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 orphan.
Then towards the end,
I'm going to be providing you with a guided meditation for you to connect with the orphan within you so that you can heal your wounds within and you can shift your consciousness and awareness.
So let me first of all share with you my soul pathway oracle card here.
The archetype of the orphan is the aspect of ourselves which has experienced the pain of neglect,
Abandonment or abuse.
When we are wounded by those who are unawakened,
Or tragedy causes us to experience loss at an early age.
Initially the orphan may feel victim to circumstances in their life and resort to manipulation and even resist taking ownership.
As we grow,
We begin to accept appropriate help and experience the safety of interdependent mutual support.
If you are connecting with the archetype of the orphan,
Acknowledge your shadow aspects and send love to your inner child who is seeking validation and acceptance.
Notice the opportunities to empower yourself though,
As you accept the assistance from others.
Orphans are often children who are deprived of parental protection and nurture while too young and skilled to take care of themselves.
Perhaps the parents die,
Literally abandoning the child,
Or remain on the scene but neglect,
Victimise or even abuse the child.
Each and every one of us however,
Will have aspects of the orphan within where we may have felt abandoned or neglected through certain experiences in our lives.
So it's essential for us to connect with our own inner orphan so that we can heal the wounds within and awaken to who we are.
Let's now explore the layers of consciousness of the orphan archetype as you awaken from within.
Within the first layer of consciousness,
It's essential for you to learn to understand the truth of one's plight and feel that pain of abandonment and victimisation.
Notice that powerlessness and loss of faith in people and institutions of authority.
Connect with that pain and wound within you and that's when you can begin to heal and raise your consciousness and awareness.
As you step into the second layer of consciousness here now,
By accepting the need for help,
Being willing to be rescued and aided by others,
Each and every one of us has to step away from our conditioning and ego and know that we are all good enough and worthy,
Though sometimes we have to accept the need for help in order to heal,
Grow and fully love and appreciate ourselves.
As we move into the third layer of consciousness,
However,
You begin replacing the dependence on authorities with that interdependence with others who can help each other and band together against authority.
This is where you build your tribe,
You connect with those on the same mission and purpose as yourself,
But you become interdependent within the relationships of your life and this is when you begin to raise your consciousness,
Awareness and frequency.
And it's also essential for you to notice some of those shadow aspects that may appear within the orphan.
These shadow aspects may show up as cynicism,
Callousness,
Masochism or sadism and using the victim role to manipulate environments or situations within your life.
So allow yourself to notice when you may be acting out of your shadow here.
Your call within the orphan is to embrace that abandonment,
Betrayal or even self-betrayal that disillusionment,
Discrimination and victimization and allow yourself to rise from within and heal that pain of neglect.
Now let me provide you with a short guided meditation to connect with the orphan within.
Start by taking a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
In through your nose and out through your mouth.
One final time,
In through your nose and out through your mouth.
Allow yourself to relax,
Let go and become present with this very moment.
As you honor the orphan within you.
Notice those feelings of pain,
Neglect,
Abandonment or even abuse within you for a moment.
Feel into those emotions and feelings.
And notice where they reside within your body.
Allow yourself to sit with these emotions and feelings as they emerge from within you.
Honor them for exactly what they are in this moment.
Allow them to float into your awareness and allow then for the emotions to pass.
It's essential though for you to accept them just as they are so that you can transmute and heal these wounds from within.
Now is a time for you to accept the need for help and allow yourself to be willing to be rescued and aided by others.
Place your faith in others in the knowing that they can assist you on your journey of healing and growing as you step into the beauty and wholeness of who you truly are.
Allow yourself to replace that dependency on authorities with that interdependence with others who can assist you on your path as you band together and assist one another on your journey of awakening.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth and allow yourself to come back to now.
