Gifts/Talents/Potentials (First two paragraphs)

With this as your life path, you are someone who is likely to have a deep connection to your inner life. People on your path tend to be natural introverts, who also have a love of being useful. Your connection to your inner life can provide insights, skills and talents that are nurtured in quiet and in private. These same insights, skills and talents are then likely be become the gifts you offer to others.

With wisdom a core element of this path, you are likely have a natural kind of wisdom about you, and to seek out the wisdom of others in whatever area interests you most. You may be, or become a teacher, consultant, counselor or systems analyst as possible avenues for your wisdom to be expressed and shared. Or you may find that, whatever you do professionally, you are the kind of person that others seek out informally for advice and counsel.

Challenges (First two paragraphs)

I have seen a continuum of how the challenges of this life path can manifest. As someone on this path the need for solitude and privacy run deep, and at the same time, you are likely to have a deep desire to contribute, be useful, and see how your particular brand of wisdom impacts the larger world.

With this in mind, your challenges may be in being stuck in one extreme or the other. One extreme I’ve seen in people on this path is that they are reclusive, shy and/or isolated, limited in their ability to move out and engage with the larger world. I’ve also seen people who have been so pressured to be outgoing and extroverted, despite their inherent nature, that they have real difficulty allowing themselves the sanctuary of solitude.

Tools (An example of one of the tools)

Here are some suggestions that may assist you in dealing with the challenges of your life path:

Solitude/Sanctuary

When in doubt, in pain, anxious, fatigued, upset for any reason, WITHDRAW! Your inner peace will always be supported by time spent quietly and alone. Taking walks, meditating, resting, cooking –alone! —gardening, listening to music, reading…whatever is good food for you when you are alone is something to have on the menu on a regular, preferably daily basis.

This can also include a physical sanctuary of some kind; a meditation room, garden space, or any room you know you can retreat to that has an environment supportive of quiet, inner time.

If this is challenging for you, it may mean you have historic pain in this area. You may need assistance to heal and transform the old patterns; which brings us to the next suggestion:
