Despite your gender identity, you contain a mix of both divine masculine and feminine energies. These energies each have their own unique characteristics that help us reach our divine potential. 

Our internal divine masculine energy is what helps us make decisive choices and take action, but not aggressive action despite what we may think. Instead, this energy helps us to take faith-based action that is rooted in love, giving, and creativity. 

As a modern woman, harnessing our internal divine masculine energy in combination with our divine feminine energy, opens our life to so much depth. It helps us to live a life beyond our wildest imagination and to actually enjoy it. 

The Divine Masculine

The Divine Masculine is a spiritual, psychological and archetypal construct of masculinity. While most people think of the Divine Masculine as being a man, the truth is all beings have characteristics of the divine masculine, to include logic, creativity, drive, rationality, and leadership. We express our divine masculine nature through our thoughts, actions and internal beliefs. Depending on how often and how much we use our masculine energy, will determine if we are more balanced or imbalanced. For instance, do you hustle to the point of burn out even though your body is telling you to take it easy? Do you find yourself being driven by your ego? 

A woman who has blended a healthy dose of the divine masculine energy will be strong in her boundaries, yet gentle. She is able to enjoy the adventures of life without being reckless. She is a leader who follows her truth and the guidance of the divine feminine. She knows she is protected and safe within herself and as such, she can show up in her life from a place of rooted power.  

The Divine Masculine is the force that gives to and protects the divine feminine. As it manifests through the divine feminine, thought and inspiration come into existence. As women who desire to lead more from our feminine energy, it is important we do not discount the power of the divine masculine within us nor over rely on it.

How to Honor the Masculine Energy Within

We honor the divine masculine by identifying its traits and how it shows up in our lives. As a woman, one of the greatest ways to do this is by charting our cycles. If you are irregular, perimenopausal, or in menopause you can use the moon cycle. Typically, women are more in their masculine nature in the first half of their cycle. The energy is increasing and drive is high. We feel more called to action as we move towards our goals. Honor this time by allowing your energy to move and expand. Take advantage of this time period and don’t waste the gift of the divine masculine within. If we want to honor something, we accept it for what it is. We do not force it into a box. If you have lived predominantly in an overly-masculine state, honor what it has done for you and accept how it may have had its consequences. Then, seek to bring more balance into your life by integrating the divine feminine. 

Typically, women are more in their divine feminine in the second half of their cycle. During that time, allow the masculine to give way to the feminine and bask in her being. I do not believe that we are ever perfectly balanced. However, we can cultivate awareness to our cyclical nature and bring more of what we need into that moment.

We can also think of the divine masculine energy as being our consciousness. The subconscious is the realm of the divine feminine. 

Here are (blank) tangible ways to honor your inner masculine energy:

• Own your actions: Take responsibility for your actions and happiness. By respecting yourself you reclaim the warrior within and look after yourself.
• Redefine what masculinity means to you: While there are typical characteristics of the masculine energy, I invite you to look within and define how you see the masculine. If you hold any preconceived societal notions around masculinity and they are toxic, decondition these beliefs. By doing so, you also heal your relationship with the divine masculine internally and externally.
• Develop assertiveness: Now, when I say assertiveness, I do not mean the angry, confrontational, ego-driven assertiveness. I am talking about defining your needs and realizing they are important and establishing healthy boundaries. 
• Feed your inner fire: A key trait of the divine masculine is internal drive and action. If we do not know where we are going in life or what we want then we will for sure never get there. Start setting aligned goals and taking aligned action towards your dreams. Be your own biggest fan. Be a giver to yourself and others. Let the passion within fuel your masculine energy and compel it to take action.

As you can see, the divine masculine energy plays an important role in recognizing our purpose and bringing our dream life to pass. We want to honor the divine masculine within us which allows us to honor the external divine masculine.
