The introduction to her concept of the Sacred Contract and how our archetypes relate to the contracts we incarnate with. Dr. Myss asks us to examine "grace" and defines charism as our life's mission. She asks us to examine our belief systems about healing; presenting three models...tribal, individual and symbolic; and how our sacred contract is enmeshed in those belief systems and how our archetypal response to life is based on those same belief systems.

Caroline M. Myss ' Biography
Caroline is dedicated to creating educational programs in the field of human consciousness, spiritually and mysticism, health, energy medicine, and advancing the science of medical intuition. She established CMED, her own educational institute, in 2003, which offers two programs running three courses per year, on Sacred Contracts and Mysticism. Additionally, Caroline maintains a rigorous workshop and lecture schedule internationally and continues a consultation practice with physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other health practitioners, as a medical intuitive.
In 1996, Caroline compiled her years of research in medical intuition with her work in the field of human consciousness, releasing the book, ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT. This book became a New York Times bestseller and has been published in 18 languages. To date, it has sold over 1.5 million copies.
In investigating the underlying reasons why people sabotage their healing processes, Caroline identified a syndrome as 'woundology', characterized by a person who prefers to rely upon the power of illness for manipulation of his or her world as opposed to attained an independent, empowered state of health. As with her other ground-breaking research, this syndrome is now a recognized psychological condition. Her work in this area became the subject of her fourth book, WHY PEOPLE DON'T HEAL and HOW THEY CAN. This book was Caroline's second New York Times bestseller.
Caroline released her fifth book, SACRED CONTRACTS, which became her third New York Times bestseller. As with her previous books, this one is also in 18 languages and reports sales of well over 1.6 million.
Due to the interest generated by her work in Sacred Contracts, in 2003, Caroline opened CMED (Caroline Myss Education), her own educational institute. CMED offers two programs per year, each three sessions long. The first is on Sacred Contracts and the second is on Mysticism, Intuition, and Healing. The Institute draws students from nineteen nations, as well as across the United States.
In 2004, Caroline released her sixth book, INVISIBLE ACTS OF POWER, which also became a New York Times bestseller. She is now working on her seventh book: ENTERING THE CASTLE. She has also just published her first book through her company, CMED, entitled, THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON, an extraordinary piece of literature that was channeled sixty years ago by a nearly-blind woman named Edith Ellis. Myss considers this project to be a vital part of her commitment to support an archive of information on her personal passion, which is the mystical history of America.
Through the years of her career, Caroline has taught in thirty-five countries, continuing her international work at present. In addition to writing six books, Caroline is the leading recording artist for Sounds True, Inc., the major audio recording company in the holistic field. She has recorded with them since 1990, producing 30 different titles. Her entire library of recordings now number of 180.

Too many distractions,
By SFNeuropsych "nah415" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Archetypes & Sacred Contracts (Audio Cassette)
The information in these tapes is very valuable and as usual, Dr. Myss delivers her lecture with great depth and humor. Unfortunately, due to some unexplained shenanigens on the sidelines with a woman named Robin, Myss is quite distracted through the first 3 tapes. It appears that Robin is doing something to make the audience laugh and Dr. Myss keeps having to ask her to stop. I found this extremely irritating and distracting and I was very surprised that with all the lectures Myss delivers each year, they would decide to release tapes with this kind of thing taking up so much space. If you want some good tapes, try her lecture on The Fundamentals of Spiritual Alchemy. It is much better (I am a big fan and have many of her tapes) and there are no irritating distractions. Also on the archetypes tapes, Dr. Myss spends a great deal of time writing out diagrams which she does not explain for the benefit of her listening audience. The lecture itself is good if you have the patience to sift through all of the other parts that weren't well thought out or executed.

Archetypes & Sacred Contracts,
This review is from: Archetypes & Sacred Contracts (Audio Cassette)
A little less than a year ago I sent my father a letter letting him out of the contract we made when I came to this lifetime. Carolyn Myss writes in "Archetypes & Sacred Contracts" why this was so significant for my life growth. Obviously, one of the twelve roads we take in life, my ability to finally view my life in the eyes of review, that dictated that I have lived most of my life in a waking coma, viewing myself unfairly treated. Carolyn explains that as we come to this lifetime, we have made twelve significant contracts with people and/or situations that will give us steps to higher growth and they will add to our charism. Grandma was of Greek descent, and as a small boy she told me I had charism, Carolyn Myss explains the meaning of this word in this wonderful tape series, as we take each step closer to completing our contracts, we add to our charism. Archetypes & Sacred Contracts is yet another straw in the life that broke the camels back. As I take a closer look at my childhood, teenage and my adult conflicts, I am able to live out those contracts and view the lessons with a new set of eyes, eyes that will lend credence to charism. As we look at the archetypes of life, we find that they too have lessons, great lessons that can lead the way such as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Carolyn does a beautiful job using the tale of the Oz to show how it is representative of life in it's truest sense, as we move through our Chakras to our highest level of development. I am now awake, I look forward to each days lessons, and Carolyn Myss is one of the greatest teachers of the new age. Her ability to teach brings charism to each of those who reflect their lessons on the life they were born to live.....

A Myssian look at our spiritual journey,
By
This review is from: Archetypes & Sacred Contracts (Audio Cassette)
Carolyn Myss fills six audio cassetts with witty conversation in dialogue with a live audience. Her objective is to show us a way to think about our spiritual journey by using Jungian archetypes as they appear in our "sacred contract." This helps us define and understand our heroic journey into consciousness on a symbolic level. Our goal is to discover our "charism," a Greek word used in the Catholic catechism meaning "special or unique grace." Dr. Myss implies that we each are given a special or unique grace by God (or perhaps the Holy Spirit). We incarnate with a "sacred contract" which tests who we are as we proceed in search of this charism. Our task in life as we choose to become conscious is to learn particular lessons which are delineated in our sacred contract. We have choice points along the way. If we do not choose to learn the lesson in our contract through acquiescence to our surrender points then we must forever keep meeting up with the same archetypes (i.e., universal life patterns) until we make the choices which allow us to learn the lesson and thus to move to higher levels of consciousness and understanding (i.e., our minds are transformed so they serve the spirit [our higher self] as we liberate ourselves from the tyranny of our tribal mind). Our journey helps us refine our charism which in turn refines us so we may continue to refine our charism to give something of value back to the world before we go home (i.e., place of origin of our soul). Dr. Myss illustrates her ideas using a Jungian archetypal approach to the telling and analysis of Dorothy in the Wizzard of Oz and Annie Sullivan's young blind and deaf charge. Dr. Myss focusses on the "universal" archetypes of child (orphan), prostitute, victim, and saboteur. The tapes are fun to listen to. The material is complex and deserves several sessions of listening and relistening for maximum understanding. A novice will find the material confusing as Dr. Myss's verbal style is circular and integrated rather than linear.
