What is the divine masculine?
Before we even get into how to awaken the divine masculine, let’s talk about what it is. If you’ve heard of the divine feminine, that’s great, and it’s an important part of us.
But the divine masculine always seems to get pushed to the side. And it shouldn’t! It’s in all of us.

The concept of the divine masculine comes from different spiritual traditions, such as Greek mythology, Hinduism, and Christianity. It is derived from the masculine archetypes in these traditions, such as Zeus.
There are many masculine energy traits such as being brave, leading, protective, and grounded. When you think of the great leaders throughout history, you will see they have similar traits.
The divine masculine is strong in nature but doesn’t seek to overpower anyone or anything. Instead, the energy is all about stability, support, and strength. [Read: Masculinity vs. femininity – which side do you think is stronger?]
While feminine energy leans toward emotions, masculine energy complements it by being more logical.
These are not energies that compete with one another because they are complementary.

Why you need to awaken your divine masculine
There are a lot of reasons why awakening the divine masculine within you is beneficial. As long as you can understand that masculine and feminine energy are complementary and not opposites, you can use the masculine energy to your advantage. Here’s how:
1. You become more assertive
Masculine energy is naturally leading, so you will feel more confident about yourself. You aren’t unsure or hesitant anymore when it comes to making decisions or having power. [Read: 17 confident ways to be more assertive and speak your mind loud and clear]
You will take a lot more initiative in your life in all areas, including with group tasks. It also allows you to speak your mind and have the courage to say what you need to without any fear of rejection.
2. Setting boundaries gets easier
Because feminine energy is inherently nurturing and caring, it makes it difficult to say no to people and set boundaries with them. That’s why you need to awaken your divine masculine energy.
The masculine energy helps you control your emotions and allows you to be mentally clear with the use of logic. [Read: How to set boundaries in a relationship – 19 rules for healthy love]
That way, you can put yourself first. Not because of selfishness but rather because of self-love.
3. You become less sensitive
Feminine energy is very emotional, and along with that comes a lot of sensitivities that may not work in your favor. So, divine masculine energy allows you to process your feelings in a less sensitive way.
When you are arguing, you can be more objective with your decisions instead of letting your emotions control you. [Read: Why am I so sensitive? How to stop being sensitive and grow a thick skin]
Using logic more often in your life can make your life a lot easier because you keep your feelings in check.
Divine masculine qualities
Now that you know what the divine masculine is and why you need to awaken it within you, let’s talk about what kind of qualities are associated with it.
1. Assertiveness
Feminine energy is more nurturing, soft, and passive. But when you awaken your divine masculine energy, you become more assertive. [Read: 42 signs and ways to see manipulative behavior and stop being used by people]
Assertive does not mean aggressive. Aggression is negative, but assertiveness is not. A person who is assertive knows how to pursue what they really want by taking the right actions.
2. Determination
People with a lot of feminine energy are very oriented toward their emotions, introspection, and feelings. On the other hand, the divine masculine is more determined to achieve its goals.
Nothing will deter them from doing what they want to do. Because of this, they get a lot accomplished. [Read: 48 real secrets to change your life and find the right path when you’re lost]
3. Action-oriented
Since masculine energy is action-oriented, it gets things done. It doesn’t just sit by and let other people do the work.
People who harness their masculine energy take the steps to make their dreams come true. They also take action in pursuing relationships. The role of the “pursuer” is a traditionally masculine role.
4. Goal-oriented
Masculine energy isn’t content to just “be.” They need a destination that they are working toward. [Read: 30 secrets to start over a new life and leave your past for a new adventure]
That’s why it’s also goal-oriented. They always want to solve a problem *actively* rather than just listen *passively*.
5. Risk-taking
Back in the days of cavemen, the males were the hunters and the females were the gatherers. In order to hunt wild animals, males had to take a lot of risks.
Although most of us don’t hunt wild animals now, people with masculine energy take risks a lot easier. [Read: 15 risky places to have sex and get your adrenalin racing]
6. Protection
Cavemen didn’t just need to take risks to hunt their food and bring it back to their family to eat. They also needed to protect their family from wild animals too. So, masculine energy is also about protection.
7. Leadership
When a disaster strikes, people with masculine energy step up to the plate and lead other people to a particular destination. But it doesn’t just have to be about disasters. Leadership qualities are important, and other people look to others to lead them.
8. Strength
There are two kinds of strengths that someone with masculine energy has. First, physical strength is the obvious one. And second, emotional strength is the not-so-obvious one. Both are vitally important to existence. [Read: How to be an alpha male – unleash the irresistible inner you]
9. Logical
While emotions are nice, warm, and fuzzy, they can also throw you off balance and cloud your judgment. But masculine energy is logical and won’t let feelings overwhelm you and ruin your life.
10. Providing
Just like masculine energy is protective, it is also providing. Whether it’s the cavemen who provide food for their families or modern-day men who still bring home the money to support their loved ones. They provide for others.
11. Courageous
Because masculine-energy people are risk-takers, in order to do that, you also need to be courageous.
It’s scary to run into a burning building to save your loved ones *or someone else* and that requires a tremendous amount of courage. [Read: How to start fresh and move on from the toxicity – for good]
How to awaken the divine masculine
The divine masculine empowers us to do better, making us the best person we can be. When you’re feeling distracted and living in fear of achieving your dreams, it is suppressed and unawakened.
Yes, the divine feminine teaches us about love and healing. But the divine masculine is what pushes us.
If you’ve been feeling unmotivated and separated from yourself, it could be that the divine masculine inside of you needs a little wake-up call. [Read: The omega male and 15 traits that make him better than the alpha male]
When your body isn’t in balance, you feel it. So, let’s get it back in motion. It’s time to set the alarm to awaken the divine masculine inside of you.
1. Understand you need both
This isn’t about awakening just your divine masculine. If you want to get the best of both worlds, you’re going to need to balance them. This isn’t about one dominating the other.

