Abstract
ABSTRACT This article explores meaningful intersections between Kabbalah ideas, Jungian analysis, the author’s background in dance, and the idea of finding home in soul. Underlying depth work is the art of listening, with the humility of opening to what wants to grow. The Tree of Life imagery—a dynamic and creative dance—has symbolic roots in the heavens, whereas the Sefirot—utterances from God on how to live a holy life—are continually forming and re-forming new beginnings, impregnating and birthing the human soul. The author explores how Kabbalah mythology and Jungian ideas can work in tandem, becoming touchstone and compass in the process of analysis, with receptive ears to the grindstone and the heart pointing to eternity.
期刊介绍:
Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche is an international quarterly published by the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, one of the oldest institutions in America dedicated to Jungian studies and analytic training. Founded in 1979 by John Beebe under the title The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, Jung Journal has evolved from a local journal of book and film reviews to one that attracts readers and contributors worldwide--from the Academy, the arts, and from Jungian analyst-scholars. Featuring peer-reviewed scholarly articles, poetry, art, book and film reviews, and obituaries, Jung Journal offers a dialogue between culture--as reflected in art.
