THE PROBLEM:
Connecting to one’s authentic Self has become a cultural obsession.
With technology exposing us to enormous amounts of information and stimulation, the ability to tune into our core identities has become increasingly difficult, and the feelings of isolation and helplessness have become the true global pandemics.
To make matters worse, the daily hustles and stressors of modern living have stuck our nervous systems in perpetual “fight or flight,” and unable to bring about the necessary calm and connected states needed to break the negative patterns that stifle growth and inhibit healing.
THE SOLUTION:
Although mystics have proposed the idea for millennia, neuroscience has now proven that just as the physical brain contains an informational mind, the physical body also contains a “mind” of sorts that very much regulates and determines our mental, emotional, and physical health.
The first person in the modern era to recognize the healing power of this unconscious “bodymind” was Dr. Carl Jung, whose “individuation” and “active imagination” techniques predated modern somatic methods by several decades, and made use of the creative arts to release latent traumas and repressed moral dilemmas which can wreak havoc on the body’s nervous system, immune system, and general feeling of well-being.
Although highly-intuitive, creative types have gravitated to Jung’s esoteric theories for over a century, his methods have remained largely inaccessible to the general public.
Until now.
The re-emergence of psychedelic medicine in the last fifteen years has generated a renewed interest in some of Jung’s most outlandish theories about dreams, shadow integration, synchronicity, intuition, archetypes, the collective unconscious, and even gender.
In recent decades, groundbreaking methods like Internal Family Systems (Schwartz), Somatic Experiencing (Levine), and Polyvagal Theory (Porges) have presented complementary frameworks that not only shed new light on Jung’s most esoteric concepts, they provide counterparts that anchor them to experiential, day-to-day life.
Allow me to be your guide into this unconscious, somatic realm which science is finally embracing as the most effective long term solution from trauma, anxiety, and depression.
