The Medicine of the Jester Archetype: Laughter & Lightness #15

Send a textHow many of you have a friend who can snap you straight out of a state of mind?You’re in a mood… overthinking life… or just not feeling yourself, and then they appear.I do!Actually, I have two.They’re the Timons to my Pumbaa — or the Pumbaas to my Timon. I honestly don’t know which way round it is. Part of me feels like I’m meerkat energy because I’m nosey… but I also have the appetite of a hog, so honestly, the jury is still out. 😂Anyway — the point.These friends are the ones who slip into pure Jester energy. The ones who can make everything feel lighter. The friends who do a goofy dance, say something ridiculous, or pull a face that sends you into immediate emotional reboot.One second you’re a second away from crying…The next, you’re laughing so hard you forget why you were upset.We all need that.We all need a Jester friend.We all need exposure to Jester energy. In this episode, I’m talking all about this archetype, why it matters in the human collective and why if I had to lose ONE archetype from the human psyche…the Jester is the one I’d cling onto for dear life.Because laughter has always been my greatest healer. And if you didn't know that, you've had the good fortune of not hearing my hyena cackle...yet!Follow me on @Wellnessandwondergb www.wellnessandwondergb.com
