What Is Feminine Polarity?
In this week's episode:
Understand the feminine within you.
Intuition, emotion, creativity, and receptivity belong in your life alongside logic and action. Understanding feminine polarity gives you language for these qualities and the way you express them.
Alanna introduces her psychological framework for masculine and feminine polarity, including how it differs from gender and sexuality. Explore how both qualities operate within a person and how emotional discomfort opens a useful inquiry into your needs.

0:00:32.200,0:00:38.560
so this is podcast number three on this show and
I'm so excited to be back I've been podcasting
0:00:38.560,0:00:46.920
for a long time and I cannot wait to bring the
wisdom of satisfaction to you my fine fellow lady
0:00:46.920,0:00:52.880
throughout these podcasts with all the topics that
we'll cover if you missed episodes one and two
0:00:52.880,0:00:57.800
make sure you go back and listen the first episode
covers a little bit more about me and the work
0:00:57.800,0:01:03.960
that I'm doing now and the second episode talks a
little bit about what it means to be a satisfied
0:01:03.960,0:01:11.360
woman and perhaps most importantly we Define what
satisfaction is on this episode I wanted to bring
0:01:11.360,0:01:19.960
you just a brief overview of the feminine polarity
what is the feminine and it is brief because as
0:01:19.960,0:01:26.440
you can imagine the feminine is vast and there's a
lot to talk about in fact it's going to fill this
0:01:26.440,0:01:31.960
entire podcast and every show we discuss but I
wanted to just give us a bit of a Baseline and you
0:01:31.960,0:01:39.320
a bit of an understanding of the feminine polarity
and also a really simple tool to help make sure
0:01:39.320,0:01:45.520
that you're on the feminine polarity in fact when
I bring this tool to you it might surprise you um
0:01:45.520,0:01:52.320
I know that when I ask this of my friends they are
fascinated by the response so we'll get to that
0:01:52.320,0:01:58.880
it's like a little bit of a cliffhanger now with
the show The Feminine polarity is an energy it's
0:01:58.880,0:02:05.760
a psychologic iCal energy it's an element of the
psyche now my background is psychology so that's
0:02:05.760,0:02:12.520
generally how I think of these things femininity
is an energy it is not a gender that's probably
0:02:12.520,0:02:18.320
one of the biggest things I have to help people
understand with this work that femininity isn't
0:02:18.320,0:02:24.760
always attached to being a woman and we we live
in the modern world we understand that there's a
0:02:24.760,0:02:29.600
lot of gender fluidity there's different ways
that people identify there's different sexual
0:02:29.600,0:02:36.040
ident identities everything is okay Under the Sun
absolutely everything is okay Under the Sun any
0:02:36.040,0:02:42.760
way that you express yourself identify yourself
it's all good this particular podcast and the work
0:02:42.760,0:02:51.160
that I do speaks to those who are on the feminine
polarity and in particular inhabit a female body
0:02:51.160,0:02:57.280
doesn't make any other expression wrong different
bad devalued hierarchical none of that it's
0:02:57.280,0:03:02.200
just that that happens to be the body and the
expression that I have and those happen to be the
0:03:02.200,0:03:08.120
kind of people that I am best equipped to speak
to and work with because that's my biggest set of
0:03:08.120,0:03:17.000
experience so that said femininity is an energy
particularly a psychic or psychological energy
0:03:17.000,0:03:26.240
it's not a gender every human being under the sun
all of us has both masculine and feminine energies
0:03:26.240,0:03:33.600
within the psyche these are the polarities our
whole universe exists in polarity we have light
0:03:33.600,0:03:39.120
and dark we have the Sun and the Moon we have the
outside we have the inside we have positive and
0:03:39.120,0:03:44.840
negative and that's not a a value judgment that's
literally like the magnetic poles everything
0:03:44.840,0:03:50.000
exists in opposition and it exists an opposition
in the psyche too we have the conscious the
0:03:50.000,0:03:58.280
unconscious we have the masculine and The Feminine
Swiss psychologist Carl Young identified this long
0:03:58.280,0:04:06.040
ago as he was devel V oping his own psychological
ideals or uh theories in terms of his own depth
0:04:06.040,0:04:11.680
psychology he did an incredible job of mapping
out the unconscious giving us language to the
0:04:11.680,0:04:18.800
unconscious helping us understand the nature of
dreams and myth and he also in his work identified
0:04:18.800,0:04:27.040
