Helen Hayes
challenges and difficulties

Helen Hayes has a critical, cynical attitude towards many religions and philosophies. Without realizing it, she prevents herself from appreciating new viewpoints and attitudes. Hayes is more rigid and dogmatic than she realizes. Her approach may also be too intellectual or moralistic. Helen Hayes takes her own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if she is not 100% clear about some ideology or theory.

Her childhood or her relationships with her parents was restrictive, unloving, or unhappy in ways that may prevent Helen from allowing other people to get close to her in later life. Helen Hayes felt deprived in some manner, whether or not she actually was deprived in some way. Emotional separations or repression of her needs and feelings may typify her early life, at least as Hayes remembers it. Forgiving her parents and/or letting go of any resentments she has about the limitations that she experienced early in her life is crucial. Also, Helen Hayes needs to build her own solid foundation, and investing time and energy into her home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help Helen accomplish this.

The conflict between spiritual needs and ideals versus material desires or limitations of the "real world" is one of Helen's ongoing challenges. It may be hard for Helen Hayes to sort out her true values, especially when she is enmeshed in the demands of mundane life. Times of retreat, isolation, meditation and prayer could be helpful to Hayes in this regard. Finding inner strength through spirituality and attunement to a higher source is ultimately the answer for her.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Helen Hayes 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 Helen Hayes needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

It is easy for Helen Hayes to become distracted from her path by the multitude of interesting choices, possibilities, and options available to her. Helen Hayes needs to develop single mindedness and focus. Until Helen directs her attention to some of the big questions, such as "What is my life's purpose?" "What is really important to me and essential to my happiness?", she is apt to dabble, scatter her energies in many directions and engage in activities which are entertaining but ultimately neither fruitful nor enriching.

Having an overall vision for her life and aligning her daily activities so that they support rather than detract from Hayes' larger purpose in life, is a significant step toward her personal development.

It is in her way of thinking, processing information and communicating that Helen Hayes is most likely to wrestle with these issues. In Hayes' relationships with neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances, she needs to try to bring out the qualities described above.

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

Helen Hayes 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 Helen Hayes.

She is reserved and somewhat conservative in presenting her viewpoints to others and prefers a philosophical discussion rather than small talk. Helen Hayes is quite selective in her choice of subjects and only wants to study what is really of interest to her.
