How Vessel Breathing Can Balance the Masculine & Feminine
No matter if you are born male or female, you have both feminine and masculine energies running thru your body. And ideally, you want to have both of them balanced and integrated. A balanced feminine essence is about discernment, intuition, creative energy, flow, and flexibility. A balanced masculine essence is about boundaries, structure, and taking action. So how do they work together in a harmonious balanced way? How are you playing with these energies within your own system? It looks like this: You use your feminine essence to tap into your discernment, your intuitive knowing, and sense whether or not something feels right. Then you decide if you need some boundaries around it and you employ your masculine energies to take action. This is how you walk thru your life with a healthy balance of energies.
So if you want to enliven your ability to trust your gut, your inner wisdom, and your discernment, you will want to improve the energetic flow and vitality of your wisdom center located at the 2nd chakra in the lower abdomen. And the way you do that is by engaging Mula Bandha (squeezing the muscles of your pelvic floor) to create a vessel that collects energy and concentrates it right at this wisdom center, and then breathing through it.
Let’s try this practice together.
1. Start Central Channel Breathing, moving from overhead and through the body’s central channel to just below the navel in the 2nd chakra. As you do this, contract Mula Bandha, engaging the muscles deep in the pelvic bowl.
2. Continuously hold Mula Bandha during the inhale and exhale as you allow your mind to follow your breath as it moves up and down the channel.
This may feel challenging at the beginning because you are squeezing the belly and expanding the belly at the same time. Allow both to interact with each other, creating a sense of awareness in this wisdom center. It will get easier with practice and you will notice an awakening of your wisdom center. You will also notice that listening to and trusting your intuition becomes more natural.
Use your feminine essence to tap into your discernment, your intuitive knowing, and sense whether or not something feels right.
