"If God had to build a door,
it's because we erected a wall."
Craig D. Lounsbrough
In childhood, we may have experienced the sense of being inappropriately exposed rather than protected by others. When this happens, we heavily depend upon our masculine side, projecting it as a wall in order to protect our sensitive feminine side. Sadly, this is often required in order to survive.
As we grow older, however, we no longer need this layer of protection. Our inner child can be deliberately comforted to feel safe as we as an adult can weave our way through circumstances. So our masculine side (aggressive) and our feminine side (sensitive) can be finally balanced as we use our voice to project our preferences objections.
If we do not equally balance our lovely selves, our layer of protection will not only protect us from unsafe scenarios, but from healthy positive ones at all. We inadvertently wall off both the good and the harmful. When we remove our prickly defenses we do run the risk of harm or pain to the heart, but this is a part of life, not punishment or rath. We learn and continue to move forward strengthening our voice with united elements of physical and emotional strength.
