https://linktr.ee/csjosephIn this episode of the CS Joseph Podcast, CS Joseph breaks down **Female Space** from an Octagram perspective. Discover why female space is completely broken in today's feminist societies, the core differences between male space (giving & unsolicited advice) and female space (taking & solicited advice), female pragmatism, competition dynamics, and why the lack of healthy female relationships is one of the biggest red flags for men.Key topics covered:- Why female space is essential for women's accountability, self-improvement, and value- How women can humbly "take" from each other (solicited advice, healthy envy) to fill their "holes" and become higher-value women- Real examples: Science Olympiad competition, asking out first love using female dynamics, mother-in-law Thanksgiving accountability, and modern gym interactions- Why UDPF (Unconscious Developed Perceiving Female) women struggle most with pride and taking in female space- The Benjamin Franklin effect in female friendships- How restoring female space helps women secure commitment and benefits societyIf you're into Jungian analytical psychology, Octagram personality typing, gender dynamics, relationship red flags, or self-improvement, this deep dive will change how you see female relationships forever.
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we grab our “They Live” glasses and descend down into Kane Parson's summer blockbuster horror hit: “The Backrooms” to explore its clever symbolic use of Jungian archetypes and Eastern mysticism to create a cerebral and spooky allegory with the same narrative depth we find in masterpieces like Kubrick's The Shining, Lynch's Twin Peaks or Owaku's Silent Hill 2 but with a retrowave drip that weaponizes nostalgia in a tour of the collective unconscious with obscure doorways straight into Buddhist hell. In the free side of the show we discuss Clark and the symbolism that haunts him, the Backrooms and his shadow; breaking down what it has to do with the infinite, changing and cyclical nature of the Backrooms itself. In the extended side of the show we discuss the Capn Carl, Tarot symbolism, the shadow of the retrowave aesthetic and how the Backrooms are a perfect allegory for the Bardos of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Join us next week for part 2. That gives you a whole other week to go watch the movie before listening!

Send us Fan MailWe explore Wetiko as a collective mind virus and how it hides in projection, separation, and the parts of us we refuse to see. We connect Jungian shadow work, addiction as spiritual hunger, and the way awareness and embodiment help us reclaim life force and choose a different path. • defining wetiko through Paul Levy's lens as a collective psycho-spiritual blindness • noticing transmission through projection, othering, scapegoating, and moral certainty • linking addiction and compulsive behaviour to disconnection and spiritual hunger • reclaiming creative energy by bringing shadow material into awareness • distinguishing judgement from discernment and staying protected through being • naming spiritual superiority, victim-perpetrator dynamics, and groupthink traps • understanding awakening as descent, not bypassing, with will and somatic healing • using triggers as information, including envy, resentment, fear, and reactivity • unpacking polarization, ideological possession, and consumer culture as wetiko fuel • practising the antidote through humility, curiosity, community, and conscious choice Reach out to me on Instagram.

In this episode, you can learn:• Why the first and last Beatitudes may reveal a hidden psychology of transformation• How humility becomes the gateway to self-awareness, and self-acceptance becomes the foundation for lasting change• Why emotional honesty, rather than avoidance, is essential for growth• How comfort, validation, and control can block psychological development• The surprising connections between the Beatitudes, Carl Rogers, Jung, neuroscience, and the process of becoming who you areThe Beatitudes are often read as moral teachings, but what if they also describe a psychology of transformation?In this episode, we explore the possibility that the first and last Beatitudes form a complete arc of change: from humility and self-awareness to self-respect and self-acceptance. Along the way, we connect the Beatitudes to Jungian psychology, Carl Rogers, predictive processing, neuroscience, and the human tendency to avoid what is most difficult to see within ourselves. Rather than a list of virtues, the Beatitudes emerge as a progression—one that reorganizes identity, transforms desire, and ultimately changes how we relate to ourselves, others, and reality itself.Part 6 (and link to 1-5) https://youtu.be/cwSOiuskFKo?si=qGtCl7aX-xRM6zyIPart 6 WBS https://youtu.be/cwSOiuskFKo?si=qGtCl7aX-xRM6zyIPart 7 WBS https://youtu.be/KbuiXmwdKeAInternal Calculators part 1 https://youtu.be/uKa3wzpRoxQ?si=57tk2tO14VNVdzcpInternal Calculators part 2 https://youtu.be/5lsQIJUPgQ4Elevate How You Navigate with Len & a free call https://elevatehowyounavigate.comMAYU Water, use "autism" for 10% off at https://mayuwater.comDaylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismDaylight Kids (!!!) https://kids.daylightcomputer.com/autism Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autism00:00 Elevate How You Navigate, MAYU Water, Daylight Computer & Daylight Kids, Chroma Light Devices05:18 Can the Self Be Transformed?; Reordering the Self12:27 First Beatitude: Poor in Spirit; Humility & Openness17:37 Second Beatitude: Mourning; Emotional Honesty & Integration20:32 Third Beatitude: Meekness; Strength Under Control24:00 Fourth Beatitude: Hunger & Thirst for Righteousness; Reordering Desire28:32 Fifth Beatitude: Mercy; Judgment, Compassion & Humanity30:55 Sixth Beatitude: Pure in Heart; Integrity & Congruence33:58 Seventh Beatitude: Peacemakers; Strength Beyond Control35:58 Eighth Beatitude: Persecuted for Righteousness; Self-Respect & Alignment38:42 The Psychology of Transformation; Final Synthesis41:23 Closing Reflections

