Strength In Men

Masculinity cares deeply, is powerfully STRONG and feels fully.

Human sentience thrives on connection. All expressions of human thrive on caring, intimacy and reciprocal respect.

Men can be strong. Men can express strength and prowess and still hold compassion and understanding. Men can still be integrated and connected.

Being strong does not mean being forceful or disrespecting the needs or rights of others. When we express healthy strength we are living true to our potential and our power.

How it was is not how it needs to continue to be. I get it. The past has tainted the present through association and relived trauma. There is deep wounding. Forgiveness is key and prior to that the allowing of release of this tension is necessary to truly forgive and move forward.

The 7 steps to living in greater societal equity:

1. Willingness to shift
2. Exploration of the unknown
3. Honoring our path and our truth
4. Assume ownership of our collective actions (past and present)
5. Formulate new beliefs around the way we interact – forget about what we think we know
6. Identify and forge a new path with clarity
7. Live in this truth unapologetically AND with deep forgiveness and compassion

Men are getting a bad rap for not evolving quick enough, there has been suppression on all counts in so many ways. Men have suppressed themselves by limiting themselves through extreme and fear based behavior.

We have an opportunity to view the world differently. And not devalue our gifts but rather embrace them and redirect them in such a way that promotes inclusivity and not separation.

Men can be strong in their grounded presence and still practice compassion and care.

One is glad to be of service.

Fatherhood: The Blueprint of a Child’s Future

Fathers are often viewed as monumental figures in the family unit, symbolizing protection, guidance, and moral integrity. They instill a sense of discipline, order, and security in their children’s lives. This significant influence of fathers on their children’s identity and self-perception highlights the importance of a father’s emotional and spiritual health. Fathers need to harmoniously embody a range of roles – as a leader, a spiritual guide, a protector, and an empathetic companion.

Assuming the role of fatherhood entails a substantial, almost sacred, responsibility. It demands profound self-awareness, a commitment to personal growth, and the versatility to adopt multiple roles. As I navigate the path of fatherhood, I delve deep into my values and character, reflecting on my identity, aspirations, and the legacy I wish to create.

Bullies Are Tortured Souls

Fractured and fragmented by their own sense of not belonging, feeling rejected, and being isolated themselves. They turn to outward blame and assault to feel better and feel relief from their powerlessness. It doesn’t justify it, nor make it right… We heal through resilience and compassion. Lets’ delve in deeper…

Acknowledge Your Pain

There is no shame in acknowledging our pain.

When man hides his grief with anger we all suffer. I was excessively angry for so long. Blaming others for my repeated “misfortunes”, snapping at those I loved and hating on everything that went “wrong” in my life.

Our Head – Her Womb

Where is the most amazing place to be? The most sacred? The most profound and the most connected? The immediate response is within our own sovereignty and our own being. Here is where we cultivate real and authentic power…

Masculine Sexual Health

If we do not choose to connect deeply to those we share our sexual energy with, then who are we, why are we and what are we to ourselves? There is nothing ‘wrong’ with hedonistic urges and practices. This is a beautiful place to be and is necessary for us as men to explore in order to initially define ourselves, our needs, values and postures…
