Conversation with the Shadow - Active Imagination

The shadow is the unconscious realm of the psyche that contains parts of ourselves that we repress, deny or hide from ourselves. It can consist of traits, as well as accompanying emotions, beliefs and desires. But like all personal qualities, there is value in the shadow when brought into conscious awareness. Engaging with our shadow is a vital step towards self-knowledge and attaining wholeness in ourselves. Before we begin this exercise, briefly recall a situation where you weren't entirely satisfied with how you behaved or felt a niggling doubt about your choices. We're going to be engaging with the part of you giving rise to this conflict in yourself. Remember that whatever you experience during this exercise is a reflection of your own mind and inner wisdom. Active Imagination is a technique developed by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung for engaging with the unconscious mind. Jung considered Active Imagination to be the most powerful way to access the unconscious mind and a vital technique for attaining wholeness of personality. ---------- Tarot Birth Chart Reports - https://makeitconscious.com/step/tarot-birth-chart-reports/ Divination - Two Part Video Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeuFwuWK5O2NCUr11ZJRmaXuwTfvScrwf Why Divination is Real article series: https://makeitconscious.com/why-divination-is-real/ Seven Habits of Individuation Ebook: https://makeitconscious.com/sevenhabits/ Main Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6AxGzV3sa6kK2NKSKDyuJa Make It Conscious Blog: https://makeitconscious.com/blog/ ---------- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makeitconscious/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maxchegwyn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/makeitconscious ---------- music provided by CoolTones, from Pond5
