The Warrior of Heart is the Warrior of Soul. Their strength is in the mind. Their weapon is in The Voice. Their army stands ready at their side always, for it is the Ancestral Soul. They can choose peace because they know themselves \\u2013 They can choose war because they know the cycles. <\\/i><\\/h4>\\nThey are the Tower and the Weaver, always for purpose, beyond themselves. They protect the Sacred Well and all who step through it. They are the servant and the campion. They move from Hope \\u2013 the possabilities, and they act from Love \\u2013 the threads that connect us all to each other.<\\/i><\\/h4>\\n \\u00a0<\\/p>\\n In Crane Practice the Warrior of Heart is just one of the archetypes that we hold within ourselves. Not a mask, but a way of being and moving.<\\/p>\\n Below is a excerpt from the book Goddess, Words of Transformation<\\/a> . \\u00a0As with all things in the Crane, you will not find a voice telling you how to be \\u2013 you will find the pieces to go deeper within yourself to find the real answers.

The Warrior of Heart is the Warrior of Soul. Their strength is in the mind. Their weapon is in The Voice. Their army stands ready at their side always, for it is the Ancestral Soul. They can choose peace because they know themselves \u2013 They can choose war because they know the cycles. <\/i><\/h4>\nThey are the Tower and the Weaver, always for purpose, beyond themselves. They protect the Sacred Well and all who step through it. They are the servant and the campion. They move from Hope \u2013 the possabilities, and they act from Love \u2013 the threads that connect us all to each other.<\/i><\/h4>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In Crane Practice the Warrior of Heart is just one of the archetypes that we hold within ourselves. Not a mask, but a way of being and moving.<\/p>\n Below is a excerpt from the book Goddess, Words of Transformation<\/a> . \u00a0As with all things in the Crane, you will not find a voice telling you how to be \u2013 you will find the pieces to go deeper within yourself to find the real answers.
