In this moment—right now—you are creating. With every thought, every feeling, every assumption you hold as true, you are painting your reality with the brush of imagination. I'm speaking to the creator within you. Not the version that struggles, doubts, or waits for permission—but the version that already knows how to manifest through the elegant simplicity of pure imagination. This Reality Creator Activation isn't about escaping your current experience. It's about recognizing the immense power you already wield in each present moment. The ancient mystics understood it. Quantum physics confirms it. The universe responds not to what you want or hope for, but to what you imagine as already true. Most people spend their lives imagining what they fear, what they lack, what might go wrong—never realizing they're using the same creative faculty that could manifest abundance, healing, and joy. The difference is simply where you place your attention and how vividly you imagine. Let me take you into the imaginal realms to activate your reality creation power.  

Unlock your mind's hidden wisdom—explore active imagination for personal insight and growth! --- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode, Charlie and Brian dive into _active imagination_, a technique developed by Carl Jung, which allows individuals to engage deeply with their unconscious mind to explore personal insights and growth. They guide listeners through the four stages of active imagination: _invitation, dialogue, cataloging, and ritualization_. The discussion includes practical advice, such as being mindful of the distinction between daydreaming and active imagination, and offers strategies to safely engage in this practice. They stress the importance of journaling and personal interpretation, avoiding standard symbolism guides, and suggest various ways to ritualize insights gained through this process. Charlie also recommends the book _Inner Work_ by Robert A. Johnson for further exploration of active imagination and dream work. Concluding with a unique self-directed prayer, Charlie invites listeners to consider active imagination as a powerful tool for self-discovery.

“I will do my best to be my best and leave the world and the people I meet a little better than when I found them.”   These twenty-five words, said from the heart, represent nature's highest calling to all living things: to reach their potential and contribute to their species and the whole . . .   All it takes is this commitment to do your best to be your best – days, serial entrepreneur Ben Lytle, author of THE PURSUIT OF WISDOM, as that's how he led and launched seven successful companies to date, creating billions in market value, including New York Stock Exchange-listed Acordia, Inc. and Anthem (now Elevance Health), which have a current market value of more than $120 billion. He also co-founded Silver Sneakers, a fitness program designed for older adults that became one of the world's largest exercise programs.   Sharing his knowledge now as an author of THE POTENTIALIST series, his latest installment, The Pursuit of Wisdom was published Fall of 2024. He shares the importance of wisdom and its practice in everything from business to intimacy in relationships. The series is intended as a guidebook for success during the fast-changing, turbulent, and opportunity-rich times ahead—named The Fourth Industrial Revolution by the World Economic Forum.   Ben's devotion to individual and collective human potential through accelerated wisdom guides much of his work and sharing.   Among many nuggets, Ben Lytle shares about leadership, human potential, and wisdom from THE POTENTIALIST: The Pursuit of Wisdom                                                                     Human potential has consistently been underestimated. Humanity, especially its leaders, has yet to grasp this timeless truth.                                         How can I be sure that my intentions are genuine and my actions are consistent?                     Gratitude is powerful in its presence or absence.   If you struggle with judging yourself, you are trapped in the ego's cognitive distortion of perfection, which does not exist in nature and cannot exist in you.   Inside everyone, buried more deeply in some, lies a craving for an ecstatic connection called intimacy that unites us with others and all things in nature.   Humanity will achieve an unprecedented elevation in potential and wisdom when intimate relationships are as familiar as social acquaintances are today.   Intimacy, unconditional love, and empathy are not subject to the law of consumption but to infinity, from which they are derived. The more we give, the more we have available to offer.   Intimacy may be the most potent force we experience in life.                                           Think of intimacy as a healthy contagion spreading outward and altering every person and thing you touch.   Intimacy is the North Star of the art of living well, our most basic need, our highest calling, and the surest path to potential and wisdom.   Fear owns you, or you own it. Only you can decide who's in charge.   Adversity is a teacher, not a punishing warden.   What we spend time with and where we spend our time makes who we are. Decisions made wisely throughout life accelerate potential and wisdom.   At family intimacy, unconditional love and belonging are, at their best, protective membranes between you and the rest of the world from birth to death.   It is impossible to become wise without gratitude.   Many people remain tragically defined by inaccurate memories that limit their potential and quality of life.                                                      Questions to ponder:   • Will working and living with humanlike automation emphasize or blur my human distinctiveness?   • How do I integrate with automation like AI and robotics without losing my humanity?    • What security, backup, and controls should I insist on as my life increasingly depends upon more intelligent and competent automation?   • How do I prepare for career opportunities as automation assumes the grunt work and frees me for higher-value work that is creative, problem-solving, and involves complex relationships with humans and humanlike automation?   If institutions continue faltering, how, when, and on what matters will you fill the void they leave, protect your interests, and participate in reshaping them?   Will you lead wisely to heal polarizing issues in your orbit, or stay silent and hope someone else leads?   Will you develop and execute an adaptive strategy for a longer life in an aging society, or will you trust that the government or someone else will take care of you and yours?   How will my loved ones and I assess the choices and consequences to make the wisest possible decisions in a personalized world of expanding choices, individual initiative and productivity, and self-discovery?                                                                                   Active Imagination or visualize-to-realize is concentrated practice to learn and become what we imagine or visualize.   We can be only what we imagine, and what we imagine, we can exceed.   All-time problems are priority problems in disguise.   Everyone can contribute to democratizing wisdom by passing on their life experience as examples of wise and unwise actions and decisions.   The development of potential and wisdom becomes cumulative, accelerating you forward in an ecstatic experience of perpetual growth.   Ben Lytle is a self-made serial entrepreneur-CEO known for being ahead of the curve. He launched five successful companies, including two listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The best-known is Anthem, which is today twenty-ninth on the Fortune 500 with a market value of over $100 billion. He is a healthcare policy expert who served on state and presidential healthcare commissions, a governance leader with extensive public company experience, a senior athlete, a world traveler, a father of three children, and a grandfather to eight grandchildren. Ben's devotion to individual and collective human potential through accelerated wisdom guides his writing, speaking, entrepreneurial energy, and investments. He believes that people and organizations today underestimate the extent and speed with which they and the world will change. Time to prepare and adapt is being compressed, opportunities are missed, and unnecessary suffering will result unless prompt action is taken. He wrote The Potential: Your Future in the New Reality of the Next Thirty Years as a guide to success through wiser, timely actions and decisions in the opportunity-rich, turbulent times ahead. In the highly anticipated second installment of The Potential series, The Pursuit of Wisdom, Ben takes you on an uplifting journey to unleash your potential and accelerate the decision-making wisdom vital during the most significant change in human history.

