When I talk about crystals, you’ll often hear me referring to feminine and masculine energy. For most people, when anyone mentions masculine and feminine your mind immediately goes to gender. But masculine and feminine energies have nothing to do with gender. Every person has both masculine and feminine energies within us!

You can think of masculine and feminine energies as a sliding scale—everyone has both energies but some lean more towards the masculine energy side of the scale while others are closer to the feminine energy side.

The ideal is to find a happy medium—an energetic balance between our feminine and masculine energies. But there are times when it is essential to tap into one of these energies more than the other.

Working with crystals can help you find balance and keep it! Many amazing crystals can tap into your feminine energy, your masculine energy, and those that work to balance the energies.
