Shakti for a Reason : Why Women are the way they are

 

Shakti for a Reason : 

A Not So Romantic take by a left Brainer  on the Right Brainers. Hope they won't mind . 🕵️‍♂️👳‍♂️

Today is an interesting day when  Mahashivratri and International Women’s  Day have coincided together and on this day I find it quite apt to delve into some intricate facets of  the feminine super power that is integral part of  Bhagwan Shiva also known as Ardhnarinateshwar.. 

So yes, by now generally we all (specifically many men) have accepted the fact that the feminine specie in this world who also is the visible extention of the universal power of creation – is not  equal  but  much much better than the male counterpart .

Infact it wouldn’t be wrong to say that  man is just a miniscule part of the overall purpose and plan of existence of a woman in this universe. She is here with much larger objective and hence comes with abilities and competencies which are far more efficient and effective as compared to a man. 

But what exactly does make  woman  a superlative persona ...? 

Being one of those rational and logical thinking male species, it made me dive deeper to understand what exactly makes the women stand out and here is what I could make of . 

You may find this interesting to read why  exactly the women excel in the following 7 titled personality attributes and that makes me feel more humble and surrender to the power of 

She… the Shakti

 1. Physical Pain Tolerance: Men may boast of better muscular strength but that’s where they stop.. While pain tolerance can vary among individuals, women often exhibit a higher threshold for enduring physical pain compared to men. One reason for this is the presence of higher levels of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, in women. Additionally, women have been shown to have a higher pain tolerance during childbirth, which speaks of their ability to endure intense physical sensations. 

Is that the reason why so many women (specially rural ones)  tolerate physical abuse and still continue their life as usual as long as it is not damaging the overall scheme of things in their reason to continue doing what they do… ?  don't know... May be.. May be not. 

2. Emotional Intelligence and Complex Emotions: Women tend to have higher levels of emotional intelligence, which enables them to navigate complex emotions more effectively than men. This may be attributed to differences in brain structure and hormonal influences. Women often have larger hippocampus tail regions, which are associated with emotional processing and verbal memory. That also answers the question which many men have “ How does she remember what I did or didn't do 15 years ago ?  and ofcourse a balanced  Estrogen level in mensurating women does have a significant role in  their overall emotional health. 

3. Multitasking and Seeing the Bigger Picture: Women have been shown to excel at multitasking and integrating diverse perspectives, allowing them to see both the larger picture and the micro details simultaneously. Studies suggest that women's brains exhibit more connectivity between hemispheres ( inter-hemisphere connectivity ) facilitating enhanced cognitive flexibility and the ability to integrate information from various sources. This neurological advantage enables women to excel in roles that require strategic thinking, problem-solving, and holistic decision-making. 

Now you wont wonder that she , while cooking in kitchen listens to what you are talking over phone, while she is chatting  with the maid…. 😱😱

4. Social Connectivity and Empathy: Women are inherently wired for social connectivity and empathy, which enables them to foster stronger interpersonal relationships and navigate complex social dynamics. This capacity for empathy stems from the mirror neuron system, which allows individuals to understand and resonate with the emotions of others. Women tend to have more active mirror neuron systems, facilitating greater emotional resonance and interpersonal understanding.

5. Intuition and Gut Instincts: Women often rely on intuition and gut instincts to guide their decision-making process. This intuitive wisdom is rooted in Right hemisphere of the human brain or  the emotional center of the brain, which processes subconscious cues and patterns. Women, who generally have better developed right brain show  heightened emotional sensitivity and intuition. These enable them to perceive subtle nuances in interpersonal relationships, anticipate potential outcomes, and make intuitive judgments. This also helps women have better memory, practical thinking, communication and work orientation.

6. Adaptability and Resilience: Women demonstrate remarkable adaptability and resilience in the face of adversity and change. This resilience is shaped by a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors, including hormonal influences, social support networks, and coping mechanisms. Women's ability to navigate challenges and bounce back from setbacks underscores their innate strength and tenacity.

7. Longevity and Health: On average, women tend to live longer than men, exhibiting greater longevity and overall health. This longevity advantage is attributed to various factors, including lower rates of cardiovascular disease, healthier lifestyle choices, and greater emphasis on preventive healthcare.

Women's proactive approach to health and well-being reflects their intrinsic value for self-care and holistic wellness.

These material facts which I gathered from various scientific studies just out of curiosity  underscore the unique strengths and capabilities that women possess, highlighting the multifaceted nature of femininity and its profound impact on individual and collective well-being. 

It goes without saying that, by embracing and honoring these innate qualities, a woman can harness her  full potential and contribute meaningfully to the enrichment of society and the advancement of humanity.... only if she is not  obstructed by the masculine egoistic shortsighted companion in whom she is invested deeply quite often … 

Happy International Women’s day to the much Superior specie  in this universe.
