The Inner Healer ✨

I am in service to the Inner Healer. That is an ethic that I live by…

The Inner Healer is one of the most evolved archetypes and one that lives, undeniably and without question, within EVERY sentient being. It is the wisdom within each one of us that guides us on our own journey to healing and wholeness. All of life is geared toward wholeness and healing, and each one of us contains that inner compass within. It’s just a matter of listening... or creating the space and getting quiet enough to hear its guidance.

In Hawaiian culture, they speak about the wisdom from the na’au, the belly button that once connected you to your mother and the source of life. This is the Inner Healer: it is our intuition, our innate sense of knowing, as well as our survival instincts.

Richard Schwartz’s discovery of Internal Family Systems (IFS) has revealed that we each contain a Self, which is yet another word for the Inner Healer. The Self is the whole and complete aspect of each human that has the capacity to guide the system to balance and health. In IFS terms, we are all comprised of many disparate parts, which include Exiles and Protectors, each developed to support our survival and functioning in the world. The very nature of turning inward and facing these parts is the Inner Healer at work. And through the IFS sessions, one is able to access and come to know their Self by recognizing when they are feeling the curiosity and compassion that simply wants to know and understand the other parts, not change nor eliminate them. It is important to recognize and genuinely validate that each Part has an inherent good intention (no matter what the behavior looks like on the outside).

What are Archetypes?

Archetypes are Foundation blocks, embedded into the very fabric of existence. They are everywhere... within us, they may take the shape of IFS parts or personality characteristics, shadow parts, and enlightened and motivating forces. Archetypes exist in all of the great spiritual traditions, in psychology, the media, and the entertainment industry. They are the result of collective, shared ancestral memories that persist in art, literature, and religion. Called karma, trauma, diagnoses, parts, characters, personalities, avatars, deities… archetypes guide our way on the path to understanding and knowing ourselves, others, and truly, the workings of the entire world throughout time...

what better way to tend to the Soul...

The collective unconscious consists of the sum of the instincts and their correlates, the archetypes. Just as everybody possesses instincts, we also possess a stock of archetypal images.

These images and archetypes make up the topography of our unique soul signature, and SoulCollage cards bring those parts of ourselves out into the light... to be seen, heard and given voice to guide us. SoulCollage cards show us the parts of ourselves we didn't know existed.

Like traditional tarot, SoulCollage has suits. The cards you create fall into these five main categories. SoulCollage is a system for understanding your unique psyche and self.
