WHAT I KNOW. WHAT I DO WITH THIS KNOWING… —Apprenticeship to Love: Daily Meditation, Inspirations, and Practices for the Sacred Masculine, December 2 • Revelations. To know the subtle edges of her tenderness. Not to possess or to fathom their truth. Just to wonder.

I AM AFRAID/I AM NOT AFRAID—Apprenticeship to Love: Daily Meditation, Inspirations, and Practices for the Sacred Masculine, September 28 • The art of my life lies not in the illusory pursuit of balance, but in my dance with Her endless calling into imbalance, which art gives the illusion of purpose, meaning, balance. If you are a masculine-identified man engaging with feminine-identified women, best to learn this dance. Best to give up ever living in balance. She will not love you there. • For more of today’s #apprenticeshiptolove chapter, please find Sacred Bodies on Substack.

AS THE HUSBANDMAN, I CONSIDER & I ALLOW —Apprenticeship to Love: Daily Meditation, Inspirations, and Practices for the Sacred Masculine, September 2 •I am so much more than the defensiveness of my male culture. I am “he must be trusted,” as John Wineland says. But he who must be trusted is not a warrior; he is the husbandman who listens to Her silent song and knows where & how to create & hold the space She needs to sing even more deeply, sweetly, more mysteriously as the Siren inviting all warriors to die & be reborn as stewards of Her gifts, lovers to Her as our Beloved. … (for all of today’s #apprenticeshiptolove experience with the full chapter, including meditation, inspirations, and practice please email me at hans@sacredbodies.ca). ps.

I AM NOT A FASCIST—Apprenticeship to Love: Daily Meditation, Inspirations, and Practices for the Sacred Masculine, August 8 •Though the desire to have others and the world be less messy, more orderly, and more to my liking is strong. Suppression of my hurt and my anger leads to an intolerance of these feelings in others and a need to impose order, control in ourselves, and on the women, children, men, and the world around me. In other words, fascism. Learning to hold space for the “unruliness” and seeming chaos of my “feminine” helps me to become, as it were, the antidote to the fascist impulse. This takes courage. But most of all, it takes nervous system training.

ENJOYING THIS MOMENT I AM WEALTHY BEYOND IMAGINING—Apprenticeship to Love: Daily Meditation, Inspirations, and Practices for the Sacred Masculine, August 5 • Breathe. Receive. Breathe. Give. Allow this wealth of this life to circulate. Remember, that with every breath She brings me everything. And tenderly. Let this silence of breathing be full of unreasonable knowing, full of joy, full of this feeling of wealth: I have all that I need. I have more than enough, and I allow this wealth to flow freely through me, from me, around me… (for all of today’s chapter please email me at hans@sacredbodies.ca) ✨ ✨ ✨ #apprenticeshiptolove #morethanneeds #iamnotawarrior #pathofthesacredmasculine #husbandman #authenticrelationships #love #nervoussystem #devotion #surrender #choosevulnerability #wealth #truewealth #breathe https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg427LUOdKw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SHE IS MY SOURCE. WHY DO I RESIST?—Apprenticeship to Love: Daily Meditation, Inspirations, and Practices for the Sacred Masculine, August 4 •I am a child, always wanting more, in my tantrum of neediness not seeing, not feeling that everything I need is here. All I need to do is slow down, and start enjoying and digesting what this life gives me. She gives me everything. She is without limit. Inexhaustible. .… Let’s extend this metaphor: What is on my plate that I, like a petulant and willful toddler, refuse to enjoy? … (for all of today’s #apprenticeshiptolove please email me at hans@sacredbodies.ca) ✨ ✨ ✨ #shakti #tantra #iamnotawarrior #pathofthesacredmasculine #husbandman #authenticrelationships #love #nervoussystem #devotion #surrender #choosevulnerability https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg2JLhHuRuq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

HER GREATEST GIFT, MYSELF—Apprenticeship to Love: Daily Meditation, Inspirations, and Practices for the Sacred Masculine, August 3 The Tantras, or sacred tantric texts, make it clear that the purpose of the relationship is for the mutual enlightenment of both persons involved. It cannot be for the ego-gratification of one person. ... Another principle ... is that the woman always takes the initiative in the Tantras. Always.

THIS DIFFICULTY IS MY ANSWER—Apprenticeship to Love: Daily Meditation, Inspirations, and Practices for the Sacred Masculine, August 1 •I was reminded by a dear friend, as he expressed his impatience, that it is my own impatience that tells me I am nearest to that which I seek. My impatience then, is reason to be happy! So much for what I know about happiness. … (Want more of today’s #apprenticeshiptolove?

I AM NOT A WARRIOR—Apprenticeship to Love: Daily Meditation, Inspirations, and Practices for the Sacred Masculine, July 29 •Imagine my surprise, as it dawns on me: Almost everything I have learned as a man in this culture is wrong.

GRATEFUL FOR THIS SOLITUDE, THIS SILENCE—Apprenticeship to Love: Daily Meditation, Inspirations, and Practices for the Sacred Masculine, July 28 • I am learning how hard it is, to take nothing for granted, yet to know that everything is here to nourish me. How to live this edge, where the old habits of the warrior are still strong, and the new habits of the husbandman still taking root? I listen to my beloved. I relish this solitude and this silence. I trust her as my Oracle, the doula to this unknown being birthed. And I breathe, learning to enjoy every tender, frightened moment.