Why do driven, high-functioning people sometimes find themselves trapped in codependency — bound to others in ways that feel obsessive, compulsive, and impossible to escape? In this episode, psychotherapist and Jungian analyst Gary Trosclair explores the hidden connection between compulsive personality types and codependent relationship patterns. Drawing on attachment theory and Jungian psychology, Gary breaks down how the four compulsive types — the Mentor-Boss, the People-Pleaser, the Workaholic, and the Overthinker — each fall into codependent relationships in their own distinct ways. You'll learn how popular culture romanticizes dependency, how your attachment style shapes your relationship habits, and why interdependence — not codependence — is the healthier model for lasting love.
S6 E8 Gemini New MoonIf Ever There Was a Week for Big MagicIf ever there was a moment for what I'd call big magic - this is that moment.There is something gathering in the collective field right now that I can only describe as a crescendo. A quality of possibility that doesn't come around often. And at the heart of it, this New Moon is asking a very specific question: who is planting your seeds? Not who you were - who you are becoming.In this episode: the crossroads we are collectively standing at and what the two roads actually feel like in the body. The rare convergence of love and expansion available right now - and why the condition of that abundance is authenticity, not achievement. A channelled transmission on what you've sacrificed in order to belong, the Wild Woman pressing forward, and the shattering that liberates. Find somewhere comfortable. Let yourself arrive._______________________________________________________________
In this episode, Dr. K explores the intersection of Jungian archetypes and modern psychiatry to explain why connection feels increasingly difficult in a digital, status-obsessed world. He breaks down the internal "meta" of the Anima and Animus, revealing how an imbalance in these forces leads to everything from the "fragile masculine ego" to the modern epidemic of living in a fantasy world of idealization. What to expect in this episode: The Wanting vs. Liking Gap: An exploration of how the dopamine circuit for wanting is entirely separate from the endocannabinoid circuit for liking, explaining why we often crave things that do not actually satisfy us. Anima and Animus Defined: A technical breakdown of the external, logical masculine principle and the internal, relational feminine principle that exist as universal archetypes within every human being. The Fragile Masculine Ego: How Anima possession creates individuals who appear hyper-logical on the outside but are secretly controlled by unstable emotions and a hyper-sensitivity to status or criticism. The "Gooning" Phenomenon: A clinical look at Animus possession, where the drive for external achievement is swallowed by internal fantasy, leading to a life of "bewitched" sexual daydreaming. The Relational Projection Trap: Why searching for a partner to "complete" your missing half leads to a cycle of caregiver burnout, dependency, and the "I can fix him" dynamic. Societal Role Reversals: How the current psychological crisis men are facing regarding traditional identity is a direct mirror of the challenges women faced seventy years ago. The Art of Constellation: Why achieving mental peace requires "lowering yourself" to embrace the parts of your life or personality you previously judged as inferior or "weak".

We're growling, purring and hissing our way into this month's Magic and Medicines episode to talk all about Familiars and Animal Magic!We start by talking about animistic beliefs in early societies, along with associations of animals with particular deities, before diving into Medieval and Renaissance ideas about witches' familiars documented in witch trial materials.With Vinegar Tom, Sacke-and-Sugar and Pecke-in-the-Crowne frolicking about our feet, we explore beliefs about how familiars might be summoned - and whether or not they are really something far more sinister than a magical companion. There's a bit of Jungian psychology, of course, and an eclectic selection of beliefs from around the world - but are appearances of animals within spiritual practices really just symbols to assist us with self-development?Moving into the 21st century, we discuss neo-shamanism, power animals, and how domestic pets can be spiritually comforting to practitioners of magic and spirituality today, before rounding out the conversation by looking to the future with digital familiars and AI companions!We really hope you enjoy the episode, and we will speak to you again on Thursday with The Golden Branch, a longer Lang tale!Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?REGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURVisit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Read the deeper writing on Substack → spiritualised.substack.comHow does individuation — the descent, the dark night, the alchemical marriage — actually build you $30 million? That's the question underneath this episode. Because the inner work and the wealth are not two separate things. When the inner masculine activates, he looks across the arc of time. He plans. He compounds. And the inner feminine, who lives only in the now, in the pleasure of this moment, is finally allowed to rest — not a Sunday rest or an evening off, but a deep, cellular rest, because she's no longer carrying everything alone.I bring the alchemical marriage out of the abstract and into something practical, because so much of this work gets taught beautifully and spiritually with no application to the life you're actually living. We move through the descent into the spiritual underworld, the dark night of the soul that comes in layers, and the epiphanies that arrive there — what I've come to think of as a transportation system of light, delivering healing into the fractures of the heart. Then we follow the ascent back to the surface, where sovereignty is built and the inner masculine takes up his role: looking after your 70, 80, 90, 100-year-old self, your children, your grandchildren.I share why Maslow's hierarchy can collapse when it's been built on the wrong foundation, and what the rebuild from non-attachment actually looks like. I bring in the story of the Widow's Olive Oil from the Bible — a teaching on the vessel, and why so many spiritual women are earning through leaky energy, paid only when they show up, with nothing holding the wealth when they don't. We look at what a vessel is in the modern world: recurring income that flows into investments, work that eventually carries itself, and a real legacy for the generations after you.Then we get into the figures — a membership at $150 a month with 333 members, what happens when a portion is invested across 10, 20, 30 and 40 years even when you stop investing entirely at year ten, and a second model where eight women at $5,555 a month compound toward tens of millions by year forty. This is the alchemical marriage made practical: the inner masculine planning across the arc of time, building something strong enough that the feminine can finally exhale.Listen, take what resonates, and come find more inside Spiritualised at spiritualised.substack.comwww.goinward.co.ukwww.instagram.com/goinwardTopics: individuation, alchemical marriage, inner masculine, inner feminine, divine union, dark night of the soul, shadow work, Jungian individuation, spiritual awakening, sovereignty, money and spirituality, wealth for spiritual women, recurring income, compounding, legacy, financial freedom.
In this episode I speak with psychiatrist Dr. Sumit Anand about the complex, often misunderstood nature of anger and its deep roots in personal and collective grief. Drawing on classical literature like Homer's The Iliad and Euripides' Medea, contemporary storytelling, and Jungian psychology, we deconstruct how the modern clinical approach has pathologized a vital signaling system of the soul. Dr. Anand shares profound insights from his own practice and personal history, explaining the neurobiology of rage, the illusion of "closure," and the therapeutic necessity of bypassing rationalizing narratives to address the raw pain and shame sitting beneath the surface. Together, we explore how developing conscious awareness and tracking the body's visceral responses can ultimately break generational cycles of trauma and lead to genuine psychological healing.
After our excursion along the currents of our collective dreams, we now turn our attention back to Psychology on the Cross. For this conversation, I invited Jungian scholar Ann Conrad Lammers to discuss Emma Jung: Dedicated to the Soul, a book she recently edited together with Thomas Fischer and Medea Hoch.It's a wonderful book that brings Emma out of Carl Jung's shadow, revealing the full range of her creative work through essays, poems, dreams, and paintings. Throughout this conversation, Ann will also read a poem and two dreams from this important publication. BiographyAnn Conrad Lammers is a Jungian scholar who has worked and written at the crossroads of theology and psychology for the past forty years. Her doctoral work at Yale University led to the book In God's Shadow: The Collaboration of Victor White and C.G. Jung, and she is also the editor of their correspondence. An earlier conversation about this book can be found here.Music played in this episode"From deep down" by ketsa.uk. Licensed under creativecommons.org by NC-ND 4.0.
If we put aside concepts, we really don't know what a tree is. It's a mystery of creation. The tree of life is a universal archetypal symbol. African, Celtic, Norse, and Cabala trees of life are discussed. Trees are a portal into appreciation of life and nature. Walking in a forest, we can feel sacred space. The decimation of trees and forests is also heartbreaking. It's important to connect to and respect all beings, including trees. The three parts of a tree—roots, trunk and branches, and crown—are considered metaphorically. Our roots, including belief systems we've inherited, are useful to revisit. Gender, cultural, historical, and familial roots sometimes need pruning. Trees have interconnected root systems and are not separate from other trees. We grow together and absorb from others. The heartwood near the center of the trunk is analogous to the stored wisdom we gather through experience. The lifeblood of the tree moves to and from the leaves. Every tree has a pattern which can be seen in its rings. We all have patterning and go through cycles as trees do. Being aware of our patterns opens us to the call of our heart. Individuation, a term used by Jung, is an ordeal of growth. There is stability in the trunk and effortless expansiveness in the branches. The crown produces shade, berries, seeds, and fruits which are shared. We can honor our outpouring and what we affect in the world. Seeds contain a legacy, the thing that comes next. The fruit of life is about realizing our immortality. The seed is perfect, despite a tree's twistedness due to environmental conditions. Creativity is a way to take refuge in our being. The practice of praise counterbalances hatred and polarization. Mary Angelon Young is an author and workshop leader with a background in Jungian psychology.

