Use the power of archetypes to your advantage! ✨

We are the result of countless other lives that preceded us. Some influence more and some less. This is the power of archetypes in your life.

Inside your unconscious there is a universe full of powerful symbols that guide your thoughts and attitudes. In fact, it happens without you even realizing it.

Archetypes are universal symbols that influence many people’s lives:

• How they behave;
• How they respond to stimuli;
• How do you view your life purposes?
• How they see the world and the people around them.

The power of archetypes helps to identify, work with and understand that these unconscious models, which are beyond conscious perception, can shape our reality.

Also, you can remove blocks and attract more prosperity and happiness. After all, who doesn’t want to be happier, feel sexier, smarter and feel good about themselves, right?

Can the power of archetypes really help me?

Yes you can! But before talking about this amazing tool, let’s understand a little more what it means.

Archetypes are like universal models of people, behaviors or personalities that play a role in influencing a group of people. This term and definition were developed by psychiatrist Carl Jung.

In his speech, Jung suggested that these archetypes were ancient forms of innate human knowledge – which belongs to being from birth – handed down by our ancestors.

Archetypes represent universal patterns and images that are part of the collective unconscious. Jung believed that we inherit these archetypes in the same way that we inherit instinctual patterns of behavior.

So working with them is like unlocking a more satisfying life and removing problems that don’t belong to us, but that bother us.

Technically, Jung established twelve base archetypes that if identified and worked well, can bring benefits. For example, who has the archetype of dad, tends to be powerful, authoritarian and providing. In this way, the authoritarian characteristic can be taken care of in order to diminish it and exalt the other good qualities.

How to identify my archetype?

Identifying an archetype is a difficult task and requires a lot of study and self-analysis. Ideally, you should look for an expert on the subject or even a Jungian therapist.

But if your desire is to know more about the subject, we list below 7 basic archetypes of Jung. Check out:

• The father : authority figure, powerful and domineering;
• The mother : nourishes the family, welcomes and comforts everyone;
• The child : desires innocence, rebirth, salvation and support;
• the wise old man : advisor, wise, holder of a lot of knowledge and patience;
• The hero : champion, defender and savior;
• the maiden : innocence, purity and aroused libido;
• the cheater : deceiver, liar and troublemaker.

But it’s not just these profiles of the power of the archetype that we find today. We also have several, including real, legendary and fantasy characters, but they greatly affect our imagination and lives.

The Power of the Aphrodite Archetype

As most of you may know, Aphrodite is a goddess of love and sensuality, before activating the power of her archetype, let’s understand more about her story.

Aphrodite was born quite differently. It sprang from the sea foam produced by the semen that Uranus spilled when he was castrated by Kronos. You see, it is born of a violent act to bring love and self-knowledge to humanity.

Unlike the other gods, Aphrodite only did what she wanted and everything had a purpose: her pleasure. Therefore, she lived life with intensity, dated, married, had children and cheated.

Before being the goddess of love’s beauty, she was someone who sought full satisfaction. Therefore, the power of this archetype lies in personal fulfillment first and foremost. In this way, you first learn to love yourself and then awaken love in the other.

Here’s what the Aphrodite archetype can do for you:

• Happiness in living and experiencing life;
• Magnetism;
• charisma;
• Pleasures valued and in the first place;
• Ease of captivating people;
• Freedom
• High power of seduction;
• Autonomy;
• Pleasure in transformation and constant changes;
• Independence;
• Impeccable communication and argumentation;
• Creativity
• Love yourself, allow yourself to love and be loved.

But how to attract all this to your life?

How to activate the chosen archetype?

To activate the power of this archetype you must be inspired by the history of the chosen model and change some habits, eliminate others and improve customs. For example, in the case of the Aphrodite archetype, the first step is to take better care of yourself and bring out the best.

Take care of yourself more, invest in your physical and mental health, but only do what makes you happy. If you don’t like working out, don’t force yourself to, just do some exercise you enjoy.

Another important point is to say the power phrases to yourself:

• I love myself and am wanted;
• I am beautiful and desirable;
• What I want, I get;
• I am amazing and insightful.

It is also necessary to attend events. As my wise grandparents say, “who is not seen, is not remembered”. Take advantage of your going out and put on a very sophisticated perfume, jewelry with a different design and dance a lot.

Don’t forget to activate your creative side by producing some kind of art and interacting with people in the area. By doing all this, you will be activating the power of the Aphrodite archetype.

What’s wrong with activating an archetype?

Well, not everything is flowers, right? Aphrodite wasn’t all love, beauty, pleasure and happiness. It has its counterpoint, which we call shadow.

Aphrodite’s shadow are like “side effects” of adopting a goddess lifestyle. So be careful not to develop:

• Selfishness;
• Individualism;
• Laziness;
• Exhibitionism;
• Vulgarity;
• Excessive vanity;
• Manipulation;
• Infidelity;
• Fear of getting old.

The shadow always accompanies the archetype and usually appears when it is activated. Just identify the characteristics of this shadow and be careful not to reproduce this behavior.

Now that you know the power of archetypes and how they can change your life, how about choosing one to activate? Don’t know which or how? You can rest assured that we will soon publish a special article with several archetypes.
