The "Seeker" is a
powerful companion to many of us as we explore
avenues of healing on our paths as bodyworkers.
Here's what another therapist wrote about her
progress through the "Seeker" archetype:
"The Seeker was my highest-ranking archetype from the self-assessment in the home study course.
In addition to the self-help books and explorations of the different massage modalities I got involved in Tarot and later Wicca, and all sorts of different energy work. I actively sought the answers to what exactly was the energy I was working with and how did it tie into the Divine.
I think I’ve done a good job of transcending a lot of the problems with the "Seeker" archetype (need to be right all the time and the depressions and emotional instability that I now see are a normal part of the Seeker energy), and am much more likely to have fun with the journey and not be to convinced that I have ALL the answers.
In addition, the more I study and understand what I see as the Universal energy and presence, the closer I feel to others and the environment, and the more I want to take care of them. This has broadened my perspective as a massage therapist and a person. Thank You Seeker!"
