Understanding Your Dreams with Jungian Dream Interpretation
“In each of us there is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us...
LUXURY BELIEFS: Has social class shaped your mind?
Rob Henderson, author of the best-selling book “Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class,” explores the concept of “Luxury Beliefs.” Raised in poverty by a drug-addicted mother and navigating a series of painful foster care homes, Henderson found outward success through the military, Yale, and Cambridge but never resolved his inner suffering. His self-reflection led him to identify “Luxury Beliefs,” attitudes prevalent among his affluent peers that serve as social status indicators rather than practical principles. These beliefs, such as dismissing traditional marriage, advocating laissez-faire parenting and drug decriminalization, are manageable for the wealthy but destabilize poorer communities. By understanding luxury beliefs, society can foster empathetic conversations across socioeconomic lines, ultimately recognizing that the upbringing and environment we provide for children shape our future culture.
Is it Love or Abuse of Power? Shadow and Archetype in TELL THEM YOU LOVE ME
A Jungian perspective adds a level of psychological complexity to human conflict and suffering that forces us to hold warring tensions within us. Nick August-Perna’s film offers us that same opportunity, allowing multiple voices, divergent feelings, and cultural tensions to surface without resolution in hopes that we, as the viewers, will grow and learn through the struggle to understand.
ARE YOU TRACKING TWISTERS? The reckless charm of creating tornados in our lives
Tornadoes symbolize chaos and transformation. They embody the power of nature’s unpredictability. Twisters reflect our internal emotional storms. Each tornado’s path tells a story of upheaval. Tornadoes teach us that from chaos, new beginnings emerge. The swirling vortex is a testament to the dance of destruction and renewal.
Personal Shadow Work: Where is your dark twin hiding?
Understanding our personal darkness is a journey of self-discovery. PERSONAL SHADOW WORK: Where is your dark twin hiding? involves delving into parts of ourselves that have been pushed into the unconscious due to discomfort or societal expectations. When brought to light, these hidden aspects offer us a richer existence.
Can Art Heal Us? The role of imagery in Jungian Analysis
Jungian Art Therapy explores the connection between art and psychological growth. The spontaneous act of creating images, whether through drawing, painting, or other forms of artistic expression, helps us to tap into our unconscious mind, providing insights into our inner world. Imagery, metaphors, and symbols are central to this process, bridging our conscious and unconscious levels. This approach can promote emotional healing and self-discovery, fostering a deeper understanding of psyche.
