Miles Davis
challenges and difficulties

Davis both yearns for, and fears, being emotionally vulnerable with others and experiencing deep emotional intimacy. Trusting others and letting himself be known in a deep way does not come easily to Miles, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Miles Davis is very self-protective and may be compulsively secretive. Learning to relinquish control in personal relationships, and to be completely open, is an important task for Davis.

Miles Davis takes both his work and his health very seriously, but he may demand so much of his at work that he compromise his health. Miles can become a workaholic, not so much because he has lofty ambitions, but because he never feels like he has done enough. Miles Davis is overly responsible or overly conscientious at work, so much so that he may not enjoy it at all.

Davis can also get overly involved in self-improvement or his health, and he tends to be a bit of a hypochondriac.

Miles has an inner conflict between idealism, hope, and faith in the future versus doubt and oppression by limitations and practical realities. Miles Davis needs to develop discipline and patience in order to achieve his aspirations. Davis will grow by learning to accept frustration and to persevere in spite of obstacles.

Miles Davis strives and struggles a great deal with his ideals or spiritual aspirations. He may go through periods of self-denial, asceticism, and in-depth study of religious philosophy and spiritual practices, or he may lose heart and become cynical about religious ideals; however, he can never quite divorce himself from his idealistic concerns.

A bit stubborn and self-willed, Miles Davis persists no matter what obstacles he has to overcome. He has great endurance and strength and he forces himself to work very hard. Miles Davis could be somewhat one-sided in the pursuit of his objectives.

When he is with others, Miles Davis often may suddenly become inhibited. He is inclined to be afraid of confrontations and probably will avoid group activities as much as possible.

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

When under stress, Miles Davis is apt to shut off the flow of his emotions and ignore his needs and feelings in order to do what he perceives as his duty or simply what the practical realities of the situation dictate. This can lead to a certain rigidity and inflexibility. If overdone, self-control, self-discipline, or an exaggerated concern over what society, family or others expect of him, makes life more of a burden than an adventure.

Fostering his tender, caring, feminine, and nurturing aspects is an important step in Miles Davis' growth. Miles Davis needs to learn how to nourish and lovingly tend to both himself and others. Letting himself be taken care of sometimes is okay!

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

The following are specific activities that will support Miles Davis in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to Davis, and he may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to his path to wholeness.

Miles Davis' path to wholeness involves confronting his dark and hidden recesses, bringing them out into the open, and transforming himself in the process. Healing abilities develop as a result of Davis' 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 Miles.
