That has fully attuned herself to these feminine and masculine polarities, she begins to vibrate a certain power of assurance in who she is. Not only to herself plus immediate surroundings, but the world at large. This is the woman that knows how to fight. Higher than a physical level, because physical fights are the lowest vibration of dueling. She can fight spiritually, mentally, emotionally-- winning almost every time. She knows how to safegaurd, while creating her space. So once she has or even if she is just beginning to tap into these energies she will notice that the dealings she now has with Men become comepletely different then what was experienced before. It is like opening up a vortex, bringing yourself into a different dimension when a woman knows her power, along with knowing how to carry herself. There is a fear, a deep seated fear in the hearts of many men & women alike in relation to the potential of this woman. For Men , the fear is a perceived as a loss of power or patriarchal perception of masculinity when they come across a woman of such stature. They may begin to feel intimidated, extremely insecure when they begin to see themselves as a competitor in relation to this woman instead of an ally. For women, their fear lies in potentially losing their Man.
There are Two Things within the Patriarchal Society the Man & Woman Hate to Hear
For the Man, It is anything empowering the "Woman". For The Woman, it is "Kill God". God being associated with the figure and personification of a male for the past dynasty in religious terms hence leading a Womans spirituality being guided not by her own greatness, but by that of a mans. This is very important that we see these mishaps, let them be addressed so that we can acknowledge truths. Not facts or opinions, because both can be debated by theory & degrees. Understood in depth by our cells.
When the Man forgets the womb from which he came they then fall victim to the femininity of emotions. Between the man, woman & child, how does abuse suffice within the threshold of the family? Check out a great Netflix Documentary Called, "The Mask You Live In". This film makes an excellent break down as to how The demise of the feminine has led to the demise of the masculine. Boys are being raised to be ashamed of all that is feminine within them, by their parents & their worlds outside the home especially. Raising him never to cry, & if he does cry do not baby him. However when our daughters cry we come to comfort them, usually giving them affection without allowing them to overcome their pains through their own critical thinking & extroversion. We raise our boys giving them surmount freedoms, allowing them to do things plus go places without much restriction or discipline in how they behave. Our excuse; That they are boys, and boys will be boys. Meanwhile, our daughters not only are raised with being shown "How to behave" as a lady, girls are tremendously confined to rules, guidelines along with restrictions. The best way to impede on a child's psycho social development is by doing these two things. Giving boys too much freedom, without enough discipline; while giving girls too much discipline with little to no freedom.
When we picture an Abusive Man, do we picture a man that is extremely logical; calculating & acting on situations with reason? No. This man is usually seen as overtly emotional, expressing his feelings in volatile manners that cause others around him emotional, mental even physical turmoil. When we picture an abusive woman, do we think of her as extremely feminine handling her life with poise, assertion & grace? NO. We usually picture the abusive woman, more like the Wicked Witch of the West. The Evil, cold & calculating woman with little to no emotions (so it seems). So I ask, how is it in terms of abuse these gender roles are switched? The answer is because the masculine (assertive, yang) plus feminine (passive, yin) is being neglected in each sex, hence the imbalance in a healthy emotionally balanced adult in family structures today.
We all yearn for empowerment, a greater sense of self. With great power comes also GREAT Responsibility. So with anyone seeking to overcome injustices imposed upon them by whatever external force we may perceive, to gain the power you seek taking responsibility is the first step. To be responsible you have to see yourself as apart of a whole, with everything that you think, do, say and feel playing a role into your reality. When we hold onto pain, bad habits, addictions, running from our truths we inhibit ourselves from rising to that place of balance— true beauty— true justice. Continuing to face the same obstacles because there is a lesson we are refusing to learn. In the case of Yin & Yang, the lesson must be learned that these two forces are not the same, nor are they equal in the same ways. Women today are fighting to be seen as “equal” to a man. They are fighting to get rid of the stigma of being a nurturer, trying to prove that they are just as good, if not better than a man at doing things outside of this stigma. The funny part is, most people already know this about women.. that we are great at anything we choose to create. So in reality, whom are we really trying to prove these things to? Let this be something that we know, without having to prove or show anyone anything. When we have to prove something, it is really ourselves that aren’t completely sure. A deep seated insecurity in the power women have. All negative emotions stem from fear, so when something gets you upset ask yourself, what are you afraid of? All fears are illusory, so ask yourself— is this feeling necessary? To the things that serve us not, a wise woman will say nothing. To the things that build us up, a Great Woman will Speak Out; without fear, without spite, only love.

love this post! so much wisdom here and love that the feminine presence of Oya leads the way by being the first image (at least that's who she looks like to me). Resteeming...
Wow! You're right, "with great power comes great responsibility." I've been insecure since a child, and, though I've come a long way, I've never been able to shake that insecurity. I do believe in finding a balance between yin and yang, and that each person is responsible for their own experience.
That said, my experience has been one influenced by anxiety and depression, which are emotional patterns as well as differences in brain chemistry. I'm a highly sensitive person trying to navigate the world, and, though I've had many flares of yang action, I often retreat into yin.
Yes, women are powerful. Yes, we need to find our own balance. And the path to finding that balance can be extremely difficult. Balance constantly fluctuates, each moment calling for more yin or more yang.
I think it is important to acknowledge each person's responsibility for their own life, and the inherent power of women (and you being SO POWERFUL with this post is a great example of that). At the same time, not everyone can step into their power in an instant. Community is as important as self-work in this journey to the empowered self.
I was actually a little intimidated by this post (my own stuff, obviously), so I'd like to state that here, in case anyone else feels the same.
We are all evolving at our own pace, on our own path. Honour yourself, wherever you are. Respect, peace, and love. @katrina-ariel
The beauty in this is showing shades of our perspectives and experiences. I am insecure, but i know it, lol. I wasn't intimidated but some lil parts i disagree. However, overall i find the information both inspiring and usefull. The question is how and when to manifest this knowledge on the blockchain. If a man is afraid or "off balance" then whats the way too handle that withoit swallowing my own fire and purpose. Its one of my biggest issues. Thank you for being do honest!! I love that this post has us fully engaged!!!
Definitely feeling this post. Especially the first part, made me think of something that happened recently. I was criticized this week about being too driven, that I should be careful about what is sent out when I seem to know what I want more than I should. Anyways, long story short, when I got home that night I realized that as a woman, I am criticized when I don't step up to the plate, but also when I do (and believe me, it's not like if I am the person that takes too much space). I am just starting to find myself and just starting to feel and embody the power I can have in my own life. Finding balance is hard but always having to overcome critique is also hard...I am trying to embrace this journey towards accepting my power and finding my balance. But most importantly, I am trying not to give power to those whose only desire is to put me down (or in what they consider my place should be). So thank you for sharing ; )
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻shhhh the teacher is here. Wow😳 Im def of balance most times but its hard for me to fully wrap my brain around. I do love this n i hope to adjust it to fit my previoisly concieved notions lol 😂 I love your writings momma esaia. Tytytyty

Powerful post. Balance is so important and something I work towards all the time. Particularly in my career. There is a male fear of a woman in power in the workplace, and without that balance I'm lost.
Yes, this exists. They are not so much in fear of a woman’s power but, insecure of their own. Ignore their insecurities, focus on your strongpoints & you will attract the admiration necessary to move forward in power ⭐️
Thank you. For the most part, I've done very well. I hold a pretty high level leadership position. But what I find is as I grow into positions with greater and greater responsibilities the fear of my male peers becomes greater. So I have to readjust the balance a little bit with each step up the ladder.
