Or has a figure or image come to mind whose meaning you have been unable to explain? This workbook allows you to experience what such a symbol begins to reveal and how it can deepen your self-knowledge and understanding of your own life.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWorking with a Symbol\u003c\/em\u003e teaches an independently practised method developed by Minna Kirsi. The workbook guides you through a seven-day journey with one symbol. Day by day, you approach it from different directions and observe what it evokes in your mind, body, memories, shadow and actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the process, you examine your chosen symbol from different perspectives. You explore its connection to your own life, its personal, cultural and archetypal meanings, the opposites and shadow it evokes, and your bodily experiences. Finally, you bring together what the process has brought into your awareness and consider what this understanding means in your own life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside the exercises, the workbook offers material that deepens your understanding of the psychology of symbols, the unconscious and the thought of C. G. Jung. It also considers memory, bodily responses and the formation of meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat can a symbol tell you about yourself?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this workbook, a symbol can be any image, figure, object, animal, place, word or other element that, for some reason, feels more meaningful to you than usual. It may recur in dreams or thoughts, catch your attention in everyday life, or remain in your mind after a single powerful experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Jungian thought, symbols can bring into consciousness psychic content that we do not yet recognise or understand within ourselves. \u003cem\u003eWorking with a Symbol\u003c\/em\u003e teaches a method for understanding the message conveyed by a symbol and exploring why this particular symbol has emerged, what it evokes, and how it may relate to your life situation, emotions and inner world. Symbols are the language of the unconscious. Through them, the unconscious conveys information, and by working with symbols a person can develop a relationship with their own unconscious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe workbook gives you a method to return to whenever a new symbol emerges or a familiar symbol once again begins to feel significant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou can read more about how the unconscious speaks to us through symbols here:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/semiphoras.com\/en\/pages\/symbolityoskentely\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eArticle on working with symbols\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/semiphoras.com\/en\/blogs\/blogi\/semiphoras-symbolinen-tyoskentely-ei-ole-taikauskoa\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBlog: Working with symbols is not superstition\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIn the workbook, you will work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe personal meaning of a symbol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecultural and archetypal meanings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eshadow and opposites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebodily responses evoked by a symbol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexperiential exercises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eapplying the understanding gained through the process to your own life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe workbook is designed for independent work.
