Awake in the age of media manipulation| femininity and fear

Fear is a major roadblock when it comes to feminine energy. These last weeks I have been throwing myself into research and data analysis regarding the coronavirus because I could sense something fishy is going on with the whole world being divided into stay-home-haters and defensive skeptics. I have to say after everything I read and observed I feel very awake to the fact that the media is dragging this earth through nothing more than fear and lies. I am one of those skeptics that noticed herself lingering in very masculine energy which was cutting me off emotionally pretty intensely. If you believe this virus to be what it is portrayed as in the media or if you are fearful of your rights being taken away, it still is both fears. We are still fighting the same fight for a better future wondering where we are punching air.

Gathering information, teaching, controlling by growing knowledge and being in a defensive position is all masculine energy that we use to protect our vulnerability and create space for our femininity. Women can use masculine energy to their advantage and protection but if we don’t feel safe to go back into a receptive and responding role rather than a controlling and protecting one, we feel off-balance internally and me personally, I felt disconnected from myself.

For some, this might be a threat like they never experienced it before but I’ve been through countless similar situations before where I was waiting for the threat to be over to let myself be vulnerable again. It is a very natural and normal response to shut down emotionally in the face of danger but I’ve learned that this is something my heart craves to unlearn.

Shutting down our emotions in the midst of danger originates from the underlying belief that the current situation is not in control and that you have been abandoned to deal with it on your own.

I’ve watched a video where the guy was mentioning that if you can’t change a situation you should surrender to it. It means basically allowing this problem to exist and acknowledging it. It is the opposite of denial and running and a leap of faith that is opening up to believe that even this, even this mess of a situation is going to serve you and your purpose in the end. The bible says if you love God, everything works together for your good.

Even what the enemy means for evil, God turns it for our good. It is not an easy thing to sit in the presence of your resistance and breathe into your running, feel yourself panic and allow it to be. But what I can tell you is, in the midst of everything that is going on in your thoughts, there is a safe place to let all your weakness be, we don’t have to endure- we can surrender in the midst of the storm.
