One of the deepest longings in relationships is this: For the feminine to feel safe enough to open fully…And for the masculine to feel trusted enough to stand strong.
This isn’t about roles you’re stuck in. It'ss about energies we all carry... And when these energies are honored, connection deepens.
For the Masculine (Holding Space)
To “hold space” means being grounded and present when emotions rise. It's not about fixing. It’s not about defending. It’s about creating safety.
Here's a practice for the masculine:
- When she’s expressing, breathe slowly and stay grounded.
- Listen without interrupting or trying to solve.
- When she’s done, simply say: “I hear you. I’m with you. I got you"
That’s how she knows your presence is steady, not conditional.
For the Feminine (Being Held)
To “be held” doesn’t mean weakness..it means trust.. It's letting your heart soften instead of leading with armor.
Here's a practice for the woman:
- When he offers support, don’t dismiss it. Receive it.
- Practice saying: “Thank you. That means a lot.”
- Allow yourself to lean back and let him lead.
That’s how he knows his strength is welcomed, not wasted. That's how you plant seeds in him that confirm it's okay for him to lead you with strength, presence, and consistency.
When the masculine holds space, the feminine feels safe to open. When the feminine allows herself to be held, the masculine rises taller & steps into his king.
This is how polarity is created.This is how intimacy deepens.This is how love expands.
