Getting in touch with our"feminine"side (chapter 61) - a podcast by Corey Farr
from 2021-05-23T12:00
Episode 5 was called "Getting in touch with God's feminine side" and it has been a really popular episode. Today, we'll do the first of two episodes on our "feminine" and "masculine" sides, or our yin and yang virtues. Keep in mind these have almost nothing to do with normative gender roles. Lao Tzu shows us quite clearly that all people need a balance of both, yet he stresses the feminine more often since we live in such a "masculine" world. Today we'll look at three sets of characteristics pointing to three ultimate goals. Next week, we'll look at their equal and opposite counterparts that point to the same goals.
1. Submission and yielding -> an invitation to cooperation
2. Openness and receptivity -> transformation
3. Humility and self-aware selflessness -> abundance of love
