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 Archetypal Warrior and towards the end,
I'm going to be providing you with a short guided meditation to assist you with awakening your inner warrior as you connect with the courage and strength within you.
Let me first of all share with you my Soul Pathway Oracle Card here.
The warrior archetype embodies the energy of the masculine that is within all of us regardless of our gender.
It calls us to have courage,
Strength and integrity as we live by the values of our soul.
The earlier warrior operates from the shadow of conditioning and is often reckless,
Aggressive and excessively guarded.
As we evolve though,
The awakened warrior engages in altruistic battles of service and protection.
If you are embracing the energy of the warrior,
It is an invitation to utilize your power wisely.
Fight for a cause that you believe in or serve others in need.
Alternatively,
It may be a time to take off your suit of armor as you allow your emotions to flow from within you.
When most of us think of the hero,
We imagine the warrior.
The warrior is often called upon to face and slay many dragons and usually have very high ideals.
The warrior within us all though,
Calls us to have courage,
Strength and integrity.
They live by and fight for their own principles or values,
Even when doing so is economically and socially costly.
Within the first layer of consciousness,
The warrior is often driven by their own conditioning and ego,
Where they fight for themselves or others to prevail or win where anything goes.
You could say this is where the warrior embodies that unhealthy masculine energy.
But as they shift in consciousness and awareness,
They step into a much more principled fight for themselves or others,
But this time abiding by the rules of a fair fight or competition with that altruistic intent.
So as you connect with the energy of the warrior,
It's essential for you to embody that passion and purpose within as you gain the courage and strength to fight for what you believe from that place of passion and purpose as you live with greater meaning in your life.
Finally,
We transition into the third layer of consciousness here,
Where you embody the energy of forthright assertiveness,
Fighting for competition for what really matters.
And this is not simply about personal gain,
For there is little or no need for violence.
And the focus becomes the win-win solutions,
Where conflict and honesty are aired,
And there is an increase in communication.
And this is all about serving the collective consciousness and greater community.
As with all of the archetypes though,
There are shadow aspects.
So let's begin exploring them here.
The shadow aspects of the warrior is where they can become ruthless,
Unprincipled,
And have this obsessive need to win and use their power for conquest.
And often they can view all differences as a threat,
Which can be expressed outwardly as a form of confrontation.
But your call as a warrior is to confront that great challenge or obstacle within you,
As you gain that strength and courage to live and be who you truly are.
Now let me provide you with a short guided meditation to assist you with connecting to the archetypal warrior as you awaken the courage and strength within you.
Begin by taking 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.
Allow yourself to relax and let go in this moment.
Imagine you are the hero or heroine of your own life,
The architect of your own story.
And as you connect with that,
Notice your inner warrior rising from within you,
That courage and strength to live with purpose,
Passion,
And meaning.
As you connect with the first layer of consciousness,
Notice your conditioning and ego.
Notice all the conditions that have shaped the way you live your life.
As they float into your awareness,
Allow them to drift away,
Almost as if those old conditions and patterns are no longer serving you.
So that you can step into your role as the warrior now,
Where you can fight that principled fight,
Where you serve both yourself and others,
Abiding by the fair rule and game,
But noticing that you have a mission and purpose in this world.
And as you connect with your inner warrior,
It's being awakened within you.
As you notice that being awoken,
Connect with that forthrighted energy.
As you fight for what is right,
You fight for that meaning and purpose to make a difference for yourself and others,
So that you can help shift and raise the collective consciousness of those around you.
Notice that courage and strength that emerges from within you as you connect with your divine mission so that you can be of service to those in need.
Allow yourself to drop your suit of armour as you embrace your emotions and feelings.
Knowing that your courage and strength comes from your vulnerability,
Allow your emotions to shine through as you awaken your heart warrior.
To finish this guided meditation,
Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth and allow yourself to come back to now.
