Enya
challenges and difficulties

Enya has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Enya is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but she may lack the capacity for joy and play. Enya often feels burdened by life's demands and responsibilities, and may envy those who seem to attract what they want in life without a great deal of personal effort.

There is a very judgmental, stern, and uncompromising side of Enya Brennan's that may inhibit her a great deal. Enya must avoid becoming cumbersome and cynical, or a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose sense of practicality and realism rob her of the playful, imaginative side of life.

Enya takes both her work and her health very seriously, but she may demand so much of herself at work that she compromises her health. Enya can become a workaholic, not so much because she has lofty ambitions, but because she never feels like she has done enough. Enya is overly responsible or overly conscientious at work, so much so that she may not enjoy it at all.

Enya Brennan can also get overly involved in self-improvement or her health, and she tends to be a bit of a hypochondriac.

She prefers to work alone rather than with others. Content on her own, Enya Brennan tends to become inhibited when she is with others, especially women. Enya may feel that the effort required to be with others is too great and probably not even worth it.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Enya instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that she is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for her. The direction Enya needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Her natural instinct, especially when under stress, is to passively go along with whatever is easiest, refrain from clearly analyzing or assessing her situation and perhaps even try to escape from seeing her situation clearly by indulging in fantasies, intoxicants, and the like. Dreaminess and impracticality, being unfocused and undefined (at least in certain areas) are ways Enya copes with stress. Enya also has trouble setting limits and saying no.

Her development path lies in cultivating discrimination and clarity, becoming more precise, and developing technical and practical skills that will enable Enya to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of practical service is also important.

It is in her relationships with others that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. There is a dynamic balance (or conflict) within Enya between acting spontaneously and being true to herself versus modifying herself or her behavior to suit others. Enya seesaws between being inordinately concerned with her self to being overly conciliatory and concerned with others' needs, rights, or opinions about her. Learning to act authentically and forthrightly regardless of possible consequences is Enya Brennan's task.

The following are specific activities that will support Enya in her growth. These may or may not feel natural to Enya Brennan, and she may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to her path to wholeness.

Enya's path to wholeness involves confronting her dark and hidden recesses, bringing them out into the open, and transforming herself in the process. Healing abilities develop as a result of Enya Brennan's willingness to experience and transform deep emotions such as grief, anger, and pain. Furthermore, bringing light to the darkness and pain in the world without becoming overwhelmed by it is a significant challenge for Enya.
