“What’s Your Theme for 2021?”
Lush Tongue: Sound Meditation and More #56
In the newest episode of LTSMM, I talk about the power of archetypes, particularly as they relate to themes. An archetype is an ancient, often universal, immediately recognizable pattern of being that is given form through a person, place, thing, or idea, and is imbued with a mythological, even a larger-than-life quality. Some human archetypes include the Queen, the Martyr, the Stoic, the Rebel, and so on. Archetypal ideas (also known as themes, tropes, meta-narratives, etc) include the Hero’s Journey, the Vow of Poverty, Fish Out of Water, Breakdown to Breakthrough, and so forth. They can also be singular themes like Love, Thrive, Expansion, Flow. Is there a theme that speaks to you in terms of what you desire to focus on in your own personal growth journey for 2021?
