Episode notes
Calcination Then Dissolution
- Dissolution follows calcination: after burning away the false ego you enter the watery, receptive phase to heal what remains.
- This stage uses the feminine/magical water principle to rebirth the psyche into a more integrated self.
Heal Emotions To Stop Reaccumulation
- Dissolution targets emotional wounds underlying mental blocks left by calcination.
- Healing those wounds prevents the dross from re-accumulating and restores life-force flow.
Continue Into Emotional Work
- Do not stop at burning away the ego; continue into emotional healing to prevent relapse.
- Face and feel painful memories so the dam breaks and the subconscious dross rises to be processed.
