Exploring your Flirt
The Flirt has the unique
ability to express what it is feeling through
a handshake, a wink, a hug or a smile.
Provocative in nature this self has a strong
sense of its own value and worth. Often
charming in nature, this self is fueled its
connection to others.
The Flirt brings a
quality of presence, engagement and affection
towards life - people, places and things.
Open and candid, this self has a wonderful
ability of making others feel good about
them. The Flirt does not limit its
affections to people, age or gender.
The Flirt has an appreciation
for what's interesting and appealing as it
can connect with any and all aspects of life.
This heart centered self is spontaneous,
gravitating to where it feels energized. For
the Flirt even a simple walk can become an
avenue for engaging in life.
IDENTIFYING A DOMINANT FLIRT:
If you are over identified with your
Flirt, you can be perceived as over engaging
and inappropriate. Others may experience you
as teasing, game playing or having an agenda.
RECOGNIZING AN UNTAPPED
FLIRT:
When your Flirt has been disowned or
repressed you can lose a certain kind of
vitality and juiciness. You may feel
inhibited and unable to engage in the moment,
shying away from those who come in contact
with you.
MAINTAINING BALANCE WITH THE
FLIRT
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 Flirt you can experience the
dynamic between personal containment and the
freedom to be spontaneous. This balance
gives you appropriate limits in any given
situation while still offering you the
vitality of your own unique expression.
POSSIBLE OPPOSITES OF THE FLIRT TO
EXPLORE:
Every dominant self has a corresponding
opposite that holds possible clues to its
current status. Potential opposites for this
self from the other centers of the Head,
Belly and Spirit can be seen in selves such
as the Shadow King, the Rebel and the Innocent.
