We explore the masculine archetypes and alpha male energy.
Listen to Real Men Feel, #186, “Men Fully Owning Their Power” here:
Artist and coach, Maeve Swan, joins us to discuss how men can own and best use their masculine energy to unleash the kings they were born to be.
“A man who is King has found his perfect balance and harmony between the three archetypes: Warrior, Lover, and Magician.” ~ Maeve Swan
Maeve shares the transformational power of art and all the synchronicities that lined up to have her focus on coaching men. We explore the masculine archetypes and what creates the King energy for any man. She also touches on the Siren and Muse archetypes for women. Plus, the importance of sexual mastery for being a king and how problems with a man’s mission and power can point to issues with sexuality.
We take a deep dive into the notion of the Alpha Male, exploring our experiences with that term and energy. Maeve discloses what she sees as the Alpha Male Paradox and her desire to bring out the true Alpha Male archetype more because every man can benefit from it. She believes it is vital to clear away the negative cultural perceptions of Alpha Male energy and let the pure essence be used in more unique and varied ways. Finally, we look at ways men leak their power and energy.
