    Watch Your Mind: The Three-Step Method | Carl Jung | Core Active Imagination Series

    In this exercise we focus on the first of three steps in this active imagination technique — watching the mind. Using the breath as a canvas, we turn the mind back on itself rather than remaining lost in the natural flow of discursive thought. This is the foundation of the practice: simple, repeatable, and available no matter what's going on for you. This exercise uses active imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation. 🔔 Work with Max: Book a free Perspectives call — https://makeitconscious.com/coaching/ 🌿 Not ready to book a call?

    An Introduction to Active Imagination: The Three-Step Method | Carl Jung's Method | Core Series

    Active imagination is a technique developed by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, who described the conscious mind — the ego — as like a cork in an ocean, to illustrate the vastness of the unconscious relative to what we're aware of. In this exercise, we engage with the unconscious directly using a simple three-step method you can use on a daily basis. The unconscious mind is a vital part of who we are, containing the seeds of meaningful development — and yet it's something many of us have a fear of, or simply don't know how to work with. This exercise uses active imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation. 🔔 Work with Max: Book a free Perspectives call — https://makeitconscious.com/coaching/ ---------- Free Personality Dynamics Assessment: https://makeitconscious.com/pda/ Discover your psychological type and development pathway.

    13. Juni

    Shadow Through Others' Words | Guided Active Imagination Exercise | Carl Jung's Method

    In this exercise, we're going to be working with the shadow. The shadow is everything we don't like about ourselves that we also hide from conscious awareness, and it exists for good reason. We have to take a stance in life, and any time we do that, something else must be left out. But if there's anywhere that our shadow gets revealed, it's often in our relationships with other people. Some of the best opportunities to understand our shadow are in conflict with others, in falling outs, in the feedback that was actually given to us explicitly by other people. In this exercise we're going to be relaxing some of those defences that may have served a purpose at times and using conflict as a mirror for shadow material. This exercise uses active imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation.

  4. Working with Anger | Guided Active Imagination Exercise | Shadow Work Exercise

    6. Juni

    Working with Anger | Guided Active Imagination Exercise | Shadow Work Exercise

    In this exercise we're going to be working with anger. Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions across virtually every tradition — religious, therapeutic, cultural. This is quite simply because most do not differentiate between conscious and unconscious anger, or at least having a conscious relationship to anger or not. As Alan Watts once said, "The idea that there are no wrong feelings is an immensely threatening one to people who are afraid to feel." Anger gets treated as the problem when actually it's the relationship to anger that is the problem. Just like every other emotion, anger exists for a reason. It is a signal. It has intelligence. It often knows something before the rest of you does. This exercise uses active imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation. 🔥 Extended exercises and premium packs available in Hestia: https://hestia.makeitconscious.com/ ---------- Free Personality Dynamics Assessment: https://makeitconscious.com/pda/ Discover your psychological type and development pathway.

  5. Transforming Conflict: Guided Active Imagination | Shadow Work Exercise

    30. Mai

    Transforming Conflict: Guided Active Imagination | Shadow Work Exercise

    In this exercise, we're working with conflict — interpersonal conflict. This is a good exercise to do if you've had a conflict recently, especially one with an emotional charge that lingered and where you know there's something more to uncover about yourself and the situation. Interpersonal conflict is one of the best windows into understanding ourselves and our own minds. But whatever self-knowledge conflict has to offer, you often cannot think your way to all of it. A direct encounter with unconscious content produces what thinking alone cannot. And when it comes to conflict this can get tricky, because the ego has a real stake in it. There's also the opposite trap: assuming it's all projection, or all your own mind creating it. The goal is to see clearly, and that means being willing to look in both directions — at the inner and the outer shadow work. This exercise uses active imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation. 🔥 Extended exercises and premium packs available in Hestia: https://hestia.makeitconscious.com/ ---------- Free Personality Dynamics Assessment: https://makeitconscious.com/pda/ Discover your psychological type and development pathway.

  6. The Shadow: Through Others' Eyes | Guided Active Imagination Exercise

    23. Mai

    The Shadow: Through Others' Eyes | Guided Active Imagination Exercise

    In this guided active imagination exercise, we're going to be working with the shadow. The shadow is everything that we don't like about ourselves and that we keep out of conscious awareness. Any time we take a stance in life, something else gets left out, and this creates a number of challenges. What gets left out must find expression somehow, and is a vital and necessary part of our personality that must be reconciled with in developing self-knowledge. If there's anywhere that the shadow gets challenged and revealed, it's in our relationships with other people. Their responses to us - particularly the quiet ones, the unexplained distance and withdrawal - are not under our control, which is precisely what makes other people one of the most reliable mirrors for reflecting back our shadow material. Working with shadow material is not about becoming liked by everybody or reforming yourself for social gain, but about understanding where you may have become one-sided and, through that, developing greater self-knowledge and cultivating deeper relationships with others as well as with yourself. This exercise uses active imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation. 🔥 Extended exercises and premium packs available in Hestia: https://hestia.makeitconscious.com/ ---------- Free Personality Dynamics Assessment: https://makeitconscious.com/pda/ Discover your psychological type and development pathway.

    The House: Symbolic Investigation Active Imagination | Carl Jung's Shadow Work Method

    The house is a symbol that immediately incites something in all of us. The psyche of its own accord very regularly produces the symbol of a home or a house to communicate the self. There is so much in the symbol that relates to the structure of our minds - houses have multiple floors, multiple rooms, high parts and low parts, underground sections. They contain various objects and various different people, each also reflecting back aspects of ourselves. Carl Jung, in Memories, Dreams, Reflections, describes a dream he had of a house in which each floor was a different style from a different era. The ground floor medieval, the cellar Roman. This experience shaped his entire model of mind. There is also much to be said for the appearance of a house as the hard outer shell or facade we present, and the inner realm we protect. Home is a feeling state - a sense of belonging, safety, the ability to be yourself. This exercise uses active imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation. 🔥 Extended exercises and premium packs available in Hestia: https://hestia.makeitconscious.com/ ---------- Free Personality Dynamics Assessment: https://makeitconscious.com/pda/ Discover your psychological type and development pathway.

    8. Mai

    What Are You Feeling? | Emotional Integration | Shadow Work Exercise

    This exercise is designed to be used on a regular basis for working with and becoming aware of feeling. Feelings are how the body communicates its needs. Whatever you're doing in life, whatever you're working towards, in whatever way you're growing, it's necessary that every action you take resists something else. So we have many needs, but not all of them can be addressed or met at the same time. It's important therefore to regularly check in with what the body is telling us - what our emotions are telling us about other needs we may have set aside for a time. This exercise is also available in extended fifteen and twenty-minute versions in Hestia. This exercise uses active imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation. 🔥 Extended exercises and premium packs available in Hestia: https://hestia.makeitconscious.com/ ---------- Free Personality Dynamics Assessment: https://makeitconscious.com/pda/ Discover your psychological type and development pathway.
