Balancing your Energy for Anxiety ReliefĪll beings, regardless of physicality, posses both masculine and feminine energies. Until one day when someone introduced me to the concept of masculine and feminine energies, and my life changed forever. I slapped on bandaid after bandaid, hoping that something would make me feel whole and worthy, while also stopping the ensuing panic attacks and incessant need to climb and achieve.

I vividly remember the need for external validation as early as my elementary years when I’d bring home report cards with all A’s in excited anticipation of praise from my parents.
