Women, Ageing and Archetypes by Margaret Stone Pdf

Women face a host of challenges as we age, from social disrespect, to physical changes, to the hard work of psychological adjustment.We explore in depth three major archetypes - the Hero on her Journey, the Wise Woman and the Goddess - from their roots to their relevance today in conscious ageing. What are archetypes, and why is there a universal myth of the Hero? Why did the menopause evolve, and how did that lead to the post-menopausal Wise Woman of early societies? What does the evidence show about worship of the Great Goddess in the past, and how could such powerful archetypes become hidden from us? How can we reclaim the myths of the Goddess today? Through these archetypes we can explore how much the "Crone" stage of life has to offer, and find the strength, power and courage to embrace all it brings, even our own mortality. This book aims to be a companion for your journey, with a range of ideas, images and exercises and help for the hard times.

Goddesses in Older Women by Jean Shinoda Bolen Pdf

At some point after fifty, every woman crosses a threshold into the third phase of her life. As she enters this uncharted territory -- one that is generally uncelebrated in popular culture -- she can choose to mourn what has gone before, or she can embrace the juicy-crone years. In this celebration of Act Three, Jean Shinoda Bolen, Jungian analyst and bestselling author of Goddesses in Everywoman, names the powerful new energies and potentials -- or archetypes -- that come into the psyche at this momentous time, suggesting that women getting older have profound and exciting reasons for welcoming the other side of fifty.

Inviting the Queen: An Emerging Archetype for Women at Midlife by Sandra Rogers Pdf

Depth psychotherapist Sandra Rogers articulates what many women intuitively know-that the archetypal configuration of Maiden, Mother, and Crone is missing something. She offers us the archetype of the Queen, a stage in midlife between the Mother and the Crone. Through rich examples of real-life women, Sandra brings the Queen to life, and then, shows us how to fully embody her energies through the chakra system, including suggestions for journaling, meditation, visualization, and instructions for conducting a set-coronation ritual. "This book could not be more relevant or timely! Sandra Rogers has written a book that embodies the last 60 years of women's efforts to achieve both deeper psychological realization and broader efficacy in the world. Sandra's book, Inviting the Queen, is written for women (and for men who love women) who are searching for a practical guidebook to wholeness: she asks you to welcome the Queen, a symbol of inner empowerment, into your life via simple exercises, engaging stories, and an important new way of understanding the chakras. This book is a 'crowning' achievement!" Patricia Ariadne, Ph.D., LMFT, Associate Professor of Psychology and Licensed Psychotherapist

Faces of Women and Aging by Ellen Cole,Esther D Rothblum,Nancy C Davis Pdf

Discover the diverse ways aging women attempt to deal with the universal challenges of loss, sickness, and death along with the problems of being old women in a society that values women mainly as sexual partners or producers of children. Old women are often seen as poor, powerless, and pitiful in our sexist and youth-oriented society. The truth is that women age much more successfully than do men and they are increasingly in the majority as our population ages. These truths and others are presented in Faces of Women and Aging--a collection written by women, a number of whom are themselves older women who bring their unique life experiences and personalities to the topic. This uplifting book emphasizes that middle and old age are merely stages of growth and development, not just seasons of loss and decline as the end approaches. A wealth of topics are covered in Faces of Women and Aging that broaden the reader’s awareness of the problems of women and aging including: how to maintain self-esteem in the face of sexism, ageism, and severe illness the problems of being single or divorced in the later years the problems of maintaining a good body image for older women in a society which values the young and the beautiful the additional difficulties of minority women, specifically lesbians and native American women increased dependency brought on by illness and loss of partners Faces of Women and Aging combines personal narratives that serve as reminders of the human beings behind statistics and case studies with theoretical observations which help therapists assist older women cope with the daily hardships as well as the more catastrophic problems of aging.