What does it truly mean to rest — not for an hour, not for a day, but through life itself?In this episode, Jess explores the Sovereign Woman: the woman who has built her own ground, owns her own structures, and has activated the inner masculine so completely that the feminine within her can finally, deeply relax.This is the conversation that sits at the intersection of Jungian individuation, money energetics, and what it actually looks like to build a business from sovereignty rather than survival.In this episode:Why borrowed support — from a job, a marriage, a structure you don't own — always carries a hidden cost, and what true financial sovereignty really looks likeThe inner masculine as the structural precondition for feminine rest: how to activate it without hardening, losing your softness, or becoming the lone islandThe compounding principle and why the feminine's desire for immediacy and relational feedback is the exact pattern that keeps women from building lasting wealthThe biblical widow with one jar of oil — and what her story reveals about vessels, closed doors, and creating enough ground that the money keeps pouringWhy lottery winners and top-level athletes go bankrupt at startling rates, and what Mike Tyson's $300 million has to do with your membership structureThe slow quantum leap: what it looks like to build wealth across 10, 20, 30 years — for yourself, your children, your grandchildrenThe example Jess returns to throughout: a membership container — recurring, owned, and structured — as the vessel that allows a woman to rest even when she isn't showing up.

In this In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, Dr. John W. Price sits down with Dr. Susan Schwartz, Jungian analyst and author, for a searching conversation about one of the most underaddressed wounds in contemporary psychology: the absent father. Susan is the author of The Absent Father Effect on Daughters and the forthcoming Absent Fathers, Yearning Sons. Her clinical work draws on decades of practice and deep immersion in Jungian theory, and what she brings to this conversation is not just scholarly precision but the kind of knowledge that only comes from sitting with this material in the consulting room across a lifetime. Father absence, she argues, is routinely minimized in both psychoanalytic literature and popular culture. John and Susan move through the specific ways absence shapes identity, relatedness, sexuality, and the gaze. They explore what it means when a father's eyes are never there to confirm a daughter's body, her mind, her worth, and how fathers model partnering, love, and respect for soul. Susan brings two clinical dreams into the conversation: one involving Vladimir Putin as a figure for the negative father complex, and one about cleaning a closet that opens into something unexpected and alive. These are not illustrations. They are the unconscious at work, showing what the personal father could not provide and what the psyche has done with that absence in the meantime. The conversation moves into territory that will matter to men as much as women: the relationship between absent fathers and male brutality, the failure of initiation when the father is not present to initiate, the ancestral and communal dimensions of the wound, and whether fathers can actually change. Susan's answer to that last question is honest and worth hearing slowly. The episode closes with the questions she believes everyone should be asking, and almost no one does.

