Iris Berben
challenges and difficulties

Iris Berben 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 Berben knows it should be done.

She frequently over analyze or pick things apart mentally. Iris Berben may be something of a hypochondriac also. Iris 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.

Fear of the unknown, of change, and/or of death may plague Iris. She strongly resists changes and transitions rather than greeting them with curiosity or a spirit of adventure, which makes them much harder for her.

On another level entirely, Iris Berben is very careful about joining forces, and especially her material resources, with others. Berben wants to keep her own and other people's property and assets very distinct.

Her physical vitality and mental energy tend to be somewhat low. For this reason Iris Berben should try to avoid any unnecessary emotional and physical stress and follow good health habits in order to maintain overall resistance to illness.

Iris Berben has a tendency to be too critical of herself. She may be plagued by feelings of guilt about some past events, leading to further self-doubt. Iris must learn to handle her frustration, depression and discontentment and try to overcome her lack of self-confidence.

She is quite cool and reserved in matters of love relationships and tends to hold back her inclination for love. Somewhat inhibited in regard to relationships, Iris Berben is inclined to feel that she is better off staying by herself.

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

Cultivating the qualities of empathy, gentleness, and compassion will help counterbalance Berben's deeply ingrained perfectionism and critical nature. When under stress, she is apt to try to rigorously analyze and focus on what needs to be corrected or improved, and she can easily become problem-oriented and lose sight of the big picture.

Iris Berben has to learn to relax and surrender to the flow of events without having to figure everything out all the time. She should let her feelings and intuitions flow more freely, be more flexible and fluid, use her imagination and let her dreams emerge!

It is in her dealings with money, financial security, tangible assets and possessions that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above are ones Iris Berben needs to integrate in tangible ways: how she makes a living, building assets and a secure material base, what she does with the resources she has. Iris Berben should try to avoid over involvement or entanglements with other people's money matters, legal business, and personal affairs.

She enjoys relationships with others who can tune into the spiritual world and Iris Berben is likely to join groups or associations that sponsor psychics and that explore the connection with karmic influences.
