Introversion can also play a role in go it alone energy too. And our menstrual cycles. I really need a cave just before I bleed. Since I don't have one, it might mean I take on doing housework or something alone, not because I'm in martyr energy but because it means I get modern day cave time. I guess the trick is becoming intentional with the shadow energy. Remaining in the driving seat. I'll probably be thinking about this and joining different dots today 😆 thanks for sharing your insights ✨️
I really hear you on that introversion piece, Louise (and all your other great thoughts!). It's always hard for me to parse out how much of this is me needing some alone time. But I'm really noticing in the past few years the places/times/situations where I need community or support and there's a different energy there I can notice. Always grateful for your reflections and shares! 😍
Yes Laura, we're so far away from the villages we know we need, it requires living so many contradictions atm. Perimenopause also playing a role. I forgot to take my keys out of the ignition at the grocery shop the other day 🤣 my brain isn't wired for remembering things like that right now. We'd have more time to rest in the village xxx
My opiod receptors have a blast with all 3 archetypes. An addiction that is not tied to a substance. All tangled up in the things we innately need as human beings and for some the addiction us tangledup in their actual life's purpose. I believe the wounded healer requires periods of deep solitude as part of their rehab. Obviously this isn't always feasible. I've started to really notice when I'm in the “Let me rescue you” energy. My spleen lights up, getting ready for a wee rescue party 🥳 🤣🤣

oof, well-said, Louise! Thank goodness for the virtual village, at least. Glad to “rest” here together from time to time! xo

Resonating with the shadow side reflected in all of these archetypes.
So much I wanted to say about that in this piece, too, and it just got too long 😂! Maybe more next time.
Love this. true and comforting. I love the Amazon woman too.
Thanks, Rachel! She's pretty epic for sure (and one of the many reasons you and I connect 😂)!
😁💞
