Many spiritual men might think they’re doing just fine hanging out in their comfort zone of positivity, love, and light, but deep down, they know something’s missing. One ‘missing piece’ is your disowned dark side.
Yes, light and especially love are crucial, but a man on the path must learn to expand into the darker range of his emotional life.
Your darker side might be anger (not rage), a fierce edge, or your inner badass who just doesn’t give a f*ck. Think levels of ‘I’ll do me, no apologies.
Your darker aspects must be expressed, tempered with heart and awareness- not suggesting reactive-destructive anger.
If you’re a card-carrying nice guy and can’t access darker aspects like conscious anger or fierce energy, you’re cutting yourself off from essential emotions that fuel decisiveness and courage.
Without them, you’ll hesitate, second-guess yourself, or avoid tough decisions. Tapping into that fierceness allows you to take bold action and face challenges head-on—qualities that command respect and effective leadership.
These darker aspects are a fu***ng essential ingredient in developing true confidence.
Men with nice guy-pleaser habits, can you relate?
Ignoring your dark expression isn’t just holding you back; it’s making you less attractive. Women don’t want a ‘nice guy’ who has no edge—they want a man who can activate his full range of emotions.
Men w/ imbalanced darker emotional expressions ( reactive anger or hyper-masculine), most likely have shame about it which can cause them to repress them further
You might have been taught that anger is unacceptable. But your disowned darker emotions are always under the surface waiting to be accessed.
Embrace and liberate your darker emotions.
This is not an intellectual process but work based in the body.
