Description: By Your Side by David Richo A fascinating exploration of the "assisting force" archetype-with powerful tools and insights on how to find and work with the assisting forces in your life, from best-selling author David Richo.A fascinating exploration of the "assisting force" archetype, with powerful psychological tools and spiritual insights on how to find and work with these forces in your life-from the bestselling author of How To Be An Adult in Relationships.Psychotherapist David Richo draws from history, Jungian psychology, Buddhism, nature, and other spiritual traditions to illuminate our connection to the "helpers" we call upon to navigate life. Some of the assisting forces in our lives are visible, and some are invisible. Some are with us for life; some come and go. Spiritual assisting forces could be bodhisattvas and saints-or partners in a relationship who are allies to one another.Richo says that helpers are a necessary character on our human journey, and that in every heroic journey story the hero or heroine requires a trustworthy companion to fulfill his/her/their destiny. The assisting force can take many forms, but is often depicted as a sidekick, an aide, a wise advisor, or a spirit guide. In stories, an assisting force can also be an elixir, a magic form of help, an animal, or a wish-fulfilling gem.In this fascinating inquiry, Richo posits that the archetype of the ally is necessary if we are ever to be fully who we are. He shows us how assisting forces are in and around us, and how we can be one to others. Richo offers a compelling and accessible view-and time-tested practices including meditation, self-inquiry, journaling, and affirmations-that help us recognize and access the allies in our lives.
