INFJ personality types and INFP personality types are often drawn to the metaphysical side of life. This is because we are highly intuitive, and able to see the “reality behind the reality.” INFJs and INFPs see how all things are interconnected in an infinite web, and from an early age we are drawn to learning about magic, the supernatural, powers of the mind, powers of the spirit, one’s life design and one’s life blueprint.
INFJs and INFPs are also drawn to this type of subject matter because intuitive personality types have a primarily right-brained approach to life, although we live in a society that is heavily skewed toward a left-brained approach to life. Our culture places a high value on logic, linear thinking, facts, concrete reality, and information that can be gleaned through the five senses. INFJ personality types and INFP personality types can decently navigate left-brained activities and learning strategies, but we also need to engage in right-brained activities in order to thrive.
INFJs and INFPs usually keep our metaphysical interests hidden from our family and friends, because we feel weird about them. We may also have been mocked or punished for these interests in the past, and so we keep this part of ourselves hidden in order to protect ourselves from that happening again. However, for many of us, metaphysical interests are a core part of who we are, and we can only truly thrive in life if we allow ourselves to follow these interests.
I talk more about this in the video below:
I’m teaching a new class starting September 25 called Life on the Woo Side, and we’ll be exploring many of the different metaphysical interests INFJs and INFPs are drawn to, and how these metaphysical interests are tied into our specific life purpose.
We’ll be learning:
How INFJs and INFPs approach spirituality much differently than the mainstream
How INFJs and INFPs can ask for divine assistance in creative work
Why INFJs and INFPs need to connect to their intuition to heal trauma
…and more.