In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Foojan and James explore the psychology of self-discovery, leadership development, emotional intelligence, personal growth, and the courage it takes to listen to your inner voice.

Lisa Marchiano is an author, podcaster, and certified Jungian analyst who has dedicated her career to helping people better understand themselves through dreams, psychology, and personal growth. As the co-creator of Dream School and co-host of the popular podcast This Jungian Life, Lisa combines the wisdom of Carl Jung with practical insights for modern life. In this conversation, she shares her unconventional career journey, her philosophy on money and meaning, and how creativity, purpose, and self-discovery can lead to both fulfillment and financial success. On this episode we talk about: How following your curiosity and energy can guide your career path The principles of Jungian psychology and why Carl Jung's work remains relevant today The role of the unconscious mind in creativity, intuition, and personal growth Building a mission-driven business without initially intending to become an entrepreneur Developing a healthy relationship with money, abundance, and personal values Top 3 Takeaways Follow the energy in your life. Paying attention to what naturally excites and energizes you can reveal unexpected career opportunities and lead to meaningful work. Creativity often comes from the unconscious mind. Many of our best ideas emerge when we learn to listen to intuition, dreams, and inner signals rather than relying solely on conscious analysis. Money is most fulfilling when it supports a mission. Financial success becomes more meaningful when it's aligned with helping others, expressing your values, and creating positive impact. Notable Quotes "Follow the energy. Notice what gives you energy and get curious about that." "If it helps, it's true." "It doesn't feel like greed. It feels like abundance."

In this episode I am once again joined by Duncan Barford, occult practitioner, counsellor, and author of “Occult Experiments in the Home”. Duncan reflects on his training as a counsellor and the difficulties in sharing his occult interests in that context; his deep appreciation of Freud and Jung; and the links between psychoanalysis and mythic figures such as such as Uranus, Oedipus, and Narcissus. Duncan considers whether Buddhism is merely a useful fiction, offers advice for those interested in learning how tp use mythology to gain insight into life, and explains why the emphasis of his spiritual practice has shifted from awakening to psychological wellbeing. Duncan also talks about his new magical novel, “The Going Down”, describes its plot and messages, and reveals why he believes the practice of Pragmatic Dharma can accrue a profoundly dark karmic debt. … Video version: www.guruviking.com Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 00:59 - Duncan's therapist hated the occult 02:58 - Misconceptions about Jungian therapy 04:19 - Psychopomp as therapist 04:25 - Freud, Jung, Skinner, Piaget, Rogers, and Carlyle 08:48 - Duncan was a fervent Freudian 09:35 - Freud vs trauma therapy 13:13 - What Freud did 15:58 - Buddhism's useful fiction 19:47 - Where Freud went wrong 21:50 - The castration complex 26:37 - Castration myths 27:58 - Freud and Duncan's childhood 30:40 - Universal or culturally specific? 32:15 - Oedipus, myth, and psychoanalysis 37:29 - Duncan's novel 38:36 - Writing “The Going Down” 41:11 - Plot summary 43:07 - A life-changing ancestor working 44:22 - Duncan's hope for the book 45:53 - Fiction and the occult 48:40 - Alan Chapman's dismay at the novel 49:22 - The dark, karmic debt of Pragmatic Dharma 54:38 - Meeting a Dark Goddess 56:15 - The myth of Persephone 59:49 - A change in Duncan's meditation practice 01:00:43 - This is the Underworld 01:02:34 - Bailey's and Steve's problems 01:03:55 - The Franklin's Tale 01:05:30 - How occultists interpret their life situations 01:09:12 - Is everyone psychotic? 01:10:45 - Using depression and panic as portals 01:12:16 - Duncan believes in everything 01:14:00 - Internal vs external integration 01:19:30 - Why you need mythic literacy 01:20:57 - How to learn more about myths 01:22:55 - Should you read myths? 01:25:07 - The myth of Narcissus 01:28:25 - Scholar vs poet 01:32:22 - Finishing a novel 01:34:06 - Narrative fashions in fiction 01:36:01 - Haunting quality 01:37:43 - A companion in the Underworld … Watch previous episodes with Duncan Barford: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=barford Read “The Going Down”: - https://godsandradicals.squarespace.com/bookstore/p/the-going-down-by-duncan-barford To find our more about Duncan Barford, visit: - https://www.duncanbarford.uk/ … For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

