Arnica

IMAGE

A warrior who continues to stand despite wounds.

He hides his pain, believing he must cope on his own. However, the body and soul are asking for healing.

ARCHETYPE

• The wounded warrior
• The steadfast protector
• The silent guardian

SHADOW OF THE ARCHETYPE

• Denial of one's pain, weakness, vulnerability
• Self-isolation due to suppressed emotions.

TRANSFORMATION

(Meanings, tasks):

1. Understand that vulnerability is not weakness, but a path to growth.

2. Overcome isolation and loneliness by acknowledging your vulnerability.

3. Open up to receive care and support from others.

An image for self-reflection, not a promise of a treatment effect from the remedy.

Before: The wounded warrior hides pain behind a tough exterior, refuses help and remains alone.

After (desired state): Resilience goes hand in hand with acknowledging vulnerability: it is possible to open up to care and accept support from others.
