•The Independent Stage •
Approaching #16months my lil one is full of surprises everyday. Watching him get around around, observe the world , try new foods, there are so many changes happening! At this stage we’re not the boss, they’re human beings with ideas and a will of their own. Suggest something that doesn’t appeal to them, they must assert themselves. Is it bratty? No. Stop and think what would happen if they never disagreed with you? They would never learn anything through trial and error, which is the best way. While you may feel defeated or rejected at times, know that this is the way it’s meant to be for them to think for themselves and make their own decisions. It’s amazing to see my lil angel baby becoming so independent ☺️ #babyboy #lilman #independence #individuation #myson #momzone #motherhoodinspired #honestlymothering #newmama
#CGJung’s The Black Books soon to be published by Norton and released to the public. I got the rare opportunity to view the originals in person!What an interesting time for the family to have chosen to finally publish.It was wild to see his handwritten #grimoire where he organized much of his #alchemical musings of Self and #AnimaMundi with references as well as physics, body work, #typology, and #archetypal #astrology. See more info below!

“The publication in 2009 of #LiberNovus, #CarlJung’s #TheRedBook, has justly been regarded as a cultural event of historical significance.The publication enabled a new reading of Jung that is just beginning, based for the first time on primary documentation of the most critical creative phase in Jung’s life.The Black Books, from 1913 to 1932, in a facsimile edition, accompanied by translation, introduction and notes, will be published in collaboration with the Foundation of the Works of C. G. Jung. The edition is being edited by #SonuShamdasani, translated by Martin Liebscher, John Peck and Shamdasani and will be published by W. W. Norton.The text of The Red Book draws on material from The Black Books — 1913 -1932. Approx. 50% of the text of The Red Book derives directly from these books, with very light editing and reworking.The Black Books are not personal diaries but the records of the unique self-experimentation that Jung called his ‘confrontation with the unconscious.’ He did not record day-to-day happenings or outer events but his #activeimagination and depictions of his mental states together with his reflections on these.The material that Jung did not include in The Red Book is of equal interest to the material that he did include.The Black Books shed light on Jung’s ‘confrontation with the unconscious,’ for which they are the prime documentation, as well as the genesis of The Red Book, the further elaboration of Jung’s personal #cosmology, and the making of #analyticalpsychology.”

#babalargunu #babasininkizlari Babasinin imkansiz sevgisinde, onun yeterlilik kurallarinda ve onayinda hapsolmus o yetiskin kadin bedenindeki kucuk kizlara sesleniyorum. Sizleri goruyorum. Duygularinizin karsilik bulamadigi zamanlarinizin dipsiz kuyusunu da biliyorum. ✨ Babanizi sevin, onun varligina, yasamindaki ‘tum’ secimlere saygi duyun. Ve fakat onun sevgisinin, onun onayinin veya onun fiziksel yahut duygusal yoklugunun esiri olmayin. Babanizin varligi sizi guvenle desteklesin ama benliginize nufuz etmesin. Bu babalar gunu boyle olsun ve ellerinden gelenin en iyisini yapan butun babalarin gunu kutlu olsun. Resimdeki canim babam, onun varligini bu kalple gorebilmek bana buyuk hediye. Iyi ki babamsin

THE ILLUMINATED IMAGINATION: THE ART OF #CGJUNG @ UCSB is up until 4/28
——
For the entire reel check out the highlight—Art of Jung—on my profile. Be sure to cycle through past the opening video to see The Red Book and more. I feel very fortunate to be attending @pacificapost during this exhibit; a once in a lifetime viewing of #CarlJung’s #visionaryart and #imaginal process. Seeing #theRedBook and The Black Book(next post!) in person was surreal. Also on display were each of the painted images from The Red Book as well as detailed graphite drawings and sculptures. My favorite was still his stone block at Bolligen that he hand carved with #alchemical poetry and the symbol of the orphan of #individuation. I was also particularly drawn to the last photo here titled Imagination of Spring (1920). This is my bliss and I was overjoyed to get to experience this work in person with my beloved cohort facilitated by our professor Dr. Yakushko, a fellow #jungian analyst, and her mythologist partner. Sharing this big moment with you all. ———

I think I need one of these self hugs with my own shadow aspect today.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m attempting to imagine my inner critic as a poor sensitive soul who has feelings and is really just a suffering, discontented person, rather than as a little mean monkey who won’t stop picking on me. When we give ourselves a hard time for not attaining the unattainable (perfection), who or what is it inside of us that just needs a hug? And how can we possibly give it to them without first stopping long enough to listen to their point of view?

