Publisher's summary

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 found that each of us has a "sacred support team" of 12 primary archetypes. Once identified, these archetypes allow you to discover your highest purpose, what she calls your "Sacred Contract". Now, in The Language of Archetypes, this three-time New York Times best-selling author brings to life a "gallery of archetypes": her first complete training course on how to identify and work with the nine major archetypal families.

What an interesting journey!

I downloaded this book after reading Sacred Contracts because I immediately wanted to learn more about finding my archetypes. I personally liked the live version of this book. While there are some things I'm still processing along this journey to aligning with the archetypes, there were portions of this lecture-book that were "pause and make a note" moments - that's for sure!

I'll definitely revisit this book - one time thru is not enough. I also invested in the archetype cards to have another visual and tap in a little more, so that'll be fun next time around.

If you take nothing else from this lecture, be sure to take in the "ah-ha" moments - those times when she's speaking directly to you, and tie those moments to the archetype(s) it speaks to. They're your little guides to fulfill those Sacred Contracts she refers to. Like little twinkles in the sky to light your path!

One of THE BEST Myss books!

Awesome audiobook! I loved listening to this book, it has great incites into others and ourselves. I also listen for character and story development ideas. I highly recommend to other authors, and would LOVE to participate in a discussion group for further self discovery.

Classic self development of the spirit

Very in depth.
It is changing how i approach my life
A great guide to understanding ourselves

fantastic tool for life!

I will be sharing this with others. Rich in content, best to listen in small doses.

One hour On

One hour in and this is the most impactful conversation style audiobook I have purchased. The insight the symbology and the behavioral observations made every word by this Author both enlightening and relatable. Very precise streams of consciousness that intertwine with previous books enough for one who has not read previous books able to follow along. Much inner contemplation on each topic.

What did you love best about The Language of Archetypes?

Caroline Myss is a Master of dissecting who we are and addressing our calling in life. The Language of Archteypes fills in the missing pieces. Caroline's straight talking, down-to-earth way of embracing and expanding on a complex subject is at once powerful, and focussing.

Important brilliant work

What we don’t realize about ourselves is that we function symbolically all the time. This is a body of brilliant important work. Thank you Carolyn

Fascinating, thought-provoking

Caroline Myss is not as widely known as she should be. The study of archetypes in our lives is not a new idea; it dates back to ancient philosophers, and is well-known to modern psychology. However, it is not a common topic for the average person. I propose that it SHOULD be, and Ms. Myss has put it into a context that will appeal to the average reader. We all regularly use this "language" of archetypes when we point out the "bully" in the school yard or the "princess" at work. But rarely do we look carefully at the characterics that make these traits so easily and naturally identifiable to us all. When seen through fairy tales, movies, and common experiences, these traits suddenly come alive and you (the reader/listener) will discover a whole new view of the world and of yourself. You will soon find that you can see the REASON for another's behavior (and your own as well) in a way that will provoke thought, understanding, and compassion. I recommend THE LANGUAGE OF ARCHETYPES as the first step into this delightful, insightful and astonishing world. You will find you want to learn more.

Entertaining yet missing practical guide

Learning the archetypes are interesting and a bit overwhelming with so many types and some that seem could overlap. You can tell she has some issues with some folks of certain archetypes as she gets a bit aggressive in talking about some. What's missing for me is a real practical guide about how to learn the message of the archetype and move forward successfully to change patterns. I think even a few detailed thought out examples would really help this book be more than a very basic index of archaetypes

enjoyable continuation

this is another great addition to my library.
much more in depth information on archetypes. a much companion to her book Sacred Contracts.
