Here are basic practices that can begin to shift that internal disposition. This is by no means a dummy’s guide. It is neither comprehensive nor exhaustive nor prescriptive. Enlightenment, or transformation, is a happy accident in some ways. Still practices such as these make us accident prone.

The Feminine has been told she is too much. And honestly She probably is. Because the inverse of this statement is that the Masculine has not been enough. Men, we must discover the Sacred Masculine in ourselves.
