The Andean mystical tradition, as practiced by Paqos, offers profound insights into the interplay between the soul, spirit, emotions, and energy. Paqos, the spiritual guides and energy practitioners of the Andes, are deeply connected to nature’s wisdom and work with the flow of living energy to achieve harmony and balance.

In today’s world, the term "narcissist" is often used too casually to describe someone who behaves selfishly. However, it's essential to distinguish between narcissistic traits—behaviours that can be harmful—and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), which is a diagnosable condition. Understanding these differences helps us approach relationships with clarity and compassion, while also protecting ourselves from the emotional harm these behaviours can cause.

In life, we can often find ourselves in situations where we are unasked for a certain role. This happens not only at work, but also within families, households and relationships. This involves a role that does not correspond to who we really are or how we feel. These situations can confuse us, make us doubt ourselves and create a heavy emotional burden. In this blog, I explore what it means to have such an uninvolved role, why it happens and how we can deal with it effectively.

As we navigate through life, we often hear internal voices that guide, criticise, or comfort us. These voices are not just figments of our imagination but are deeply rooted in our upbringing and interactions with family members. The phenomenon of family projection plays a significant role in shaping these voices, influencing how we perceive ourselves and the world around us.
