How to harness healed divine masculine energy in business
You only have to look on social media to see the word “feminine energy” being consistently emphasised by coaches who do business energetic work. What we are lacking in this process of building a thriving business is the work of the masculine energy.
When we think masculine, we often associate it with “hustle”. This might be true for those who have a wounded masculine energy and work day in day out to get their business off the ground.
We will explore in this article how to harness a healed divine masculine energy in business to help you balance with feminine flow to create harmony in the development of your business.
What is masculine energy?
Masculine energy is not just a persona or personality traits taken on by men. Both male and female have masculine (and feminine) energy. The qualities of masculine energy looks like:
Doing
Logic
Reasoning
Focus
Certain
Confidence
We all have the ability to take on these types of actions within our life and business. In business, masculine energy could look a little something like this (just to name a few):
Planning offerings
Asking for a sale
Discovery calls
Building strategy
Creating content
This can also look like the birthing of your business/offerings, the mothering. A lot of the time we see being a mother as feminine, but it is in fact, divine masculine energy.
While burnout can happen from the masculine energy, it is only when the energy is wounded.
What is wounded masculine energy?
A wounded and unbalanced divine masculine energy may look like:
Fear and anger
Low value in one's own life
Anger
Bragging
Taking foolish risks
Doubt and indecision
Inattentiveness
For example, maybe you have a challenging moment with a freelancer in your team. You might be quick to let them go in your team or become frustrated with them for what they have done.
This is what it looks like to be a wounded divine masculine. Or you see something on social media you don’t agree with, so you create a piece of content that is very attacking rather than educational.
What is healed masculine energy?
A healed and balanced masculine energy may look like:
Sense of power
Taking charge of one's own life
Accomplishment
Self-confidence
Sense of dignity and strength
Decisiveness and healthy risk taking
Reasoning
Let’s take the example from above. You have a challenging moment with a freelancer in your team. You sit them down (over Zoom or in person) and you set clear expectations and boundaries. You use respect and assertiveness to explain to them what you aren’t happy with and give them a chance to redeem themselves.
Or you see that piece of content on social media. So you think about how you can educate people on this topic. You use the logical mind to put together a blog or a podcast explaining the education around this subject. You don’t target anyone, you just educate.
How can I have a healed divine masculine energy?
Here are a few exercises you can do to help you heal your (maybe wounded) divine masculine energy, or to bring more balance.
Look at the words above. Start bringing your awareness. See where you are most wounded and ask yourself why and what behaviours you have done to make you feel that.
Then using a healed divine masculine energy to set clear boundaries. be firm and assertive but from the healed energy. From a space of respect, as a leader, a warrior and from your confident self. The action taken. Start with clear boundaries with clients, family, team members, everywhere you see you are most wounded.
Next, take ownership. Don’t blame, but keep people accountable. Be present when challenging moments arise and use your divine masculine energy to be assertive and confident. Back yourself.
Lastly, Nourish the mind with new ideas and concepts and a chance to grow. Grow and learn new things. Set goals with structure. Set clear actions. Take calculated risks by using logic.
Try using these actions in your business and see how it helps you grow.
Final thoughts
We speak a lot about divine masculine as a “bad thing”, as we become tired of the patriarchy and men “ruling the world”. Often masculine energy gets a bad name because we think it is about male energy. It is not. It is in all of us. We all have divine masculine and feminine energy.
Don’t just focus on feminine and flow in business. Use your logic and strategic mind to grow and expand. Then use the feminine energy to help ground yourself.
Work on healing your divine masculine energy and use it, in harmony, to thrive in business.
