“Men need to learn how to be in touch with their feelings, but not ruled by them.”

– Dr. John Gray, Author of Men are from Mars Women are from Venus

Holding Ourselves to a Higher Standard

As parents, business leaders and soul seekers we feel called to a purpose and therefore we must learn to recognize the importance of standing in full integrity in all that we do. Curiosity is a conduit for moving forward, but ultimate results involves learning to make choices for how we show up, honor ourselves and create stories that validate the essence of our most authentic selves. In other words, our ability to achieve our highest potential means choosing to have an unfiltered connection to our minds and higher level of consciousness.

Consciousness is no longer just for Women

Being able to experience a deeper bond of mindfulness is now being explored by both genders, however, the way the experience is translated takes on different properties depending on the identifiable gender.

Both men AND women desire a deeper level of intuition and therefore can benefit from spiritual enlightenment. Beginning with the simple choice and decision to commit to a sacred space of intimacy through reflective prayer or meditation can often lead to a more conscious path.

Get Humble Enough… to Listen.

In previous decades male and female roles were very defined, with women in the kitchen and dealing with childcare, and men working and not expressing their feelings. These roles have now changed. For men to become great leaders, as well as husbands and fathers they need to develop the capacity to LISTEN.
