(thesouljourney) Female Creative Energy

Creation is always happening and you can be an active participant in it. The energy of creation itself, which can also be called life-giving, is traditionally considered to be feminine, except perhaps by the modern western religions of Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

Female energy gives life while male energy orders and arranges things after the life is given. Since we are all both female and male we have the capability of doing both. Very often we tend to neglect one or the other side of our nature, and typically it is the female side.

To give life is to create, which means to give of oneself. If it were only a one-way giving then one would be depleted. When a woman is pregnant she receives a great deal of energy from other levels in order to be able to continue giving to the new life that is being created within her.

Whenever one gives in a selfless way one also receives. The act of creation is always a two-way flow. The creator is not only creating but is being created at the same time. This we can call co-creation - being created and creating in the same act.

The female energy always has two characteristics to identify it:

1. It is receptive; it is open to receive; it is magnetic and attractive.

2. It is radiant; it gives of itself.

In order to create or be creative we must use our female energy, being receptive and attracting to ourselves whatever is needed or desired. And then we must give of ourselves according to what is needed or desired. We could say that the purpose of attraction is to give to what or whom is attracted - to love it, to nurture it, to share oneself with it.

When we receive anything, it is life giving to us, even though it comes to us through others and through nature. Life always gives itself through what and whom we relate to. When we give, it is always life giving through us. We are not originators, we are participants in a constant dynamic mystery, co-creators of manifestation.


Exercises:

We can enhance and participate more fully in this creative process by asking ourselves two questions often:

1. What am I giving right now or what do I need to give in this situation, to this person, or to life?
2. What am I receiving right now from this situation, from this person or from life?
