A Man’s Worth

I once thought that my worth as a man was derived from my title, status, what I accumulated and what I DID in the world. I honestly believed that the only way to feel worthy was defined by what I had, not who I am.

Like many of us, I chased the proverbial carrot and poured everything I had into acting according to how I thought society wanted me to act. There was no way I was leaving the comfort of the status quo.

Until I did… And then life changed for the better. I ceased to place my self-worth in the hands of others. I moved away from validating myself, thoughts and actions based on the expectations of others.

I began to embrace the intrinsic worth that was me – that is all of us. I realized that my character, embodied values and the consistency in my behavior was more important than what car I drove, the woman I was with, how much money was in my bank account, or how many letters I had following my name.

All of these things are nice and in fact I advocate for them, BUT not at the expense of experiencing harmony and connection. Our happiness is our responsibility. If we place it in ‘things’, possessions, other people’s opinions, and status we are playing a losing game.

As men, we like to be in control of our environment, attempting to control all that is outside of us is a fruitless task. How we respond and how we feel about ourselves based on the values we choose to live by outweighs the need to impress others through a bottomless pit of external validation.

Be your own man, run your own race, breathe the unknown, leap in to the mystery, explore the forbidden and innovate your path. For the path you forge for yourself is the only one that truly matters.

And more important, how you relate to that path and how you see yourself based on your empowered actions is the only act that matters.

One is glad to be of service.

Anahata Chakra

The area of the heart (Anahata) can be challenging for solarised masculine men to open, express healthily and still remain in yang or solar energy. This chakra is part of the mental body and can be challenging to arouse. To activate this area of expression and being, it is essential we have activated the receptive side of our being.

Nurturing A Woman’s Heart

Where do you feel you could be more present to deepening or opening the heart of your beloved and in turn get to know more about you? For me, it is more profound layers of compassion and deepened empathy. Remember, others have a history of hurt that they now also find it difficult to give their hearts and trust again…

The Truthful Gaze

It can be difficult to honor ourselves. Self-love and self-honoring haven’t been a priority for the collective. We have become more accustomed to obsessing as opposed to healthy honor and worship of others instead of ourselves.

What if we could use the act of HEALTHY worship of another to provide us with deep insight in to our own worth? What if the healthy, non-attached, compassionate, wise and cosmic worship of another allowed us to see our worthiness and value?

The Sacred Invitation

There is something magnificent about the human gaze… Particularly that of a woman. She is able to show so much of who she is, what has been and what will be.

As men, it is an honour to witness the sacredness of the gaze. This invitation into the soul and essence of a woman’s world liberate us from overthinking.

The Unrivaled Essence Of Man

What we often forget amongst rhetoric and discourse that is harmful towards the positive attributes of man is that we are in a time and space of immense transformation.

We have entered a period of relating where man and woman are uniting under the banner of sentience. Under the perspective of connectedness, wholeness and unification.
