One spiral leads to and engages the next. I envision the Triple Spiral as a Passageway and metaphor describing an internal therapeutic process. Engraved in Neolithic sites, older than the pyramids, they have been taken to represent various trinities of relationship: Birth-Life-Death Land-Sea-Air and the tripartite qualities of gods, goddesses and religious doctrines. Images of Triple Spirals are found especially amongst the Celtic Lands. In these times, the symbol of the Triple Spiral is a powerful and dynamic container to describe the inner unfolding. The Triple Spiral Passageway There are also times in life when the calling to explore a particular issue or distress is so very loud and complicated, the singular spiral metaphor is simply not expansive enough to hold the work.
One view starts at the core and expands outwardly to engage with the world the other view begins in the other direction, leading from attention to outer consciousness, inward toward connection with our center.īoth directions are necessary and both directions are highlighted at different times in the healing process. They are often said to represent the energetic flow of awareness and action from either an inner or outer perspective. In imagining life as a spiral journey, it is helpful to also recall that spirals are an ancient symbol with many meanings depending upon culture, spiritual tradition and personal experience.
SPIRAL OF LIFE MEANING FULL
One can then, chose to accept, shift, change, let go, grow and continue the inner directed movement toward self-awareness and full expression of our unique life’s work and gifts. The deeper therapeutic process supports awareness of these personal patterns and creates opportunities to review them with fresh eyes. This perspective is gifted via that innate dynamic flow, which continues to carry us along the spiral pathway. It is important and hopeful to note that though the same issues may reappear, we always have the opportunity to address them from an enhanced state of awareness. It leads us to explore, expand, gain wisdom and ultimately return to our authentic self.īecause our path is so imbued with this spiral movement, we often find our life returning or cycling back to similar issues and patterns. We are born with this energetic flow etched deeply within our life essence. This life pattern mirrors the inhalation and exhalation of each breath and the expansion and contraction dance of our life cycle.
We begin from a point, a center: expand, contract, differentiate and disappear into the center point once again. I have observed and suggest, that our life journey might be more accurately defined and experienced as a multidimensional Spiral Pathway. It’s a simple formula but frequently not helpful when it comes to the full expression of human development and the healing, therapeutic process. Some of these linear guidelines are useful descriptors such as human life can be described in part, as beginning at birth and ending at death. Our life journey is often defined in a linear fashion.
