5.5.2 Vissuddha—Functional Archetype—Communicator

[Shatril]

“The Communicator is an archetype that has sterling virtue in a world where the sleaze factor runs high and where words are cheap,” –Ambika Wauters-Chakras and their Archetypes. The communicator’s word is good as gold. If they tell you something it is straight from the heart. They communicate with respect and integrity. They listen and hear what others say, then respond with veracity. They know that their words have power, and they are very careful with the way they communicate their feelings. They communicate their true feelings without damaging others in the process, but without compromising themselves. They say “NO” when someone asks them to do something they don’t want to do. They realize that their words have the power to heal situations and they apply this liberally. When the communicator is angry it expresses this in ways that are direct but not inflammatory; they will also communicate their joy and good feelings equally well. Open and direct communication frees it from complications and helps it stay connected to its deep core.
