Meet the Gentle Giant

Who is this mythical and mystical creature living inside each of us?

A Gentle Giant takes many shapes and often struggles to reveal himself fully. Before he courageously emerges, he tends to show only some facets of his true being, leaning either on the Gentle or the Giant side. He may feel a bit stuck in his life, at a crossroads perhaps, and is searching for guidance, self-awareness, and acceptance.

The Gentle man flows with creative, feminine energy. He is loved, has a number of friends, and easily adapts to situations and people. Still, he has difficulties focusing on the future, expressing his opinions, and making decisions. He’s not sure where he’s going, and feels lost in his work or relationships.

The Giant, on the other hand, has a clear purpose and vision. He is successful in his career, rife with strong masculine energy, yet is missing connection with others and his own Self. “I’ve been serving the corporation,” he says, “but how much am I serving myself? Surely there’s more to life than being a corporate athlete...”

Do you recognize yourself in one of these descriptions? Are you a Gentle Giant in hiding, yearning to stand fully in your power? For this, we need to create a marriage between these two polarities—a subtle balance between our masculine Giant and our Gentle feminine energy. 

A veritable Gentle Giant generally begins to appear in a man who is aware of both his masculine and feminine energies, and accepts and embraces these qualitiesm. He is strong, capable, and powerful, and boasts a big, open heart. A Gentle Giant is compassionate and connected to himself and others. He knows the point he wants to reach, and he strives to reach that point with others. He is a visionary and a co-creator. 

Let’s be Gentle Giants together and co-create a better world.
