Boulder Spiritual Counseling, Masculine Energy

Growing up a male in this world is ever more complicated as gender roles shift and turn. Often men begin to feel penalized for their masculine energy. Testosterone is named as the culprit for many of society’s ills from violence to domination and repression of women.
To be fair, that is partially earned. For thousands of years men dominated the spiritual realm in organized religion, using and abusing spiritual authority. This goes on today in many cultures. Masculine spiritual energy represses and oppresses the feminine. However, there are many, many men who are the “good guys” who don’t know how to navigate what it means to be a man in today’s contemporary culture, let alone how to be a spiritual male.

Back in the 1970s when I started my own spiritual journey it was an era of free love and the age of Aquarius. Men were allowed to express and explore their feminine energy. For many this resulted in the repression of their masculine energy. In fact, our culture has participated widely in the repression of masculine spiritual energy as the Divine Feminine has risen.

While both men and women have both masculine and feminine spiritual energies, it is unhealthy and sometimes dangerous for men to repress their masculine energy. For some, when repressed long enough, it tends to burst forth like an erupting volcano if contained for too long.

Along my path I’ve experienced many incarnations of what it means to be a spiritual man. As a Boulder spiritual counselor I’m interested in helping men tap into a healthy form of their own masculine spiritual energy.
