Body as Shadow: Jung's Method of Embodied Healing is Jungian analyst Erica Lorentz's passionate, clinically grounded argument that Jung's psychology was never meant to be “head-only.” It was always an embodied practice, one that asks us to meet psyche where it actually lives: in sensation, emotion, energy, imagination, and what Jung called the somatic unconscious or subtle body. At the heart of the book is Lorentz's central method: embodied active imagination, a way of working in which inward attention to a symptom, sensation, or emotion becomes a portal into imaginal material and archetypal depths, without forcing interpretation or prematurely translating experience into words. This approach is shaped by her long apprenticeship in Authentic Movement (also known as Movement as Active Imagination), where the psyche is allowed to emerge through the body in a protected relational container and a non-directive witnessing stance. Lorentz argues that many modern approaches to trauma and psychotherapy remain constrained by a left-brain bias: we attempt to heal through insight, narrative, and cognitive explanation, while the original wound and the original healing energy often sits below language. Drawing on Jung's own words from the Zarathustra Seminar, she emphasizes the mysterious interlocking place where body and psyche become indistinguishable: where we cannot know if we are in matter or in psyche, because we are in both. Throughout the book, Lorentz bridges what is too often split in Jungian circles: developmental work and archetypal work. She insists that when we work with complexes, we must come to terms not only with childhood roots, but with the archetypal core “on its own ground”, because the archetype is not a metaphor; it is a force, and one we encounter in a bodily way. Erica Lorentz, M.Ed., L.P.C., is a Jungian analyst (IAAP) and training analyst at the C. G. Jung Institute of New England. With early roots in dance and decades of experience in Authentic Movement (Movement as Active Imagination), she integrates depth psychology with embodied and imaginal approaches to healing. Trained in object relations and shaped by clinical work with autistic and psychotic youth, she has taught and lectured widely on Jung, the body, and embodied active imagination across the US, Canada, the UK, and internationally, including teaching in India in 2024.

