Increasing magical power
teamLab Borderless Shanghai
Last week, you had the opportunity to work with an unwanted thought or feeling during an Archetypal Attunement inspired by the process of projective identification.
Remember, projective identification involves taking an unwanted thought or feeling and casting it “out there.” This quality is then “metabolized” by someone else, rendering it less threatening, which makes it easier to take back and integrate within ourselves….

Jungian Energy Practice
ARTECHOUSE Miami
Last week, we ended with the question:
Is it possible, using energy work, to replicate the process of projective identification, thereby gaining the benefits of having unwanted qualities processed and made available for integration, without dumping our stuff on people who aren’t our therapist?
This question gives rise to the following Jungian Magic energy technique, which draws on elements of Internal Family Systems.

Projective identification is like ordinary psychological projection with…

Energy centers in the psyche

As a Reiki Master, I was taught a very specific approach to energy work, and for a number of years, I ran a healing practice, offering bodywork, Reiki + tarot. During that time, my hands-on energy healing began to develop its own flavor, one that was intricately entwined with my Jungian studies.
I find the overlap between Jungian psychology, energy work, and magic…

Happy Full Moon in Leo, Reader!
Today, I want to talk about itty-bitty changes leading to big-time productivity, and then I’m going to tie this in with Jungian Magic and turning romance novels into sigils 💋.
This year, I’ve made some changes to my daily work schedule. Pre-schedule change, I worked from 6:30~7:00 a.m. until either 4:00 (if I had an after-work walk with a friend) or 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
That’s 10 hours a day on average that I was working, and yet I always felt…
