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.
Before you listen…

What is projective identification?
Arcadia Earth exhibit
Last week, we explored how complexes can exert a powerful effect on the world around us, changing not only our perception of the world, but the world itself.
Today, I want to look at a very specific form of this inner-outer interplay. It’s called projective identification, and we’re going to use it to build our own Jungian Magic energy technique.
Projective identification is like ordinary psychological projection with…

Energy centers in the psyche
The Spirits of the Pumpkins Descended into the Heavens (2019) by Yayoi Kusama
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…

Do try this at home

Hi, Reader! Let’s dive right into different practices you can play with and adapt for your magical syllabus.
The first idea is to translate your magical focus into something tangible, such as an object for your altar.
If you’re exploring certain planets in your natal chart, for instance, you might select a crystal to represent each one (google planetary-crystal correspondences) and place…

Witch school is officially in session
created with NightCafe (seriously, why isn’t this a real place??)
This week, we’re going to play with the concept of a magical syllabus, but I’d like you to think of this less as a giant to-do list (yuck) and more like the question you pose at the beginning of a tarot reading.
Allow me to explain…
When you frame a tarot reading with an opening question, you are then looking at the cards through that particular lens, and this…
