Life Force

Mythipedia Entry – Life Force

The vital force of life itself that flows through a human body. Each individual has a certain amount of life-force, and when this is depleted, they die. The subtle navigation through one’s experiences is gauged by their effect on one’s life force.

Life Force is directly tied to the mortal experience. It is the understanding that for all our talents, for all our traumas and their treasures, we are all being human, which is to say we have a birth, and life, and a death. In the healing arts, we seek to amplify and prolong the vital force so as to make the human experience more enjoyable.

Divination, which is tied to discernment and decision, is linked into the resolution of patterns within the self which affect one’s life-force, and is part of the compass of navigation along one’s path.
