Embracing feminine & masculine power consciously
Magazine Brand Ambassador Michele Jones
Founder, LYBL - Live Your Best Life / For You Corporation
Michele Jones has found her best life by helping her clients find theirs. Her words, as our Feminessence Brand Ambassador, are profoundly important – with meaning and consequence for all women.
‘Initially, I believed that to be a successful person in business or to ignite and possess the entrepreneurial spirit, I had to bring my masculine energy to the forefront. Drive, strength, confidence, focus, independence… the daily grind… the hustle. Let’s be honest, these are all traits that we tend to admire in an entrepreneur – or maybe we’ve just come to recognise them over time as the characteristics we should possess if we’re to succeed.’
“Living your best life is your most important journey”
‘It was all I had ever witnessed. These were versions of success that I recognised and aspired to, and the kind of life I previously wanted to live. Over time, this has made me realise that it’s no wonder women tend to take on a more masculine persona in business. In a male-dominated world, where male entrepreneurs outnumber women two to one, if not more, most women feel that they need to act more like a man to be successful in business.’
‘That was my early experience of being in business until I could shape my own identity. I had relied on modelling others whom I deemed to be successful or who were in a position of leadership around me at the time.’
‘Fake it until you make it….’
‘I was taught to imitate those around me until my own understanding and innovation could take flight. Perhaps we’re all raised with some of this in us? I believe these characteristics and my understanding of them at the time were purely through stereotypical ideals and social conditioning.’
‘I also believe that this comes from the common misconception that our feminine side is weak, while our masculine side is strong. What I’ve come to realise is, whether you are male or female, whilst our feminine energy is indeed softer, it’s by no means weaker. Both men and women have feminine and masculine energy. It’s about the balance of both, not the lack of one or the other.’
‘I’m so glad I experienced my own awakening to this.’
‘I now believe that through embracing our feminine side, we’re able to produce positive results in business for both genders. The feminine traits that I’ve learnt to bring to the forefront, are embodied and integrated into my day-to-day business operations which have ultimately led to my greatest successes, boosting my business beyond my earliest dreams or vision. These are traits such as thoughtfulness and compassion, vulnerability, intuition, patience and collaboration, and they all stem from accessing deep insights and the core of my passion. What I’ve also learnt is that they cannot fit purely into the three-dimensional, physical mode of operating.’
‘Globally, the human race is operating either in 3D, 4D or 5D levels of consciousness, or a combination of all three. Most of us are moving back and forth between two or three of these dimensional states of consciousness depending where we are at in our lives, and where we are on our own path. 3D is usually represented by feelings of fear, limitations, lack of interconnectedness, suffering, working hard to succeed, being locked in by time and space or the belief that proximity holds all the power and seeing yourself as an individual that is separate from others.’
‘4D tends to act like a gateway to connect us from our 3D existence into a 5D way of living. 4D consciousness begins to awaken to the idea that we are all connected and that there is more to life than meets the eye. Thoughts become powerful and can shift the way reality is perceived. Duality and the idea of good and bad is still experienced, but there is more compassion and understanding behind it.’
‘There is an opening to the importance of diet, meditation and leading a healthy lifestyle. What you put into your body becomes important and there is a desire to pay attention to how your actions affect the environment and those around you. There is also a strong desire to find your purpose and to follow your passions. You understand that life is meant to be enjoyed and that you are worthy to live the life of your dreams and become your own version of what living your best life means to you.’
‘You perceive the world through six senses and your intuition starts to grow and expand. You seek a deeper meaning to life and you can start to see the synchronicity and magic of the universe. Over this past year, as a human race, many of us have been rapidly shifting into a higher state of consciousness towards and into 5D. The traits of these higher states that I’ve integrated and embodied have
brought with them a greater sense of expansiveness within myself, my clients and my business, and those whose lives I’ve been fortunate to touch.’
‘This has allowed for more possibility, more opportunity and more sense of ease, yet a deeper understanding at the core of it all and with greater meaning.’
‘The 5D state feels effortless.’
‘From this level of consciousness, you begin to understand that we are all one and we are all connected. Life becomes an adventure of growth and there is no such thing as good or bad. Judgement ceases to exist. There are stronger feelings of love and connectedness with others, the planet and even the galaxies around us.’
‘Love and compassion reign supreme.’
‘You understand that everyone is on their own journey. There is a higher purpose for all things and every experience holds meaning. Everyone is equal and there is a desire to live from a place of pure authenticity. You understand that your purpose is to live your truth and to seek joy.’ ‘From this state, you know there is no competition and there is enough in the universe for everyone. You feel peaceful emotions of love and compassion for life, Mother Earth and the stars around you.’
‘The challenges and suffering that occur in life don’t have the same intensity. You can face them with a sense of ease and a knowing that everything is for your highest good. Your intuition is extremely strong and you may even feel connected to angelic beings and ‘god-like’ signs of the universe or the divine, whatever you relate to the most as your own source of the higher power, beyond our human existence. I believe that as more humans make this shift, they will experience oneness, radical forgiveness, unconditional love, manifestations at a faster rate and a feeling of being supported by energy as our dreams and purpose begin to unfold.’
It ’s our job to continue to awaken to it and to understand the elements of embracing feminine and masculine power consciously as we move forward through life on our own path, on our own journey. - Michele Jones
‘For this to happen we must surrender the old story we have been told and at the very least be open to another way of being. We must give up the resistance created in hanging onto the old narrative of struggle, fight and pain which keeps all of humanity rooted in the energy of the old 3D.’
