Masculine & Feminine Embodiment Through Archetypal Psychology
Hollywood, Imagination & the Birth of My Archetypal World
Growing up, Hollywood had a profound impact on me. I didn’t know why I was so drawn to acting or why the embodiment of different personalities felt so familiar — but I strongly believed I was going to become the next Natalie Portman.
Despite of my passion, I never pursued acting professionally. Yet I became a highly adaptive, introspective creature who constantly jumped through different realms in her daydreams.
It wasn’t until later in life that I realized something important: my imagination was shaped by my favourite cinematic language — drama and thriller.
This led me toward self-destructive patterns, where I manifested chaos because, in my developing mind, I wasn’t the director yet. I was just the actress.
You see, we are not so different you and I… we all subconsciously act out roles that self-destroy our lives without realizing where the script originally came from. Luckily, it takes one reading of a blog-article like this to transform the way you see yourself and your presence in the world.
Archetypes as Allies: Moving Through Life With Spiritual Characters
In the warm spring of 95’ — I was born into this female vessel. Yet throughout my years I’ve witnessed several energetic patterns that have shown me that I’ve lived more life’s than just one. Some may protect me, some may guide me, and some may even attempt to sabotage me.
But I have in fact built a relationship with these energies, and they may step back or forward into the endeavours I choose to call them in for.
Imagine using your imagination deliberately. Embodying archetypes that moves between different versions of yourself — giving you more inner resources and most importantly allies to walk this lifetime with.
It’s not a complicated ritual, it feels like a knowing. An invocation of “I know you’re here to assist me — show me how to navigate this.”
But before I understood this, these energies naturally did not serve me.. they controlled me.
From Self-Righteous Princess to Sovereign Queen
Ahh… the self-righteous Princess. What a character.
Rooted in her false sense of power. Born in to privilege… those chapters were dominated by:
Fantasy and escapism
Entitlement and recklessness
Spiritual bypassing
Idealizing romance
Longing for rescue
She was not evil, nor did she have bad intentions, but she was spiritually unevolved — disconnected from her humility and her service.
I was forced to grow up in several real-life occasions that profoundly transformed my sense of identity:
Ending a two-sided abusive relationship (because taking accountability is freeing yourself from victimhood)
Sleeping on a small couch, and living with my parents in their studio apartment for nearly 16 months
Moving back to Sweden with €500 in my bank account
Giving up on a dream of building a spiritual community center in the Caribbean with my best friends at the time
It took me longer than a decade of my adulthood to finally arrive closer home within my Sovereign Queen whom I feel profoundly connected to today. She teaches me about
Discernment, and boundaries
Compassion, and emotional safety
Self-respect, and dignity
Responsibility for my energy, and at times ground others in theirs
Leadership driven by service, not survival
Are you inspired yet that the psychology and energy behind archetypes can change your life?
Healing the Inner Masculine: From Chaos to Clarity
Another archetype that once controlled my decisions was the wounded masculine — the manipulator, the exhausted life-force, the scattered vision without purpose.
Like many men and women, I didn’t grow up with a deeply present male role model.
My father and brother loved me, but they couldn’t hold my emotional complexity or my fluctuating ideas.
So I faced the hardest parts of life alone: relationships and purpose.
The lack of a safe container and ungrounded energy made most of my environment chaotic, yet profoundly based on self-discovery.
The man I embody today will
Ground me when I’m all over the place
Give me the confidence to face new challenges
Help me build my mission with structure and with patience — providing for me financially, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually.
DISCLOSURE: This type of embodiment practices may result in a highly independent being. Yet let us constantly remind ourselves to work towards an inter-dependent relationship model — honouring our intrinsic need for belonging and connection.
Doing Men’s Work as a Woman
Working with male clients has shown me something: I am truthful to this work.
Even though I dream of a world led by embodied men guiding other men, I know that spiritual women can help birth this reality too.
We cannot be their role models — but we can be the first place where they finally feel safe enough to explore their inner world.
Most women stay only in feminine work. Yet through my ability to connect with and hold both men and women, I’ve become even more capable of leading females deeper into their spiritual embodiment through this polarity work.
Why Archetypal Embodiment Matters for Women’s Spiritual Leadership
As a human race, we don’t need more information. We need identity transformation.
Archetypal work will help us shift:
emotional patterns
nervous system patterns
relational patterns
They have the potential to birth devoted leaders who will move us into the next paradigm shift of true spiritual connection.
