Our lives are nothing but stories, as we grow up our parents ,siblings, friends tell us stories as to how they see us through their own eyes, unfortunately we take these stories as to be somehow true and this concretes the perception of who we are. It dosnt allow for the changing notion of life instead these perceptions we hang onto and in fact we are prepared to fight to defend these misconcieved personas.
Life is nothing more than an adoption of a narrative that most of us dont change through our life. These perceptions may even do immense damage to us at young age and we reside in the perception that somehow we are not worthy of a better life.
Change your life change the narrative and adopt a central story that aligns with your life and find cohesion with your mind body and soul.
For millenia all cultures passed information down through the use of stories or metaphors if you will. These metaphors we process information in symbolic pictures.
The metaphor that comes to my mind is Platos Cave although more of an Allegory. as a metaphor it is a symbolic representation of what I see as the entrapment of man subject to the propanganda of the system that we find our selves in however looking deeper into the Cave I see the allegory of a journey from ignorance to knowledge emphasizing the pursuit of truth. the nature of reality and the philospohers role in society. Another metaphor/allegory of the Heros Journey speaks to this.
Symbolism is the language of the sub conscious mind. Hypnotist and Hypnotherapist are the tools available to access the subconcious.
The art of the storyteller is a metaphor where we create dissociation to assist with change in life. The art of storytelling has the power to unify our thoughts, emotions and experiences giving life meaning and direction. By crafting a personal narrative we create cohesion and purpose.
This story/narrative becomes the updated operating system allowing the mind and body to sync up in service to the plot. This cohesion unlocks motivation, resilience and a sense of meaning.
Story telling might just be the ultimate in Self Care
Your life story is like a compass for your soul. Its up to you to find your direction and align yourself with the story of your life.......
