Erin Brown
challenges and difficulties

Erin Brown has a penchant for order and precision, and an almost compulsive attention to detail. She is often hypercritical and can be such a demanding perfectionist that she discourages herself or others from even attempting something that will not be done exactly the way Sadie Lane knows it should be done.

She frequently over analyzes or picks things apart mentally. Erin Brown may also be somewhat of a hypochondriac. Misty Mundae must learn that she does not have to rationally understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax her unnecessarily high or strict standards.

Her attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics is very conservative and possibly narrow or rigid. On the one hand, Erin Brown may believe in nothing that is speculative or intangible, requiring proof for any idea presented to her. Each idea is thoroughly and systematically examined. On the other hand, Misty Mundae may tenaciously cling to her grand philosophical or metaphysical beliefs and opinions, refusing to modify them or to be open and receptive to others' insights and perspectives.

Her overall outlook on life is serious, and Erin Brown may feel that life or God will punish her if she does not watch her step!

Erin Brown strives and struggles a great deal with her ideals or spiritual aspirations. She may go through periods of self-denial, asceticism, and in-depth study of religious philosophy and spiritual practices, or she may lose heart and become cynical about religious ideals; however, she can never quite divorce herself from her idealistic concerns.

Her emotional life is likely to be somewhat strained and she has a tendency toward pessimism. Erin Brown may not feel as close in her relationships to her loved ones as she would like to, and Misty Mundae may find it difficult to give and receive love.

Although Erin Brown is generally happy, at times she could become somewhat inhibited and because of this, she may occasionally let good opportunities slip by. Although she is interested in people, Sadie Lane also tends to periodically seek seclusion.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Erin Brown 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 Erin Brown 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 Erin Brown copes with stress. Erin Brown 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 Erin Brown to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of practical service is also important.

It is in fostering a personal vision or philosophy of life, whether through religious or philosophical studies, education or the wisdom of distant lands or cultures that Erin Brown is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Erin Brown needs to cultivate the qualities described above in this endeavor. Long distance communication and involvement with foreigners is likely to be significant to Sadie Lane.

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

Erin Brown should care for and nourish children, plants, pets or other people. She needs to make a home, create and sustain strong relationships with her family or a community that can support her and give her a sense of safety and belonging.

Erin Brown should develop her listening skills and deepen her understanding and appreciation of women and their perspective. Erin Brown has to learn to trust her own feelings, intuitions and emotional needs. She needs to care for herself in an accepting, non-judgmental way.

It is in Erin Brown's best interest to take all that is good and helpful from her past and use it in a new way. (If she is so inclined, Misty Mundae may want to explore the potential of past-life regression to tap into gifts she has already developed).

Erin Brown should develop faith and confidence both in herself and in a higher power that can guide, nourish, and help her. She needs to expand her willingness to dream and envision better things in life by studying religion, philosophy and other subjects that enable her to acquire a larger, more inclusive view of the world.

Being generous with her time, energy and resources in helping others achieve a better life will in turn benefit Erin Brown.
