"Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes.
If it were always a fist or always stretched open,
you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence
in every small contracting and expanding, the two
as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings."
Rumi
The Essential Rumi
As a trained energy worker, I have great respect for the ancient beliefs of the Eastern Culture. What a person needs or what is lacking is often displayed in the energy field. If we regard the left side of the body as female energy and the right side as masculine, we gain deeper insight.
The feminine side is creative and receiving; whereas, the masculine side is analytical and extending. Any individual contains both the feminine and masculine sides. It is advantageous to maintain balance between the two for navigating in life.
The awareness of our multi-sided body allows us to be more masculine (analytical) in some situations and more feminine (creative) in others. Flexibility allows us to flow back and forth, preventing the energy from becoming stuck on one side or the other. Balance facilitates the beauty in the physical, mental, and spiritual. Ideally, we maintain a balanced combination in the midst of all three.