Der Möglichmacher Podcast mit Jan Schmiedel - Erkennen ist krasser als tun!
In unserer Zeit gilt Exzellenz als höchste Tugend. Wer sichtbar sein will, soll liefern. Wer dazugehören will, soll sich optimieren. Wer Wert haben will, soll funktionieren. Dieses Denken prägt Arbeit, Beziehungen, Spiritualität und Selbstbilder. Es erzeugt Anerkennung und gleichzeitig innere Distanz zum eigenen Wesen. In dieser Folge von Gedankenkompass mit Jan Schmiedel stelle ich dem Leistungsnarrativ einen Satz von C. G. Jung gegenüber: „Lieber ganz als gut." Ich spreche über mentale Intelligenz als Fähigkeit, die eigenen inneren Anteile wahrzunehmen, statt sie hinter Rollen und Idealen zu verstecken. Ich öffne den Raum für Schattenintegration als Schlüssel zu mentaler Gesundheit und innerer Freiheit. Ganzheit bedeutet, dass Wut, Scham, Neid, Angst und Sehnsucht wieder Teil des inneren Gesprächs werden. Transformationsprozesse beginnen dort, wo ein Mensch sich selbst ernst nimmt, statt sich weiter zu perfektionieren. Selbstermächtigung entsteht durch Bewusstsein, nicht durch Anpassung. Perspektivwechsel entsteht durch Tiefe, nicht durch Tempo. Ich verbinde Jungs Begriffe von Persona, Selbst, Archetypen und Ethik der Individuation mit meiner eigenen Erfahrung von Heilung und innerer Wandlung. Diese Folge richtet sich an Menschen, die spüren, dass Optimierung kein Zuhause ist und dass Würde aus innerer Stimmigkeit wächst. Diese Episode fordert heraus, weil sie ein verbreitetes Ideal berührt. Sie lädt ein, Leistung neu zu sehen und den eigenen Wert jenseits von Rollen zu entdecken. Sie zeigt, wie mentale Gesundheit aus Ganzheit entsteht und wie mentale Intelligenz zur Fähigkeit wird, sich selbst zu begegnen. „Lieber ganz als gut" wird in dieser Folge zu einer inneren Entscheidung. Für Bewusstsein. Für Wahrheit. Für ein Leben, das den ganzen Menschen meint. Hier geht es zum Buch: https://buchshop.bod.de/ Jan, der moderne Skalde - Worte, die wirken! Ich bin Jan Schmiedel, ein moderner Skalde. Meine Reise ist meine Botschaft – eine Suche nach Klarheit, Wahrheit und dem Mut, sich selbst zu begegnen. In einer Welt, die dich mit Erwartungen und Lärm überflutet, glaube ich daran, dass wahre Freiheit nur entsteht, wenn du bereit bist, deine eigene Dunkelheit zu durchschreiten und dein Licht zu entdecken. Hier geht es nicht um Perfektion, sondern um Authentizität. Nicht darum, zu gefallen, sondern darum, zu erkennen, wer du wirklich bist. Ich lade dich ein, die Ketten zu sprengen, die du dir selbst angelegt hast, und den Weg zu gehen, der nur dir gehört. Gemeinsam erforschen wir die Pfade, die zu deinem wahren Selbst führen. Es geht nicht darum, etwas zu tun – es geht darum, zu sein. Zu fühlen. Zu wachsen. Die Weisheit liegt nicht in der Antwort, sondern in der Frage, die du dir selbst stellst. Wenn du bereit bist, die Masken fallen zu lassen und dich deiner eigenen Wahrheit zu stellen, begleite ich dich. Nicht als Lehrer, sondern als Weggefährte. Dein Licht und deine Freiheit sind keine Ziele – sie sind bereits in dir. Mein Weg hat mich dazu gebracht, dass ich eine schwere Depression mit suizidalität und einer komplexern Traumafolgestörung selber geheilt habe. Willst du mehr über diesen Weg erfahren? Finde mich auf meiner Webseite: Wahre Freiheit beginnt mit radikaler Ehrlichkeit – dir selbst gegenüber. #Selbsterkenntnis #JanSchmiedel #ErkennenIstLeben #MentaleFreiheit #Transformation #Perspektivwechsel #Selbstermächtigung #AuthentischSein #LebenImLicht
Ep 225 One World in a New World with Paul Joseph RovelliWhat happens when creativity, spirituality, philosophy, and lived experience collide in a single life? In this episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes Paul Joseph Rovelli—author, musician, philosopher, and founder of the Gnostic Church of Light—for a wide-ranging conversation on genius, sovereignty, consciousness, and the lifelong journey of becoming fully oneself.In this episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel sits down with Paul Joseph Rovelli, founder and director of the Gnostic Church of Light, author, pianist, and host of The Gnostic Rebellion. What unfolds is a raw, intellectually rich dialogue exploring creativity, spirituality, individuation, sovereignty, art, mysticism, and the responsibility of self-creation.Paul shares his journey through Catholicism, punk culture, philosophy, music, metaphysics, and Gnostic thought—examining how genius emerges, how identity is formed, and why true awakening requires ownership rather than belief. Together, Zen and Paul explore paradox, ego, oneness, duality, culture, and the challenge of remaining human, creative, and awake in a complex world.This episode invites inquiry into:The nature of genius and self-acknowledgmentCreativity as a spiritual pathSovereignty, responsibility, and individuationWhy ancient wisdom must evolve for modern timesConsciousness, culture, and the myths we live byThis is not a conversation for passive consumption.It is an invitation to think, feel, and question deeply.If you're curious about spirituality beyond doctrine, leadership beyond conformity, and the courage it takes to fully claim your own path—this dialogue invites you in.
In this episode, Colter, Lauren, and Cayla unpack the second pillar of a secure relationship: individuation—the idea that what it's like to be me is different than what it's like to be you. They explore how differences in processing, upbringing, values, and sensory experiences can turn from “cute quirks” into major points of conflict when partners feel right/wrong instead of just different. You'll hear real-life examples, role plays, and practical questions you can take back to your own relationship to build more curiosity, compassion, and realistic expectations of each other. Main Talking Points: • External vs. internal processors • Individuation and attachment • Everyday differences in conflict • Sensory and value clashes • Curiosity over being “right” • Conversation prompts for couples Give Me Discounts!

