GIVE CONTAINMENT TO YOUR WOMAN’S CORE, NOT TO HER EMOTIONS Even before being concerned with giving Containment to anyone, including your woman, it’s good as a man to have a distinction between your Core and your Emotions. A man himself should be anchored in his Core, and not be focused on the changing weather of his emotions.  One of the hallmarks of masculinity is: can a man stay centered in turbulent situations?  Can a man stay centered even when his own emotions might be stirred? Can a man stay centered even when in fear? Can a man function when emotional temperatures around him are running high. Can a man show up and contribute even when he himself is feeling challenged. So, to give Containment to your woman’s Core, you first need to be anchored in your own Core. From there, it will seem more logical and correct for you to offer Containment to your woman — from your Core to her Core.  Just as you are not knocked off-course by your own emotions of the moment, you will not be knocked off-balance by your woman’s emotions. ******************** These days, I see too many men who are doing the reverse — men who are not anchored in their own Core; men who are not able to hold their center when their emotions rise; instead, they sway and turn watery in their own emotions.   Then, when they engage with women, they engage their women’s emotions with their own emotions.  This is NOT Containment.   This meeting of women’s emotionality with the man’s emotionality is the opposite of Containment.  It is the equivalent of blowing on the flames only to add oxygen to the fire, instead of putting out the fire. Stop engaging your woman’s emotions.  Offer Containment to her Core instead. Stop being flailed around by your own emotions; keep centered in your own Core instead. ******************** A balanced woman who is not running some manipulation energy with you will want your Containment. If you encounter a woman who seems less interested in receiving your Containment and instead wants to inflame your emotions, you are facing an aspect of the Dark Feminine! If a woman is less interested in you providing her Containment and more interested in inflaming the emotion-to-emotion drama and charge between the two of you — that woman is either in her pain body, or the emotionality she wants to evoke in you is her means of throwing you off-balance so she can control you better by manipulating your emotions. — Om Rupani — OmRupani.org www.OmRupani.org
