We are all a divine amalgamation of water and fire, soul and spirit. Two energies: feminine and masculine, two polar opposite forces known as the Anima and Animus. We must learn to connect, explore, and balance our “Anima” and “Animus”, the indwelling masculine and feminine energies that we all possess as ancient raw forms of energy.
The Anima like "a current of air, wind, breath, the vital principle of life, soul,” refers to the unconscious feminine dimension of a male and inspires action through The Animus, the masculine part of a female “the rational soul, life, the mental powers, intelligence,” the unconscious male dimension in the female.
When we lack a strong connection to either the masculine or feminine part of ourselves, we suffer as our souls contain both.
To get back into balance is to observe your life. To ask yourself what side of the spectrum you are leaning more toward: the Anima (feminine) or the Animus (masculine).
What Anima your Soul and Animus your Psyche?
We all contain multitudes.
