This exercise will be most effective for those who identify with masculine energy. In 'Meeting the Anima,' you will open up an interaction with the Anima - the feminine aspect of your unconscious mind. As you relate to your Anima, you’re going to cultivate a relationship with the emotional force within you - the muse that connects you to passion as you act and create in the world. This partnership with your inner selves will be the cause of your partnerships in the outer, physical world.

We're going to start this exercise with some meditation.

So just take a seat on the chair or on the floor.

Straight back with your hands resting comfortably.

And just noticing the space around you,

Whether it's sounds or sensations.

Notice if there are any thoughts or feelings that are especially obvious at this time.

And now just bring your attention to the breath.

Wherever you happen to feel the most.

Keeping your attention there on the breath for now.

Being still with the body.

And allowing the mind to come to a place of stillness naturally.

And now imagine that you're standing in a peaceful place.

You can be anywhere you like.

And in this place,

You're going to call in your anima.

The symbolic form of your feminine side.

Allow this part of you to emerge and come towards you.

Notice what she looks like.

Whether it's in the form of a woman or another symbol.

Just allow it to be there.

Without judgment or trying to change it.

Notice how you feel around this image.

And now imagine you can interact with this part of you,

This feminine part of your psyche.

You can change its appearance or make it more kind,

Compassionate,

Loving,

Intuitive.

Allow that interaction to occur.

As you bring this part of you to awareness,

Integrate it into your conscious mind.

As you do this,

You are representing the masculine aspect of your psyche.

And the anima is representing the feminine.

When these two forces of your consciousness merge,

You are in touch with your wholeness.

As you relate to your anima,

You're going to cultivate a relationship with the emotional force within you,

The muse that connects you to passion as you act and create in the world.

This partnership with your inner selves will be the cause of your partnerships in the outer physical world.

So allow yourself a few moments now to get familiar with this part of you.

Become closer as if it was an actual human relationship related to this part of you.

And now ask this part of you if she has any message for you or a gift of insight.

She might give it to you in the form of a symbol or in words.

Just be open to receiving this information now.

Remember that this part of you is a guide to your inner life.

Your anima is your muse to guide you to deeper realms of who you are.

When you feel passion,

Emotional energy,

And a drive to be more,

This is your soul compelling you to move forward.

So now imagine this strong partnership with your deepest self being reflected out into the world,

Fully balanced and in control.

Now this work is very powerful to your psyche.

Even if you don't understand exactly what you're doing or how this all works,

Your psyche understands the symbolic language.

So when you practice this dialogue with your anima,

Trust that you are connecting to the deepest part of you.

If you do this regularly,

You will see profound changes in your life and relationships.

Now when you're ready,

You can say goodbye to your anima for now.

And when you're ready,

You can say goodbye to your anima for now.

Now when you're ready,

You can say goodbye to your anima for now.

Come back to the room and the space around you,

And opening your eyes in your own time.
