After writing your poem, can you see how the redirection of this energy can begin to support exactly what you want? Can you sense or feel simultaneously how that power that binds, can liberate? Often times I have this same feeling in deep rest, where my body feels heavy as if it could sink into Earth and at the same time feels light as a feather.
For the next 4 days we will be engaging with the resistance side, which can teach us a great deal and perhaps aid in redirecting that energy towards what our soul truly desires. We are going to allow our poems to come to life, and see the image that the poem is illustrating. Feel free to listen to the recording beforehand without doing the practice, and then a second time to engage in this exercise of amplification—a Jungian therapeutic technique which correlates the “image to symbols, archetypes, and figures from mythology, fairy tales, literature, theatre and other forms of cultural expression.” (Aizenstat, 2011)
Supplies needed:
- Props for short seated centering
- Paper or your journal
- Pen, pencil or any sketching tool you prefer.
- Your poem “To Resistance”
Warmly,
