Book Description:
Caroline Myss’ New York Times bestseller Sacred Contracts invites readers to gain a unique perspective on their lives by working with a family of personal archetypes and their location on the Archetypal Wheel, similar in format to an astrological chart. Sacred Contracts: The Journey expands on the insights contained in the book and introduces whole new levels of awareness. Anyone who has read Sacred Contracts will certainly want to experience Caroline’s new insights firsthand. Those who may be unfamiliar with her book will be amazed to find its essence contained within the structure of this interactive experience.
We are each born with a Sacred Contract, an agreement to learn certain lessons and develop wisdom in this lifetime. Among our allies in the pursuit of wisdom is a set of 12 archetypes drawn from the inexhaustible well of the collective unconscious. Recognizing those archetypes within our psyche helps us learn how to benefit from their energies. We all share four survival-oriented archetypes: the Child, Victim, Prostitute, and Saboteur. Part of the challenge and excitement of working with your archetypal patterns consists in discovering how to select the other eight archetypes that make up your inner support team of 12, and learning more about how their energies help or hinder you.
Those 12 archetypes, when placed on the Archetypal Wheel through an intuitive process, make up your Chart of Origin, a diagram of key forces at work throughout your entire life. Although they are your primary archetypal patterns, however, they are not the only ones that influence you. There are countless archetypes in the collective unconscious, most of which come into play only in specific situations. Discovering the identity and function of the secondary archetypes in relation to your psyche is the goal of Sacred Contracts: The Journey. It is an interactive experience that can be used alone or by up to four people, and can add new layers of insight to that provided by your Chart of Origin. These levels represent a heightened understanding of archetypes that Caroline has developed since she wrote Sacred Contracts.
Sacred Contracts: The Journey is a way of seeking guidance for a particular question or issue in each participant’s life. You name the matter on which you are seeking guidance at the beginning of the Journey, and compile insights and guidance as you move along. It is not necessary to complete the Journey in one sitting, or even in one day. You may want to leave it out and return to it as time permits.

We all come into this world with 'Sacred Contracts,' according to bestselling author Caroline Myss. Some know it as a calling. Some see it as a life mission. 'In short, a Sacred Contract is an agreement your soul makes before you are born,' Myss explains. 'You promise to do certain things for yourself, for others, and for divine purposes. Part of the Contract requires that you discover what you are meant to do.' Herein lies the rub. Decoding our Sacred Contract requires us to become fluent in the language of symbols and archetypes so that we can interpret dreams, understand the meaning behind 'coincidences,' and learn to follow our intuition. This is why Myss (The Anatomy of the Spirit) offers an extensive lesson on helping readers recognize their personal archetypes (we have about 12 of them), such as the Avenger (righteous activists), Networker (journalists, messengers), or Prostitute (someone who 'sells out' easily). Myss then goes on to help readers create their own 'Chart of Origin' (which profiles your 'spiritual DNA'), using the teachings of the chakras and astrology. Part science, part ancient tradition, part magic, this book will gratify readers who are prepared to study the fine print of their Sacred Contracts. --Gail Hudson

Rating:  - Amazingly quick response time!
The seller sent this order right out and was amazed at how quickly I received this book. It arrived in excellent condition. Will use this seller again!
Rating: - A decent book to have in your library.
This is a good book to have in your library if you currently don't have an archetype book. I can't say that I learned a lot, but I do think that it is a good reference to have available. This doesn't compare to Anatomy of the Spirit which I consider to be a classic. This isn't a book that you sit down and read right through although Caroline Myss does make an attempt to make the book more than a reference. I do like the way she give individual stories in the book to make it more personal and ... Read More
Rating:  - Amazing material
This is the first audio I've heard from Caroline Myss. Her style is direct and no-nonsense and the content is enlightening. If you are looking for another tool through which to learn more about yourself, this cd set is a perfect introduction to contracts and archetypes.
Rating: - Classic Wonder
The material in this book is awesome - so much is offered for the reader to become well acquainted with archetypes and to chart one's own wheel.
Rating:  - Not as Compelling or Interesting
I finished reading Caroline Myss' book and actually forced myself to finish the last several pages. Though I did sit down and do a 'Wheel' of Archetypes, and learned more about myself I grew tired of her analysis of others' and their wheels. I got to the point, I didn't care any more. Previously I enjoyed her personal stories in 'Anatomy of Spirit' and in 'Invisible Acts of Power' though she repeated stories and it is best to avoid that pitfall. I am less inclined to buy any more of her books as ... Read More
