energy awareness ...masculine and feminine

I like to muse on these ideas.....then I attempt to embody them within my body during relaxation or mediation

this is the practise ..slowing awarness and trust grows and the energy is felt ✨  ✨

1. Core Idea

Masculine and feminine energies are not about gender — they are the two universal forces that exist within everyone.

• Masculine (Shiva): consciousness, stillness, direction, awareness.

• Feminine (Shakti): creation, movement, emotion, expression.

Together they form the balance of life itself

energy and awareness, motion and silence.

2. Energy Channels (Nadis)

There are three main energy pathways in the subtle body:

• Ida Nadi (Feminine)

Begins at the base of the spine.

Runs up the left side of the body to the left nostril.

Cooling, intuitive, emotional, lunar, inward.

• Pingala Nadi (Masculine)

Begins at the base of the spine.

Runs up the right side of the body to the right nostril.

Warming, logical, active, solar, outward.

• Sushumna Nadi (Central Channel)

Runs straight up the center of the spine.

Represents integration, balance, spiritual awakening.

The Ida and Pingala intertwine around the spine, crossing at each chakra.

3. Where They Cross (The Chakras)

1. Root (Muladhara) – grounding, safety, survival.

2. Sacral (Svadhisthana) – sexuality, creativity, flow.

3. Solar Plexus (Manipura) – power, will, direction.

4. Heart (Anahata) – love, compassion, integration.

5. Throat (Vishuddha) – truth, expression.

6. Third Eye (Ajna) – intuition, perception.

7. Crown (Sahasrara) – unity, divine consciousness.

At each chakra, masculine and feminine energies meet and spiral

4. Where They Come From

• Masculine (Pingala): born of the solar principle 

sun, heat, light, right side of body, left brain (logic)

provided from above / provides Guidance, Protection and Faith

• Feminine (Ida): born of the lunar principle 

moon, coolness, dark, left side of body, right brain (intuition)

provided from below / she holds and provides Safety, Stability and Grounding

When balanced you act from intuition and feel with awareness
