You begin by finding a different path
Have you ever had a dream, gut feeling or an emotional experience that made you sure that something has to change but you don’t know what…. or how?
Or have you had an unexpected life event and aren’t sure of the next steps?
Reconnect to your inner wisdom
Intuition, synchronistic events, dreams and oracular methods have been used by humankind for millennia for guidance. We can reconnect and find our way.
Dreamwork, Jungian oriented coaching and guided imagery along with other right-brained approaches can help us. Supported by neuroscience, using our imagination can break through old worn-out approaches , bringing new ideas and insights when we are stuck, sad, lost or just need a fresh start.
The work begins with curiosity, wonder and openness. Dreams, intuitions and synchronicities can appear. Treating these new ideas with inquisitiveness can lead to finding new perspectives – ones that may lead us to a more fulfilling life.
Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist, wrote about the mundus imaginalis, a world that animates our everyday life. Connecting and moving these unconscious energies, that reside within us, to our every day life can bring us revelations and provide new outlooks and meaning. Accessing this other world, so we can grow and change, can be done through dreaming and imagining (and other approaches). We just need to open the door and be receptive.