In this episode, I reflect on Cormac McCarthy's only published nonfiction essay, “The Kekulé Problem,” and his strange, brilliant exploration of dreams, the unconscious, language, and the ancient animal mind beneath our speaking selves.I share a little about reading McCarthy while I was in therapy and discussing this essay with my own psychotherapist, who approached dreams through a Jungian depth psychological lens. From there, I explore why dreams may matter—not because they give us easy answers or mystical certainty, but because they can sometimes carry emotional realities that ordinary language has not yet found a way to hold.I also think about this through my work with men in psychotherapy, especially men wrestling with anger, anxiety, depression, disconnection, and the difficulty of naming what hurts. Sometimes a dream becomes a doorway. Sometimes an image arrives before the words do. And sometimes the unconscious may be trying to reconnect us with parts of ourselves we have lost contact with: joy, freedom, grief, longing, vitality, and the deeper life beneath our explanations.
Carl Jung and Astrology: Synchronicity, Zodiac Archetypes, and the Psyche. Jill explores Jung's revolutionary ideas connecting astrology with psychology, meaningful coincidences, zodiac archetypes, planetary symbolism, and the hidden patterns shaping human consciousness. Discover why Jung called astrology an ancient form of psychology and why his ideas continue to influence modern spiritual seekers, astrologers, and depth psychology today. Did Carl Jung believe astrology was real? Why did one of the most influential psychologists of the twentieth century spend decades studying astrology, mythology, dreams, alchemy, and symbolic systems? Professional astrologer, host Jill Jardine, M.A. Counseling/Psychology explores the intriguing relationship between Carl Jung and astrology and uncover how Jung saw the zodiac not as simple fortune-telling, but as a symbolic map of the human psyche. Jung believed astrology contained profound psychological truths and viewed planetary symbols and zodiac archetypes as reflections of the collective unconscious. Jill shares the Jungian psychological aphorisms she has studied throughout her life including the groundbreaking concept of synchronicity — meaningful coincidences that seem mysteriously connected without conventional cause and effect. Could planetary cycles mirror psychological transformation? Could archetypal patterns shape our inner and outer lives? Carl Jung and Astrology: Synchronicity and Zodiac Archetypes. In this episode, listeners will discover Jung's perspective on: Astrology as ancient psychologyThe collective unconscious and universal archetypesSynchronicity and meaningful coincidenceZodiac signs as psychological symbolsPlanetary archetypes and human behaviorSaturn and Uranus transits in Jung's researchMythology, dreams, and symbolic consciousnessIndividuation and becoming your authentic selfJung's views on destiny versus free willThe psychological meaning behind astrologyWhy astrology remains popular in modern cultureThe connection between spirituality, psychology, and self-discovery Carl Jung believed that symbols are the language of the soul, and astrology may serve as a mirror reflecting our deepest patterns, gifts, challenges, and evolutionary journey. Whether you are a student of Jungian psychology, astrology, spirituality, depth psychology, shadow work, dream analysis, or consciousness studies, this episode offers an illuminating exploration into one of the most fascinating intersections of psychology and metaphysical wisdom. Memorable Carl Jung Quotes Discussed: "Astrology consists of symbolic configurations." "We are born at a given moment in a given place and like vintage years of wine we have the qualities of the year and season in which we are born." "The stars are simply indicators of time." "The starry vault of heaven is the open book of cosmic projection." "Synchronicity refers to meaningful coincidence."

Nicola Light drowned at age five on an English beach—and something changed in her permanently. That near-death experience laid dormant for decades while she built an affluent life: a 32-year marriage, a beautiful home, private school for her children. Then came the dark night of the soul. In this conversation, Nicola and Trey go deep on the architecture of consciousness: what the matrix actually is (and how to stop being plugged into it), light language and the Pleiadian transmissions she channels through her body, the difference between surrendering to a higher calling versus giving away your sovereignty, and how many conscious human beings it actually takes to tip the collective timeline.This one doesn't stay in the comfortable zone. Trey pushes back on the “focus on the light” narrative with a Jungian lens, they explore the loosh harvesting theory, and Nicola shares the exact meditation process she uses to push through the third-eye screen into other dimensions.Nicola is the author of The Pleiadian Handbook for Human Ascension.

Healing Broken Families: Conversations with Barbara La Pointe (Canada)
Many women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond find themselves asking the same painful question....“How did I end up here again?”In this episode of Healing Forward with Barbara La Pointe, I sit down with psychotherapist, soul-healer, and life-guidance coach Nathalie Volan to explore how unhealed childhood wounds—especially mother wounds—can quietly shape our adult relationships.We discuss how unresolved emotional trauma can create patterns that leave women vulnerable to narcissistic, emotionally abusive, manipulative, or toxic romantic and business relationships.If you've ever struggled with:✨ People pleasing✨ Repeating painful relationship patterns✨ Narcissistic abuse recovery✨ Difficulty setting boundaries✨ Emotional exhaustion✨ Toxic friendships or business partnerships✨ Feeling unseen, unheard, or never “enough”Healing doesn't begin with blaming ourselves.

There's a strange tension happening inside the coaching industry right now. On one hand, more people than ever are entering the space because they genuinely want to help others transform. But on the other hand… many practitioners secretly feel disconnected from the very identity they've stepped into. Because somewhere along the way, coaching became associated with performance. Scripts. Personal branding. High-energy motivation. Surface-level empowerment. Formulaic transformation. And for many people - especially those drawn to psychology, spirituality, shadow work, Jungian thought, emotional depth and human complexity - something about that feels profoundly incomplete. In this episode, we explore: * Why so many coaches feel disillusioned with modern coaching culture * The hidden embarrassment some practitioners feel around the word “coach” * The difference between real transformation and motivational performance * Why depth-oriented practitioners crave psychological grounding * How the industry often bypasses the unconscious entirely * The growing hunger for work that feels intellectually serious, emotionally honest and soul-deep This conversation is for the people who know they were never meant to do surface-level work. The people who have always been fascinated by the psyche, by patterns, by shadow, by meaning, by what lives underneath behaviour. And perhaps most importantly: the people who have always wondered if there's another way to practice transformational work altogether. ...

