Spring Equinox – Time for Archetypal Renewal

Happy Spring Equinox!
This post will guide you via simple steps what you can do at home to prepare the soil of your inner archetypal landscape for renewal and growth by shedding the old patterns that longer serve you and your soul. I invite you to walk the path of  conscious co-creation of your life's path with me. Welcome to a sacred space.

Alignment With the Natural Rhythms of Life
​

Spring Equinox is a good time for shedding the old patterns and welcoming the new energies, the new ‘seeds’ of growth to be planted into the fertile soil of your inner landscape. This puts us in alignment with the planet Earth, her rhythms, her cycles and enables our body and soul to align with her natural rhythms and the rhythms of cosmos.​

Shedding the Old Archetypes

​A good way to re-evaluate and shed the old the old patterns is through the Archetypal Journey. Archetypes are subtle ideas that are shaped into patterns of being and behaviour. They exist on the collective and individual level, like cycles within cycles, ever expanding, ever contracting. They belong to the realm of the Soul and exist in our Soul Matrix layers corresponding to Green, Blue and Indigo spectrum. Each one of us would have a set of archetypes that we express through life. They become set early in life and are strongly imprinted by the parental and societal influences. The archetypes embody the energies that direct and guide our life, choices, behaviours. They could be compared with  ‘software programmes’ that are inserted into a hard drive – you, and run according to their original blueprint or creational idea.

Primary Archetypes Direct Our Life 
Generally, we will have 8 - 12 primary archetypes that were set early in life to propel us in a certain direction. They are expressed internally to our self and externally to others and have the shadow and light aspects. They can be balanced, compensatory, over-compensatory, compulsive, overbearing, and with positive / negative influences respectively.

We Can Choose What Archetypes We Wish to Express
Spring equinox is a good time to re-evaluate them and decide which ones you wish to take with you into the new year and which ones you’d rather leave. Put it simply, what aspect of you would you like to keep and what aspects would you like to let go of?
The energy of equinox will be felt between 12th March to mid-April and you have plenty of time to work with your archetypes.

How To Prepare Your Archetypes for Renewal?
Below is w brief self-help tool that you can use to help yourself in the renewal process.
You’ll need:

1. Your journal, or A3 or A4 paper, pen, coloured pencils if you are a creative type.

1. Archetype Cards deck or a list of archetypes.
2. Create a sacred space – candle, plants, flowers, nice music.

 
Working with archetypal energies during equinox

1. Create your sacred Space
   Make yourself comfortable and spend 10-15 min tuning in and creating a safe energetic space around you.
   This is good time to practice your energy shielding, cleansing visualisations and setting intentions for your space and time. A good practice is to also affirm your consent and authority as aligned with God, Light, Love, Truth and to create a container within your space to contain and transit the shadow fragments and attachments. Read more on setting personal space here. Invite your guides and your Higher Avatar Self to guide and support you.
   
   
2. Find your Personal Archetypes
   Access the list of archetypes and divide them into two groups: (1) the ones that you feel are running your life and (2) the ones that you would like to embody more.
   
   
3. Choose the ones you wish to keep
   Look at the group that run your life (1) and group them as those that make you feel happy and those that make you feel tired, resentful, exhausted, negatively pre-occupied with guilt, shame etc. Separate them in two columns in your journal.
   
   
4. Express gratitude to your 'Protectors' and Vulnerable Parts
   Now pick the Archetypes that represent your vulnerable wounded aspects and self-sabotaging behaviours designed to protect you and help you survive. They are universal protectors of your psyche  to make sure that the old programmes stay in place:
   The Child, The Saboteur, The Addict, The Victim, The Vampire (the Victim’s sibling), The Harsh Inner Critic/Judge, The Prostitute (when we trade truth for survival fears). 
   
   
5. Invite your Wise Archetypes
   To counterbalance the protectors pick the archetypes of Wise Guide, Sage, Mediator, Goddess, Mentor  –  these archetypes are your wise aspect, your evolved future selves and your spiritual family guides. Now you are ready to work with your Archetypes.
   
   
6. Make Peace with the  the old outmodes programmes, the vulnerable parts, and the protectors. Dialogue with your vulnerable parts, protectors and primary archetypes with the help of the your Wise Guide. They need to get on with each other - this is integration. When they fight - this is suppression, dissonance & dysregulation.
   
   
7. Choose new Archetypes you wish to Express & Integrate More
   Look at the archetypes card deck or list again and pick the archetypes that you wish you'd had time to express and embody more in your life. The ones that make you happy, but perhaps you were not able to express them because the habitual archetypes are still running the show. Ask yourself : “How can I integrate them more in my life this year?
   
   
8. Help with the  Integration process
   Ask yourself: How can I take better care of my vulnerable wounded aspects (4) to prevent over-reacting and over- protecting self-sabotaging behaviours from my old archetypes, so that my new archetypes can be better integrated?
   
   Observation
   Start with Observation. Notice how these ‘programmes’ play out in your life. Notice the subtle tricks they play. When you notice use ACCEPTANCE and LOVE. Thank them for being there to protect you. Let them know that are not going to be annihilated, but better integrated. Your are letting them know that they can have a rest and ease off and that you have other archetypes to help you now.
   
   Make a list of all the things that you can do to nurture and love yourself and keep it nearby when you need a reminder. You can also write these on a paper and put them in a glass jar, so they are ready when you need to use your self-help tools.
   
   Make a list of all the things and behaviours that you can do and implement to express the set of new archetypes. Keep your new archetypes near by to look at them and allow them to soak into your subconscious. Work with your intention to let your subconscious mind do the work for you.
   
   And this is it! Congratulations! You have applied yourself as a conscious co-creator of your life’s journey! You consciously planted the seeds of growth and power into your psyche that are aligned and resonate with who you are and what and who you wish to be. You have aligned yourself with your soul path and purpose.
