Archetypal Energy and Balance
Our subtle energy takes on particular patterns in response to life and living. Understanding these patterns through the chakra system offer a clear, structured and focused means to bring greater balance to ourselves and our lives. It is then that we have more free choice versus being run by unconscious drives. Understanding energetic archetypes and how they may apply to our energy patterns can provide a window into more unconscious aspects of our nature.
Archetypal Energy Patterns: Positive and Negative
Archetypes are patterns of energy that represent positive and negative human characteristics. Archetypes describe patterns that we manifest in our energy systems and in our lives, for good or ill.
Beyond being a symbolic language for specific energetic patterns that reflect the best and worst in human nature, archetypes can describe something of our individual soul nature. It is obvious that we all have different inclinations, aversions, assets and deficits.
Exploring archetypes can provide a deeper understanding of ourselves and our soul’s development and purpose. With this broader awareness we are freer and better able to choose a more positive natural expression of our energies.
Archetypal information resonates deeply with our psyche. Working with them can help us sidestep a lot of resistance to change, more easily embrace self acceptance and more gracefully shift from negative to positive expressions of energy.