Jess reflects on the Widow's Oil from the Book of Kings, the alchemical stages of nigredo, albedo, and rubedo, heightened intuition, mirror dynamics, compassion, and what it means to start from the pinnacle rather than the bottom.A transmission for those walking the deeper layers of consciousness — especially those carrying large visions that must be protected, not explained.Feminine consciousness and non-linear storytellingThe Widow's Oil: abundance, vessels, and structureWhy miracles happen in silenceClosing the door to protect faith, vision, and momentumIndividuation as an archetypal journeyThe alchemical stages:Nigredo – the dark night of the soulAlbedo – the return to light and orientationRubedo – integration and embodimentHeightened intuition and seeing what others cannot seeBecoming a mirror — and why others may reactDream symbolism as spiritual signpostingCompassion, forgiveness, and broken-heartednessEmpathy vs. empath identityWorking privately on a sacred visionDopamine, fantasy, and premature disclosureStarting from the pinnacle rather than the bottomWhy manifesting at the highest level can feel easierEnthusiasm as a frequency that attracts resources, people, and wealth(0:02) Welcome to the Spiritualised Podcast(0:08) Sharing a personal spiritual update(0:32) A feminine, non-linear journey through consciousness(1:05) The story of the Widow's Oil(2:47) Abundance requires vessels and structure(3:22) “Shut the door” — privacy, silence, and miracles(4:30) Leadership, action, and the absence of hesitation(5:58) Individuation and the alchemical journey(6:05) Nigredo: the dark night of the soul(7:27) Albedo: returning to the light(8:05) Moving through deeper layers of darkness and light(9:06) Heightened intuition and deep perception(11:12) Seeing soul contracts and unconscious agreements(11:46) Becoming a mirror for others(13:12) Symbolism, dreams, and orientation(13:54) A dream of ascent, thresholds, and initiation(17:11) Signs of entering the albedo phase(19:25) Compassion, forgiveness, and broken-heartedness(21:25) Compassion through the Gene Keys lens(22:29) Protecting a sacred creation in silence(23:53) Dopamine, fantasy, and premature sharing(25:12) Starting from the pinnacle(26:36) Why high-level creation feels easier(28:49) Enthusiasm, community, and prosperityWhere in your life are you being asked to shut the door — not out of fear, but out of devotion to your vision?What vessels are you being called to create so abundance has somewhere to flow?www.goinward.co.ukwww.instagram.com/goinward
Erick Godsey returns to share a four-day vision quest, riff on altered states, meaning-making, Carl Jung and a personal encounter with a mysterious orb, UFO-like intelligence.
This episode is a transmission. Recorded live with a studio audience as part of our pilgrimage preparation, this conversation with Robert Edward Grant is a distilled journey into the mathematics of consciousness, the intelligence encoded in sacred sites, and the way reality reshapes itself through collective coherence. Robert is a true polymath — mathematician, inventor, artist, and explorer of ancient technologies — whose work bridges geometry, music, consciousness, and the mystery traditions. In this conversation, he reveals how pyramids function as mirrors of human awareness, why math may be the original language of God, and how sacred structures were designed to activate future timelines. This isn't about believing anything new.It's about remembering what you already know. If you've ever felt activated by sacred sites, fascinated by ancient civilizations, or curious about how consciousness actually shapes reality — this episode will land like a remembering. In this episode, we explore: • Why pyramids are mirrors of consciousness, not monuments • How math, music, and geometry encode spiritual intelligence • The role of individuation in divine awareness • How collective coherence creates “Mandela cascades” • Why ancient civilizations were far more advanced than we've been taught • How sacred sites communicate across timelines • What it means to bring heaven to earth — literally Key Moments: 00:00:01 — The pyramid as a mirror of consciousness 00:01:06 — Individuation as the universe's greatest value 00:02:21 — Why sacred sites activate you personally 00:03:36 — Can consciousness build structures through intention? 00:07:20 — Math as the language of God 00:11:08 — The musical notes hidden in pyramid geometry 00:12:53 — How Robert identified two previously unknown pyramids near Giza 00:15:04 — The 15th-century maps that revealed structures hiding in plain sight 00:26:02 — Collective coherence & shifting timelines 00:49:14 — Sacred sites as accelerators of remembrance About Robert Edward Grant Robert Edward Grant is a polymath, mathematician, artist, inventor, and consciousness researcher known for discovering new chambers in the Great Pyramid and identifying previously unknown pyramids on the Giza Plateau.

Individuation isn’t about becoming better. It’s about becoming whole. At 75, neurologist Oliver Sacks finally integrated the parts of himself he’d kept hidden—his sexuality, his need for love, his domestic life (who knew he kept a library of Jung's work). Bill Hayes talks intimately about Sacks’s late-life transformation which exemplifies Jung’s crucial insight: growth isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about integrating what you’ve exiled. The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in nonfiction, Bill Hayes is a frequent contributor to the New York Times and the author of seven books, including Sleep Demons; Five Quarts; The Anatomist; Insomniac City; and How We Live Now: Scenes from the Pandemic. His writing has also appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Review of Books, the New York Times “T” Style Magazine, BuzzFeed, and The Guardian. His most recent book, SWEAT: A History of Exercise, a narrative nonfiction look at exercise from antiquity to the present, is available now wherever books are sold. Hayes is also a photographer, with credits including The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and the New York Times. His portraits of his partner, the late Oliver Sacks, appear in the volume of Dr. Sacks's suite of final essays Gratitude. A collection of his street photography, How New York Breaks Your Heart, was published in 2018 by Bloomsbury. His photographs are available for sale as limited edition prints exclusively by CLAMP art gallery in New York City. Books by Bill Hayes: Patricia Martin, MFA, is the host of Jung in the World. A noted cultural analyst, she applies Jungian theory to her work as a researcher and writer. Author of three books, her work has been featured in the New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Huffington Post, and USA Today. She holds an MFA in writing and literature from Bennington College and an MA in cultural studies at the University College, Dublin (honors). In 2018, she completed the Jungian Studies Program at the C. G. Jung Institute Chicago where she is a professional affiliate.