Stijn Vanheule is a clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, and professor at Ghent University, Belgium. Our conversation was inspired by his most recent book, Why Psychosis Is Not So Crazy.Stijn overviews the work of French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. He explains Lacan's three registers: the Symbolic, the Imaginary, and the Real; psychosis as a confrontation with the Real; the security and limitations of symbolic convention; how words and stories structure reality; logic versus artistic coherence; and the existential value of paranoia.We compare Lacanian and Jungian approaches on subjects such as the paradox of archetypal and individual, personal myth, and self-knowledge as a never-ending process. Underlying our conversation is the common ground of viewing psychosis not as an illness, but in Stijn's words: “the subjective manifestation of a struggle that touches upon the fundamental aspects of human existence."
Ep. 183. In this episode, I sit down with Ara Trembly, a seasoned psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and counselor, who explores the significance of dreams and their connection to our subconscious mind. He emphasizes the importance of understanding dreams as messages from God and the unconscious, offering insights into how they can guide us in our daily lives.Drawing on Jungian psychology (my favourite!) and a faith-based perspective through his book Dreaming God's Way, Ara reveals how our dreams communicate hidden truths we often overlook, and how dream interpretation can unlock powerful personal growth and spiritual connection.We cover:How the unconscious mind uses symbols to speak to usWhat the Bible and modern spirituality say about spiritual dreams and biblical dream interpretationPractical steps for recording, reflecting on, and interpreting your own dreamsWhy dream symbolism is deeply personal — the same symbol means something different for every personHow hypnotherapy and dream work support personal healing and transformationWhether you believe in dreams or not, this conversation would most definitely shape your perspective of them.Buy Ara's Book Dreaming God's Way Visit Ara's Website
Lian and hypnotherapist and changework facilitator James Tripp on where pattern-based change meets its ceiling, what Jungian individuation and NLP have to say to each other, and why the most resistant clients may be the ones most in need of a reconnection to soul. James Tripp is an internationally recognised authority in the fields of self development, personal mastery and generative changework. Coming from a diverse background including philosophy, music, martial arts, movement culture and NLP, James is also the developer of the Hypnosis Without Trance approach to hypnotic facilitation as well as author of the critically acclaimed book of the same title. In his one-to-one work, James works with individuals looking to become better adapted in consistently creating outcomes they value and living lives they love. Since turning professional in 2007 his clients have included artists, filmmakers, entrepreneurs and business creators, c-suite executives, actors and performers, frontline services operatives, medical doctors, writers, special forces operatives and military veterans. In this episode, Lian and James begin with "doomer optimism," a genuine belief that radical change is not only inevitable but potentially the very thing that makes us more alive and more human. They look at what it costs people to build a life around patterns that are functional in the world but out of resonance with who they truly are, and why that gap, which might show up as numbness, burnout, or a vague sense that something's missing, tends to compound under pressure. From there the conversation moves into territory that doesn't always make it into change-work: soul, and what it takes to bring that word into a room full of police officers without losing them, and why, in James' experience, even the most practical people tend to respond when someone gives them permission to look in that direction. There's something here about nourishment rather than healing, about arcs of becoming rather than things to fix, and about where ancient ways of knowing, shamanism, Taoism, the Kabbalah, still carry genuine usefulness in a world that has largely forgotten them. Listen if you've been doing this work, in yourself or with others, long enough to sense that changing our patterns is only part of the story. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: - Why changing patterns can take you a long way but still leave you feeling like the nut has been removed from the shell - How soul connection shows up differently depending on the room you're in, and why James rarely uses that language the same way twice - What Jung's private admission near the end of his life, that he had failed at his principal task, reveals about how long it takes for a seed to become a fruit tree Resources and stuff that we spoke about: - Visit James's website (https://www.jamestripp.co.uk/). - James's Linktree (https://linktr.ee/jamestripp) - Join UNIO, The Community for Wild Sovereign Souls: (https://www.unioacademy.com/) This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend, professional actor, and educator Jeff Miller for a deep dive into the work of Jungian psychoanalyst James Hollis. We discuss why a life focused on meaning trumps the superficial cultural chase for happiness, how to face our personal shadow, and the challenging but liberating reality of taking absolute responsibility for our own lives. From navigating personal blowups with aging parents to finding ultimate wisdom in literature, Jeff shares how Hollis's writing fundamentally shifted his perspective on navigating the second half of life.

Ideas, feelings, visions, all floating up there, disconnected from the body carrying them around. Dr. Dario Nardi, neuroscience researcher and Jungian scholar, sat down with me to talk about what Jung actually believed about the body, what brain science says about intuitive personality types, and the body-mind practices that can help INFPs reconnect with themselves in a way that actually fits how they're wired. We cover chakras as psychological development, how to process negative emotions without pushing them down, simple practices like breathwork and singing, why 10 minutes is the magic number for your nervous system to shift gears, and Dario's new app Mindful Momentum, built specifically to make all of this accessible in five minutes a day.#INFP #Jungianpsychology #bodymind00:00 Jung's Mind-Body Secrets Dr. Dario Nardi Wants Every INFP to Know
In this episode of The Tarot Diagnosis, I explore a question that has been lingering in my mind for months: What do the pillars in tarot actually symbolize on a deeper psychological level?Using Viktor Frankl's famous quote - “Between stimulus and response there is a space…,” I reflect on how the pillars in cards like the High Priestess, Justice, the Hierophant, and even the Moon might represent more than just duality or balance. I explore the possibility that these pillars symbolize psychological thresholds or liminal spaces where uncertainty, intuition, morality, projection, fear, and meaning live.I dive into the symbolism of the flowing/airy tapestry behind the High Priestess and contrast it with the heavy, obscuring curtain behind Justice, exploring how these archetypes reflect the tension between flexibility and rigidity. Through a Jungian, somatic, and trauma-informed lens, I discuss how the body often senses something before the mind can, and before the brain can organize it into language, as well as how our desire for certainty can sometimes become a defense mechanism against our discomfort with ambiguity.From there, I turn toward the Hierophant and explore the psychological impact of inherited systems rooted in religion, morality, culture, authority, and collective meaning-making. I reflect on what happens when external structures override internal knowing, and why the space between the pillars matters so much when it comes to identity, autonomy, and self-trust.I also explain why I believe the Moon belongs in this conversation, despite its “pillars” technically being towers. For me, The Moon represents what happens behind the pillars: the unconscious terrain we enter when certainty becomes hazy and we are forced to navigate ambiguity without reassurance.Toward the end of the episode, I create a brand new three card tarot spread inspired by Frankl's quote.Pulling the Magician, Six of Pentacles, and Three of Wands, I explore themes of hyper-independence, receiving support, and what becomes possible when we stop trying to survive entirely on our own.This episode is part tarot symbolism analysis, part Jungian and therapeutic exploration, and part philosophical reflection on what exists in the space between instinct and action.Want more of this type of tarot experience?Join us at the Summer Solstice Summit - a three day, virtual tarot conference June 26-28.

