Exploring your Reflector
The Reflector has the gift of
mirroring what it sees, feels and senses. It
has the capacity to reveal what it perceives,
whether internally or externally. Through
subtle and not so subtle impressions, this
self can accurately and clearly convey what
it experiences.
The Reflector is powerful in
its ability to contemplate, speculate and
ponder life's issues. It offers a kind of
reverberation or echoing of what may appear
hidden. This self can bring issues to the
surface, enlivening their potency and
potential.
The Reflector brings a personal
connection with people, places and things.
This spirit centered self can make a
wonderful muse. It accesses information that
can be harnessed in support of self or others.
IDENTIFYING A DOMINANT REFLECTOR:
If you are over identified with your
Reflector, your feelings may become magnified
and distorted. This may result in feeling
out of control and overwhelmed by what you
perceive as opposed to the actual reality of
any given situation.
RECOGNIZING AN UNTAPPED
REFLECTOR:
When your Reflector has been disowned or
repressed you can feel disconnected from
yourself and others. Without the capacity to
express what you are experiencing you can
become stagnant or stuck.
MAINTAINING BALANCE WITH THE
REFLECTOR
To experience and maintain a healthy
connection with this self you need to
acknowledge where it falls on the spectrum
between dominant and untapped. With an
integrated Reflector you can maintain a
greater sense of balance between engaging
with life and insuring your own personal
boundaries. This process may allow you to
fully take in what you experience without
diffusing your own personal independence or
authority.
POSSIBLE OPPOSITES OF THE REFLECTOR TO
EXPLORE:
Every dominant self has a corresponding
opposite that holds possible clues to its
current status. Potential opposites for this
self can be seen in selves such as the
Achiever, the Pleasure Seeker and the
Masquerader.
DIALOGING WITH YOUR REFLECTOR:
- Where does your Reflector fall on the
spectrum from dominant to untapped?
- What are the qualities that this self
carries for you?
- When is the earliest memory you have of
your Reflector?
- Who are role models that influenced this
self?
- How does this self need or want your
attention by asking for it at this time?
- If your Reflector is dominant, who is the
opposite self that needs expression?
