I see more and more men doing “the work”, going into their shadows, looking actively and compassionately at their trauma.
They are coming to terms with their suppressed emotions, without losing their masculine edge, their leadership, the connection to their King energy.
They’re stepping up, leaning in, diving deep, and surfacing with new-found energy and embodied power.
It’s glorious to witness.
I also see more and more women applauding that, being (their) man’s biggest cheerleaders, and expressing how grateful they are about him finally catching up.
I see their posts, their beautiful appraisals, their happiness and sighs of relief that they finally can lean back into their feminine.
So far so good.
Make no mistake, though, that “doing the work” and healing often goes in waves and takes turns.
Not always, though. But often.
Women challenged men to grow because of all the work they did. And men chose to take this challenge and are catching up.
And now, as men rise from their dark night or even dark years of the soul, their new brightness will shine a light on the shadows that women have avoided, denied, bypassed, deflected and ran from and this will be the next level of growth, if they choose to take the challenge and catch up.
Women call for men to grow, and then men demand from women to grow again…
It’s the process of co-creation, the universal law of cyclic evolution.
The ultimate expression of teamwork.
We only have to honor each other’s cycles and paces, be patient, and trust in each other’s abilities.
That’s how we expand, individually and as a collective.
