Episode notes
Active Imagination Is Directed Daydreaming
- Active imagination uses directed daydreaming to engage the unconscious in a relaxed yet focused state.
- The observer becomes the observed as you turn your daydream inward to explore inner life.
Jung Reframed An Ancient Practice
- Jung revived an ancient imaginative practice into modern psychology as active imagination.
- The technique aims to 'give birth to the old in a new time' by dialoguing with unconscious parts.
Playfulness Unlocks Inner Material
- Treat the exploration playfully as children do, because imagination accesses powerful inner resources.
- Approaching inner work with play loosens resistance and invites honest responses from the unconscious.
