When change is necessary

Sometimes we are faced with difficult situations in life, when we know that things are just not right ... not at all what we want. These things oftentimes make us very unhappy ... even downright miserable.

How does one know when enough is enough? Don't compromise or throw away your integrity. Don't sell your soul. It's not worth it. You and your feelings and thoughts are more valuable than you are allowing them to be ...

Take the risk, make the choice, and walk away. Rid yourself of this negativity and you will see ... the universe doesn't like voids and because you've made the choice that is true to your heart and in your gut, your life will again fill with light.

The Prostitute Archetype
by Caroline Myss

None of us thinks kindly of the term 'prostitute,' and yet from this archetype we learn the great gift of never again having to compromise our body, mind, or spirit. You may have already reached the point in which the Prostitute has become a mature part of yourself that circles you with a strong vibrational field that says, "Not for sale."

The Prostitute archetype engages lessons in the sale or negotiation of one's integrity or spirit due to fears of physical survival or for financial gain. It activates the aspects of the unconscious that are related to seduction and control, whereby you are as capable of buying a controlling interest in another person as you are of selling your own power. Prostitution should be understood as the selling or selling out of your talents, ideas, and any other expression of the self. The core learning of the Prostitute relates to the need to birth and refine self-esteem and self-respect.

We prostitute ourselves when we sell our bodies or minds for money or when we compromise our morals and ethics for financial gain. That may include remaining in a marriage or job that endangers our well being for reasons of financial security.
