#choosevulnerability

VULNERABILITY At the heart of the work I do is the practice to be more powerfully yourself by becoming more vulnerable with yourself. No longer afraid to feel. No longer overwhelmed by others’ feelings or seeming “irrationality.” Curious? Ready to be less anxious, less reactive to what the world (or your own body-mind) brings you? #choosevulnerability #menswork https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdd1z5MpYMh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

NEW! GUIDED VULNERABILITY PRACTICE Without a stable heart-centred beginning our best practices, including polarity practiced, yoga, communication, touch, etc are likely to be experienced as manipulations by those we love. A personal vulnerability practice is a powerful way to connect with your heart's truth, a powerful way to ground your masculine practice in your deep, sacred presence. Start with a 45-minute introductory session to build your personal vulnerability practice. Stay true to your heart with regular 15-minute refresher sessions.

FROM YOUR THE HEART OF YOUR VULNERABILITY—Apprenticeship to Love: Daily Meditation & Practice for the Sacred Masculine, April 27 ... more at apprenticeshiptolove.com TODAY'S INSPIRATIONS 🌀...Life's an adventure into the unfamiliar...if you want to grow, your priority cannot be to feel safe. (Guru Singh and Guruperkarma Kaur, Wholeness Sensations) 🌀As a prerequisite to any polarity practice, practice love first. Full Body Love, so steeped to the bone, so brimming and full, that the only way to hold more is to let it flow into the body of another. Polarity without love looks a lot like manipulation. If you want to master the energetics of the universe to get what you want, to be rich juicv successful powerful well-fucked, I'll send referrals. But if vou want to unclench and expose and dig deep and taste truth through the alignment of your heart with the heart of Love….. If you want to know trust and devotion through flesh into god into life into all into the core of who vou are... If you want to shed romanticized ideals of how another will complete you, and instead offer our completeness to the completion of another... Welcome.

CHOOSE VULNERABILITY Too often as men we choose our own comfort and safety over our deeper, sacred purpose - to hold space for the blossoming of our worlds. That blossoming may be your business or career growth. It may be your experience as a lover, a husband. As a father or uncle or son. It may simply be your experience of the profound beauty of this life. No matter, it is only in fully opening into our deepest vulnerability, standing strong and still and stable with our hearts and bellies and throats wide open, that we will receive all the gifts, all the magic and nourishment this life has to offer. Choose vulnerability. Choose to open fully and with confident presence to all the feminine energies within and around you. Enjoy the turbulence, the calm, the unpredictable beauty and the beautiful unpredictability She brings to you. #menswork #choosevulnerability (at Sacredbodies.ca) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPOTOhItoc4/?utm_medium=tumblr

TO FULLY EMBODY LEADERSHIP IS TO SURRENDER TO THE NEVER-ENDING TESTING "The Conscious Warrior  is always deepening, always a student — seeking other men and teachers who will slay his ego and sharpen him." — Precept 9, John Wineland, from The Precepts of the Conscious Warrior: The Path of the Embodied Masculine The Path of the Embodied Masculine is a six-month training with John Wineland. If you're unfamiliar with his work the many short videos at johnwineland.com are a great place to start. Much of how I approach this "sexual yoga" is indebted to Wineland and his teacher, David Deida. Over the next six months I will be sharing what I learn with you here on social media. Deeper explorations will take place during classes, trainings, and coaching. The Precepts ("a general rule to guide behaviour or thought") are a good place to start. Watch for a #MENSWORK live podcast on this topic soon. — Hans Peter Meyer sacredbodies.ca / menswork.ca ps.

DIVORCE It’s true. Marriage is, as one excellent book on the subject puts it, a crucible. It is an intense testing of our masculine capacity to bring our full, deep, calm presence to a situation that often seems only to demand more, and more. And more of us. For too many of us, marriage is only the prelude to a much harsher crucible: divorce. It is the rare man who suffers the trials of divorce without falling apart. This is not "bad." If we are in that particular hell, we probably need to fall apart — that we may put ourselves back together stronger, deeper, truer to our sacred masculine purpose: to be still and deep as we hold safe space for the flow of the feminine in our lives. But divorce isn't inevitable. Men! Pay attention. If you do not want to suffer this hell, and it is a hell that WILL burn you emotionally, financially, spiritually, do your work in marriage. Or before marriage. Ask for help. Follow men like @mens_communication_coach, @blackbelthusbands, @john_wineland, @daviddeida.live, @the.essential.man, and others. Find a path. Commit to a practice. Become a man who doesn't need the test of divorce to be who he truly is. Thanks to @blackbelthusbands for inspiring me to think on divorce as a testing of our masculine capacities.