#Jungian women stack for healing the Feminine.These have been tomes of healing on my path as a therapist, outstanding all books on theory.Asking where to start, maybe these will catch the soul’s interest?

#Psychotherapy Grounded in the Feminine Principle —Barbara Sullivan
__
“[Keeping in mind that both principles are equally necessary.]The Feminine has been devalued and depotentiated by our global culture, all the life and power have been drained out of it.A soft, frilly pink doll object has been left, out of fear, in the place of a vibrant, awesome, and fierce #MotherGoddess.Nowhere is that loss of vitality more clear than in the belief that passivity and chaos are solely feminine and activity and order are solely masculine.There is a whole realm of feminine activity and implicit order, but, as we see in Psyche’s case, it is very different from the direct, phallic activity associated with a masculine approach.Feminine activity is receptive rather than forcing in nature.A feminine approach is not primarily goal-oriented.The individual harbors hopes and dreams, but rather than going after them in a determined way, a feminine sensibility moves one to surrender to the processes of nature, of life, that are activated now.There is a mixture of attentiveness and contemplation as one tries to attune oneself to the current of one’s development, to let one’s process happen, to avoid blocking a journey that is trying to proceed.In this way, the ego turns toward the unconscious, letting itself be guided by the organic processes of the psyche, immersing itself in its own depths rather than trying to direct Psyche—or divide and conquer—rather she strives to unify.The feminine orientation is not simple.It involves a painful confrontation with one’s own smallness, of our humanness, of the fact that one’s psyche contains one’s ego rather than vice versa.The core attitude is one of openness to the self and of surrendering to one's fate or as #JamesHillman might say our soul’s code.There is a recognition and acceptance of the fact that one does not actually have control of one's life and an active relinquishment…”CONT
Learn to see her Because she is a priceless treasure that becomes more radiant when she is seen.
And not for what her body looks like or for how good she does something, but because she is.
She is the fertile earth with the power to birth new life into form.
She is a creatrix whose art will transform the world.
She is magic, mystery, chaos and alchemy...
She will blossom into more than you may ever imagine and you can support her by learning to see her with the eyes of love.
Eyes that open only when the heart is alive with compassion and the mind drops all expectation that she be anything less or anything more than she is, holding the vision of her blooming into her fullest expression.
The question is will you choose to see her?
Or will you look away when you catch a glimpse of her shadow in the mirror, or when she doesn't fit your definition of what a woman should be, or what she should look like, or how she should think, feel, dress, talk, walk, eat, breathe, live...
Own your power to choose to see her as a living, breathing expression of the Goddess Herself, and whether that is you, your beloved, wife, partner, mother, sister, daughter, auntie, cousin, a woman you've never met or this sacred earth, you have the power to see her, respect her, and celebrate her as she blooms.
So much love for lovely @divinedavana and all the incredible women in my life who remind me again and again how blessed I am, how blessed we all are, that they are here sharing their love and beauty with us! @SacredSons and Sacred Daughters are rising, together.
#spiritualheart
Some of us were born to parents and families that were
physically,
emotionally,
mentally,
financially
and spiritually prepared to love and guide us into this world.
Many of us didn't.
We suffered from cross generational patterns of lack in one or more of these essential foundations that are necessary for us to know ourselves as a loved, whole and healthy Being.
So if you are one who has felt the pain of lack in some way, shape and form that continues to impact your present capacity to thrive on all levels, then this is a reminder that it's OK to put your needs first!
Even if it means falling out of favor with your family or friends, be it temporarily or permanently.
Even if it means having to end your partnership, change careers, or letting go of the life you have learned to live as a result of putting yourself last.
Thank those who you have attracted into your life who do not value your worth and expect you to meet their needs without care or awareness of yours, for they are great teachers for you to master Self Love.
Keep putting in the work to reparent yourself, no matter how painful or difficult it may feel at times.
Because you're worth it!
This is the way you will heal, grow and blossom into your most authentic and empowered self.
And through this work we break the ancestral curses that have been handed down to us and create new cycles of health and prosperity on all levels for the next generations.
@SacredSons and @SacredGathering will be coming together today at 3pm for healing and celebration. Details in my story. Hope to see you.
Wishing you much love, healing and happiness, today and always!
