Over the last two weeks, I encouraged you to name, reflect on, and give voice to your various parts. And, again, I provided a number of categories that you can work from: adaptations (ways you have had to contort yourself to survive this world); defences and disguises (ways you have had to armor/distort/protect yourself to survive this world); archetypes (ways of being that reflect your essential nature in this incarnation); hidden parts (the parts of you that have had to deny, repress, hide from view); soul-selves (the parts of you that reflect your sacred purpose in this lifetime. That is, the parts that reflect your essential why in this lifetime); core-self (that which lives—unchangeably—at the center of your being—and reflects who you fundamentally are in this lifetime).
This week, we are going to explore the question of which of these parts, aspects, and selves feel like they have a place in your life, from this moment forward? That is, which of them have already served their purpose and worn out their welcome? Which continue to serve a necessary role, even if they aren’t a direct reflection of your reasons for being? Which are trying to take form at this stage of your life? And, which of them might actually be ready to be embraced as fundamental to your core-self?
