Episode 18 - The Spirit of Protection and Boundary Setting

We all have the father archetype within us that is essential to living a balanced, successful and healthy life. It is the protective, boundary setting, and guiding activity of Spirit that keeps us focused and holds us accountable. Without it we would wander aimlessly. Here we discuss how this fathering energy shows up in our lives.

NOTES:

Fathering energy can show up in lots of ways and through different kinds of people.

It is not specific to men, but is a part of the Masculine Essence, which we all hold within us.
