Innocent?
IDENTIFYING A DOMINANT INNOCENT:
If you are over identified with your
Innocent, you can lose your capacity to
filter out the realities of life, becoming
naïve or gullible. Your childlike responses
to the world around you can keep you from
responding with appropriate maturity.
RECOGNIZING AN UNTAPPED
INNOCENT: When your Innocent has been
disowned or repressed you begin to lose the
purity and freshness of the moment. You may
become fixated on the responsibilities of
your life losing touch with your essential
nature.

it has a corresponding opposite Self that
brings the potential for balance. Where is
your Innocent on the spectrum from dominant
to untapped? If your Innocent is dominant who
is the opposite Self that is being repressed
or disowned? If your Innocent is repressed
or disowned who is the opposite Self that is

in the
centers of the Head, Heart and Belly, such as
the Gatekeeper,the Pleasure Seeker or the
Entrepreneur.

conscious choices.