Ben, a serial entrepreneur and attorney, mentioned writing a book series on tapping into human potential during the current era of great change aimed at his grandchildren and children. Navigating Transformation and Embracing Change Michael and Ben discussed the current period of significant transformation in humanity. Michael expressed his excitement about participating in this change and emphasized the importance of learning and understanding to navigate through it. Ben agreed, noting that historically, only a tiny percentage of people have thrived during significant change. He stressed the need to adapt actively and not fear these changes. Both agreed that change can be growth and that it's essential to recognize the opportunities it presents for humanity. They also touched on the fear of success and the importance of embracing change. Global Education, Wisdom, and Personal Growth Ben discussed the potential of reaching higher levels of education and learning worldwide, emphasizing the importance of using available information and knowledge wisely. He introduced his second book, which focuses on developing one's capacity for wisdom and making better decisions. Ben encouraged everyone to apply themselves and make significant progress in a short amount of time. Michael agreed, highlighting the importance of self-improvement and not comparing oneself to others. They both emphasized the potential for personal growth and the need to apply oneself differently. Exploring Wisdom, Personal Growth, and Healthcare Challenges Ben and Michael discussed the potential of wisdom being accessible to everyone and the importance of personal growth. Ben emphasized the role of self-doubt and the ego hindering personal development and suggested that understanding and woodworking with one's psychological body can improve decision-making and find purpose. Michael shared his experience of overcoming self-doubt and embracing change, highlighting the importance of being open to new opportunities. They also touched on the challenges and rewards of working in healthcare, with Michael noting the unpredictability of the field and the need for adaptability. The conversation concluded with Ben mentioning the integration of AI and brain science in technology, hinting at future developments in this area. Addressing Global Challenges With AI and Robotics Ben and Michael discussed the world's challenges, particularly the declining population and the need for increased productivity to sustain economies. They emphasized the importance of technologies like AI and robotics in healthcare and other sectors in addressing these issues. Ben highlighted the need for a shift in mindset from fear to embracing these technologies for their potential benefits. Michael agreed, noting the need for more clinicians and caregivers and the necessity of moving fast on AI and robotics while ensuring safety and caution. They concluded that the world needs to start thinking about accelerating the learning process and getting more people into the system to address these challenges. Addressing Declining Birth Rates and Aging Populations Michael and Ben discussed the implications of declining birth rates and aging populations on infrastructure and economic growth. They noted that countries like Canada and Italy are experiencing a significant decline in new births, which could lead to a shortage of skilled workers and a reduced tax base. Ben emphasized the need for proactive measures, particularly in healthcare, to address these issues. They also touched on the challenges faced during the pandemic, such as surgery delays and access to diagnosis. Enhancing Healthcare Productivity With Technology Ben and Michael discussed the need for innovation and productivity enhancement in healthcare, particularly in the face of a shortage of healthcare workers. They emphasized the importance of leveraging technology to support healthcare professionals rather than replacing them. They also highlighted the need for a shift in mindset from caution and distraction to proactive problem-solving and preparation for the future. Ben suggested that the current reality requires healthcare professionals to operate at the top of their licenses and that technology can help achieve this. They concluded by expressing optimism for the future, with Ben referring to it as the "age of expanding human potential." Enhancing Human Capabilities With Technology Ben and Michael discussed the potential of technology to enhance human capabilities, such as memory and decision-making. Ben emphasized the importance of the United States leading in this area, as it could significantly impact the world. He also shared his website, potentialistfuture.com, where people can find more about his work and books. Michael appreciated Ben's insights and encouraged others to follow him. They also touched on the importance of self-awareness and ego management in personal growth.

