Everyone you come across has certain attributes that might be a little more masculine or a little bit more feminine. Doesn’t matter of you are male or female, straight or not. We all know someone like that. The important thing is to try to have them balanced. It’s okay to lean more one way or another, but when you get to far off balance, it can create issues with yourself and in your personal life. To balance these energies, practice by using each side of the masculine and feminine. If one side is stronger or weaker, use more from one side than the other. There will never be a 50/50, because this causes feelings of being lost and confused. Try to aim for a 60/40 depending on if you are male or female or who you most closely relate based off your sexual preference.
