Enjoying life as a man and a woman
Detailed Programme
If we want to live our femininity and masculinity in all its rich and wonderful aspects in our relationships, we need to strengthen the masculine and feminine aspects in ourselves.
In our culture, the healthy tension between the two poles of the masculine and the feminine got either neutralised or changed into opposites. The difference between polarities and opposites is the difference between the as-well-as and the either-or.
Relationships between genders are about polarities, the polarity between the feminine and masculine energy role. We tend to assign them to men and women but often, esp. in relationships with the same gender, one part holds tone side and the other partner the other. For that reason I refer to energies and not genders.
There are many confusions and misunderstandings in this realm. We respond to established stereotypes of man and woman and the sexual suppression of the last centuries. This brings up feelings of frustration, disappointment, resentment and conflicts in relationships.
We can overcome this frustration when we re-establish the natural order of love. We need to strengthen the male and female energy roles in each one of us, expand our ability to deal with conflicts constructively and improve the relationship to ourselves. This is the aim of this course running over ten weeks.
The course focuses on the following themes
-
I am grateful for the gift of my femininity/masculinity and use it to make the best out of my talents and abilities for my life. I cooperate with men and women in such a way that our strengths blend to form a synergy that can bring about something greater than what I could accomplish on my own.
-
I have the courage to take responsibility for my attitudes, actions and wellbeing in relationships. I have the strength to allow closeness and depth in relationships and to end relationships if there are irreconcilable differences
-
I understand that love is a state that I can choose when I choose to be in harmony with the forces of life
-
I maintain a clear perspective on what is happening free of emotional distortions and habitual responses
-
I move beyond my tendency to hold on to my partner/others feeling that my survival is threatened. Instead I support my partner/others to unfold his/her/their own potential in freedom and dignity
-
I allow myself and others to explore and express all feelings even if they create chaos, conflicts and pain. I listen, accept, honour and appreciate the feelings of my female/male energy partner instead to focusing the energy on to me.
-
I am fully grounded and balanced. From my centre, I meet the other gender with respect, confidence and self-esteem
-
As a woman, I draw male energy partners into my life so that I can fully embody and live my female energies, and as a man I draw female energy partners into my life so that I can fully embody and live my male energies
-
I am in the flow of life, vibrant, inspired and full of energy. I am grateful for all that is given to me and I use it wisely and responsibly
-
I live my femininity/masculinity in all its aspects end I draw those people into my life that add to my vitality, joy, love and fulfilment and whose life I enrich through my qualities.
