Masculine and feminine traits

[B222]

What are the benefits of embodying both, masculine and feminine traits?

[Emerald]

The benefits is wholeness and a realization of Self.

Because everyone has both Masculine and Feminine traits, resisting the embodiment of either of these 'energies' will lead to repression and a splitting of wholeness.

@Emerald thanks

Google Jungian self actualization. The anima and animus. Study anthropology and male and female gods.

It's about balance and wholeness while still embracing your gender. Maturity. Healthy emotions. Being natural and authentic. Laugh easily. Shudder easily. Be at ease. Put others at ease.

For me, embodying masculinity leads to a better sense of self.

As a background I am repressing so much my masculinity because of childhood conditioning that says a narrative of "being a man always creates evil", I also don't have any healthy masculine figure in my environment.

Some benefits are: that I can be more assertive and certainly won't hold back myself doing what I need to do to achieve the goal in mind. I can assert dominance and leadership if I need to. My whole body is also more grounded, I can feel all my body as ever before. I am not as arrogant as before (I am not sure why), but certainly I am more courageous. I am more at ease. My body has some kind of warm aura (I never felt it before).

As Emerald says before, it makes me more whole. Literally.

@Manusia I have the opposite issue - repressing much of my femininity.

Life will present you when it’s time for change. And it’s never too late to explore.

I’ve suppressed it so much that I lost contact with how it even feels and affects me.

That was my past self, anyhow. Now I’m slowly learning to explore and not be afraid of femininity.
