C.
G. Jung called the inner process of transformation the Individuation
process. It involves the development of a mature personality, which
is capable of choosing its own path and self-reliantly remains true
to its own inner law. Especially in times of collective neurosis,
the existence of such mature people is of crucial importance. It is
at moments such as we find ourselves in today that many people are
called by an inner voice and find themselves compelled to set forth
on an inner quest. It is the quest for wholeness. It is a quest for
one’s life’s purpose.
What you can
expect from Individuation Coaching.
The call to discover
our individual destiny comes to us under many guises – an illness,
a divorce, an empty nest, dissatisfaction with our job, depression, a
general loss of interest in the things that we once considered
important. It is the Call of Spirit that comes at our darkest
moments.
It is usually around
mid-life that we somehow lose a sense of ourselves. As the great
poet Dante wrote, “Midway through my life, I found myself lost in
a dark forest with no straight path I could see anywhere.” That
dark forest is where we go to meet our true Self. It is the
beginning of a journey of discovery and transformation.
As an Individuation
Coach, I can help you re-connect to the Self – the Divine Spirit
within you - and ultimately, to your life’s purpose.
As
your Individuation Coach, I am available to help you awaken the
Soul’s wisdom through the practice of dream work and engaging the
True Imagination. According to Jung, dreams point the way to the
Self, for this process involves a purely inner bent or is determined
by destiny. Dreams and personal visions that are an indication of
the individuation process often have a spiritual, religious or
mythological character. I can help you understand the symbolic
language of the Soul so you get the messages that your soul is
sending to you. And then we can work together through coaching to
devise a plan for manifesting your dreams and your life’s purpose.
The most important
phases of the individuation process are the integration of the
shadow, that is, the “dark” side of the personality, which is
denied or overlooked by consciousness; making conscious the
opposite-sex components, which Jung called the animus (the masculine
side of a woman) and the anima (the feminine side of a man); and
finally, experiencing the Self and developing a relationship with the
Self, the innermost core of the psyche.
Working with dreams
and other manifestations of the unconscious speeds up psychic growth.
The Individuation process brings you the gift of self-realization,
self-actualization and spiritual transformation. And coaching helps
you to bring that Truth into the world in your everyday life.
