Being in Touch With Your Feminine Side is Healthy

Whether it's President Obama's nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor as a Supreme Court justice or the recent election of four women to the Kuwait assembly, it begs the question: Is everyone getting more in touch with their feminine side?

Regardless of gender, every person has masculine and feminine attributes. Being in touch with your feminine side is healthy for both men and women. While masculine energy has been more associated with positive traits such as action and strength, the more receptive feminine energy has often been labeled as weak and emotional. However, it's precisely the connection with the emotions and feelings inherent in the feminine that gives women (and many men) incredible power and forethought.

Intuition, often described as "women's intuition", is the attainment of knowledge outside of the normal rational thinking process. It's that little voice inside of you that guides you, warns you and comforts you. It can save you time, and sometimes even save your life. Being more receptive, women are traditionally more in tune with their intuition, which could lead to smarter decisions. The feminine energy is also more communicative, which is an invaluable trait in delaying or preventing possible conflicts. Think of your own life or work and how many confrontations could have been avoided if only people spoke up about their issues early on.

Leaders of a business, a government or a family can all benefit by getting in touch with their feminine side.
