The problem is that most people today are stuck operating in an energy that is opposite from their authentic core energy! We have an energy FLIP FLOP epidemic going on, too! Everywhere I look, I see women stuck in their masculine and sometimes even despising their feminine and making it wrong! I also see men disconnected from their masculine or stuck in feminine energy! Friend, this has a disastrous effect our intimate relationships! Sexual attraction requires both partners to be operating from an authentic core-energy, which is opposite from their partner’s. (Think ‘yin/yang’; or ‘opposites attract’!) Your authentic energy has everything to do with the level of passion in your relationship! Passion is the life-force of a relationship, without it, your relationship will die! This ONE difference is enough to inoculate YOUR relationship from the ‘Passion-less Relationship’ Epidemic! I know, because this is where Paul and I were years ago when we first started this work! Back then, I was living more in my masculine energy and he was disconnected from his masculine, living more in his feminine. My core energy is my feminine… but I was stuck in my masculine, after years of working in corporate as a tax accountant! See, when I entered the corporate world, I got a very clear message: “Leave those emotions at home, missy! This is business; it’s not personal! We don’t get emotional; we don’t cry; and we certainly don’t talk about feelings here! You need to buck up, be factual, deliver on time, and produce results!” I’ve talked to thousands of women who had a similar experience as me in their work or somewhere else in their life. Perhaps you did too? Here’s the problem with it: women are very good at adapting to using our masculine tools and wearing our masculine mask! Unfortunately, once we learn to cultivate our masculine tools and masks at work, it becomes really easy for us to reach for those tools and that mask every time we feel hurt, disappointed, angry, or vulnerable in a relationship. PASSION IS THE LIFE-FORCE OF A RELATIONSHIP, WITHOUT IT, YOUR RELATIONSHIP WILL DIE! We were well intentioned, but it had a very negative ramification that we could never have anticipated…we totally zapped the passion out of our relationships and we were left wondering what the hell happened, with no clue how to fix it! 77 Polarity is the energetic charge created by the difference between masculine and feminine energy. We thrive in life, and in our intimate relationships, when we’re operating from our authentic core on a day-to-day basis.
