - just let your body freely move and get that energy flowing. Feed your senses - Feed yourself a delicious and nurturing meal, listen to moving music, go to an art exhibit, or even just set out some fresh flowers.
These include the 5 Feminine Power Virtues: Presence, Authenticity, Sensuality, Spirituality and Gratitude.
Blocked feminine energy is when your feminine and masculine energies are not in balance. We all have both masculine and feminine traits regardless of our gender. It's important to balance these energies in order to be in alignment. An excessively masculine lifestyle destroys your feminine energy.
Immature Feminine Energy
We seek self esteem and solutions to our problems externally; often because we don't know how to trust our intuition or love ourselves. Our self worth is low and no external admiration or love can truly make up for it.
Traits such as nurturance, sensitivity, sweetness, supportiveness, gentleness, warmth, passivity, cooperativeness, expressiveness, modesty, humility, empathy, affection, tenderness, and being emotional, kind, helpful, devoted, and understanding have been cited as stereotypically feminine.
This means that more feminine-looking women are more likely to be able to successfully reproduce. As a result, it is adaptive for men to find femininity in female faces attractive because it signals both health and fertility.
The strength behind feminine power lies within feelings and emotions. Having the ability to feel the world around you and, in turn, feel emotions from within is a skill that not many people have mastered. It allows for understanding and vulnerability.
A woman with too much masculine energy shows excessive masculine energy traits such as always chasing goals, lack of empathy, stress and anxiety, poor health, feeling disconnected, overly aggressive, impatient, hyper-independence, high ambition, assertiveness, controlling.
If you're overbearing and have impulses to control your environment, including other's actions, you're showing too much masculine energy. You're micromanaging your life and not trusting in the process. You can't change other people, the only person you can change is yourself.
Those with feminine energy are more open and free, ready to give and receive love. Feminine energies want to be noticed and understood, and their loving nature can make them stay too long in relationships. What's most important about sexual polarity is knowing your true nature and how it manifests.
Many mistakenly believe that feminine energy is a sign of weakness and fragility; however, nothing could be further from the truth! It includes characteristics such as compassion, intuition, and collaboration – all essential qualities that give us strength.
