The unconscious mind is a vast and complex realm that contains our deepest stored emotions,
Thoughts,
And memories that are hidden and inaccessible to our daily consciousness.
Exploring this inner world can provide valuable insights into our psyche,
Allowing us to connect with our authentic selves and uncover hidden aspects of our personality.
In this exercise,
We will use active imagination to journey into the depths of the unconscious mind,
Allowing our imagination to reveal insights and understanding about ourselves that may be difficult to access through rational thought alone.
So find a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down,
Where you won't be disturbed.
Close your eyes,
And taking a couple of deep breaths,
Just allowing the mind and body to relax.
Keep your attention on the breath for now.
If at any point you do get distracted,
Just bring your attention back to the exercise.
Now visualize yourself standing at the edge of a vast ocean.
A sturdy submarine awaits nearby,
Ready to take you on a journey.
Take a moment to observe the submarine,
Noticing its features,
Size,
And shape.
When you feel ready,
Step inside and make yourself comfortable in the control room.
The control room has a large viewport window that allows you to easily see what surrounds you and your submarine.
One of the dials engages,
Noticing the various controls that allow you to navigate the submarine.
And then,
Begin your descent into the ocean.
As you descend,
You notice the pressure increasing and the water becoming darker.
But you know the lights on your submarine will allow you to see your surroundings.
What do you see as you venture deeper into the ocean?
You may encounter various creatures,
Symbols,
Or objects.
Spend some time looking out into the deep ocean as the submarine gradually descends.
After some time,
You begin to approach the ocean floor.
As it comes into focus,
You come across a mysterious discovery.
What is it that you find here?
Give your imagination complete freedom to explore and uncover what is hidden.
Allow yourself to explore this mysterious discovery,
Observe its details,
And feel the energy that surrounds it.
Take the time to fully engage with the discovery and the symbols it presents.
Once you have spent enough time exploring this underwater realm,
It is time to begin the journey back to the surface.
Slowly guide the submarine back up through the depths,
Bringing the insights and discoveries you have made during your journey.
As you reach the surface,
Take a moment to reflect on the experience and the insights gained from your journey into the unconscious.
Consider how you might apply these insights to your daily life.
So just bringing your attention back to the room now,
Noticing any sounds or sensations.
Take a deep breath,
And opening your eyes in your own time.
Congratulations on completing this inner work exercise.
Deepening your relationship with the unconscious mind is a lifelong endeavour,
One that benefits from daily,
Dedicated practice and an understanding of the key archetypal forces at play in your life.