Send us a textWhat if the lifelong hunt for meaning is just a game of hide and seek—where you're both the hider and the one who finds? We dive into a radical yet simple shift: end the chase, sit for five minutes as Christ, and remember the changeless awareness that's been here all along. From that place, the ego's urgency softens, and the world stops feeling like a problem to escape.We walk through a grounded practice for joining your humanity and divinity without bypassing life's messiness. Fog on your skin, a tense commute, or a hard conversation can become sacraments when you choose presence over panic. We explore how feeling your feelings—fully and without drama—ends the reflex to numb, control, or fix. Blessing the news becomes training for nervous system steadiness and compassion, giving you the freedom to act wisely without being captured by fear. The thread running through it all is audacious: there is only God. If that's true, what is left to fear?This conversation opens a door to oneness that's practical, not precious. Forgiveness becomes workable when the “other” is recognized as your own Self in another form. Your life—work, family, health—becomes an intentional curriculum, not a punishment. Waking up doesn't erase challenges; it reframes them as material for creativity, courage, and love. Five minutes a day as Christ isn't about performance; it's a tether to truth that can reshape your attention, your choices, and your joy.If this resonates, help more seekers find it: rate the show on Spotify or Apple, leave a one-line review, and share this episode with a friend who's tired of striving.

In a world filled with distractions and societal pressures, finding and stepping into your true identity can feel like a monumental task. In this enlightening podcast episode, Michael Trainer shares profound insights on the importance of individuation, using personal anecdotes and timeless wisdom to guide listeners on their journey to self-discovery. **Understanding Individuation** Michael Trainer opens the discussion by emphasizing the significance of drawing a line in the sand and embracing the identity that resonates with us. He recalls advice from his leadership coach, Peter Roche, who reminded him that we are the lead actors in our own movies. This metaphor encourages listeners to take control of their narratives, embodying the characters they aspire to be, such as the king, the warrior, or the lover. These archetypes have been part of human storytelling for centuries, and recognizing them can help us align with our deepest desires. **The Traditional Rite of Passage** Trainer reflects on the historical processes of individuation, where young men and women were guided through challenging rites of passage by elders. These experiences often required courage and a confrontation with fears, leading to a new identity and a profound sense of belonging. Unfortunately, in today's convenience-oriented culture, these traditional connections and rites of passage are often missing, leaving many feeling stuck in their childhood narratives and unprepared for adulthood. **The Importance of Letting Go** To fully embrace our potential, Trainer stresses the need to let go of old stories that no longer serve us. He shares a personal experience of slipping and injuring his wrist, using this incident as a metaphor for the importance of paying attention to life's signals. He highlights how injuries can teach us valuable lessons about health, patience, and resilience. In moments of struggle, we are reminded to reflect on our paths and take responsibility for our choices. **Finding Your Purpose** The conversation then shifts to the significance of stepping into our purpose, or Dharma. Trainer explains that when we neglect our true calling, life can feel chaotic and unsteady. However, when we stand firm in our convictions and embrace our roles within our communities, we can navigate challenges with greater ease. This self-awareness leads to empowerment, allowing us to transition from one life stage to another, whether it's from maiden to mother or prince to king. **Community and Support** Michael shares his own journey of individuation, which included participating in men's work with his father and engaging in transformative programs like the Mankind Project. He emphasizes the importance of community in this process, as being witnessed by others can facilitate growth and healing. However, he also acknowledges that not everyone has access to such experiences. Therefore, he encourages listeners to seek out mentors and peers who can inspire and challenge them to rise to their full potential. **Commitment to Growth** As Trainer reflects on his own life, he recognizes the need to surround himself with individuals who push him forward, not just those who provide comfort. He shares his commitment to returning to a supportive community in Austin, Texas, where he plans to embark on a new chapter in 2026, focusing on personal growth and the birthing of a new book. This commitment, while daunting, represents a significant step in his journey toward individuation. What happens when you finally decide to stop playing small?In this intimate solo episode, Michael dives into the ancient and deeply human process of individuation—the moment you step out of the outdated version of yourself and into the role you were always meant to inhabit.Drawing on wisdom from his leadership mentor, Peter Roche, and archetypes from myth and psychology, Michael explores why so many of us are living out childhood stories long after they've expired… and what it takes to cross the threshold into your next chapter.He shares a recent personal moment—a literal fall—that became a metaphor for the ways life tries to get our attention when we're not stepping fully into our gifts, purpose, and power.You'll hear:Why you're the lead actor in your own storyThe archetypes (King, Warrior, Magician, Lover) that shape your identityHow ancient rites of passage forged adults who could protect communityWhat happens when we avoid the identity we're called to liveHow injury, setback, or friction can be a spiritual signalWhy strong peers and “iron sharpens iron” relationships matterThe difference between karma and dharmaWhy stepping into your bigness is not arrogance but responsibilityMichael's commitment to a new chapter—and an invitation to begin your ownIf you've been feeling the pull toward a bigger life, deeper purpose, truer relationships, or a more courageous version of yourself… this episode is your line in the sand.**Conclusion: Key Takeaways** Michael Trainer's podcast serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of stepping into our true identities and the role of community in our journeys. Key takeaways include:- Embrace the idea that you are the lead actor in your life and have the power to shape your narrative.- Recognize the value of traditional rites of passage and seek out ways to create your own.- Let go of stories that no longer serve you and focus on your true purpose.- Surround yourself with a community that inspires growth and pushes you to reach your potential.- Commit to continuous personal development and be willing to embrace new chapters in your life.