As the description. I explore the intersection of psychology and philosophy, east and west, light and dark, good vs evil: inversion to the opposite. Enantiadromia.

Creativity flows when our hearts and minds are open, and tightens when we grasp onto particular ideas of outcome. It tends to hide from us when we take ourselves too seriously. Lightness of spirit is key. "Lila" is a Hindu term that has many layers. It describes the effortless play between the relative world and the absolute. Lila manifests when when fullness, unable to contain itself, spills over into creation. This episode includes a 7-minute talk about creativity that alludes to Carl Jung's method of Active Imagination and the benefits of paying attention to our dreams. If you wish to skip over the talk, the meditation begins at about 7:40.

I invited my friend and colleague Leslie Ellis tohave a conversation about Active Imagination in therapy and in life.

Carl Gustav Jung, the mythopoetic mirror to Freud's trauma-focused psychology, spoke of a concept he coined "Active Imagination“. An intuitive process of letting your own imagination unfold by drinking from the waters of the collective consciousness. In this conversation we juxtapose both this "AI“ and the more commonly known "AI“ aka Artificial Intelligence. Joined by special guest Fredrik Høyer, a Norwegian slam poet, author and dramatist, we take a meandering and overflowing journey through these mythic borderlands pregnant with the unrealised potential of dreams.

Today Dimmer talks to Canadian psychologist and psychoanalyst, Susan Meindl about Jungian themes and Active Imagination. Q couldn't make this episode, but don't worry, he'll be back for the next. See below for details of Susan's presentation to the C G Jung Society of Montreal! Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On: The Role of Fantasy in Jungian Life A lecture by Susan Meindl  Friday, April 12th  7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. (EDT) A short video clip about her presentation  https://youtu.be/w7bOW_Temg   Susan Meindl is a psychologist and psychoanalyst in private practice in Montreal, Canada   Active imagination is considered one of the “four pillars” of Jungian psychology. There are, however, many naturally and intuitively entered-into mental activities which draw on the same human capacities as active imagination, but without an intentional therapeutic effect. For individuals with a strong capacity for imagination, fantasy life can be alluring, treacherous and for some, addictive. What happens when active imagination escapes the analyst's office and wanders around “wild” in the psychological world?  Jung was aware of some of the dangers, but he also felt that active imagination was a powerful adjunct to dreams as a way of connecting to deeper parts of ourselves, individuating and creating a living relationship with our unconscious. Please join me for this lecture and seminar in which we will explore some of the fascinating, and often revealing, aspects of fantasy and imagination.   Parallel Lives: Disorders and Delights of Fantasy and imagination A Seminar with Susan Meindl Saturday, April 13th.   1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. (EDT) Information and registration links sites.google.com/site/cgjungmontreal Susan Meindl, M.A., O.P.Q., c.o.Psychologist/PsychologueContact me: susan.meindl@gmail.com514 261-0591Read my articles on-line: http://ezinearticles.com/?expert_bio=Susan_Meindl Here's the 'grass roots' paper Dimmer couldn't remember the name of.

