The Passageway as Living Image. Medieval Women, Mysticism and the Feminine “Side” of the Divine. Dr Maria Grazia Calzà

To C.G. Jung, our imagination is the doorway to divinity: it serves as a symbolic intermediary allowing for the imaging of the imageless divine.

These living images allowed medieval women mystics to stand in relationship with the transcendent; a transcendent that over-flowed their consciousness, transmuted and grounded it in their body. In their numinous experiences, they envisioned Jesus as an “incarnational form” of divinity (Self; Jung’s “God within us”) that was feminine in nature, a “continuum with” rather than an “opposition to” their ordinary feminine experience of embodiment.

Professional Development Training in BodyDreaming® Module 8: Marian Dunlea with Pauline Sayhi, Patricia Llosa & Abigail Whyte

An Approach to The Numinous (Part 2)

Marian Dunlea with Patricia Llosa, Pauline Sayhi and Abigail Whyte

Exploring the Numinous

In these three modules of the BodyDreaming Training, we will explore how to approach the numinous in an embodied way . As in St. Exupery’s “The Little Prince” (“Le Petit Prince”), in order to receive the encounter with the numinous, we must first be “tamed”. Our approach is therefore to proceed by building trust , titrating the activation that arises and creating ritual.

BodyDreaming prepares us to receive the numinous at a cellular level. It allows us to be present in a way that expands our consciousness, bringing us into greater communion with all life.

By establishing an embodied home for our soul, we begin to realise that our body and soul, psyche and matter, are each reflectors of the numinous, what Jung referred to as the “hint of the god” (Jung, 1997, p. 919).

Module 8 is the penultimate of the final three modules in the BodyDreaming training programme. Using the somatic practices and theory that form the basis of BodyDreaming, we will work on dreams and images in our small groups. 

We will focus on the method of embodied active imagination to enable the dream image to move in our bodies, to speak to us from the somatic unconscious. We recognise that our body and psyche are not distinct and separate, rather they form a continuous wave of Self–regulation. In the process something totally new presents itself, heralding the possibility of meeting and engaging with the numinous.
