Healing the inner Divine Feminine dispels the wounded masculine. Unhealthy or wounded inner-masculine energy can attract experiences that diminish, disempower, and devalue the feminine. If she is wounded, co-dependent, lacking self-worth, lacking self-love, addicted, etc., she may struggle to stand up to the power of the wounded masculine, remaining oppressed, repressed, and depressed. This journey requires tapping into the fierce dark feminine energy, which cuts through illusions and falsehoods. Often, this work is daunting and challenging. Personally, I’ve always found the Lynx to be my spirit animal companion during times of delving into the wounded feminine shadow. While this process can be deep and painful, it is also beautiful and necessary, akin to childbirth. When the feminine is ensnared within a wound, the external world reflects this pain back to her, not to further devalue her, but to awaken her to her truth.
Once she awakens and becomes fertile ground, she can then receive the Divine Masculine. I previously discussed the significance of the frequency of 3’s. Healing the inner Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine ushers in this frequency, leading to an internal transformation. The numbers 3, 6, and 9 signify the manifestation of unity consciousness, but this process begins within ourselves (the frequency of 3). Healing the inner Divine Feminine and Masculine energies is paramount. A mother and/or father wound can obscure the vibrancy and joy in life, draining our life force energy and limiting our perspective. As Robert Frost wrote, ‘the best way out is through.’ We confront our inner storms, unearth our shadows, and breathe life back into our lost fragments. Once barren and desolate, our inner landscape becomes fertile ground for the inner Divine Feminine to welcome the inner Divine Masculine, creating a sacred union. A healthy inner feminine serves as the foundation for the Divine Masculine; they are intertwined in a wild and beautiful dance, offering internal balance and wholeness. Once the inner feminine embraces the inner masculine, he supports and provides. He becomes the foundation for her to express her wild, creative nature. Grounded and strong, he holds space for the fierceness of Kali, the creativity of Shakti, channeling it into inspired action in the world. He lives as a Divine expression through us, but his existence is intertwined with hers. Together, they reside within you and me as a spark of God.