that every person has an oppositional polarity
operating within the psych for men he called
0:04:27.040,0:04:33.440
that oppositional polarity or the feminine the
animal and for women he called that oppositional
0:04:33.440,0:04:41.400
polarity or the masculine the Animus now Carl
Young did an amazing job laying the foundations
0:04:41.400,0:04:47.560
for this work and we are here a hundred years
later understanding that all of us has both in
0:04:47.560,0:04:54.000
the psyche and there are many different ways that
people Express themselves so every human has both
0:04:54.000,0:05:01.000
masculine and feminine within them we might
express ourselves most fully on one polarity
0:05:01.000,0:05:07.200
but we still have the other polarity operating
within us as Carl Young would suggest you've got
0:05:07.200,0:05:13.160
the opposition within you urning to be expressed
or acknowledged in some way and when we don't
0:05:13.160,0:05:20.040
express or acknowledge it we run into problems and
that's where we work in uh therapy and psychology
0:05:20.040,0:05:24.120
and different Retreats and training and Shadow
work and whatever it is that we might do to
0:05:24.120,0:05:31.960
start to unpack and uncover the Deep layers of the
unconscious and the psyche as humans as we operate
0:05:31.960,0:05:40.080
in the world we may pull forward one or the other
polarity depending on what we need so even as a
0:05:40.080,0:05:46.920
feminine woman during the day there may be times
that we have to express the masculine perhaps when
0:05:46.920,0:05:52.400
we're driving down the freeway we've got to
change lanes really quickly and it's a really
0:05:52.400,0:05:58.160
focused and directed experience the feminine is
not going to help us with that the masculine is
0:05:58.160,0:06:03.840
if we find ourselves in a the boardroom at the
head of a table with all of the faces looking up
0:06:03.840,0:06:11.040
at us being called to lead to guide and to make a
decision the masculine is going to help us to do
0:06:11.040,0:06:19.560
that even for us feminine women in female bodies
we're going to have access to both polarities and
0:06:19.560,0:06:26.400
all of us as humans can switch back and forth at
any time when it's needed the challenge becomes
0:06:26.400,0:06:35.680
when any one of us gets stuck in one polarity for
too long or if we express either of the polarities
0:06:35.680,0:06:44.560
in an unhealthy or a distorted way so that's what
my work helps us to do is to express our natural
0:06:44.560,0:06:51.320
polarity primarily for those of us that are
feminine women most fully and most healthfully and
0:06:51.320,0:06:56.560
to tease out the distortions of these polarities
so that we can express them in the best and most
0:06:56.560,0:07:02.480
healthy way possible for those of us that identify
as feminine women we understand living in this
0:07:02.480,0:07:10.920
modern time that we have been surrounded by we
have grown up in a patriarchal culture it is what
0:07:10.920,0:07:16.720
it is I'm not here to vilify it it is the culture
um and it definitely comes with its challenges and
0:07:16.720,0:07:26.320
the patriarchal culture has worked for a very
long time at distorting and devaluing both the
0:07:26.320,0:07:33.480
masculine and The Feminine if you've heard of this
term toxic masculinity that might ring for you as
0:07:33.480,0:07:42.400
one way these polarities get distorted anytime we
hear a a healthy Brave woman who speaks out being
0:07:42.400,0:07:48.800
called crazy that's a distortion and an oppression
or a vilification of the feminine so there's a lot
0:07:48.800,0:07:57.160
of misunderstanding there's a lot of negativity on
both sides for both polarities and we will all all
0:07:57.160,0:08:04.080
of us in any body with any expression we will
all Thrive if we understand the polarities and
0:08:04.080,0:08:11.000
we express them in the healthiest most vibrant way
possible both polarities are valid both polarities
0:08:11.000,0:08:18.240
are good both polarities have their strengths
both polarities are uh essential one cannot
0:08:18.240,0:08:25.840
exist without the other so no one is completely
masculine and no one is completely feminine but
0:08:25.840,0:08:31.680
each one of us will have a dominant polarity we
will have a primary polarity one that we want to
0:08:31.680,0:08:37.880
relax or lean into more of the time again calling
up either one when we need it but one that we want
0:08:37.880,0:08:46.320
to relax and lean into more of the time the time
and place that most of us will relax and lean
0:08:46.320,0:08:53.880
into a primar primary polarity is going to be an
intimate relationship it just happens to be in an
0:08:53.880,0:09:00.720
