Channel your warrior

In our culture we have lost an appropriate place for the warrior energy to be expressed and honored.

The old role of the warrior is dying. For many of us, it’s no longer appropriate to go out and physically fight and kill others. There’s no real place for that warrior energy in the way there used to be, and yet it’s an essential archetype. It’s important that we find the right use and expression of that energy. Otherwise, it will find a negative outlet or turn inward.

Each man and woman needs to connect with his or her own inner warrior and find a way to channel it. Our warrior is the energy that protects so that we can walk through potential danger unharmed. It’s the part that can help us stand up for what we need, want, or believe in. We must become warriors for truth, who take the path of confronting life, cutting through denial, and living in truth and integrity.

Daily Affirmation
