active imagination
Definition:
Active imagination is a method developed by Jung to engage directly with unconscious material. It involves allowing images, symbols, or inner figures to arise spontaneously in the mind and then consciously interacting with them through dialogue, art, or writing. This technique bridges the gap between the conscious and unconscious, facilitating integration and self-awareness.
Example:
Active imagination helps clients explore their unconscious in a creative and dynamic way, uncovering hidden insights and fostering self-discovery. For instance, a client might visualise a recurring dream figure and engage in a conversation with it, uncovering its symbolic meaning and its relevance to their personal journey.
