The Queen Archetype

September 16, 2015 by @candesscampbell

The creativity of your subconscious mind not only shows up in dreams, but also shows up as archetypes in your life. Archetypes are overlying patterns that show up in all cultures that are seeded in the psyche. Some examples of archetypes are mother, judge, teacher and healer. When you begin to look at these patterns in your life, you can unleash your creative energy.

“The shadow aspects of our archetypes are fed by our paradoxical relationship to power. We are as intimidated by being empowered as we are by being disempowered.”

– Caroline Myss

Whenever I explore an archetype, it is fun to write about one where I have personal experience. In this case, I am writing about my friend’s archetype.

Several years ago at a Conference with Brendon Burchard in Santa Clara, I met an incredible woman, Katie Cavanaugh. We spent the whole workshop learning together and getting to know each other. It was a collaborative relationship made in heaven. We decided to be business mentors for each other and have Skyped every week since.

In addition to focusing on business, we became fast friends. In 2012, she hosted and facilitated the Healer’s Gathering Workshop at the HarmonyHouse in Sisters, Oregon. I was delighted to be invited to be a keynote speaker. I decided to facilitate a DNA Activation with this group of 100 participants. She invited me to come and stay with her in the guest room (which is now called Candess’s room!)

As the pre-event unfolded, her house began to fill up with other guests and eventually I was moved to a blow up bed in her office. I found myself reacting, feeling hurt and angry. It just happened that my friend Cheyenne from Colorado was visiting her friend near Sisters and I was able to meet with her and talk. Cheyenne and I have known each other for many years and she is like a sister to me. She helped me realize that my control issue here was a safety issue and these kinds of reactions generally manifest for me in my own home and wherever I sleep.

Before the event I felt I needed to meet with Katie and clear what happened for me. I invited Katie to have lunch with Cheyenne, her friend and I so we could talk. The three of us were seated at a patio table as Katie walked in. She was majestic in her presence, carrying herself with confidence and grace. She sported a large smile and introduced herself and the whole ambience changed. Cheyenne said as soon as she saw her – she is a Queen. I immediately got it. My friend Katie Cavanaugh had the Queen archetype! We talked about my reaction to being downgraded from my own room to a blow up bed and just being able to share this with Katie created the safety I needed.

More importantly, knowing that Katie had the Queen Archetype shifted my relationship with her and I was able to understand and honor how amazing she is and how delighted I am to work with this powerful, intrepid woman!

You may have Queens in your life as well.

Characteristics of the Queen Archetype

Makes sure everything is exactly as it should be
Takes charge
Dominates her court and give orders
Is benevolent and takes care of her subjects
Is dignified, striking and awesome
Has a clear sense of responsibility
Plans and gets things done
Imparts to her subjects what she believes in important
Empowers her subjects to connect to the community and return to her

Shadow side of the Queen

Demanding
Aggressive
Vengeful
Heads will role if they don’t follow the rules

Having realized the nature of the Queen Archetype, I understood even more clearly the value of my friendship and collaborative relationship with Katie Cavanaugh. My main archetype is that of a Spiritual Teacher, but my energy is soft and responsive. When I watched her facilitate the Healer’s Gathering I was awed as many of us are in the presence of her majestic command.

Caroline Myss, a medical intuitive and the author of Sacred Contracts, a book on archetypes, has been my mentor through her workshops and books for nearly 20 years. She also has the Queen Archetype. In fact, I think many of the powerful women I have sought out as teachers share this quality.

By understanding and working with the Queen Archetype you will learn to identify these characteristics in yourself or in others. If you have the Queen archetype, be aware of how you affect others in your life. Your intensity may be misunderstood. Use your powerful persona to influence and guide others. Surround yourself with friends who support your vision and are willing participants in your Queendom!

If you have friends, family or co-workers who have the Queen Archetype, take a look at how you can benefit from their ruling and how you can support yourself and the Queen by this awareness. Share with them what you have learned and find your place in the royal family.

Awareness of the Archetypes can help you heal yourself and access your natural path to move toward your Divine Soul purpose.

The Diamond Cutter

September 11, 2015 by @candesscampbell

Collaboration has been my word for 2015 and I have been practicing creating projects with others. I find that my style of communication is direct and my perfectionism is showing up. I am highly detailed oriented and highly present (partially my training as a counselor) and this year I am realizing that where others see a pine tree, I see each needle and pine cone.

