Journal Reflections:
What is your relationship to your masculine energy?
Reflect on the qualities you notice in yourself that are passed on from your Father/GrandFather:
What characteristics do you celebrate?
What are you are healing
What stops with you!
The pathway to healing and….
Redefining the masculine energy is the same for what we need to do for healing the Divine feminine energy.
The Divine Masculine also carries Sacred Medicine through ceremony tradition, stories, rituals, and communal sharing.
The Divine Masculine has also been torn apart by wounds, competition, emotional expectations, paradigms of honour, and the culture of what it is to be a Man through various ways of being.
To reshape this way of being with ourselves and what you and I were surrounded with; there needs to be honest exploration in what needs to be healed:
How we see each other?
How we support each other?
How we treat each other and we have been treated?
How we hear/understand?
How we celebrate / show love to others?
How you see yourself?
What the impact has been had on yourself?
The Divine Masculine energy…
……… has largely been shaped as an energy or physical entity in motion doing, striving, protecting, fixing, conquering, being successful, and being strong.
Weakness was characterized as being to emotional, feminine, or just plane right not strong. The world being on the shoulders of a man and that man being able to take it and save the day.
I don’t know about you; but that is a lot of pressure for any human. Yet this when the patriarchal era took over; societies and our personal energy adapted to that.
However there is a disconnect to have space for the masculine to completely unravel, to express the humanity, and to allow the feminine to support the masculine energy.
Create the space for the Divine Masculine energy ……
….. to fully be supported and in its full expression. Reflect on your relationship with your masculine energy.
How do you notice the energy embodied and be actualized through you? The qualities of the masculine are largely in structure, protection, creating safety, and action.
Ambition, Hustle culture, and goals will drive and motivate the masculine energy with in us. We have largely seen the examples from our physical masculines in the world and our inner circles.
None of these things are wrong. We need the structure etc.
Broaden the perspective and ask yourself: Are you working with these qualities in harmony or do they over take the feminine energy within you?
Learning from the Father lineage
This is the first representation of the Divine Masculine just as your Mother is the first representation of the Divine Feminine.
The relationship between the two can be of ease or complex. As you take a broader look at the Masculine energy within yourself; you notice what and who you were surrounded by that impacted your masculine energy within you.
Can you see and acknowledge your Father/Your Father’s Father and so on as a human being with flaws and good qualities?
Can you notice the struggle and the ease? What do you notice about your masculine energy that has been influenced by your Father?
What do you need to say to forgive your Father/Male lineage and celebrate the qualities that you most admire?
A New way of being…
What would it feel like to have harmony between your masculine and feminine energy?
Would it feel unfamiliar?
OR
A breath of fresh air?
A turning point; A new paradigm where things are done differently…. Sacred Union between the Divine Masculine and Feminine requires that both support each other equally. Each one has got each others back.
They both dance in exquisite harmony.
It does not mean they will not push against each other once in a while. There is a core rememberance that each one supports each other to thrive. There is less burn out, depletion, and conflict within.
Vision this way of being: What do you need for your Divine Masculine and Feminine to dance unified?

Fire Devotional Ritual Practices:
Womb Breath/Dialogue - Sit anywhere comfortable cradle your womb space with your hands. Allow your muscles to drop. Breathe in expand your belly button into your hands. Breathe out pull in your womb towards your spine. Continue this practice for 5 rounds (Inhale/Exhale thats one round). Visualize the ocean as you breathe. Feel the power of the sacred waters hydrating, nourishing, clearing, and cleansing your womb space.
After the 5 rounds continue your attention in your space and listen in stillness. You ask the question what is the message I need to know right now OR Ask any question that is alive and present for you in the moment. Trust in the words, pictures, songs, people, memories that come through. It will answer your question. If you do not receive anything right way trust that you will in time.
Gratitude and Appreciation:
Celebrate yourself on where you have been and how far you have come to this moment. Write in your journal or stand in front of the mirror and say it out loud. Feel the frequency of your words.

Sacred Rage Movement
Allow any energies of anger, confusion, frustrations, guilt, shame, powerless, doubt, resentment, suppression, emotions unexpressed…… to move through and out of the body. Do this as long as you need. Notice how your body responds. Give yourself what you need. When you are finished you may make space for crying. Allow the tears to flow, make space for stillness, write what you have received, and then nourish yourself with lots of water/good food.