Once you understand you need both, then you can have more emotional balance and mental clarity.
2. Take responsibility
At the end of the day, the only person who’s going to take care of you is yourself. Even if you have a partner or parents around, you control the choices you make. Thus, you need to own your actions.
The first step is taking responsibility for your happiness. You’re not someone who needs to be rescued. [Read: 15 ways to grow up and start behaving like an adult]
To awaken the divine masculine, you’ll need to decide if you want to own your feelings.

You’ll need to look at the wounds surrounding your interactions with men. That way, you’ll be able to understand the biases you have towards them. [Read: What is masculinity? 46 manly and toxic traits women love and despise in men]

5. Undo what was done
Listen, we’ve been told what it means “to be a man”. But at the end of the day, it’s not right. Men can cry, they don’t need to have a successful career or have a six-pack. That isn’t what being a man means.
It’s important to take a look at what society says a man should be and then ask yourself if it’s true. Focus on finding men in your life who embody the divine masculine rather than these stereotypes.
6. Say hi to your inner warrior
We all have an inner warrior inside of us. Now, this doesn’t mean a literal warrior who kills and dominates others. This isn’t what we’re talking about. [Read: How to say no – 15 ways to reason politely, stop pleasing, and feel kickass]

If you want to awaken your divine masculine, then you’ll need to connect with your inner father. Your inner father is kind and tolerant. But can your inner father be better?
9. Stand up for what you want
No, you don’t need to be angry or aggressive, this isn’t what standing up for yourself means. But you need to show others and yourself that you respect yourself. [Read: How to stand up for yourself – get what you want and deserve]
You can be an introvert or an extrovert. It doesn’t matter, both types of people struggle with being assertive. Focus on your needs and ask yourself if they’re being met.

If you want to support your divine masculine, you’ll need to believe in yourself. You can start with your body language. Try this: hunch your body over and cross your arms. How does it feel? Not good, right?
Now, try this: stand up straight, shoulders back and your arms to your sides. Do you feel the difference? [Read: Powerful changes in confidence you can make to change your life for the better]
Sure, it feels a little awkward at first, but you’ll automatically look more secure and confident in yourself.

You’re going to have to stop being passive. Even though you think you’re not, if you haven’t awakened your divine masculine, then you are passive.

7. You’re feeling especially confident
People who have low self-esteem do not love themselves. Because of that, they tend to hurt people, and even themselves.

8. You’re ready to take the lead
You no longer feel comfortable being the follower all the time. When you awaken your divine masculine energy, you actually want to become the leader more often than not. [Read: Tried and tested ways to become a better leader at work]
