Balancing Your Masculine and Feminine Energy

In ancient times the feminine principle in the image of the goddess stood for relationship, justice, wisdom and compassion. It was also seen as connecting the visible with the invisible realms, the visible nature and the invisible spirit. The feminine goddess also offered an image of oneness of all life. Somewhere along the line, to our detriment, we lost that and we became a patriarchal civilisation with over emphasis on the masculine archetype and the devaluation of the feminine. This meant we lived more in the mind/spirit, and feeling/nature values were neglected, which lead to the repression and suffering of women and a very unbalanced world that we have had to live in.