Drawing on decades of training in Tibetan Buddhism and developmental psychology, John reveals how the Bodhisattva path—awakening not just for oneself, but for the benefit of all beings—offers a map for our individual and collective transformation.https://livemomentous.com and use code KNOWTHYSELF for up to 35% off the best creatine in the game20% off Pique Life Tea:https://www.piquelife.com/knowthyselfGuided Meditation: https://youtu.be/i_5WApfC1pMAndrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro 01:38 Humanity's Evolutionary Moment 03:14 Planetary Perspective & Spiritual Transition 04:15 AI as Symbol of Transformation 05:06 End of Time & Psychological Judgment Day 07:18 Destiny vs. Fate in a New Age 09:06 Shift into Love as a Developmental Stage 10:57 Individuation & Inner Sovereignty 12:00 Seven Stages of the Heart-Mind 13:32 What Is the Heart-Mind? 14:02 Reincarnation & Consciousness Evolution 16:02 Awakening in Animals & Soul Development 17:00 Beauty, Goodness & Truth vs. Ego Development 18:43 Ad – Momentous Creatine 19:04 Cartesian Split & Blossoming Intelligence 20:21 Stage 1 – Awakening the Heart Seed 23:06 Stage 2 – Emotional Healing & Astral Awareness 26:08 Stage 3 – Training the Mind & Sacred Sciences 33:15 Stage 4 – Stabilizing Heart-Mind & Path of the Bodhisattva 36:46 Pitfalls on the Spiritual Path 42:00 Stage 5 – Integration & Service46:22 Ad - Pique Life 48:30 Stage 6 – Transcendence & Non-Dual Awareness 56:00 Stage 7 – Embodied Wisdom & Planetary Participation 01:04:00 The Bodhisattva Path in Modern Times 01:11:00 Navigating Glamour & Spiritual Ego 01:18:00 The Role of Practice & Discipline 01:25:00 Collective Awakening & Cultural Healing 01:32:00 Mystical Science & Sacred Technology 01:39:00 The Return of the Sacred Academy 01:46:00 Inner Sovereignty & Social Transformation 01:53:00 Living from the Heart-Mind 02:00:00 Final Reflections & Call to Action 02:06:00 Conclusion ___________Episode Resources: https://www.planetarydharma.comhttps://www.instagram.com/planetarydharma/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com
DREAM WITH US, and we'll teach you how to interpret them!The devil archetype carries three qualities: it promotes bestial violence of every kind, it tries to convince us that the material world is the only reality, and it fools us into thinking we can spiritually ascend through intellect alone. On a personal level, it gathers our disowned infernal traits—envy, rage, greed, and the wish to dominate —and seduces us into believing those qualities are virtues. Once we face our own devilishness and grant it a symbolic form, we can assume a choiceful stance. Lacking that, we try to evacuate our own evil by projecting it onto others and then punishing them. As Jungians, we understand that our inferior function will first present as an imp. Still, with kind concern and thoughtful opportunities, it can transform into an uncanny ally that rescues us from malignant innocence. In its subtle form, the demonic attitude tempts us into literalism as it attacks our capacity to reflect and hold a symbolic attitude.