Join sculptor and poet Don Freas, author of In-Between: Creativity Set Free and Swallowing the World: New and Selected Poems, in a rich exploration of the relationship between meditation and creativity. Don describes how his practice of Liangong, a form of Qigong, deepens his somatic awareness in the studio and in life. He explains how his process of journaling, partly inspired by Robert A. Johnson's book Inner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growth, has deepened self-inquiry, and thereby, self-compassion. Don lets us in on his decades-long conversation with an inner wisdom figure he calls Sophie, a voice who regularly encourages his intuition and questions him when he goes off track. He describes Sophie as “a voice from the long history of humanity, or of the universe.” Don shares insights gained from many sources, including spiritual teacher Byron Katie, physicist David Bohm, Jungian analyst Robert A. Johnson, and Akashic Records teacher Linda Howe. Don takes us on a deep dive into the “material meditation” of making art. “When you look back,” he says, “your own accrued shape appears in the spaces between the things you've fashioned.”Don holds an MFA in Poetry from Bennington College and lives in Olympia, Washington, where an upcoming exhibit of his sculpture will take place at Childhood's End Art Gallery.

Inspired by the work of Carl Jung, this practice of cultivating a "waking dream" helps you to access the wisdom of your subconscious. In Jungian psychology, this technique is called “Active Imagination." Episode 6 of this podcast offers a similar version of this guided visualization with different music. Jung recorded his waking visions in his extraordinary illustrated journal, The Red Book. His meditative technique was recreated by MJ Dorian on his podcast Creative Codex. For deeper instruction, read "Inner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growth" by Robert A. Johnson. This meditation is a deep dive to be undertaken with care.

This podcast is focused on the Shamanic World. The Shamanic World is a spiritual world accessible through Imaginative Consciousness of our Soul. In Shamanic View, this spiritual reality is known as The Shamanic World, The Shamanic Cosmos, or, The Spirit World. In Sufism and Neoplatonic View, it is referred to as The Mundus Imaginalis, The Imaginal World, Daimonic Reality, or the Domain of the Soul. Or, in Depth or Archetypal Psychology, this reality is referred to as The Unconscious, The Mundus Archetypus, and The World of Archetypal Images. There are other names given to this hidden spiritual reality, such as Astral, Subtle, or Celestial World. Dreams are one of the gateways, through which we can access these unconscious contents in the Shamanic World.

This is a special guided meditation episode which takes you on a journey to meet your inner child and start a dialogue with them. It is inspired by Dr. Carl Jung's active imagination method.  My hope is that this meditation will introduce you to a new way of relating to your inner world. A way that is playful and engages one of the most powerful and seemingly overlooked tools humans have: imagination. In becoming familiar with the method of active imagination, and how to engage a dialogue with a part of your unconscious, we will have a way to not only understand Jung's theories in the following Jung & Alchemy series, but to also experience them. --------- Read the session notes from 3 of my Inner Child meditaitons here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/guided-inner-82881641?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link --------- Join the Creative Codex mailing list: https://mjdorian.com/mail/ --------- Support Creative Codex on my Patreon and get access to exclusive episodes, including the Kurt Cobain series and all the Episode Exclusives: https://www.patreon.com/mjdorian Buy me a coffee or add to my fancy books fund on Venmo: https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3235189073379328069&created=1681912456.228596&printed=1 ———— Executive Producers (Dream Maker Tier): Mike Hill, Kurt Ward Written & Produced by MJDorian ———— Connect with me on social media for all the newest updates: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/creativecodex Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mjdorian/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mjdorian TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mjdorian --------- Creative Codex is written & produced by MJDorian.