environment with another human being who is who
exists on the opposite polarity and it gives us
0:09:00.720,0:09:08.280
the space to to kind of almost Outsource the one
that isn't our primary so for those of us who are
0:09:08.280,0:09:14.440
feminine women we will want to be an intimate
relationship with another human who identifies
0:09:14.440,0:09:21.840
primarily as the masculine and it's almost like
giving us permission or a space to take our own
0:09:21.840,0:09:28.680
masculine energy that we have to use a lot in this
in this day and age in this in this patriarchy in
0:09:28.680,0:09:34.240
this world the world is masculine around us the
culture is masculine it values the masculine
0:09:34.240,0:09:41.880
it's pulled that forward and up and distorted it a
bit when we get to Outsource that to our intimate
0:09:41.880,0:09:49.200
partner we can relax into the feminine now I'm
not saying that's not true for the masculine
0:09:49.200,0:09:56.440
maybe they feel the same but I think for those of
us on the feminine polarity we are at a detriment
0:09:56.440,0:10:04.840
in the patriarchy in this culture where the terms
of the culture are on masculine terms the measures
0:10:04.840,0:10:12.360
of success are on masculine terms the measures of
okayness rightness uh pretty much everything have
0:10:12.360,0:10:20.280
been determined by the masculine For Better or For
Worse it is what it is when we live in that kind
0:10:20.280,0:10:29.320
of culture that values and props set up being
powerfully feminine is often questioned phif
0:10:30.160,0:10:36.920
diminished uh even by women and and and I I say
that with um full ownership I have done that as
0:10:36.920,0:10:42.600
well in my past and part of the work that I do
here with you is to make sure that we identify
0:10:42.600,0:10:50.960
when that's happening and to no longer do
that femininity is incredibly powerful okay
0:10:50.960,0:10:59.400
power is uh inherent in both polarities power
is not just a masculine trait feminine is not
0:10:59.400,0:11:06.160
weak it's not it's not Meek or mild and The
Feminine is certainly not quiet so things that
0:11:06.160,0:11:12.440
we have been taught um as feminine women I know
that when I grew up even still which is not that
0:11:12.440,0:11:19.880
long ago I mean um we won't reveal how old I am in
this podcast I guess but um you know in my history
0:11:19.880,0:11:25.920
so in in one or two generations ago even I was
still being taught that little girls are meant to
0:11:25.920,0:11:32.400
be seen and not heard that little girls are only
pretty when they smile that little girls should uh
0:11:32.400,0:11:40.120
you know Delight others that they should be happy
all the time um that little girls should be soft
0:11:40.120,0:11:45.720
um little girls are not always those things
and in fact the feminine is not those things
0:11:45.720,0:11:52.280
the feminine is wild the feminine is expressive
the feminine is loud and there is power in that
0:11:52.280,0:11:59.240
wildness and that expressiveness and that loudness
perhaps the most important qualities of feminine
0:12:00.000,0:12:05.960
you know and The Feminine has a lot of qualities
the feminine is creative as well as procreative
0:12:05.960,0:12:15.240
the feminine is um sensual the feminine is uh
musical lyrical the feminine is always in motion
0:12:15.240,0:12:21.840
the feminine exists in Cycles right the feminine
has lots of qualities the most important qualities
0:12:21.840,0:12:26.880
the most valuable if we could place a hierarchy
and I I can't stand hierarchy so I can't even
0:12:26.880,0:12:30.840
believe I'm doing it right now on this podcast
but if we can place a value if we have if you
0:12:30.840,0:12:36.240
forced me if you said Al Lana you have to pick the
two most valuable qualities what I would say hands
0:12:36.240,0:12:46.000
down the things that really are the foundation
of the feminine are intuition and emotion now
0:12:46.000,0:12:53.960
in terms of the psyche where feminine energy lives
intuition and emotion are in the unconscious they
0:12:53.960,0:13:04.080
are in the unconscious Realm of the psyche the
masculine greatest traits are logic and reason
0:13:04.080,0:13:09.320
reason are the rules by which logic is made
to work okay logic is a kind of thinking and
0:13:09.320,0:13:15.840
reason is like the rules the parameters we reason
through things those are powerful qualities as
0:13:15.840,0:13:25.400
well logic and reason exist in the conscious mind
so we have three elements three really powerful
0:13:25.400,0:13:30.600
and prominent parts of the psyche we have the
conscious mind which is logic and reason we
0:13:30.600,0:13:37.840
have the unconscious mind which is intuition and