My Soul Group is reading The Diamond Cutter: The Buddha on Managing your Business and your Life. In Chapter 7 the authors give 47 business problems and their solutions. The solutions are always an “imprint” that the business owner has that creates this problem. This belief is in alignment with what I hold to be true. What is happening in our lives is a reflection of ourselves.

One of the shorter examples from the book I can share (its more extensive in the book) is “Business problem #34. People around you are unreliable. You give them a job, and you’re never quite sure if they’re going to come through for you. The Solution here is . . . “the main actions you can take to assure yourself the perception (and therefore the reality) of reliability in the staff around you is for you to be constant and dependable in a very specific context: in your marriage or similar family commitments. It’s not fashionable nowadays to talk much about this kind of reliability, but according to the law of the potential in things and the imprints of our actions, this is one of the most important steps we can take in assuring stability in our personal and business lives.”

This book is really helping me practice what I believe. There is so much blaming of others, but the greatest changes come from making changes in myself.

What changes do you need to make in your own life to attract what you desire?

Wayne Dyer as a Spiritual Guide

September 2, 2015 by @candesscampbell

Join with me in connecting with Wayne Dyer on the other side and sending blessings to his family. He passed on August 30th and will be missed by so many.

What a great loss for us on earth and what an incredible Spiritual Guide he will be on the other side. I remember taking a Hay House cruise to Alaska when I was finishing my doctorate in 2009. I brushed by Wayne as I walked through some vendors and got goose bumps. His energy was incredible and he was such an inspiration.

We love you and all you have gifted us with Wayne.

Wayne Dyer Quotes I love!

“How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.”

“Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.”

“Friends are God’s way of apologizing for your family.”

“With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.”

“When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.”

“Passion is a feeling that tells you: this is the right thing to do. Nothing can stand in my way. It doesn’t matter what anyone else says. This feeling is so good that it cannot be ignored. I’m going to follow my bliss and act upon this glorious sensation of joy.”

Abraham-Hicks Allowing

August 31, 2015 by @candesscampbell

On my walk along the Spokane River this morning, I was listening to Abraham-Hick’s talk about “allowing.”

I really enjoyed the way they used the concept of Vibrational Representation of Myself. This part of yourself can also be called your Higher Self, Inner Self, Divine Self, Creative Guidance or many other terms.

A few years ago sitting in my office meditating before I received a client, I got what I refer to as a “download.” A download is information coming clearly from my Higher Self. I immediately understood that I didn’t need to go into so much effort on a physical level, but rather could create from my Higher Self. Once I got that information, I began practicing connecting with that part of myself and creating at that level.

Now I see it is more about allowing from my Higher Self, or the Vibrational Representation of myself.

This is of course a practice and another practice that is so powerful is that of Gratitude. Enjoy this great audio. If you have a smart phone you can find it on youtube and listen while you walk!

Corbin Mansion Ghost Reading!

August 21, 2015 by @candesscampbell

Getting ready for the Ghost Reading Event at the Corbin Mansion. I always enjoy these events and they are always full. We have break out sessions where I share with the group about the local ghosts. As a psychic medium I also connect them with their loved ones that have crossed over!

I enjoy sitting in the window box with there with Anna Louise. She waits for Corbin to return. She enjoys when we have events that focus on her because she is lonely.

Chet Caskey and I have a book coming out in October entitled Spooky Spokane so this will be a fun night to share some of the highlights!

Chet Caskey is a retired attorney, local author and spiritual teacher. He leads a walking ghost tour through downtown Spokane. He is the author of Haunted Spokane: Ghosts & Dark Places in the Lilac City and Spokane’s Historic Cemeteries.

Here is a video where Chet and I met with Stephanie Vigil of KHQ news.

Abraham-Hicks on your Vibrational Self!

August 3, 2015 by @candesscampbell

So often we are reactive to our circumstances and even if you understand that it is your perception that makes the difference in how you see what is happening, it is difficult to remember this.

This morning, on my walk with Domingo, I listened to the first hour of this incredible workshop with Abraham (Esther Hicks.)

When you are stuck in your ego perception, sometimes all it takes is listening to, or being around someone who in running a higher vibration than you at the time. This is what I call energy medicine. Enjoy!
