Hello lovely soul, 

We are charging forward into the middle of the year at a bustling pace.

I hope that you can enjoy some time out this month to go into this Monthly Message and re-charge.

If you received my last email you’ll have seen that I am available again for face to face Reiki sessions. If you’d like to book yourself in for some “me time” give me a call or send me through an email. I’d love to work with you.

Have a beautiful month,

The Masculine

Words like masculine and feminine are thrown around a lot in our society, often with a lot of negative associations and connotations.

When I speak of the masculine and the feminine I am referring to the two aspects of self that come together to form one complete, fully functioning human being.

The masculine and feminine are two distinctly different energies.

Both play an important role in our expression of self.

Looking into the feminine energy we see flow, emotion and a certain intuitiveness that is associated with our inner knowing.

It is the part of us that moves freely and is happy to wander; the part that loves to explore and sense out all options before choosing a path to take.

The feminine energy also has a sense for others. A way of knowing what others need and an openness to feeling all there is to be expressed.

It is a deeply important part of us and allows us to be the compassionate and deeply caring individuals that we are capable of being.

The yang to this yin is the masculine.

It is the fire energy that drives forward, that knows which path to take and has no hesitation in making it’s way there.

When we connect with our masculine self we are driven to take action; we blast through the haze and confusion and clear a direct and obvious path forwards.

Sometimes when the feminine takes too much space and tips the equilibrium we can get caught in indecision and procrastination. By drawing the masculine back in and honouring the importance of masculine energy we are balancing ourselves to a more effective and complete place.

Below is a short visualisation to draw more of the masculine spark back into your life. 

If you don’t have five minutes to do this now write down somewhere a time when you promise to do this for yourself.

The best way I find to do these visualisations when someone else isn’t guiding you is to read through them first and then remembering as much as you can close your eyes and begin the process.

Beginning now…

Close your eyes and take in a few deep breaths, really allowing yourself to release on the exhale.

As you slow yourself into a place of peace with these deeply nourishing breaths I want you to imagine a space just at the bottom arc of your sternum.

Imagine there is a small, warm glow here; amber in colour and with a warmth that sends energy and invigoration gently through your body.

As you continue to breathe in slowly and deeply imagine that this glow is growing larger, morphing into a distinct flame at the centre of your body.

Watch the red and amber fire peak, the flames licking at the air with little golden sparks shooting off and flying through the veins of your body.

Following these sparks of golden light, you see them entering into each and every cell of your body, as if they are flicking on a switch, igniting a forgotten memory of purpose and direction.

Soon you feel that your whole body has been awoken by this deep burning flame.

The golden sparks of light have entered each and every cell and you can feel a gentle hum as the energy grows collectively within your body, pulsating at the core of your being.

You feel activated and alive.

As you bring your attention back to the flame at your centre you see it has now returned back into it’s deep glow, but this time a brilliant gold just like the sparks that were sent throughout your body.

Know that this glowing epicentre is continuously recharging the cells throughout your body keeping you energised and focused throughout your day.

The process is now complete.

Inviting the masculine energy back into your life allows a greater energy for direction and change.

Conversations that needed to happen occur more easily.

Decisions that need to be made come with ease.

Affirm to yourself three times,

“I am a strength and light. I have all I need within me and am confident to step forward in the direction of my dreams.”

With love,

Erin x
