The Mother Archetype - Active Imagination Exercise

In this active imagination exercise, we’re going explore the influence of the Mother Archetype in our lives. Our understanding of parenting and the nuances of our relationships with our parents are often coloured by this archetype. Individuation and becoming who we really are involves recognising our parents as individuals, as well as representatives of deeper archetypal patterns. This process requires us to acknowledge the gifts and care they have given us, while also confronting and reconciling with their limitations, and ceasing to hold them to an impossible ideal. By cultivating a relationship with the Mother Archetype, we can transcend personal histories and connect with a more universal understanding of nurture and care, allowing us to see ourselves and our own parents more clearly, as well as embody the Mother Archetype in a healthy form towards ourselves and others. 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