I recently watched a video posted by the owners of a female black labrador retriever who they took to an outdoor restaurant where they were grabbling a meal. The video showed the dog choosing to sit on a separate couch, all the way at the end, facing the opposite direction from it's owners while acting like she didn't want to have anything to do with them. The owners posted, “Our moody teenager who sat herself as far away as she possibly could from her parents. The nerve of this girl.” I chuckled a bit as we all remember our own teenage years and our desire, from time to time to NOT be seen with our parents. It's known as individuation, which is a normal developmental process where our kids want to develop their own sense of self and independence from their parents. But parents, realize this, they are still watching you. Your presence and influence are more important than ever, as you model and teach what it means to live as a faithful follower of Jesus Christ.

Moving beyond the fairytale, Jess reveals how this ancient story mirrors your energetic evolution: from innocence and overgiving, to awakening, discernment, and full sovereignty.You'll see how each character in the story — the evil stepmother, the fairy godmother, the prince — represents a part of your psyche.

Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!Episode 158: In this episode of Psychedelic Conversations, we reconnect with returning guest Fanny Norlin for a powerful and deeply personal exploration into feminine leadership, the existential mother wound, and the journey of individuation. We discuss how our inner and collective healing processes are shaped by ancestral patterns, projection, and the need for reconnection with feminine power, sensuality, and embodied strength. Fanny shares her insights on the importance of sisterhood, the challenges women face in reclaiming their inner authority, and how female sexuality plays a central role in individuation and self-trust. Together, we reflect on the obstacles women face in accessing their truth and the psychological, energetic, and historical layers that influence this path. This rich conversation invites us to sit with the complexities of the feminine psyche and opens the door to a new paradigm of grounded, conscious womanhood.Our Previous Conversation:https://youtu.be/9wwdikdq6mI?si=HDgsEgEVRvPk39lAbout Fanny:Fanny Norlin is the creator of Lifeforce Leadership, a groundbreaking approach that explores and integrates the core dimensions of feminine and masculine leadership, revolutionizing network-based and self-organizing organizations by unlocking the full potential of these dynamic forces in a creative and conscious interplay. A pivotal moment in her journey came through an introduction to the work of Lovisa Alsén, which sparked a deep awakening into her body and the feminine. This experience profoundly influenced her path as a leader and woman, unlocking essential keys to succeeding with new paradigm initiatives. For over a decade, she has lived and breathed decentralized networks and communities. She is a pioneer in self-organizing initiatives, bringing 10 years of combined C-level leadership and strategy consulting experience, including leading the marketing and tech team of an e-commerce company operating in 24 markets with 1 billion SEK in revenue. She has also founded two NGOs, facilitated leadership trainings for thousands of leaders, organized several large-scale participatory events, and played a key role in building Sweden's feminine leadership movement. At the heart of her work is a passionate commitment to making the world more alive.Connect with Fanny:Website: https://www.fannynorlin.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1C1HmKCDbV/?mibextid=wwXIfrThank you so much for joining us!

Divine Individuation: Remembering the Old Grammar Through a Modern Mind
Divine Individuation: Remembering the Old Grammar Through a Modern Mind
In this special episode, I sit down with renowned Jungian analyst Professor Murray Stein for a deep and wide-ranging conversation about Jung's core concepts: individuation, synchronicity, and kairos. We explore the mysteries of time, the nature of archetypes, the crisis of meaning in our era, and the role of consciousness in the cosmos. Along the way, we weave in personal stories, philosophical insights, and references to some of the most important works in depth psychology.Whether you're new to Jung or a longtime explorer of the psyche, I hope this episode inspires you to reflect on your own kairos moments and the deeper patterns shaping your life.Referenced Books, Ideas, and People:C.G.

Divorce can indeed serve as a threshold to self-realization, individuation, and even spiritual awakening—but only if one engages the rupture consciously. It is not divorce itself that transforms, but how one metabolizes the grief, the shadow, and the disillusionment.

