All of us were once children filled with light, curiosity, and wonder. Small and vulnerable, we had to figure out how to stay safe and find belonging in the world we grew up in.
Many times, the best option in overwhelming situations was to move our attention in an attempt to “turn down” the volume of whatever was “too much” or upsetting to us.
Ultimately, five options arose to turn down that volume:
Leave our body
Merge with others in the hope they could meet our needs
Hunker down and endure the storm
Get aggressive in an attempt to get what we want
Become rigid and follow the rules
These are the 5 Personality Patterns we all relied on to make it to adulthood.
Even after realizing we have better options to stay safe and connected, these habitual ways of seeing the world taint our experience of the here and now. Instead of responding to the present moment, the habitual responses from our past take over.
The good news is that these personality patterns are not who you are.
It’s not your most authentic expression.
In fact, your personality patterns are what keep your truest self from shining through.
Underneath your personality patterns is where you can connect back to your most authentic self.
Join Vitalist lead teachers, Kaycee Joy and Ryan DeLuca, for this six-week Embodiment Series aimed at connecting you back to your soul's most authentic expression through an embodied understanding of the 5 Personality Patterns.