emotion and then we have the supraconscious mind
0:13:37.840,0:13:42.280
which is all of the things that you and I have
access to but aren't necessarily intrinsically
0:13:42.280,0:13:48.080
part of who we are so the collective Consciousness
for example or for those of us who participate in
0:13:48.080,0:13:54.840
any kind of spiritual or religious practice that
numinous quality of connection to others or the
0:13:54.840,0:14:00.840
universe that's the superconscious and that does
connect us all that is in there somewhere when we
0:14:00.840,0:14:07.120
become inspired by something when we get like an
inspirational hit we're all getting that from the
0:14:07.120,0:14:12.680
Supra Consciousness that we have access to as part
of our psyche but the part of our psyche that is
0:14:12.680,0:14:17.880
ours our own that isn't a part of anyone else's
experience necessarily are the conscious and
0:14:17.880,0:14:24.600
the unconscious the unconscious mind is what we
don't have access to consciously but interestingly
0:14:24.600,0:14:32.520
enough it dominates our life um and it is the
feminine it is the feminine it's the feminine
0:14:32.520,0:14:39.040
part of us and if we think of if we can like if
we can uh anthropomorphise that for a moment if
0:14:39.040,0:14:44.520
we can take the unconscious and the conscious and
make them into Say cartoon characters I think of
0:14:44.520,0:14:51.600
the unconscious is that woman that just won't be
ignored she just won't be ignored and perhaps in
0:14:51.600,0:14:57.680
our lives we've all known that woman the the woman
who others might call pushy well thank goodness
0:14:57.680,0:15:03.000
she was pushy because she created change or that
woman who was nagging us and we thought it was
0:15:03.000,0:15:07.400
nagging because we weren't ready for that message
we weren't ready for that change it got us out of
0:15:07.400,0:15:15.840
our comfort zone but once we finally Listen to
Everybody actually benefited the unconscious
0:15:15.840,0:15:23.720
for us speaks to us in our dreams through our
emotions through our intuition and also through
0:15:23.720,0:15:31.000
our triggered events our triggered moments anytime
that we have a triggered emotion when we become
0:15:31.000,0:15:37.960
really activated emotionally even for a small
thing that's the unconscious speaking to us and
0:15:37.960,0:15:44.760
it needs to be addressed a lot of our shadow work
a lot of the work of therapy um and psychologists
0:15:44.760,0:15:52.280
and psychology is working with the unconscious
it's addressing that deep need within us for what
0:15:52.280,0:16:00.880
is good and right and true according to our own uh
Soul our own heart our own insides nothing is more
0:16:00.880,0:16:07.400
responsible for that than the feminine this is the
feminine domain the feminine exists in this space
0:16:07.400,0:16:17.760
in this incredible fertile and yet dark ground you
know I remember um you know my mother said this
0:16:17.760,0:16:23.600
and I'm sure perhaps your mother may have said
this too this is like a thing that moms say I
0:16:23.600,0:16:29.840
brought you into this world and I can take you out
it's a little aggressive I will admit and I think
0:16:29.840,0:16:35.040
most moms don't actually mean that literally when
they say it but you're getting in trouble and she
0:16:35.040,0:16:40.080
wants you to know it she say I brought you into
this world I can take you out Shakespeare even
0:16:40.080,0:16:48.360
knew that the feminine the domain of the woman is
both the womb and the tomb the feminine is able
0:16:48.360,0:16:57.320
to to give life and also to recreate procreate
or regenerate life through death the feminine
0:16:57.320,0:17:04.280
is unafraid of the things it Harbors these things
happily and comfortably as long as they are tended
0:17:04.280,0:17:13.360
to and heard it's when the feminine is repressed
or ignored that we start to run into problems
0:17:13.360,0:17:17.760
everybody and I mean everybody because remember
everyone's unconscious is filled with these
0:17:17.760,0:17:22.520
qualities everyone has both feminine and masculine
it just depends on what you're going to express
0:17:22.520,0:17:29.880
more naturally or what you're going to express
through more fully those of us who identify more
0:17:29.880,0:17:36.760
primarily with the feminine we have great access
to these qualities of intuition and emotion it
0:17:36.760,0:17:43.760
is our primary decision-making Force whereas for
those who identify as the masculine their primary
0:17:43.760,0:17:50.640
decision-making force will be logic and reason
and that's a problem when they don't check it
0:17:50.640,0:17:58.160
against their emotions and intuition and for the
