Emotion
Reflect on your intention: what do you want to gain from your self-development practices, and how do your emotions contribute to or hinder your ability to get there?
Principle for Choosing Practices
Reconnect with your
Creative Spirit
Bring back imagination and intuition to connect with a level of awareness that works with abstract symbology, which mediates with the environment to create meaning, allowing the whole system to evolve and regulate itself into balance.
Discover your
Shadows
Recognize the neglected inner forces that have been pushed into obscurity, by either being negated or pathologized. They have not only been underdeveloped, but are probably now wounded, angry and fearful.
Learn Energetic Communication
Look at emotion as a complex energetic communication system and become aware of your energetic interchanges with the environment. Learn to own your emotions and express them without projecting them to others.
A bit of Inspiration
The suggested practices can contribute to an embodied engagement with emotions and imbalanced energetic patterns. The idea is to acknowledge them and get to know them better until they can be integrated. When working with strong emotional energy and patterns that are perceived as negative, I would always recommend a guided practice by a trained practitioner. These practices not only provide embodiment and bring back awareness to the physical, they provide a bridge to a more abstract consciousness, an observer that is open to the imaginal realm of creative inner expression: the higher or deeper self (depending on your framework) who is the centre of your being and sees into possibility beyond mental narratives, which can guide your choices based on more integral needs.
Practices: Jungian methods such as active imagination and dreamwork, psychosynthesis, hypnotherapy, holotropic breathwork, reiki, peak states therapy and shamanic journeying.​​
