In the last post we spoke about patterns of energy as habitual response to life and living. There are many ways that we can come at understanding ourselves, energy and our specific “growth opportunities”. The aura, energy and consciousness and the chakra system offer a structured focused means to heal and balance ourselves and also have more free choice as to how we experience our lives. Understanding energetic archetypes and how they may apply to our energy patterns can provide a window into more unconscious aspects of our nature.
Archetypal Energies
One approach that can help us to understand soul development, inborn qualities and their expression is by exploring archetypes. 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, so it 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.
As you investigate the descriptions of the archetypes, you will probably find it easy to recognize the ones that operate in your life. After all, this knowledge is already known to you deep inside!
For quick reference and as a way to begin becoming acquainted with this particular concept of energy patterns, see the descriptions below correlating the positive and negative expression of each archetypal energy as well as the chakra associated with that energy.
