Manifestor

You are here to set impulses and get things moving. Your energy comes in bursts and often comes across as provocative in order to start something new.

The Spark

You get the ball rolling. Your energy isn't made to keep pushing it forever, but to give it the initial push.

  • Initiative
  • Autonomy
  • Impact

The Peace

The peace that sets in when you can follow your impulses without meeting resistance (because you have informed).

  • Peace
  • Influence
  • Freedom
  • Movement

Resistance & Anger

The anger that arises when you are controlled, or when others slow you down because they don't know what you're doing.

  • Anger
  • Resistance
  • Isolation

Inner Authority

You don't have to wait for life. When the impulse is there, inform and act.

Impulse

Informing is for the OTHERS, not for you. It is the key that keeps your back covered.

  • Inform instead of asking
  • Act in bursts
  • Take breaks

Deep Insight

Your aura is 'closed'. That is not a flaw but your protective suit. It allows you to act independently. When you inform, you briefly open the door so that others don't resist out of fear.

Shadow Challenge

Dealing with the resistance of others when you don't inform them.

Strategy

Inform before acting

Affirmation

I inform those around me and clear the way for my impulses.
