Understanding Integration through Prayer
Integration in Jungian psychology involves bridging the gap between one’s ego, the ideal self they project, and the shadow, which represents unacknowledged traits and behaviors. Engaging in prayer is proposed as an effective way to reconcile these aspects of oneself. By receiving love and acceptance from the divine, individuals can move towards authentic transformation, allowing them to become the person they are meant to be. This process highlights prayer not just as a spiritual practice, but as a pathway to deep personal integration.
