Shiva Program

We live in a masculine world where we generally consider masculine qualities to be associated with ego, power, strength, and toughness, but that is not what masculinity is about. When the masculine energy is balanced and integrated, it has the incredible ability to create equanimity and space for both ourselves and others to feel safe to be authentic.

 

Balanced masculine energy is active, expansive, purposeful, protective and outward. In its wounded form tho we see dominance, aggression, misuse of power, and competitiveness. In many young boys it is easy to see the balanced masculine qualities, they are strong and active and extremely loving and tender at the same time.  Through pressures of society many of us get lost and forget. We think that being strong, contained and emotionless is the only option we have. Terry Real mentioned in his book ‘Fierce Intimacy’, “Girls lose their voice growing up. Boys lose their heart.” The balanced masculine is able to express compassion, empathy and deep feelings of love and care with ease. It presents itself within our discernment, displays in our courage, and thrives on structure, discipline, focus, and direction.

 

We all have masculine and feminine qualities, finding the balance is key to Wholeness. As women we need to develop our masculine powers and as men we need to keep this energy balanced and our heart connected.

​

In The Shiva Sequences you will work with 7 Hindu god archetypes, each representing a different aspect of the masculine. You already have all these qualities within you, however with some you feel more connected than with others. You might feel judgements or fear towards the ones you have not recognised yet within yourself.  Using these archetypes you can learn about your balanced masculine qualities, bringing contentment, compassion, courage and purpose into your life.