At the core of Jungian psychology lies the concept of individuation, a lifelong journey of growing into one's whole self. It's a process of self-discovery that can feel both inspiring and challenging as each layer of inauthenticity or protective strategy surfaces, then sloughs away. One therapist combines her Jungian background with NARM's spirit of inquiry to help her clients embrace the nature of individuation and reconnect to their unique selves. On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth welcomes Megan Holm (LMFT), NARM® Master Therapist, and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner to discuss the beautiful and unsettling unfolding that can occur when we commit to exploring depth within ourselves. The pair also explores where NARM and Jungian psychology overlap––developing the capacity to hold tension that arises with deeper self-exploration and creating space for noticing rather than judging. About Megan Holm: Megan Holm is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), NARM® Master Therapist, and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner in private practice. She has served as a training assistant in NARM Therapist and Master Therapist Trainings. Megan is currently a training candidate at the International School of Analytical Psychology (ISAP) in Zurich, Switzerland. She continues to see clients in the US, working on themes of relationship patterns, belonging, grief and loss, and self-discovery. Megan is most interested in what Carl Jung calls Individuation: the lifelong process of becoming one's own unique and whole self. It is a process of self-realization and discovery, seeing ourselves as we are rather than as we wish to be. Our symptoms are a door for this work – they invite us to look inwards, to listen to what has gone untended or under-nourished. Fantasy, imagination, and dreams offer further guidance, helping us to see more clearly who we are and what we uniquely bring to the world. Knowing oneself is an undertaking – a humbling journey that Megan feels honored to take together.

Individuation is an important theme threaded through the tween and teen years: the formation of independent identity ultimately allows a kid to stand on their own in adulthood. But getting there can sometimes look – and feel – pretty disrespectful. How can we make sense of the challenges, confusion, and sometimes painful moments? (or months?!). Child development specialist and bestselling author Betsy Brown Braun explains this developmental stage and teaches us how to draw lines, set expectations, and not personalize what's happening!

In this episode I look at The Process of Individuation, an essay by Jung's close friend and colleague, Marie-Louise von Franz, in the anthology Man and his Symbols. I focus on the shadow and the anima, as well as the individualist nature of Jungian psychoanalysis.
Emerging from the ancestral depths of the Fourth House, we enter the vibrant, sun-drenched Fifth—a radiant palace where creativity, pleasure, and passion dance freely. This episode invites you into a profound exploration of the Fifth House not merely as astrological territory, but as the sacred space where your most essential self yearns to play.We uncover the distinction between bios (the linear story of life) and zoe (the indestructible life force) that Carl Kerényi elaborates in his work on Dionysus. This eternal flame resonates at the core of the Fifth House—where your capacity for joy and creation remains undimmed despite life's challenges. Like the sun that rises reliably each morning, this inner light represents the persistent heart of your being.Venus finds her joy here, reveling in pleasure without purpose. The Fifth House invites you to create not for acclaim or outcome, but for the pure delight of creation itself. Through exploring myths like Tristan and Isolde's intoxicating romance and Dionysus's wild revelry, we discover how this house beckons us back to the mystery of our sensuous, animal bodies and the timelessness that flows when we're lost in play.What blocks your access to Fifth House treasures? Perhaps family scripts taught that pleasure is selfish, or heartbreak hardened protective layers around your capacity for joy. Through understanding myths like Narcissus, we glimpse how true self-knowledge becomes the path toward authentic expression.Join us for this illuminating journey into your creative core—where your inner child awaits rediscovery, where romance first sparked your heart, and where the process of becoming truly, uniquely yourself begins. Your Fifth House holds the key to reconnecting with that inextinguishable divine spark within—ready to warm not just yourself, but everyone around you.Artwork: La Belle Dame Sans Merci, Frank Dicksee, 1901Dionysos: Archetypal Image of Indestructible Life, Carl KerenyiPodcast Musician: Marlia CoeurPlease consider becoming a Patron to support the show!Go to OnTheSoulsTerms.com for more.

Carl Gustav Jung hat als Psychiater Weltruhm erlangt. Sein wissenschaftlicher Eifer galt der Erforschung des Unbewussten, der Seele. Und der Königsweg dahin waren die Träume. Wer war C.G. Jung und was bleibt von ihm? Olivia Röllin im Gespräch mit dem Psychologen und Wissenschaftsautor Steve Ayan. Am 26. Juli 2025 jährt sich der Geburtstag von Carl Gustav Jung zum 150. Mal. Jung, geboren 1875 in Kesswil TG, war ein wegweisender Psychiater und Psychoanalytiker, dessen Theorien und Konzepte die moderne Psychologie tiefgreifend beeinflusst haben. Der langjährige Wegbegleiter von Sigmund Freud und Begründer der analytischen Psychologie entwickelte eine Archetypenlehre und prägte Begriffe wie das «kollektive Unbewusste» oder «Individuation», womit er einen Prozess meint, der einen Menschen zu dem mache, was er eigentlich ist. Wie Sigmund Freud betonte auch Jung die Bedeutung von Träumen. Mit seinen Schriften und seiner Forschung am Burghölzli hat der Schweizer Arzt nicht nur die Psychologie revolutioniert, sondern hat auch die Literatur, Kunst und Philosophie beeinflusst. Im Gespräch mit Olivia Röllin erklärt der Psychologe Steve Ayan, wie die Psychologie zur prägenden Wissenschaft des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde, welche Bedeutung C.G. Jung dabei hatte, wo sein Einfluss heute noch zu finden ist und was es mit dem Boom von Psychologiepodcasts und Selbsterkennungskursen auf sich hat.

