Starting Point (Optional):
Notice your current relationship to the following:
What do you think is the difference between "masculine" and
"feminine"?
What percentage of your time do you think you spend being
"masculine" and being "feminine"?
Do you think your success in life depends upon one more than the
other?
What qualities, that you consider feminine, do you appreciate in
other people?
Are there specific feminine qualities that feel more comfortable
for you to be?
Are there specific feminine qualities that are especially
uncomfortable for you to be?

How do we summarize what the Temptress qualities cause?

If you answered the questions easily, you may confidently proceed to the next

because you will need this information to:
Develop a conscious relationship to qualities of femininity.
Develop specific feminine qualities for the effect they will have on your
relationships, sense of self and fulfillment.
Exercises (Optional):
Conceptualize by developing your own metaphors for the following. You might
play with historical people or events, elements of nature, even fictitious women
such as popular book, TV, or film characters. Or physical objects, like shoes!
The Qualities of the Temptress archetype
The Qualities of the Mother archetype
The Qualities of the Queen archetype
Verbalize by Self-Teaching the following topics out loud. You may use a mirror or
a camera in “selfie” mode. For an extra benefit, video-record yourself and watch
it back!
The Qualities of the Temptress archetype and how others respond
The Qualities of the Mother archetype and how others respond
The Qualities of the Queen archetype and how others respond
What happens when you have one set of qualities without the other two
Physicalize by acting out the following. For “kinesthetic learners,” this can help
you relate to the topic more deeply and/or clearly. You will also learn more about
your preconceptions by first imagining acting these out, and then actually doing
it.
Position your body, and then walk around, in ways that represent to you
the Qualities of the Temptress archetype. Notice what memories this
triggers and/or awareness this causes.
Position your body, and then walk around, in ways that represent to you
the Qualities of the Mother archetype. Notice what memories this triggers
and/or awareness this causes.
Position your body, and then walk around, in ways that represent to you
the Qualities of the Queen archetype. Notice what memories this triggers
and/or awareness this causes.
See if you can do the same with a combination of qualities from two or all
three archetypes.
How has your relationship to these qualities changed by acting them out?
Journal/Reflection Questions (Optional):
Personalize the topic for yourself by journaling or reflecting.
If you benefit from journaling by hand-writing, you might try responding to these