Dr. T flies solo in this episode and hosts guest Otto Maier in a discussion on psychedelic therapy through depth psychology and lived experience. Otto describes his early work with ayahuasca and a pivotal, overwhelming initiation with 5 MeO DMT that led to a prolonged spiritual and psychological crisis. Instead of framing the experience as positive or negative, though, he emphasizes the meaning it held for him. It taught him, among other things, the importance of preparation, appropriate dosing, and trauma-informed facilitation. Dr. T and Otto unpack psychedelic healing within a harm reduction framework while challenging simplified narratives often found in the field. The discussion examines the tension between clinical models that prioritize symptom reduction and a soul-oriented approach to healing. Otto draws on Jungian psychology and archetypal theory to describe how psychedelic experiences can unfold as nonlinear processes that disrupt identity and access deeper layers of the psyche. Dr. T and Otto suggest that meaningful transformation may include disorientation and existential questioning, rather than immediate improvement, which points to limitations in current research practices. Together, they also explore the cultural divide between Western models of control and more relational, animistic perspectives. Psychedelic work is framed as an invitation to engage with uncertainty, embodiment, and the unconscious, countering the dominant concepts of cognition and productivity. The episode advocates for an integrated approach of both scientific rigor and soul-based inquiry, emphasizing ethical responsibility and the complexity of medicine-assisted healing. “I think that the soul work is something that gets us in touch with the nature of our being.

Text A2A to 33777 to stay in the know about our upcoming Awareness to Action Course!Carl Jung said that when a man deals with his own shadow, he does something real for the world. On this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, host Will Schneider sits down with Connor Beaton, founder of Man Talks and author of Men's Work, to get into what shadow work actually looks like for men and why most of us have been trained since childhood to avoid it.Connor explains why men tend to carry a denser shadow than women. Masculine culture teaches strength through suppression. Stuff it down, hide the weakness, perform. The result is that the parts of yourself you've rejected... anger, vulnerability, self-compassion... don't go away. They go underground. And they start running the show from there.Connor walks Will through the mechanics of how anger gets repressed and creates the nice guy pattern, how shame gets used on boys to gain compliance and then keeps grown men living small, and what he calls shame-based motivation... using pain as fuel to achieve, which works until it doesn't.Connor shares his own story of bottoming out in his late twenties, living in the back of a Pontiac G5, apprenticing with a Jungian mentor, and the conversation with a close friend that changed everything. He and Will get into relationships as mirrors for shadow, the difference between guilt and shame, psychedelics and the default mode network, and why the real work for men is growing down into yourself rather than always building up and out.What you'll hear in this episode:Why masculine culture creates a denser shadow through suppressionThe nice guy pattern and what happens when anger goes undergroundShame-based motivation and why it has a shelf lifeConnor's crisis story and the two things that pulled him outSeparating personhood from behavior and why it matters for fathers and sonsRelationships as the clearest mirror for your shadowPsychedelics, the default mode network, and accessing the unconsciousGrowing down instead of growing up as the real path to maturityConnor's book: Men's Work Connor's website: ManTalks.com Man Talks Alliance: ManTalks.com (courses, live calls, community) Connor's platforms: Instagram, YouTube, SpotifyFull episode: https://pod.fo/e/33c406Text MTM to 33777 for updates on new episodes and resources from Focus Now Training.Jon's book, DIAL in Your Leadership: 4 Non-negotiables for Leading with Clarity, Trust, and Purpose, is available now on Amazon. https://a.co/d/0hYwI2SzFollow Men Talking Mindfulness, Jon Macaskill, and Will Schneider for more.shadow work for men, Connor Beaton, Man Talks podcast, men's shadow work, shame and masculinity, anger suppression men Men Talking Mindfulness podcast, Will Schneider, nice guy pattern, shame-based motivation, Jungian shadow, men's personal development, separating personhood from behavior, default mode networkwhat is shadow work for men, why do men suppress anger, how does shame affect men, what is shame-based motivation, nice guy syndrome and anger, how do psychedelics help shadow work, Hosted on Ausha.

Swami Shankardev was recently interviewed by Dr. Lauren Tober as part of The Yoga-Informed Therapist Interviews—a series that brought together therapists and yoga teachers who are integrating these two worlds with care, depth, and ethical rigor. The series covered the scope of practice, nervous system regulation, trauma sensitivity, and the training pathways that allow this kind of integration to be done responsibly.In this interview, Swami Shankardev traces a fifty-year journey that began with medical training at Sydney University in 1976 and ten years of immersive study at the Bihar School of Yoga in India — a dual formation that has shaped everything since.He describes how he integrates yoga not as an add-on to conventional care but as a complete parallel system: Sāmkhya philosophy as the theoretical foundation, pranayama, mantra therapy, chakra work, and Jungian depth psychology as the practical tools, all applied to the individual's specific constitution, temperament, and stage of development.Central to his approach is the principle that foundation comes before depth — a stable, resilient ego must be built before deeper meditative or kuṇḍalinī work is introduced — and that both yogic and Jungian frameworks insist on treating the person in front of you rather than applying a formula.He addresses the ethical dimensions of this integration directly: cultural integrity, scope of practice, and the amplified responsibility that comes with holding both the doctor-patient and teacher-student relationship simultaneously.His vision for the future is clear and unambiguous — yoga in healthcare needs to move well beyond stretching and stress reduction toward a genuine recognition of yoga psychology as a rigorous clinical science, with mantra and pranayama as legitimate therapeutic tools and the deep inner work of the tantric and Jungian traditions understood as fundamental to healing.This interview with Swami Shankardev Saraswati and Dr Lauren Tober was created by the Yoga Psychology Institute for the Yoga-informed Therapist series.

