Here is a little bit about the theory and reality of finding an `integrated masculinity`.  In my life, I`ve been through a series of rites of passage into manhood.  To begin with, these have happened accidentally but as I realised how important they are I began to find new ways of reinforcing the foundations of I have built my life on.  It might sound a tad pretencious, but I now know a lot more about life and `manliness`.  This is an integrated approach to living life in the physical, emotional and spiritual planes.

• I have made a break from the cycle of hope and then disappontment in love.  In the Modern World, `Love` has become so complicated. Men have become full of fear about relationships and love. Imagine travelling to a world where all the complicated rules are replaced by one single tenet - A warrior living a life of passion and integrity will attract and resonate with the Goddess of his vision.  This might be about re-igniting a relationship or finding a new one.

• I felt ineffective in Leadership roles. Now I`ve increased my workplace performance without it taking more from my time than I intend, I have allowed my career to take off in a completely new direction and my health has improved without medication-  crack this and success is inevitable.

• People in the team reflect the greater love and respect I have for them and business has improved.

• I no longer have barriers between home and work.   Break down barriers between work and home, don`t live a  compartmentalized life, because this takes a lot of energy to maintain.
