Shiva Shakti
According to Shaivism, one of the major branches of yogic philosophy, there is divine masculine energy that takes the form of the Hindu god, Shiva, and divine feminine energy that takes the form of the goddess, Shakti.

Both Shiva and Shakti are alive in both men and women. All of us have divine masculine (Shiva) aspects and divine feminine (Shakti) aspects to our being. Our feminine side resides on our left side while the masculine resides on our right side. We hold these energies within us and, when united, there is a complete balance, joy, and presence within our very being.
