Change brings more Change

I’m in a state of change and not sure why or how it happened. 

So many times I thought my life was my blank canvas and I was the artist who painted my own life. But now this seems to be an untruth of huge magnitude, a realisation that reveals a river of pain, an unwanted dilemma that hinders and slows me down. 

My life is my life, yes, but it’s master is my Soul not my personality, and every now and then my Soul shuts me up and sits me down and gives me something to really wonder and contemplate. Not just ponder, but rather I enter a deep and somewhat foreboding inquiry into the files of my Soul that have never been opened. 

And because they have never been opened they come as an inconvenient surprise, like a visitor from my past who wants to stay for a while, but Im not sure if they should because they seem more like a stranger than an old friend. 

And then I decide to open them and I am reminded that the unwanted file, visitor, the stranger is ME. 

It is a new version of me that has been waiting and wanting a new chapter in my life.

But like all new chapters they have new experiences and new characters. I must get aquatinted with this new character as it reveals the true nature and purpose in this new episode in the story. I have to be patient and interested in what my new version of self has to offer. 

I have come to the conclusion I am forever growing into who I am meant to be. – And it has nothing to do with my ambitions.

My Soul reveals to me I am like a favourite recipe that can be tweaked to perfection. A recipe that grows with me and hones the essence of my offering. 

And I am reminded I only have one path of my spiritual mastery, but it’s landscape is changeable and transforming. However, one thing never changes, one must do the inner spiritual work to survive.

Listening to the silence I hear my Soul whisper to me…

Be a new version of
STRENGTH  
Be a new version of 
BEAUTY 
Be a new version of
LOVING 
Be a new version of
DIVINITY 

And I discover Emergence can be a powerful and exciting experience. 

And so it is

Shadow Side Of Female Archetypes

The Living Attributes Typology© guides you toward the true and powerful nature of Your Living Goddess… is it tough?

Yes it can be… sometimes it’s a little and sometimes a lot!
We often have to shift outmoded patterns (pain) from our mind and our body at these times of rapid revelation. But it’s in our ability to stay fully present to our own evolutionary shifts that aids our own empowerment and in turn contributes to the collective consciousness of women. 

I know veiling or denial of any part of my true nature; my own archetypes, has not been healthy or effective. And this is because I require, as my birthright, to own all of me. I need to own my Light as well as my Shadow. I am Benevolent and Destructive (Queen), I am Blissful and Unworthy (Divine Child), I am Prophetic and Misunderstood (Visionary) and I am Restoration and Exclusion (Alchemist). For me the compilation of these Light and Shadow qualities make up my true nature.

As conscious women, when we are able to stay present to our call, we are actually aiding in the correcting and transforming of the Feminine Shadow that has been entangling the threads of our social fabric for centuries.
Together we can weave a new, stronger, vibrant and respectful social fabric, where we are all equal and acknowledged for our contributions.
The Living Attributes Typology is a tool that helps women re-create a new social fabric that supports women as they grow in their desire to SUCCEED. 

But first we have to acknowledge the nature of the shadow that dwells within each of us.

Here are three archetypes in the physical realm – they each have a shadow side and an authentic true quest.

The Shadow Queen uses her bossy, sometimes ruthless behavior to get want she wants… She may become destructive to gain power, which she then hides behind, in order to not commit to the responsible and strengthening nature of her leadership that demonstrates her authentic quest, which is… Benevolent. Meaning – (generosity of spirit)                                                                                   00016D_3

The Shadow Hero fixes her opinions of others to maintain her position and status… She may become egotistical, which she then hides behind, in order to not commit to the passionate and transforming nature of her leadership that demonstrates her authentic quest, which is… Altruistic. Meaning – (unselfish concern for the welfare of others; selflessness.)                                                                        0002ld

The Shadow Healer applies her compulsion for rescuing others to control her world around her… This can turn her into the victim, in turn making her the helpless one, which she then hides behind, in order to not commit to the devoted and radiant nature of her leadership that demonstrates her authentic quest, which is… Resurrection. (The state of one who has returned to life.)

We often find it hard to own all sides to our nature; Light and Shadow, but it is through the accepting of our shadow in conjunction with our light that we get to see how it is the driving force toward our True Quest.

It’s all there for a reason… and when we begin to understand our human evolution, when we can face our fears, our judgments and our overwhelm, we start to see and develop an inner knowing, which repeatedly becomes our compass that directs us back home every time.

 

Prayer to the Ancestors

Prayer to the Ancestors

I ask those who came before me.

The one’s who gave of their love,

their talents and their knowledge.

Today I send you my love and deep gratitude

May you always dwell in peace and glory,

And your spirit light the way of hope, forever more.

Today I ask you, my beloved Ancestors to be present in my heart.

To be there when I bring forth my gifts, that you gave me.

Such valuable and precious gifts they are,

A continuum of love and understanding,

 that has been passed on from generation to generation.

I give thanks to you for your kindness, your wisdom

 and strength that now lives on in me.

My connection to you brings me comfort.

And even though I may not know you now,

we are family, and our connection will never die.

I thank you my beloved Ancestors,

 it is because of you that I am alive.

And so it is
