Dragons in meditation? Explore myth, imagination, and spiritual growth with us!

--- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/

Explore the intersection of **active imagination**, **spiritual practices**, and encounters with **mythological creatures** during meditation or journeying. Hosts Charlie and Brian discuss the nuances of interpreting spiritual experiences, caution against **spiritual psychosis**, and stress the importance of humility and discernment. They touch on how mythical beings, such as **dragons**, **unicorns**, and **phoenixes**, may be understood as manifestations of imagination or external spirits, and how these encounters can provide meaningful insights and personal growth. Emphasizing **spiritual technology**, journaling, and balance, they encourage listeners to engage with imagination as a tool for internal transformation while remaining grounded in reality.
