The Language of Archetypes (ISBN 159179353X)

Book Description:
Have you ever felt that your life was guided by larger forces? Unseen but very real energies that influence every direction your life takes? In her renowned work as a medical intuitive, Caroline Myss examined the patterns of hundreds of archetypes that exist in human consciousness, and uncovered an "alchemy of spirituality" we all can use for self-understanding, healing, and divine connection. On The Language of Archetypes, this three-time New York Times bestselling author brings to life a "gallery of archetypes" in a 10-CD audio curriculum over a decade in the making. Her first complete training course on how to identify and work with the eight major archetypal families, this landmark program brings listeners face-to-face with: • The Four Survival Archetypes everyone is born with: child, prostitute, victim, and saboteur • The Royal Family: queen, king, damsel, knight, and others • The Shadow Family: thief, trickster, addict, and others "When you learn to speak in archetypes," teaches Caroline Myss, "you start to see the world and everything in it in an altogether different way." Delivered with masterful storytelling, The Language of Archetypes gives listeners a personal introduction to the many dynamic yet often hidden characters that profoundly impact health, relationships, career—every facet of our sacred destiny.

Shine the Light Deep into your Soul:
This audiobook will give you the tools of insight that you will need to shine the light of awareness deep into your psyche. By learning and mapping who you are you will then be able to make your life into the one you actually want to live. Her manner can be a little off-putting at first, but if you put your ego to one side before you listen, you will find yourself immersed in the magical world of archetypal energies and they will become so very apparent to you that you will be able find the most sought after treasure on earth: self-congruence.

Entertaining Speaker Offers Symbolic Perspective:
I usually don't spend this kind of money for a speaker's ideas. I've been delving into Jungian archetypes and, facing a long drive over several days, decided to spend part of that time listening to Myss's ideas. I am so glad that I made the purchase. I had become acquainted with Myss's ideas through an earlier 4-tape set. Myss has honed her skill as a speaker in the interim. She fleshes out her views of such archetypes as the mother, magician, warrior, victim, and so on with often humorous and lively examples. Her purpose is to inspire each of us to know ourselves and others more completely by living a "symbolic life" leading to personal and spiritual growth and transformation. This CD set seems to retain its value for resale, so when I have completely absorbed its engrossing lessons, I will be able to pass it on.

Information to Help You Understand your Life:
Excellent information that will cause an individual to reflect on life and make an effort to improve themselves and support others along the way.

Great Expansion of Myss's Archetypes:
I really enjoyed the Secret Language of Archetypes. Caroline Myss is one of my favorite writers/speakers, and this CD series was as engrossing as her other audio releases. The reason I gave it four stars rather than five was because of the amount of repetition from her Sacred Contact book, audio, and audio workshop. But a certain anmount of repetition is to be expected, and there is enough original information that I still highly recommend it.

Becareful Taking CD's out of packaging:
The cd's were everything I had hoped for, have been interested in Myss' work and this was very informative. The only problem I had was getting the cd's out of the cardboard packaging. No matter how careful I was I ended up scratching one of them taking it out.
