Guided Meditation: Inner Child (Active Imagination)

05/12/23 • 33 min

This is a special guided meditation episode which takes you on a journey to meet your inner child and start a dialogue with them. It is inspired by Dr. Carl Jung's active imagination method.

My hope is that this meditation will introduce you to a new way of relating to your inner world. A way that is playful and engages one of the most powerful and seemingly overlooked tools humans have: imagination.

In becoming familiar with the method of active imagination, and how to engage a dialogue with a part of your unconscious, we will have a way to not only understand Jung's theories in the following Jung & Alchemy series, but to also experience them.

39: Carl Jung & Alchemy • Part I: Dreams, Art, & Synchronicity

What is alchemy? Where does it come from? When did it begin? What does Jung find in alchemy? What does it represent to him that is so important, so profound, that it causes him to abandon his inspired work of the Red Book? It’s time to find out.

Cover art: detail of the Ripley Scroll (1624), depicting a phoenix eating its own wings, which was a paradoxical image that excited Dr. Jung when he stumbled on it as he first came across while conducting dream analysis of one of his patients.
