How to manage your Shadow Beliefs and evoke your Latent Powers
I am delighted to share that we have updated the Power Profiles to reflect the Shadow beliefs that are behind the latent powers.
What is the Shadow?
The Shadow aspect of our psyche is a part of us which we don’t own or acknowledge. We have shut it away because we believe it is not welcome and will not be accepted by others.
In his model of the psyche, Carl Jung describes the shadow as the hidden, repressed or guilt laden parts of our personality. The shadow contains aspects of ourselves which we don’t like.
How does it play out in the Six Feminine Powers?
We may have certain beliefs about the dark side of a particular power or repress a part of an archetype within us. While we may stay away from the Power Blocks of the Power, we can also lose out on the bright side qualities of the power.
The beliefs we hold about a quality associated with a power prevents us from accessing it fully. This usually makes that power our less used or latent power.
One of my coaching clients had a belief as – I am not a people pleaser. I hate these goody- goody girls.
Her latent power was the Kanya. Because of this belief, she could not access the positive qualities of the Kanya- approachable, pleasant and collaborative. She overused her Veera power even when it was not required. As a result, she could not influence many people and some colleagues did not want to work with her!
Only when she realised that this belief was actually not supporting her and let go of it, she could evoke the part of the Kanya that she needed.
If you want to evoke your latent powers, it is important to understand the shadow beliefs around them. This is not easy since the shadow belief seems like a well known fact or is a valid assumption we have lived with for several years.
Here is a list of some Shadow beliefs around your latent powers.