Most therapists who own group practices think more revenue means taking on more clients themselves. Jason Marx proved that completely wrong. In this episode, I sit down with Jason to share how growing a group therapy practice to consistent 20K months required him to do less clinical work and more CEO work.We talk about why he rebranded mid-growth, what happened when he stopped putting his own name on the practice, and the Five Guys french fry analogy that completely changed how he thinks about client experience (before anyone even books a session). Jason also shares something I rarely hear group practice owners admit out loud—he had no idea what he was doing and he told his first clinician exactly that.When Jason joined Liberated Business in June 2025 he was still finishing his doctorate and figuring things out as he went. Six months later he hit his first 20K month. If you've been telling yourself you will grow your group therapy practice "later" or once the timing is right, Jason's story will challenge that in the best way.More about Jason Marx:Dr. Jason Marx is a Psychologist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in both California and NYC where he owns Midtown NYC Therapists, a boutique out of network group practice. He is Jungian and psychodynamically oriented in his approach, working to help patients foster an authentic experience of being and discovery. Dr. Marx has experience working in severe mental health, community mental health, the Brooklyn VA Hospital Outpatient Mental Health Clinic, outpatient substance abuse with sex offenders on parole, child and family psychoanalysis, individual and couples psychoanalysis, group psychotherapy, private practice, and group private practices.Topics covered on Growing a Group Therapy Practice:The arbitrary barriers you set for yourself are what's actually slowing down the growth of your group therapy practiceYour group therapy practice should not have your name on it and what changes psychologically when you remove itThe Five Guys french fry strategy and how it applies to your client experience before anyone even picks up the phoneHow Jason went from "I have no idea what I'm doing" to consistent 20K months without exploiting himself through the processGrowing a group therapy practice means shrinking your own caseload not expanding itRebranding in the middle of Jason's journey gave him more freedom, better boundaries, and a group therapy practice he actually enjoys runningResources from this episode:Liberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessBuilding a StoryBrand by Donald MillerConnect with Jason Marx:Website: midtownnyctherapists.comInstagram: @midtownnyctherapistsConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachQuote:"It's amazing the psychological shift that occurred when it was no longer my name on the practice.

Mariavittoria Mangini, known to many as Maria, is a nurse-midwife, scholar, psychedelic historian, and longtime advocate for the preservation of underground psychedelic knowledge. Maria's life intersects with several crucial streams of modern psychedelic history: early LSD culture in the Bay Area and at Millbrook, the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic, Esalen in the 1970s, the work of Stanislav Grof, the emergence of midwifery and nursing as practices of care, and the long, complicated passage from psychedelic prohibition into the current renaissance. In this conversation, we explore: • Maria's first encounter with LSD as a teenager, • The strange mixture of recklessness and reverence that shaped early psychedelic exploration. • Her years at Esalen and her encounters with figures such as Stanislav Grof, Gregory Bateson, Leo Zeff, and others. • The relationship between birth, death and psychedelic experience • Her doctoral work, Yes, Mom Took Acid, and what long-term psychedelic users told her about social responsibility, and care for the larger world. • Her work in medical cannabis, and what today's psychedelic movement might learn from the successes and failures of cannabis legalization. • The founding of the Women's Visionary Council • Her relationship with Ann and Sasha Shulgin, whose partnership helped shape the modern psychedelic imagination. • This talk was originally recorded in a live format created by the Shulgin Foundation, and hosted by Stacey Blanke. The shulgin foundation is an organization dedicated to preserving and extending the legacy of Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin and Ann Shulgin. Sasha Shulgin was of course a visionary chemist credited with creating more than 150 psychedelic compounds and helping identify the distinctive psychological properties of MDMA. Ann Shulgin was a writer, artist, Jungian lay therapist, and an early practitioner in psychedelic-assisted therapy, especially known for her work with the Shadow. Please enjoy this conversation with Maria Mangini.
The first of a grim pair of episodes depicting filicide within Greek myths. We piece together the story of Agamemnon’s sacrificing Iphigenia for favorable winds – and the fallout of such action after the war. All this with an eye for how the choices parents make either support or harm the parents’ individuation. This episode we will be reading from Mythology, by Edith Hamilton. The following are also referenced in this episode: Mercury Rising: Women, Evil and the Trickster Gods – by Deldon Anne McNeely The Red Book: Liber Novus – by C.G.

In this episode, Allie reveals what she believes is the biggest threat to Christian women's theology and ministry today — not feminism, progressivism, or the New Age, but therapy culture. What many see as harmless self-help and “mental health awareness” on social media is actually flooding women's Bible studies, books, and conferences with me-centered ideas that quietly replace biblical sanctification with self-focused healing. Allie walks through three popular therapy concepts sweeping Christian circles — inner child work, shadow work, and somatic therapy — showing their New Age and Jungian roots and why they contradict Scripture. While she fully supports Christ-honoring biblical counseling, Allie warns that many therapeutic ideas that sound “almost Christian” are leading women away from the cross, self-denial, and the Holy Spirit's transforming work. Studies like the one featured in the Atlantic even show that certain therapy approaches can make mental health worse, especially among teens. True healing doesn't come from reparenting your inner child, integrating your shadow, or shaking out trauma stored in your body — it comes from the God who meets you as you are and calls you to maturity in Christ.
