Languages of the Unconscious - Part 2

"The Unconscious Can Make a Fool of You in No Time"​ Carl Jung.

​
The other than human beings and the natural world give us many clues in our interaction with unknown and unseen parts of ourselves.  Recently, I had been grieving and feeling regrets, a process triggered by the death of my mother.  All her side of the family were gone, and I felt a deep sense of lonliness.  They were such an important part of my early life and decisions I made that were not ones I would make now, particularly in relation to looking after my old people who cared and loved me.   

I felt after allowing the process to emerge and reveal itself fully, the time had come to intentionally connect with my ancestral land, my ancestors, the natural world and bring in the next phase of life.  It was one week with a section of each day put aside for this in a consciously created way. It was remarkable.  Why?  I had honoured the regrets and past pains until that process had come to a natural conclusion. Opening an intentional space for the future to be ushered in, was truly a healing and constructive gateway to evolving afresh my next chapter.  A crow wailed sorrowfully with me, kookaburras kackled above me moving me toward joy, and the full moon urged me to trust and shone a light on my dreams.  This process of giving time to connect with the cycles of life, to know when it is time to feel the pain of grief and regrets but also to then bring in the new, is something we have forgotten. We have forgotten to realise that time given to these deeper aspects of life actually provide so much texture and depth to our lives, and helps us make the right decisions for ourselves, our families and our communities.