Nightmares. We all have them. But what exactly do they mean? Why do we have bad dreams? Is there any psychological meaning behind them? Nightmares are the source of much of the horror we see in stories, myths, movies and games. They are an encounter with the dark side of the unconscious, which often includes facing some of the most painful aspects of who we are. And one does not know what that part of oneself is, until one confronts it. Nightmares are the most substantial and vitally important dreams, and are of therapeutic value. They wake us up with a cry, as if all our repressed content forms a bubble which expands until it bursts one night, and we experience a nightmare. They are the shock therapy nature uses on us when we are too unaware of some psychological danger, and shock us out of deep unconscious sleepiness about some dangerous situation. As if the unconscious says, “Look here, this problem is urgent!” The psyche tells us to “wake up” and face what we have neglected. The majority of nightmares represent opportunities for personal healing through much-needed emotional release. ☕ ⁠Donate a coffee⁠ ⭐ ⁠Support on Patreon⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (3:00) Dream-Motifs in Nightmares (3:37) Lilith: The First Nightmare (5:07) The Origin & Folklore of Nightmares (9:09) Non-REM Sleep (Night Terrors) (10:36) REM Sleep (Nightmares) (11:43) Nightmare in Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment (15:40) Fever Dreams and Franz Kafka (17:36) Post-Traumatic Nightmares and Recurring Nightmares (19:00) Precognitive Nightmares (20:36) Carl Jung and The Meaning of Dreams (26:07) The Shadow and Nightmares (28:32) The Devouring Mother Archetype (30:39) Active Imagination (33:08) Lucid Dreaming (36:14) Nightmares and Artists (37:40) Nightmare Artists: Beksiński and Giger

After practicing Two Way Prayer for nearly a year, Donna began a still deeper journey to depths of her Inner World. Her loving Higher Power encouraged her to invite DonDon, her inner child, to come sit with them at their morning table of prayer. So began a long series of inner dialogues that helped knit together the shattered life of a little girl who lost her father at the age of eight if not long before. These moving dialogues lift Donna's prayer life into the healing sunlight of the Spirit. You'll want to listen in as her Kid has a message of love and encouragement directed to each of our own. Show Notes: To write to Donna please send a note through TwoWayPrayer@gmail.com Robert Johnson's book Inner Work serves as a guide for those ready to bring Jung's practice of Active Imagination into their prayer lives.

This guided visualization is based on a near-death experience described by Carl Jung in his memoir Memories, Dreams, and Reflections. Jung experienced this vision as he hung on the edge of death after a heart attack. Following a brief relaxation exercise, you will be guided through Jung's vision as if you are experiencing it for yourself. Feel free to replace the particularities of his vision with your own and let it unfold as it wishes. Tess on Insight TimerTess on YouTubeTess's novels: https://tesscallahan.com/

Tess joins us as we dissect dreams, active imagination, the fantasy of healing. Can we often get too caught up in our own healing? What does it mean to live our inner animal? How can we work with our dreams and imagination? What Disney character did you have a crush on? These are just a few of the questions we unpack in this episode.Mary Oliver - Wild GeeseYou do not have to be good.You do not have to walk on your kneesfor a hundred miles through the desert repenting.You only have to let the soft animal of your bodylove what it loves.Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.Meanwhile the world goes on.Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rainare moving across the landscapes,over the prairies and the deep trees,the mountains and the rivers.Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,are heading home again.Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,the world offers itself to your imagination,calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -over and over announcing your placein the family of things.Links:Shadow and Evil in Fairy Tales - Marie-Louis von FranzAbout Tess:Tess Huntington considers herself a “feral fairy”.

"The PERSONA is our somewhat embellished view of ourselves, the shiny face that we like the world to see. Its opposite, everything we reject about ourselves, is called the SHADOW." Carl Jung by Gary Bobroff In this episode we explore Jung's concept of 'The Shadow', how it might impact our voice and how to identify and bring it into consciousness. Using dreams, active imagination and an examination of our own projections, we can identify not only the darker more unwelcome opinions and thoughts we might be working hard to surpress, but also hidden treasure that didn't fit in our family of origin. The Books I recommend are: Meeting The Shadow - The Hidden Power of the Dark Side of Human Nature by Zweig and Abrahms Romancing The Shadow by Zweig and Abrahms and Subpersonalities - The People Inside Us by John Rowan If you would like to book a free 15 minute meeting with me go to: FREE 15 Minute Meeting      

