For the maturing of the male principle or the man within. For both men and women the promoting of positive creativity that also nurtures an awareness of the needs of the environment while achieving goals. Helpful in balancing achievement with life sustaining qualities such as caring and community/family spirit. Within us the creative force blends with the receptive force. If we are to become whole, then the two must be at one. Our creative force expresses the power to protect and love the created Universe and to be fearless on our journey forward. The aboriginal people see the Balga and its flower as the warrior standing with his spear watching over the tribe.
Balga is used for women and men who find it hard to be forthright and assertive, or whose assertiveness is aggressive and overpowering. Both these indicate a lack of maturity and full development of the masculine strength within. Commonly used for young boys and girls and adolescents who cannot integrate their new sexuality (the assertive/masculinity) into their being and are either lacking in their masculine strength or are out of balance, with the negative, dangerous and destructive side predominant. Used also for the person who cannot tap into their creativity, their ability to go into new territory and explore original and new horizons.
