Balancing our feminine and masculine sides is essential to our balance and ability to function within healthy relationships.
With this exercise you are going to engage in positive mythwriting for the inner man and woman. Spinning a positive fairytale with a happy ending can make all the difference in how you shape your perspectives of anything holding female and male traits.
Society has been working on mending the divide created between the female and male consciousness by misinterpreted notions of superiority and inferiority.
You'll need:
Your imagination
(opt'l) Pictures of very happy people (both male and female- all ages)
Paper
Crayons, pencil or pen (whichever you prefer)
Action:
Create a collage, illustration, text story or combination of these that includes a Female and Male overcoming an illusion of separation to find a beautiful union with one another. Remember that both of them should be whole within themselves, finding the addition of union between them to be a wonderful complement. The union of these beautiful opposites represents your inner realm female and male "sides". We usually unconsciously attract someone to 'act-out' our beliefs about relationships by taking on one of these sides. By rewriting the script, we invite positive and affirming relationship partners.
Once created either hang the collage, or read the text at least once a month. You can also blog your myth as well so others can benefit from the positive archetypes.
