In Jung and Shamanism in Dialogue ( Archived) (10)

Jan 23, 2021 4:24 PM CST In Jung and Shamanism in Dialogue
In this highly original study, C. Michael Smith draws on phenomenological resources and hermeneutic dialogue to explore the affinities and distinctions between shamanism and Jungian psychology, both rooted ultimately in a heart-centered way if life, and both having highly intricate maps of the human psychic interiors. As the reader adventures through this book he or she will encounter shamanic initiation, dismemberments, disassociation, grief, despair, and soul loss, the healing power of ritual, ecstasy and other altered states. The book explores many rich topics including the role of talismans and amulets, the various levels of the collective unconscious, the archetypal and imaginable perspectives on such phenomena, and implications for psychotherapeutic practice today. In the new preface, the author argues that in the end "It isn't the fascinating and powerful techniques that are the essential thing, but the person inside, its capacity to live from the heart n Earth-honoring and Nature- attuning ways that is the essential center of the Jung/shamanism interface."

In Jung and Shamanism in Dialogue, C. Michael Smith has written a "must have" classic for all students of shamanism and Jungian psychology. Thorough, clear and authoritative, Smith writes from first-hand perspective, drawing on his own depth experiences in studying and teaching shamanism and Jungian psychology for decades. As in his previous book, Psychotherapy and the Sacred, he is psychological and spiritual, phenomenological and historical in his unique perspective. Jung was often described as a "shaman" by those who knew him well, but few have had the courage to openly make this claim, and none has presented the case as thoroughly as Smith has. This new preface to this second edition adds a richness of wisdom worth the price of the book.

Pedro. Unless it is not only copy/paste, you can easily get on thin ice....
But of course, you might have studied the subject deeply? dunno

Interesting subject which I must admit I do not know enough about to throw in an interesting opinion though...

It is a very deep subject indeed as, not only have I studied it, but I also was trained in shamanic healing and transpersonal psychology....
And I also have given workshops about it.

However, I wouldn't dream of writing a thread about it, nor discussing it, here, on a public dating site.

But...Pedro seems to be able to? dunno

I used to have a huge white German Shepard come out of the forest in the middle of the night, when I sat on the back steps, and sit beside me. Later a game warden said it was probably a coy wolf and there was a pack roaming by the Potomac.
