Course: Become Who You Are Individuation Summit on Jung Platform
The feminine erotic soul is about so much more than sexuality. It has to do with sensuality and embodiment, with a spiritual relationship to the earth and with ability to tune into our own bodily sensations. Matriarchal religions were practiced through the body in singing, dancing, and mourning. Patriarchal religions try to take us out of our bodies.
The more that you are in touch with your own body, the more you’re able to get below consciousness and into an imaginal place that supports healing. Jungian analyst Erica Lorentz asserts that when you get to that level of sensing in yourself, you are in touch with your soul.
## Three Little Ways to Do This
When you first wake up, don’t jump out of bed. Move gently in bed, feeling the sheets and blankets, feeling the energy in your body.
Be in nature with a lunar consciousness. This means **not** identifying and labelling things (“there’s a daisy”) but, rather, trying to relax your focus and sense what’s around you.
Close your eyes. Listen to the impulses in your body and allow your body to tell you what you want to do.
