In this exercise, you'll engage with the four main functions of the INTJ personality type through active imagination. You'll meet the Seer (introverted intuition), the Commander (extraverted thinking), the Lover (introverted feeling), and the Tactician (extraverted sensing) in symbolic form, allowing for direct dialogue with different aspects of your mind.

You can do this exercise whether you are an INTJ, or not but wish to understand and work with the INTJ mind.

This exercise uses active imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation.

In any kind of inner work, working with feeling is of utmost importance. This involves first being aware of feeling and then being willing to confront the tension that it brings into your conscious awareness. This guided exercise focuses on a technique called bare attention—directing your awareness to the direct and raw experience of what you are actually experiencing. It combines traditional meditation techniques with active imagination - a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation.

In this active imagination exercise, you'll perform what I call simply Core Practice - a foundational technique you can use on a regular, if not daily basis. The idea here is that this is a very basic technique without deciding ahead of time which seed you're going to work with today. Instead, you're going to be simply listening to your mind, to your body and letting it give you a steer and working with that as the inspiration for the dialogue with the unconscious.

This exercise uses active imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation.

In this exercise, we're using a technique I call core practice. This is a basic, stripped down active imagination exercise you can use on a daily basis. The idea is that you don't need to decide ahead of time what you're going to be working with. Instead, you're going to listen and respond to your mind, because it usually has a way of telling us what needs to be worked on. It communicates with us through emotion, images, thoughts, memories, and dreams.

This exercise uses active imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation.

In this exercise, you'll work directly with the shadow - a key concept in Jungian psychology. As James Hollis defines it, the shadow is "that which is difficult to confront in ourselves." This includes any parts of our minds that we don't like, deny, or push away - behaviours, traits, and clusters of psychic content we'd rather not face.

Using a recent situation where you felt indignant or experienced injustice as a starting point, you'll meet in symbolic form the part of yourself that's difficult to confront. Through guided visualisation, you'll enter a liminal space where shadow material can emerge and be engaged with directly.

This exercise uses Active Imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation.
