Description

Symbols are meaningful to us through the associations made by our bodies, and archetypal symbols particularly help us to fulfil long-term embodied needs. These needs may be to achieve goals, avoid threats, form relationships with others, and fulfil wider potential; but they are not always fulfilled if the association becomes rigidified.
