Isadora Duncan
challenges and difficulties

Isadora Duncan often has a sense of longing or homesickness for something she cannot name or specify, and she may have both: great attraction toward, and fear of, mysticism and parapsychology.

Overcoming feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety, loneliness, or oversensitivity is an important task for Duncan.

She may have nebulous but ever-present guilt and fears that are difficult to pinpoint or eradicate. It is as if Isadora Duncan does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend herself from its dangers and its unknowns. Isadora Duncan must learn to overcome her ingrained habit of discouragement and anxiety, and to see the world more as a friendly place than as a treacherous one.

The side of Isadora Duncan that wants and needs structure, order, stability, and a disciplined way of life is at odds with her urges for unfettered freedom, change, excitement, and discovery. There is apt to be much discontent, inner stress, and tension due to this, and at times Isadora finds it hard to relax. Isadora Duncan may act out in a rebellious way now and then, or clamp down hard on herself, in an attempt to strictly control her "wild" impulses. Duncan's task is to try to find a reasonable balance between order and creative chaos in her life.

She is inclined to be somewhat timid and afraid to start something on her own, preferring that someone else tells her what to do. Isadora Duncan can easily be deterred from pursuing her goals, making her advancement in life rather slow.

She is likely to find it hard to make decisions, looking forward to the future with great enthusiasm on one hand, but afraid of misjudgments on the other. Never quite sure about anything, Isadora Duncan may withdraw from situations and people periodically.

Very cautious and reserved, Isadora Duncan could find it difficult to express herself. She is a bit inhibited around others and does not seem to get much cooperation from them, causing Isadora to be disappointed.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Isadora Duncan 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 Isadora Duncan 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 Duncan'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.

Isadora Duncan 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 deep within herself, as Isadora Duncan faces her own demons, fears, and struggles - those aspects of life that are not easily or readily shared, those parts of her life that Isadora Duncan keeps hidden from public view where she is most likely to wrestle with these issues.

The qualities described above can also be beneficially channeled into some sort of charitable work, altruistic service or ministering to people in need.

Isadora Duncan tends to associate with weak or negative people and is inclined to find most of her relationships rather unfulfilling. Feeling like an outsider, Duncan gets the impression that others try to restrain her.

Some of her relationships tend to be a bit peculiar and Isadora should beware of becoming involved with bad company. Isadora Duncan could be easily lured by others to take part in dubious or underhanded schemes.