After referring to my training in Voice Movement Therapy over several episodes, I thought it was about time it got an episode to itself! Voice Movement Therapy or VMT is, at its core, an expressive arts therapy that uses the singing voice as its primary tool of expression. I trained in VMT with its founder Paul Newham in London from 1998-2000. It has informed all of my work since then.  In this episode I discuss: A brief history of VMT The two parallel elements that run through it  The physical development of the voice and  The creative and therapeutic development of the self.  Some of the vocal components.  How we incorporate many of Carl Jung's teachings, especially  Active Imagination and work on the personal and collective Shadow. Why I think VMT is one of the most non-discriminatory methods of vocal training currently available.  If you are interested in finding out more about VMT visit www.iavmt.org where you will also find details for the next training.

“Active Imagination" is a technique designed by Carl Jung to access subconscious wisdom.  Jung recorded his waking visions induced by active imagination in his extraordinary illustrated journal, The Red Book. His meditative technique was recreated by MJ Dorian on his podcast Creative Codex. For deeper instruction, read "Inner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growth" by Robert A. Johnson. This meditation is a deep dive to be undertaken with care. If you have a history of schizophrenia or psychotic disorder, consult with your doctor before using this meditation. Relax and enjoy. Tess Callahan, Ed.M., MFA, is a certified Mindfulness Meditation teacher and author of the novel APRIL & OLIVER. She invites you to attune to your own creative powers through intimate inner listening.

In today's talk, internationally respected author and Jungian analyst Robert A Johnson speaks about the practice of active imagination, a practice that for C. G. Jung was just as important as working with dreams. With the inclusion of evocative and practical examples, Robert describes the four steps involved in active imagination toward psychological dialogue, integration and balance.  

Reading from Robert A. Johnson's “Inner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growth” (2009).Robert A. Johnson (May 26, 1921 – September 12, 2018) was an American Jungian analyst and author. Johnson was born in Portland, Oregon. He studied at the University of Oregon and Stanford University. In 1945, he went to Ojai, California, as a student of Jiddu Krishnamurti, an Indian spiritual teacher. In 1947 he began his own therapy with Fritz Künkel. He later studied at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zürich, Switzerland, where Emma Jung, the wife of C. G. Jung, was his principal analyst. He completed his analytical training with Künkel and Tony Sussman. He established an analytical practice in Los Angeles in the early 1950s with Helen Luke. In the early 1960s he closed his practice and became a member of St. Gregory's Abbey, Three Rivers, in Michigan, a Benedictine monastery of the Episcopal Church.After four years in the monastery, Johnson returned to California in 1967. He resumed his career as a psychotherapist and lectured at St. Paul's Cathedral in San Diego, working closely with John A. Sanford, an Episcopal priest, Jungian analyst, and author. In 1974, a collection of his lectures was published as He: Understanding Masculine Psychology. The book became a bestseller after Harper & Row acquired the rights. He was the first of many books giving a Jungian interpretation, in accessible language, of earlier myths and stories and their parallels with psychology and personal development.Johnson also studied at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, India. In 2002 he received an honorary doctorate in humanities and a lifetime achievement award from Pacifica Graduate Institute.Johnson lived in San Diego, California, where he died in September 2018 at the age of 97.•••If you enjoyed this episode and want me to continue sharing work I find in the course of my Soul Studies, please let me know!

Imagination shapes how we experience reality, because everything in reality is an expression, and every expression is an imagination that has come to its realization.Imagination is an act of “seeing”, not seeing as we see the material world using our eyes, but rather seeing the imaginal world using an inner eye, an eye that can be referred to as the third eye or “the eye of the heart”. Imagination is powerful, because it is neither bounded by physical dimensions nor trapped by the axis of time. Imagination has another important quality, which is its deep desire to be expressed. That is why our imagination shames our reality and how we experience life. The purpose of this presentation is to explain how imagination does that. This podcast covers the following topics:- What is imagination? - What types of imagination can we experience (Passive, Creative, and Active Imagination)?- How does our imagination shape our reality? - And, how to utilize the power of imagination to transform ourselves?       This podcast is produced by Aion Farvahar, who is a Life and Spirituality Mentor, and a Psychoshamanic and IFS Self-Leadership Practitioner.

