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.

Beware of stereotyped -thinking!

Would you try another book from Caroline Myss and/or Caroline Myss?

I did already and in my opinion her earlier works are the best

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

That there are far more archetypes than I'd have expected. The intro takes a bit long

What does Caroline Myss bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her way of speaking and talking about her personal life

Do you think The Language of Archetypes needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Definitely not, the danger of thinking in stereotypes is just too great.

Any additional comments?

The matching cards are a beautiful addon to the audio. Definitely worth the money!

Sacred contracts first.

If you have read or listened to sacred contracts. The language of Archetypes is a must listen! Do these in order. Take your time even a year or more to let this absorb into you. There are no words to explain the true gift of sacred knowledge that Caroline Myss has been given and that runs through her. Stop judging for just a moment and listen.

Awakening

Caroline Myss has done it again! She has spoken Truth in a direct way that doesn’t shame but rather moves a Soul to reflection and action.

Enlightening listen!!

Caroline has been appreciated by me for years. I first encountered her through Sounds True where I picked up her "Energy Anatomy" on cassette tapes. She has been my guru for years. I enjoy her so much. Any one of her titles is a masterpiece to own and I am thrilled Audible carries her works. Recommend. ;)

Symbolic language

This was a great listen. Not narrated as a book but as a series of talks. In her mystically literate language, Dr. Myss challenges individuals to more fully become who they were born to be. I could listen to her all day. Non-contrived, flowing and powerful- Love Her!

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.
