Description
Understanding archetypes and chakras, this book argues, can help a person in their life’s journey. Archetypes are the collective qualities of a particular type of person. For example, Marilyn Monroe was the archetypal sex symbol of the 20th century, and Rambo the quintessential macho archetype. Archetypes have been used as a model for self-awareness for many years, and since the publication of Carl Jung’s “Archetypes of the Unconscious” people have gained insights into themselves by focusing on their archetypes. This book argues that creating healthy archetypes is fundamental for our healing. In her healing work, the author uses archetypes to describe states of energy, emotional awareness and behavioural patterns, and links our negative and positive archetypes to the chakras, or energy centres of the body. The book shows how to focus on these archetypes as part of the inner healing process and use the insights gained as a way of understanding motivations and behaviour. It then illustrates how an individual can transform their current archetypes and create a more confident, mature and empowered archetype for themselves.
