Spark of Life. Unveiling the Archetypal Power of Women

The second book by Lisa Marchiano — a Jungian analyst, author of the bestseller "Life-Giving Gift." A practical guide that will help you achieve a deep connection with yourself.

Inside every woman lies a powerful force — a vibrant, passionate spirit... that lives life to the fullest. However, societal and familial expectations compel us to suppress this energy: to always be kind, caring, and responsible. This leads to neglecting our natural talents and losing contact with our true selves.

The author invites you to explore the "spark of life" — the repressed, or shadow, aspects of the psyche. Modern analysis of fairy tales and myths, examples from the lives of clients, and questions for reflection will help you reclaim the fragmented parts of yourself, to reunite with your brilliant, creative, and independent nature and become who we are meant to be.

An inspiring journey into the world of feminine archetypes awaits you, where every heroine becomes a guide to your inner fire.

Who this book is for

For anyone interested in Jungian psychology.
For women who want to achieve a deeper connection with themselves.
For those who enjoy creative methods of self-discovery.


From the author: 
This book will suggest how to restore your connection with your inner fire — untamed life energy. These glowing embers can manifest in countless ways. Each of us has certain aspects of our personality "gathering dust in the attic," each with its own unfulfilled life. But there are eight qualities common to all women, possibly rejected and needing to be reclaimed. These are wisdom, stubbornness, cunning, desire, sexuality, anger, assertiveness, and ruthlessness.
The first three help us take care of ourselves, defend ourselves, react to danger, and express wit and humor. Desire and sexuality are linked to the capacity for joy and creative exploration. They energize us and help us feel alive. Anger, assertiveness, and ruthlessness are responsible for the ability to stand up for ourselves and assert our position. When used effectively, they empower us.
Together, these forbidden powers help a woman find her path and become the fullest version of herself.