primary feminine emotions and intuition can cause
0:17:58.160,0:18:07.840
some Havoc if it's not checked against logic and
reason healthy adults of either polarity use both
0:18:07.840,0:18:14.080
it's just which comes first which is the driving
primary force intuition and emotion is a powerful
0:18:14.080,0:18:20.760
driving primary force and it has unfortunately
been incredibly repressed incredibly distorted
0:18:20.760,0:18:28.760
and Incredibly vilified throughout history I
don't know a woman who even in this day and age
0:18:29.680,0:18:36.320
when expressing emotion and intuition in her life
in a place or a circumstance that is unsafe hasn't
0:18:36.320,0:18:44.840
been called crazy it's like the first thing that
is brought out of the um harmful toolkit by the
0:18:44.840,0:18:51.880
distorted masculine or the patriarchy to hurt and
suppress and oppress the feminine it's crazy it's
0:18:51.880,0:19:00.280
actually not crazy it's the most valuable tool
that the feminine has for determining what is safe
0:19:00.280,0:19:07.680
what is comfortable what is right and also for
being the Catalyst to change the feminine exists
0:19:07.680,0:19:15.840
in change think of the bodies of feminine women
now it is true that most often again not always
0:19:15.840,0:19:21.560
right because we live in we live in the future now
we know that every expression of gender identity
0:19:21.560,0:19:29.400
and polarity is fine but most often those of us
born in female bodies are going to to be on the
0:19:29.400,0:19:38.160
primarily feminine polarity just most often and
that has a lot to do with our biology we are in
0:19:38.160,0:19:46.120
bodies that are able to quite literally generate
life we are in bodies that change constantly that
0:19:46.120,0:19:54.160
are dominated by hormonal fluctuations every month
and also throughout our lives that male bodies
0:19:54.160,0:20:00.360
just don't have they just don't have them women's
bodies are dominant by change they're dominated
0:20:00.360,0:20:07.440
by Life Energy we feel this every single time uh
that we have a menstrual cycle every single month
0:20:07.440,0:20:12.640
it is the opportunity to create life and then
if we don't that life potential Fades away and
0:20:12.640,0:20:20.440
bleeds from us we have to contend with that every
single month there's a a constant force of nature
0:20:20.440,0:20:29.480
that is inbuilt and ingrained and influencing
our psychology all of the time we must be friends
0:20:29.480,0:20:35.160
with change because it is who we are so when we
feel that sense of discomfort like things aren't
0:20:35.160,0:20:42.800
quite right it's not that we are um trying to
cause trouble and it's not that we're crazy it's
0:20:42.800,0:20:49.440
that that sense of discomfort arises within the
feminine always first in order to course correct
0:20:49.440,0:20:55.400
in order to create change things wouldn't change
if it weren't for the feminine for the masculine
0:20:55.400,0:21:02.720
the status quo that straight line is fine there's
no reason to change it if it ain't broke don't fix
0:21:02.720,0:21:10.320
it um there's no fluctuation for the masculine
and think of the biology of a masculine body or
0:21:10.320,0:21:16.560
a man's body there isn't a hormonal fluctuation
every month there isn't um you know a menstrual
0:21:16.560,0:21:22.840
cycle that begins in early adolescence and then
you know the potential for having life be born of
0:21:22.840,0:21:29.360
the body and then a menopausal State it's just you
know they hit puberty and then they live in that
0:21:29.360,0:21:36.120
state until they don't so there is a constant sort
of sense of linear direction for the masculine and
0:21:36.120,0:21:41.280
that's incredibly powerful and important if we
are trying to get to a destination when we want
0:21:41.280,0:21:45.440
to get to a destination when we want to go from
point A to point B there's nothing better than
0:21:45.440,0:21:51.760
the masculine that help us get there the feminine
wants to go in circles it is cyclical it wants to
0:21:51.760,0:21:57.760
spin around it wants to change Pathways it wants
to go down a different Road um not that we can't
0:21:57.760,0:22:05.080
go forward we have that masculine energy to go
forward and to get things done of course but
0:22:05.080,0:22:14.080
one is not correct both in conjunction working
together are what create what is most right good
0:22:14.080,0:22:19.560
and true for everyone so that one linear Direction
the masculine doesn't want to stray from sometimes
0:22:19.560,0:22:24.400
needs to be nudged and it's the feminine that will
nudge it it's the feminine that will poke and say
0:22:24.400,0:22:29.080
