Kindred Spirit Feature: The Myth of ‘Readiness’ and Alchemising With Archetypes
“Readiness is a myth. Fear isn’t a stop sign — it’s the first doorway into your healing.”
- Nicole Barton
We are so delighted to share a feature we curated for Kindred Spirit Magazine about the Myth of ‘Readiness’ and Alchemising With Archetypes
As the nights draw longer this winter and we descend into November’s misty darkness, many magical women are feeling the call inwards to stillness – to healing and embracing a more meaningful path, perhaps even as a healer or guide to others.
Yet, as we begin to admit our desire for that, often we can feel a sense of not being ‘ready’ – not being ‘able’ to hold it all, not being ‘qualified’ enough, not being ‘confident’ enough, or not being ‘certain’ enough.
We sensitive souls can take this fear as a stop sign, but on my journey into healing and becoming a healer, I’ve come to know that the idea of ‘readiness’ is a myth. The truth is that often, fear is the first calling to healing ourselves and stepping into the role of healer for others. When we feel fear, the true invitation is into an initiation of courage. Our healing begins when we start to see that we have the power to answer the call – right now – instead of waiting for the ‘perfect’ moment.
Working with our inner apothecary of archetypal remedies has us come to know this. In particular, Archetypal Silver is a remedy that helps us to remember we don’t have to be perfectly ready – we can just courageously begin our journey, right where we are.
