From the author: Published in the magazine TRANSITION No. 4 "Man and woman. Keys from the heart" on the author's website of Nadezhda Ognenko Two keys from the heart...March 23, 2012In this entry you will receive two keys from the heart of a loved one – two articles from the new issue of the magazine TRANSITION, published by Nadezhda Ognenko. Those who subscribed to the free magazine naturally received the entire issue and all the keys. But I decided to bring a little joy to those who do not subscribe to the magazine. Read two articles. I root for you, I breathe you... Love enchants, magnetizes, bewitches. Love “loses their heads”, love “blows the roof”, love “gets sick”. Did you know that love is actually included in the register of diseases by the World Health Organization? Love began to be considered a mental disorder and was classified under the heading “Disorder of habits and inclinations.” Now love has taken pride of place among disorders, right after alcoholism, gambling addiction, substance abuse and kleptomania. And really, what is not a disease? The state of love even has certain symptoms. These include obsessive thoughts about others, and self-pity if everything doesn’t go the way you want, and an inflated sense of self-esteem, and insomnia, and restless sleep, and thoughtless impulsive actions, and pressure changes, and headaches... . And much more. Yes, there is something to think about. Of course, it is impossible to fully reflect the topic of relationships between a man and a woman on the pages of our magazine. The best writers, artists, sculptors, psychologists, philosophers have been revealing it for centuries...And is it still there? Yes, perhaps not. Something is still moving. Many people nowadays have begun to think about how to build their relationship with their partner harmoniously, easily and in the least painful way. How to learn to listen and hear each other, how to feel the state of the soul of your loved one. And it’s wonderful that such a time has come. For those who do not look for the reasons for their difficult relationship with a partner outside, but who look for them within themselves and learn to hear the other, we created this number. We have collected materials that have practical value and can help you understand the topic of relationships, love addiction, conflicts or misunderstandings with a partner. A man and a woman are two different poles, two different models of behavior. And uniting these poles is not an easy job, but it is quite feasible. It requires thoughtful attention to yourself and your partner, incredible patience and even spiritual transformation. But the feeling of mutual love, the feeling of unification with your opposite and the opportunity to have a being nearby who understands, feels and supports you is so wonderful that any work on yourself is worth it! Nadezhda Ognenko A man is light, and a woman is darkness? Let's look at a man and a woman as a ratio of Yin-Yang energies. If men and women remember from time to time that they are different not only in physique, but also in physiology, in attitude to life, and in ways of self-expression, that it was not by chance that nature created them so different, then the likelihood of creating stronger and sensitive relationships will increase many times over. In any case, I would like to believe this. ♥ A man is day, light, and a woman is night, darkness. Yes, this is how we are created by nature. At the symbolic level, male energies correspond to the state of day and light, while female energies correspond to the opposite. In my “True Woman” or “Deep Femininity” trainings, I asked women which part of the Yin-Yang symbol corresponds to male energies and which to female ones. And what do you think, the women answered me? Of course, the white and fluffy ones are them, and the black and dark ones, brrr... are the men. But everything is just the opposite! ♥ A man is the air that gives life to the earth. A woman is earth, surrendering to the Spirit (air). A man is not manifested life, he is Spirit, Emptiness, Nothing. A woman is life in manifestation, it is matter and fullness, that is everything. Earth without air is dead, and air without earth is unable to create anything. The body at the symbolic level- this is the earth. And the body breathes. How does it breathe? How does one let the Spirit into one’s life? Look, the Yin-Yang symbol itself seems to be breathing. The dividing line is wavy, smooth, like inhalation and exhalation... ♥ A man on a symbolic level is life and, accordingly, inhalation, and a woman is death and, accordingly, exhalation. Only when inhalation is replaced by exhalation is an intense and fulfilling life possible. It is impossible to live only with exhalations or only with inhalations. Don't believe me? Try it! What if it works?! That is why it is so important to accept both inhalation and exhalation, both life and death, both masculine and feminine. Opposites always strive for each other in order to merge and create something holistic! ♥How do men and women behave? More precisely, how should they behave based on the programs laid down by nature? A man introduces himself, acts, achieves, and a woman accepts, preserves, and nurtures. Compare the structure of male and female genital organs. A man enters and inserts himself into a woman’s womb, and not a woman enters a man. The woman accepts and lets you in. The structure of her organs is such as to let in, and then nurture new life within. Therefore, a woman, in essence, is a guardian, and a man is a conqueror. ♥ A man is a magician who rigidly structures and changes the world through forceful (volitional) influence. A woman is a witch and sorceress who gently influences the world around her and knows how to harmoniously fit her desires into the energy flows of the Universe. A man thinks, and a woman feels. Doing like a man: I want, I do, I have. Doing like a woman: I want - I don’t - I have. Non-doing, in this case, is not the absence of action at all. This is the ability to relax and surrender. And then a lot comes to a woman without any extra effort. To create like a woman is to create from within, trusting the flow of life. How does a woman create a child? She accepts the man’s energy, preserves it, unites it with her own energy, and from this integrity grows something new. ♥ A man is activity, and a woman is passivity. Remember life and death, day and night. The day is for active life, and the night is for passive life. Moreover, sleep is called a little death. And we usually sleep at night. In the modern world, the greatest importance is attached to activity and in every possible way they ignore passivity, relaxation and death. But when a person is overly active, he creates diseases in the body and difficulties in life. It is no coincidence that the emblem of the balance of energies “Yin and Yang” was once created in the East. It demonstrates two parts of one process. Harmony is when the feminine energies of passivity, gentleness and acceptance are complemented by the masculine energies of authority, firmness and control. Or vice versa. Then the woman does not have to take on the function of a man, as often happens in our time. And then it is easier for a man to be a real man, as his nature originally planned. ♥ A man is movement and knowledge, light and order, excitement and tension, positive energy, from the point of view of Yin-Yang energies. The man is in a hurry, running, in a hurry, thinking with his head. And a woman lives by the process, the current moment, feelings. A woman is immobility and conservatism, it is darkness and chaos, it is inhibition and relaxation, it is negative energy. Yes, that's true, nothing can be done. Just don’t consider negative energy bad and be afraid of it. Without subtraction there is no addition, without minus there is no meaning for plus. Isn’t it? In a word, such analogies can be drawn, if not indefinitely, then for quite a long time. Therefore, let’s move on to “prose.” Each of us has both masculine and feminine, there are masculine qualities and there are feminine ones. However, a modern woman, for example, is more familiar with her male part. Money, time, and effort are spent on its development. The truly feminine part in the modern world is, to put it mildly, abandoned. She receives attention only from the outside: her figure, clothes, cosmetics, jewelry. Deep femininity, which is what men value in women, is not in demand by many women. That is why there are a large number of problems in the personal lives of women and men. A man doesn't need another one…
