I remember the first time I received, what for me felt like, the integrated explanation and transmission around The Dark & The Light and the Masculine & The Feminine.  It was through a powerful teaching called "The Cross", that I received from Bruce Lyon, co-founder of ISTA & lander of Highden Temple in NZ. A teaching that taps into the union of Dark & Light and Masculine & Feminine energies within. So you can experience yourself in a deeper Union and your Soul can come through more fully and whole. Today I want to share a simple overview of these energies.. let's dive in...

THE DARK & THE LIGHT => THE VERTICAL

The Dark and The Light are about the vertical connections you have. The dark being about your connection with the ground, your physical body, your lower chakras, Descending and the Great Unknown. The Light being about your connection with your multidimensional nature, your Soul, Ascension and Clarity. 

You could say that the light is more like steam, formless & fluid and the Dark more dense (energetically), more form, more like ice.

The overview below gives you a deeper insight in the qualities of
The Dark & The Light;

THE DARK => MATTER                             

• The Deep                                                  
• Lower chakras                                          
• Descending                                                
• Primal, Raw, Erotic                                    
• Feminine                                                    
• Non- linear                                                 
• Mystery                                                     
• Matter, Blood, Bones                           
• Void                                                           
  
  

THE LIGHT => SPIRIT

• The High
• Upper chakras 
• Ascension
• Consciousness, Presence
• Masculine
• Linearity
• Clarity
• Trancendence, Multidimensionality
• Soul

Do you feel you are more developed in your Dark or in your Light qualities?

Both the Dark & light have shadow aspects, which can be created through a lack or an excess of the Dark & Light.

SHADOW OF THE DARK 

 Lack of Dark

• Disempowered, giving power away to something outside.
• Fear of the unknown.
• Not feeling held

Excess of Dark

• Feeling lost.
• No overview
• Dramatic 

SHADOW OF THE LIGHT

 Lack of Light

• Lack of awareness
• Trapped in the mundane
• Scepticism

Excess of Light

• Controlling
• Needing predictability to feel safe
• Perfectionism 

THE MASCULINE & THE FEMININE => THE HORIZONTAL

The masculine and feminine are more connected to the horizontal and the relational realms. Masculine & Feminine does not mean Male & Female. They are names for energetics and are present in any gender and body. 

We all have both masculine & feminine energies within and the more they are integrated within, the less we will try and search for one or both of them outside ourselves to complete us. *note - Integration does not mean 50-50. It means coming to a healthy integration with the balance in the amount these energies are present uniquely within you. 

Below you find an overview of the energetics of the Masculine and the Feminine. 

FEMININE => THE FLOW

• Receiving
• Magnetizing
• Flow
• Intuition
• Movement, Fluctuating
• Body
• Community
• Dark

MASCULINE => THE STRUCTURE

• Giving 
• Initiating
• Structure
• Logic
• Stillness, Presence
• Mind
• Individuality
• Light 

Which energetics do you see yourself spending more time in? And how can you give yourself more of the quality that is on the opposite side?

Also the Feminine & Masculine have shadows that are caused by either a lack or an excess of them.

SHADOW OF THE FEMININE

 Lack of Feminine

• Disconnected from the physical body & emotions.
• Rigid
• Feeling unsafe

Excess of Feminine

• Feeling "all over the place"
• Chaotic
• Not enough structure 

SHADOW OF THE MASCULINE

 Lack of Masculine

• Not getting things done
• Longing to be saved
• Not present

Excess of Masculine

• Overly structured
• Over doing - burnout
• Too much mind

COMING TO AN INTEGRATION 

Connecting with the polar opposite of where you find yourself spending the most time in of having the most lack off will support you to come to a deeper integration and union within. For example; If you see yourself having a lot of connection with the Dark -> What of the light qualities are you invited to develop more? And if you experience yourself hanging our a lot with your inner masculine, then how can you welcome more of your inner feminine?

In this overview you can see everything I shared in 1 image.