Creatrix Rising by Stephanie Raffelock Pdf

Ever since Eve was banned from the garden, women have endured the oftentimes painful and inaccurate definitions foisted upon them by the patriarchy. Maiden, mother, and crone, representing the three stages assigned to a woman’s life cycle, have been the limiting categories of both ancient and modern (neo-pagan) mythology. And one label in particular rankles: crone. The word conjures a wizened hag—useless for the most part, marginalized by appearance and ability. None of us has ever truly fit the old-crone image, and for today’s midlife women, a new archetype is being birthed: the creatrix. In Creatrix Rising, Stephanie Raffelock lays out—through personal stories and essays—the highlights of the past fifty years, in which women have gone from a quiet strength to a resounding voice. She invites us along on her own transformational journey by providing probing questions for reflection so that we can flesh out and bring to life this new archetype within ourselves. If what the Dalai Lama has predicted—that women will save the world—proves true, then the creatrix will for certain be out front, leading the pack.

WOMEN: STEREOTYPES AND ARCHETYPES by Manisha Roy Pdf

The book Women, Stereotypes and Archetypes, by Manisha Roy, explores the complexity of modern woman’s identity which is no longer supported by convenient but limiting stereotypes. The book tries to answer following questions : -How do the women handle the confusion arising from such a loss? -If stereotypes are rejected can understanding of the meaning and function of the archetypes in human psyche offer the majority of women guidelines to a secure identity? -Is an American woman's problem of identity different from that of a woman of another culture? -And finally, where does all this change and crisis lead? Examples from the author’s analytical practice of 40 years and life-long anthropological research and teaching are used to support her observations and conclusions.

Living Archetypes by Anthony Stevens Pdf

Anthony Stevens has devoted a lifetime to modernizing our understanding of the archetypes within us, relating them to conceptual developments in a variety of scientific disciplines, such as the patterns of behaviour of behavioural ecology, the species-specific behavioural systems of Bowlby’s attachment theory, the deep structures of Chomskian linguistics, and the modules of evolutionary psychology, to name but a few. This selection of papers and chapters from the course of Stevens’ career, all lucidly written and argued, highlight episodes in the progress of his quest to place archetypal theory on a sound scientific foundation. As a whole, Living Archetypes examines how archetypes are activated in the life history of all of us, how archetypal imperatives may be fulfilled or thwarted by our living circumstances, how they manifest in our dreams, symbols, fantasies and symptoms, and how appreciating their dynamics can generate insights of enormous therapeutic power. Living Archetypes: The Selected Works of Anthony Stevens provides an invaluable resource for Jungian psychotherapists, psychologists, academics and students committed to extending the evolutionary approach to psychology and psychiatry and understanding the dynamic significance of archetypes.

The Other Within Us by Marilyn Pearsall Pdf

Feminist women bequeath to us a powerful critique of our society's obsession with beauty and impossible body ideals. Having refused makeup, high heels, and short skirts in their youth, these women are now entering the most stigmatized stage in a woman's life—old age. As she becomes the “older woman,” the feminist's rejection of beauty standards and her ability to locate self-worth is being challenged.How will feminists respond to the issues raised in this phase of their lives? By confronting the issues unique to older women in our culture and society, these authors redress the neglect and isolation experienced within contemporary feminism and gerontology.Ultimately, the goal of the book is to inspire the aging woman to more easily embrace the “older other” within her.

The Power of Archetypes by Marie D. Jones Pdf

A self-help guide to understanding the language of archetypal symbols and harnessing them for personal success. Deep within your mind is a realm filled with powerful symbols that drive your thoughts, behaviors, and actions—often without your knowledge. This is the hidden world of “archetypes”: universal symbols responsible for who you are, how the world sees you, and what you believe about yourself and your life’s purpose. The Power of Archetypes will help you identify, understand, and work with the archetypes that exist beyond your conscious awareness to create your reality “behind the scenes.” You will also learn how to clear out old symbols that may be blocking you from the happiness and success you dream of. You will examine: • The roles of the subconscious and collective unconscious in shaping your identity, and why it is so hard to change “you” • The most common archetypes and what they symbolize • Global archetypes in religion, politics, and pop culture, and how they affect you • Ways to identify archetypes working in your life and the skills to change them and become more authentic. Archetypes reveal your plot and your purpose. The good news is, if you don’t like them, you can choose more empowering symbols to create a completely new story of your life.
