Sacred Contracts : Awakening Your Divine Potential
Amazon Description:
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

I love this book!
I had no idea that randomly purchasing this book one day while waiting for a barrista to make my coffee would be the start of my awakening. It introduced the idea of archetypes to me, and that we are a collection of them. It also tintroduced the idea that we agree to our life purpose, some of those we'll meet along the way, and some of it's circumstances before we become embodied in this life. It was an easy, entertaining read, and planted some seeds that have served me well.
