When you start to shed the martyr archetype you will find that you become comfortable with the good things that come your way in life. The Empress knows how to enjoy life, and knows that she deserves to be happy and have nice things. You allow good things into your life. Pleasure, ease and well-being are enjoyed as you allow yourself to be sated by life’s enjoyments. Knowing when enough is enough is also part of this, as you listen to your body for the clues that say you are satisfied, and need no more. Knowing what satisfies you by listening to your body, will protect you from relying on the material things of this world for a substitute for love.
The Archetype is comfortable with its place in the world and
how their life unfolds. They have
abundance, because they draw it to themselves by letting go of the idea that it
is undeserved. This archetype is
comfortable in this world, but does not always have an active spiritual
life. “Its appetite is nourished by life
itself and it can have a passionate temperament as well as a jovial sense of
humor. It invites people to come close
and it is always welcoming, coaxing people to share in its bounty.”
This archetype always exudes the attitude that there is
plenty to go around, and that they will always be provided for. The home is where the heart is for this
archetype and they will enjoy making is look nice and sharing hospitality with
others. They enjoy food, drink and
pleasures of the body, but understand the limits for good health and
conscience. There is an air of serenity
about them and their surroundings that envelops those around them in the warmth
of love.
The archetype is drawn to things that make it feel good and
give pleasure; music, good food, beauty of the country and city, attractive
clothes and surroundings.
The Myth of the
Archetype
Although this archetype is happy, there is much more to be
developed within us. Many of us are
brought up to believe that what we have is the sum of who we are. If we have many worldly possessions, we are
considered worthwhile. On the other
hand, if we have nothing we are considered worthless. Let’s look at this objectively in terms of
this definition of worthwhile. If a
worthwhile person were to lose their job, and as a result their house, would
they be a different person? Let’s say a
destitute individual living in a shelter suddenly inherited a million dollars,
are they a different person? The answer,
of course, is a resounding No? So it is
very important to love yourself as you are, and not to measure yourself by the
strictly materialist society that we have become.
Once you can love yourself, and who you are right now, and
place your welfare in the hands of your higher spirit, you will find the
Empress/Emperor Archetype available to you.
You will find not only abundance, but spiritual rewards coming to you.
An Activity to
Increase Vitality
Move your body in a flowing manner; lift an arm in a
graceful upsweep. Feel the muscles of
your body as the arm moves up. Now lean
the body into the upsweep of the arm and feel the muscles respond to your
will. Feel the gracefulness of your
movement. Now follow that movement with
the graceful kick of the leg, and place the foot on the floor and follow with
your body. Sweep your other hand around
to the back in a smooth graceful motion, and follow this with your leg and
body. Feel those muscles respond to your
will, feel the gracefulness and pleasure of the movements. Continue with the random smooth movements for
a few minutes, all the while concentrating on the feel of the muscles movements
and the gracefulness, and beauty of the body that is capable of such a range of
motion. Feel the pleasure of the flow of
vitality that fills you as this activity continues. Do this as long as you are able.
Try doing this a few times in a week. Let me know how it feels.
Confirmations
This is a litany of Confirmations. These confirmations engage the eternal "I am that I am" in all of us. It allows you to manifest these things in your life. You may add any I AM statements that you wish, but avoid using statements such as "I will be" "I wish to be" or any other derivatives of these type of statements, as the are confirming that you are not yet whatever follows. You really are all these things, you have to be. You just can't see it as your minds eye is so tightly shut that you are blind. This is your eye opener. You are these things, you can't help but to be, as you are a chip of the creator and have that creative power. Whatever you believe and confirm about yourself is what you will create for yourself; the good, the bad and the ugly. You are the Architect of your world, so build wisely. You are all these things listed and more, it is true, you are that, Amen, so mote it be.