Dans cet épisode, nous allons expliquer simplement la philosophie de Carl Gustav Jung. Contrairement à Freud, Jung pense que notre inconscient est collectif. Qu'il est structuré par des archétypes : l'Ombre, le Soi, l'anima et l'animus. La confrontation avec ces archétypes permet de réaliser notre "individuation". Nous allons aussi découvrir le concept fascinant de "Synchronicités". Sans oublier la théorie des types psychologiques.➔ Regardez la version vidéo de cet épisode : https://youtu.be/skh3yeqLDjE➔ Rejoignez-moi sur Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/ParoledephilosopheMembre du Label Tout Savoir.

In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, host Dr. John W. Price sits down with Elise Loehnen—writer, researcher, and author of On Our Best Behavior, a book that explores how the ancient moral framework of the seven deadly sins has been internalized by women, shaping their identities, relationships, and sense of worth. This conversation is not just a review—it's a ritual inquiry. Together, John and Elise explore: The invisible “scripts” that define femininity in a patriarchal culture; How envy, pride, sloth, and other so-called “sins” reveal deeper spiritual truths; What Elise risked—and learned—by stepping out from her “invisibility cloak”; How patriarchal systems harm men as well, and the cost of emotional suppression; How men and women can co-create a future rooted in collaboration, not competition The role of grief, longing, and sacred agency in personal and cultural awakening; Elise also shares behind-the-scenes insight into her writing process, her podcast Pulling the Thread, and her evolving work around binaries, individuation, and collective healing. This episode is part of a broader arc on The Sacred Speaks focused on rebalancing the masculine and feminine within us and in our culture. Join John for the upcoming live webinar: Reframing Suffering – The Little Teachers Explore anxiety, jealousy, and shame as sacred messengers
DREAM WITH US, and we'll teach you how to interpret them!Think of adolescence as life's built‑in boot camp: your body hits the gas, your mind scrambles to keep up, and suddenly you're wrestling with raw impulses, big feelings, and the question “Who am I, really?” That surge of anger toward parents often hides an intense love that feels too risky to show, so teens push back while secretly measuring whether adults—and the wider world—can handle their storm.Without clear rites of passage, they test limits through friends, online thrills, and daring choices, all in service of hammering out a story that's theirs, not just a hand‑me‑down from family. If they can ride those waves—owning both the wild Shadow and the hopeful Self—they step into adulthood with a genuine sense of direction; if they dodge the work, the unfinished business shows up later as anxiety, depression, or a nagging sense of being stuck.LOOK & GROWJoin THIS JUNGIAN LIFE DREAM SCHOOLDo you have a topic you want us to cover?WE NEED YOUR HELP!

What is the ultimate path to inner wholeness, and how do we reconcile the tension between the spiritual and material aspects of our existence? Take up the journey to find your lost spark this fall at Dream School: https://thisjungianlife.com/join-dream-school/ Jung's exploration of Gnosticism enhanced his vision of the human psyche. In the Gnostic myths, Jung recognized the modern inner journey—where the Self represents the wholeness we all seek, mirroring the Gnostic Anthropos, the complete human being. Individuation, much like the Gnostic quest for spiritual awakening, becomes a journey of reclaiming our hidden divine spark, integrating both the conscious and unconscious aspects of being. The myth of the Demiurge, who wrongly believes himself the ultimate power, Jung's exploration of Gnosticism expanded his vision of the human psyche. In the Gnostic myths, a great cosmos of balance held in pairs of opposites is upset when Sophia breaks away and is lost in time and matter. The task of humanity is to recognize the sparks of divinity in the world and facilitate the repair of the cosmos. In this, Jung recognized our modern inner journey—where the Self represents the wholeness we all seek, mirroring the Gnostic Anthropos, the complete human being. Individuation, much like the Gnostic quest for spiritual awakening, becomes a journey of reclaiming our hidden divine spark. The myth of the Demiurge, who wrongly believes himself the ultimate power supplanting God, serves as a warning against ego inflation. As we join Jung in enlivening this ancient myth, we clarify our personal task of whole-making and find new symbols to guide that process. Prepare to discover what defines the path toward psychological wholeness, how the dynamics between unconscious drives and conscious awareness shape personal transformation, which existential dilemmas arise from the tension between spiritual ascent and material reality, whether true self-realization involves transcending or integrating the complexities of human life, why inner conflict and the unity of opposing forces are central to our development…and so much more.
