You can often change your circumstances by changing your attitude. – Eleanor Roosevelt
Whether an earth-mama hippie, a successful business person or a local parent, everyone comes to them for an opinion and trusts it will be measured, intelligent and wise. Visionaries have a high level of integrity and discernment, are giving and kind, have excellent boundaries, and are optimistic and have a broad, inclusive perspective. They’re always looking to grow and evolve, to expand their awareness to better serve others.
Shadow Side
The Visionary may too easily over-attach to the issues of others. They can be haunted by the possibility of bad decision-making, public disapproval or ‘failure’, or letting others down – and become paralyzed from taking action, freezing their self-expression. In some circumstances, the Visionary can become dogmatic, arrogant or hyper-critical, ostracizing themselves by sitting too high on their lofty pedestal, unable to let their hair down. Or, they can become overwhelmed with the visions they receive, especially if they are unable to ground them in reality.
Potential Challenge Chakras
The Visionary may have overactive or wounded lower chakras that can make it difficult to bridge with higher chakras and spiritual/personal truth, manifesting in an ALL or nothing, wrong vs right perspective and an inability to benefit from the overall chakra system. They may find their energy bound up, unable to flow or fully express, with a blocked 3rd, 4th, or 5th, pushing rigidity up further. If stuck on a ‘pedestal,’ there may be an over-stimulated 6th that no longer sees visions for all, but only for themselves.
Tips: Cultivate intuition, particularly through full embodiment (which can only be well-done through anchoring in the lower chakras). Minimize your need for external validation, and wean yourself from superficial validation or distractions like Facebook and constant texting, etc., which undermines trust in your gifts. Cultivate your own visions, don’t get lost in others.
Self Care: Journaling will help you get out of your head and process your visions; meditation, martial arts (for mental and energetic discipline, embodiment), as well as dedicated time in nature to ground.