hey look I don't think this is right this doesn't
feel good we need to go and slightly different
0:22:29.080,0:22:34.120
direction we need to course correct here we need
to change I'm uncomfortable it will come from
0:22:34.120,0:22:39.040
the intuition And the emotions of the feminine
that's what will prompt the course correction
0:22:39.040,0:22:45.440
and the change and it might feel annoying to
the uninitiated or uneducated masculine and
0:22:45.440,0:22:50.960
what I would like to do as a part of all the work
that I do here on the podcast and through my book
0:22:50.960,0:22:56.840
The Way of the satisfied woman is to normalize
this and not just normalize it but to elevate
0:22:56.840,0:23:04.600
it that this is is the first sign kind of like the
canary and the coal mine that things need to shift
0:23:04.600,0:23:11.920
there's nothing more powerful than a woman's
intuition which turns into a woman's inquiry
0:23:11.920,0:23:18.760
no one questions like the feminine the feminine
brings up questions why why why the masculine
0:23:18.760,0:23:26.920
says because because because feminine says when
when when the masculine says but how how how so
0:23:26.920,0:23:32.880
we're governed by time we want want to know when
we don't have time to waste we have very specific
0:23:32.880,0:23:39.280
timelines in our bodies that things need to happen
on masculine men don't have that they can do they
0:23:39.280,0:23:45.200
can put things off they can stretch things out
women have to do things now we want things now we
0:23:45.200,0:23:50.480
we we always demand now and we always demand more
but that's what's right for us that's what's true
0:23:50.480,0:23:58.600
for us and you know that's what makes things
happen we make change we create inquiry we we
0:23:58.600,0:24:05.200
we brainstorm we find new ways of generating more
life in an area where there is not enough life
0:24:05.200,0:24:12.520
being supported if it weren't for the feminine
things would not flourish the feminine is
0:24:12.520,0:24:19.680
nourishing and it is flourishing it's where life
energy is inbuilt and ingrained and it is where
0:24:19.680,0:24:26.520
pleasure is derived it's through the feminine and
everyone else benefits from that it is a beautiful
0:24:26.520,0:24:31.440
gift of the feminine to the world when is feeling
that life energy that source of pleasure that
0:24:31.440,0:24:38.600
source of creativity and or proc creativity that's
what's inbuilt in the feminine woman's body that's
0:24:38.600,0:24:44.880
what's in our psyche that's what drives us again
we have lots of qualities but if we focus on the
0:24:44.880,0:24:50.800
intuition and the emotion if we understand that
the unconscious is our domain that our dreams
0:24:50.800,0:24:58.720
are what create the reality of our futures that's
the power of the feminine when it's misunderstood
0:24:58.720,0:25:10.040
it's oppressed when it when it questions the
status quo it's shoved to the side or silenced
0:25:10.040,0:25:15.280
that's what the distorted masculine does the
healthy masculine honors it healthy masculine
0:25:15.280,0:25:21.840
listens the healthy masculine understands
its own limitations of that logic linear
0:25:21.840,0:25:28.480
thinking and knows it needs that cyclical
wave likee push from the feminine to really
0:25:28.480,0:25:34.160
make things happen so really get to the most
optimized Finish Line that they could possibly
0:25:34.160,0:25:39.600
want to get to Meanwhile the feminine is Basking
in its creativity and its life energy and its
0:25:39.600,0:25:47.480
pleasure and its joy and again this exists in all
of us but for us feminine women it exists in us
0:25:47.480,0:25:55.960
most fully and it's time for us to find spaces and
create places and environments and relationships
0:25:55.960,0:26:04.680
that Center this as the most valuable gift
of being a woman intuition and emotion and
0:26:04.680,0:26:11.680
its healthiest expression that internal Compass
coming forth the unconscious speaking out from us
0:26:11.680,0:26:18.000
that these psychic energies have value the most
value to create the kind of future and the kind
0:26:18.000,0:26:26.360
of world that makes everyone safe and fosters
everyone's joy and goodness so again this is
0:26:26.360,0:26:30.880
a topic that we will continue to unfold and work
with throughout the podcast but I wanted to give
0:26:30.880,0:26:36.120
us a bit of a context a psychological context for
what the feminine is so that we can continue to
0:26:36.120,0:26:42.520
move forward on our journey together as we learn
to walk the way of this satisfied woman I thank
0:26:42.520,0:26:49.960
you for being on this path with me and I look
forward to speaking to you on the next podcast
