The Inner Critic and The Magician Hypnotic Meditation
Lowering self confidence, preventing you from start your projects. Is your inner critic able to do anything except hold you back? It will have you pissing on your own bonfire then suggest it might be an electrical fire. Criticism is inaction but it can be a useful guide. It highlights to us where we have unrealised self improvement, growth or self compassion.
In my opinion the first step to feeling better about yourself is to not be critical of the inner critic. Don’t try to fight or remove it.. Repurposed it..
Even calling it the inner critic adds even more judgement. You can’t repurpose that energy with criticism. Claim, rename and direct that energy…
It would be a mistake to try and remove or fight the inner critic as it is part of a bigger engine. That inward looking energy can be seen as a part of your inner guide or your Magician archetype.
The part of you that deals with details and planning, that understands the dynamics of social situations and relationships with people.
A strategist and a philosopher, it allows reading and writing and the use tools. It has allowed humans to dominate their natural world with technology.
It also allows us to look inside ourselves so we can improve and grow. Without the those skills there would be no self development.
Your sovereign or leader is the part of you in charge that takes leadership and makes decisions.
The sovereign should give the magician direction and the magician should advise your sovereign like a wise guide.
However when the magician does not have clear direction from your sovereign it can work away on strategies on it’s own, becoming overly sensitive at spotting threats, becoming overly protective, overly worrying, becoming an inner critic.
Sometimes all the sovereign needs to do to take control back is state your intent.
With clear direction and reassurance from your sovereign your magician archetype will work in a more positive way as an inner guide, a mentor.
Repurpose it’s brilliant creative energies to take you towards where you want to be in life.
