Make it Conscious - Inner Work Exercises

Skilful communication is a vital part of adult development. It's the first place where understanding and intention meet the world - how we share our ideas. That applies not only with others, but to ourselves. Skilful communication is truthful, purposeful and empathic. In this exercise you'll practise these three points as you speak to the various aspects of the psyche.🌿 This work begins with understanding your own psychological blueprint.

In this episode we bring you back to something you enjoyed doing as a child. There are often many things we were naturally drawn to as children but have since forgotten, or never fully explored. There is always something useful in them, always some reason we were attracted to them — though that is not to say it is as simple as going back to those things, doing them the same way, or trying to make them into a livelihood. Understanding the deeper reasons and needs behind why we did that thing as a child can lead to insight that relates directly to what we choose to do today, and what we have to offer the world around us.🌿 This work begins with understanding your own psychological blueprint.

In this episode we turn attention to the world of work and what it is you do day to day, and specifically to the resistance you have to it. This might come up when you find yourself doing a task or your day job — something you feel you should be doing, or have decided you should be doing, but which you nonetheless struggle to get your full self on board with.🌿 This work begins with understanding your own psychological blueprint.

As much as we do active imagination for ourselves, it is not only us that benefits, if we are not being driven as much by our complexes, shadow and our unchecked needs and desires. This practice is certainly a gift to ourselves, but it is not a waste of time and not a frivolous activity. It is very purposeful, and in some ways a generous thing to be doing — not only for ourselves, but also for other people.This episode uses the basic three-step technique, working with whatever comes up during the practice.🌿 This work begins with understanding your own psychological blueprint.

One of the most common questions asked by active imagination practitioners is: "am I doing it right?" And "how do I know?"It's not uncommon to hear of people having profound experiences, vivid images, and fluid conversations with what they encounter. That's all possible — but it might be tempting to think that if it doesn't happen for you, you've done something wrong.Whether you're doing this practice right is not so much a question of what happens during it, or whether it produces the result you expect. By its very nature, this practice is about encountering something you don't expect. It's a question of attitude, and the stance you take towards the unconscious. It may not produce images at all. Whatever happens, it is always telling you something about the nature and state of your own mind.🌿 This work begins with understanding your own psychological blueprint.
