Feeling Resistance to the Feminine?
There can be a lot of resistance to the Feminine when we first start to learn about Her... It's a common part of our Wounded Masculine conditioning that has us resisting some of the very essences of who She is:
We recoil at the idea of being "Softer."
We resist the idea
of becoming
"more Emotional."
These feel weak, they feel submissive, they feel diametrically opposed to the gains we've made as women in this world, the rights we've reclaimed, and the Power we feel we've finally been afforded.
But that's the trick the Patriarchy plays.
For me, our resistance to the ideas of "Softening" and being "more Emotional" IS one of the primary ways the Patriarchy has brainwashed us into believing that there's something "weaker," lesser, less-desirable, or more submissive in the Divine Feminine. There. is. not.
And this is one of the ways we've continually been 'trained' away from what is ACTUALLY our truest Power.
If this is one of the things you've struggled with in the idea of reconnecting with your Feminine, if it's one of those things that turns you off about the idea, then I invite you to define the "Softer" and "more Emotional" that comes with the Feminine as simply this:
A willingness to be more vulnerable, because we are so deeply in our Power that we need not Fear it. An ability to Open into the intensity of sensation because we have the Power to Be With it — sensation being, simply, Energy, Abundance, Love, Intimacy, Receiving, all the other things that come of the Feminine Archetype, all of which requires deepening.
A connection with our Emotional world that deepens over time, creating a language and a dialogue with our Truth, our Higher Selves, our Intuition, and actually makes us LESS controlled by and reactive to our Emotions (which is the only reason we ever Fear them).
In other words, the Softness and the Emotion that comes with the Feminine is. a part. of our POWER.
It's an amplification of our Power.
Not a reduction of it.
Now, what the Patriarchal conditioning tells us that's all supposed to look like, on the other hand, IS the version we tend to (rightly) dislike, disavow, feel averse to: Submissive, Out of control, Weak, Quiet, "Good girl", Compliant, More Emotional = less intellectual, etc. And that's also the exact same form of Conditioning that has us feeling disconnected to those Soft and Emotional parts of ourselves.
Do you see?
The very resentment we feel about being "told we need to be softer or more emotional" in order to be Feminine IS a part of the same Conditioning that has separated us from it.
We get to Reclaim these Powers, and Return to exactly what they mean, and have always been meant to mean, before the Judgmental and Controlling Wounded Masculine started trying to separate us from it.