This exercise will help you experiment with Carl Jung's concept of Active Imagination. This is shadow work at its finest! Active Imagination is the conscious intention to engage the unconscious in waking life by focusing on some image from the psyche and letting it have a life of it's own. This is a fun one that's worth playing around with a bit.

Shamanic Journey is a Self-Guided Expedition into the Imaginal World of the Psyche. In this podcast, we go over Shamanic Journey basics, and provide a description of the Imaginal World, the world of images, accessible through Shamanic Journeying, and C.G. Jung's Active Imagination. We cover the following topics:- What does make Shamanic Journey different than Meditation? - Basic Elements of a Shamanic Journey (boundary, intention, and sonic driver)- Shamanic Journey and the Imaginal World of the Psyche (Mundus Imaginalis) - Practicing A Brief Shamanic Drum Journey Demo The term imaginal world does not mean an imaginary world. It rather a world that “exists in images”. The term Imaginal was first coined by Henry Corbin, famous French Theologian. Corbin introduced the concept of Mundus Imaginalis, or the Imaginal World. The Mundus Imaginalis can also be thought as the World of the Soul, a world that is empirically observed through the organ of Soul or Heart, through Imagination or Imaginative Consciousness. All mystical and altered states of consciousness access this imaginal world to various degrees. This podcast is produced by Aion Farvahar, who is a Life and Spirituality Mentor, and a Psychoshamanic and IFS Self-Leadership Practitioner.

Physicians can experience grief, guilt, isolation, and despondency over a patient's death.  But doctors are trained not to express too much emotion or show any sign of weakness.  Without proper help, these can also lead to physician burnout.   Dr. Jonathan Fisher, a Harvard-trained physician, and a practicing cardiologist had years of battling with depression, burnout, and grief from his sister's passing.  He shares with us his struggles and road to recovery.  Now, as a mindfulness practitioner, his life's purpose is to help others learn “heartful living”.   Tune in and be inspired!   “I've got top patient rating scores.  Within my group I'm respected.  But people don't know that I struggled with anxiety and depression.  They haven't told me but I know my partners are struggling with the same thing.” - Jonathan Fisher, MD     Episode Highlights: (02:10)  A family of physicians (05:49)  Burnout in residency (09:28)  Grief over patients' deaths (10:50)  Discovering the concept of metrics (14:08)  Road to recovery (20:39) Practicing meditation and positive psychology (24:09) Paying it forward   Resources Mentioned: Linkedin Group Ending Physician Burnout Global Summit: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8988416/ Brene Brown: https://brenebrown.com/ Carl Jung on Active Imagination: https://www.amazon.com/Jung-Active-Imagination-C-G/dp/0691015767   Connect with Dr. Jonathan Fisher: Website Novant Health Linkedin Facebook Page Twitter Instagram   Watch this episode: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MLv6uCDYxQ   Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond   We would love to hear your feedback.  Send us your review on Apple Podcasts/Itunes, or in other directories through this link: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/physicians-on-purpose-1546320

This episode is the first in a 4-part series about how to get control over your negative thinking so that you can shift from fear into love, in life, and in your relationships.  This series on how to improve your negative thinking offers 10 tools to help you shush your negative self-talk and thoughts.  It teaches you to deal with external stressors and negative thoughts internally first, so you can shift the energy in easy ways from the inside-out.  These tools are taken from Dr. Paulette Sherman's new book, 'The Gremlin: 10 Tools to Shush that Negative Voice in your Head.' So, if you want a paperback version to take around with you so you can memorize these tools, please click the link above.  Dr. Sherman felt this series would be timely right now, not only regarding your relationships but because these tools can also be applied to the level of fear swirling about concerning the Coronavirus.  Oftentimes we can't control external things but we can make loving choices about which thoughts we choose to focus on and why. In this episode, we will cover: -What is the Gremlin- that voice in your head that tries to protect you by scaring you -Why that voice is internalized and how it's not your true self. -How to recognize the Gremlin voice and begin to challenge it. -The tool of Active Imagination-how to dialogue with that negative voice and challenge it so you feel more in control.  You will learn how to have a written conversation with specific fears, to put them on a loudspeaker and to find the exceptions so you can talk yourself down from the ledge. In the following episode, you'll learn 2 MORE tools to add to your arsenal, so keep listening:) My hope is that you will begin to shift from fear into love in your life and relations, more and more.
