Hello and welcome to the Archetypes Soul Pathway Podcast Series here on Insight Timer,
Where we explore Jung's Archetypes as we connect with our spiritual journey and soul pathway and we raise our consciousness and awareness.
Within this recorded audio we are going to be exploring the archetype of the innocent and then I'm going to be providing you with a guided meditation at the end in order to embrace your inner innocence to awaken to the wise innocence within you.
Let me first of all share with you my Soul Pathway Oracle card here.
The archetype of the innocent begins in childhood when we perceive the world as beautiful and perfect.
As we grow we become marred by experiences in our lives which causes us to become pessimistic or even cynical.
This can become amplified during the awakening process when illusions are shattered and we come to terms with the divine matrix of the world in which we live.
If you are connecting with the archetype of the innocent it may be a time to return to innocence as you embrace the wholeness of life and the purity of your soul.
Alternatively it may be an invitation to begin questioning your circumstances in order to live more in alignment with who you truly are.
The innocent is the part of us that trusts life,
Ourselves and other people.
It is a part of us that has hope and faith even when on the surface everything may look bleak and impossible.
It is a part of us that keeps the faith in whatever we are hoping for.
When you embrace the first layer of consciousness you are very much connecting with your inner child where you may have unquestionable acceptance of the environment and authorities and may even believe that the world you are experiencing is all that there is.
But as you begin to awaken you may experience what is known as a fall from grace.
When you awaken to the disillusionment in the world around you or even within yourself but you retain that faith and goodness in adversities and that's when you shift that consciousness and awareness.
As you move to the third layer of consciousness you then step into what I regard as the wise innocence where you return to paradise and this time as that wise innocence within you with that trust and optimism without denial,
Naivety or even dependence.
And this is where you embrace the beauty of life and all that it brings as you connect with each and every moment and enjoy it for exactly what it is.
As with all of the archetypes it's essential for you to become aware of the shadow that may be lurking within you.
With regards to the shadow of the innocence this can come in the form of denying experiences that you may be aware of or even denial of aspects of yourself and suppressing and repressing them further within you.
It can also come in the form of blaming,
Conformity and also irrational optimism and taking risks.
So allow yourself to notice the innocence within you as you shift your consciousness and awareness and awaken from within.
Now let's begin a short guided meditation to connect with the innocence within you so that you can become mindful of how you express that in your life.
To begin this meditation I'd like you to take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
In through your nose and out through your mouth.
One more time.
In through your nose and out through your mouth.
And as you do so I want you to relax and become mindful of how you show up as the archetype of the innocent within your life.
Ask yourself if you are viewing situations in your life with this unquestionable acceptance of yourself and the environment.
Maybe it's a time for you to question in order for you to awaken from within.
Maybe there are aspects of yourself that you're awakening to and that you don't want to deny or suppress these aspects within.
Allow yourself to experience this fall from grace so that you can embrace that which resides within you so that you can accept the beauty of who you are and so that you can have faith within yourself and within the world around you.
Notice this level of understanding that you find within will help you to awaken to this beautiful,
Wise innocence where you can accept and appreciate the beauty of the world and all that life brings as you return to that place of paradise.
This is when you can connect with the wise innocence within you.
Where you have that trust,
That faith and optimism without that denial,
Naivety or even dependence on another.
Know that you can enjoy each and every experience for exactly what it is as you connect with that inner child of play and that innocence within you.
And to slowly arise from this meditation,
Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth and allow that wise innocence to be awakened from within you.
