If you’d like to take this lesson one step deeper, feel into which of the categories spoke the loudest to you:
Being
Embracing
Feeling
Receiving
Relating.
Choose whichever theme is drawing you and do some journaling on what that aspect brings up for you.
I can't say that any of them spoke to me louder than the others. Seemed sort of boring, actually. But I did like this paragraph at the beginning. For me it was the best part.
Some suggest you should do all you can to attain enlightenment; to us, this represents the
masculine aspect of the awakening process. Others say that any willful effort expended in
seeking enlightenment is a waste because it’s all about non-doing; we see this as the
feminine aspect. In the work of Waking Down in Mutuality, we find that masculine and
feminine approaches are equally important in the awakening process, and that by using both
as appropriate brings the most rapid and transformative results. If the approach is too yin,
there can be openness, but it can lack personal empowerment. If the approach is too yang,
there can be strong intention, but with too much belief or investment in personal control.
Allowing the natural flow of yin and yang, of grace and practice, brings a balance not only to
the awakening process, but to all of life
