JUNGIAN ALCHEMY: the secret of inner transformation


Listen Later

Do you need a map to chart a massive inner transformation?

Jungian alchemy provides a symbolic framework for individuation, connecting ancient alchemical traditions with analytical psychology to illustrate the psyche's transformative process toward individuation. CG Jung saw alchemical imagery as symbols for inner psychological processes, where the work of transforming base metals into gold paralleled the transformation of unconscious material into conscious awareness. This alchemical process deepens our understanding of confronting our shadow, inspires us to differentiate our true desires from those that were pushed into us, motivates us to seek and apply wisdom then abide in an optimized state where we can be helpful to others. By exploring these symbols, Analytical psychology offers insight into the stages of psychological maturation that restores original access to the Self, the true center from which our authentic thoughts and feelings emerge.

Prepare to discoverwhat alchemical symbols reveal about the hidden dynamics of the psyche and the transformative processes of individuation; how to interpret inner experiences, such as dreams and fantasies, as stages of psychological development and integration; which aspects of the unconscious must be confronted and integrated for a balanced and whole self; whether conflict and suffering can serve as catalysts for deeper self-awareness and inner growth; why the union of opposites within the psyche is essential for achieving personal wholeness and spiritual transformation…and so much more.
