The balance between the masculine and feminine energy makes up our inner essence of our soul. When these two energies are balanced the result is what makes up our being and gives us our power. The first step in balancing ones energy is to balance our inner energy to what is happening in the outer world of our lives. When we are living in an environment that is not favorable to us, we are being influenced by the energy of that environment. The energy that we surround ourselves with is what creates our reality. So, if we are able to detach ourselves from the negativity when things do not go our way, we would be able to experience character growth, and create a reality that's more favorable to us. When we are in the process of balancing our energy, we are also balancing our inner body, or our spirit. The balance of energy that happens inside our body creates the harmony that gives us our inner strength.
