Melissa and Jared talk about the polarity between the masculine archetype and the feminine archetype. Compares to the Jungian concept of the Anima and Animus. We must wake up to the one end of the polarity that is operating within us, or we can’t see the other end of the polarity. Healthy development of both is discussed.

Melissa and Jared speak to the body and how the society socializes us to be disembodied. We look at the body as something to be ignored or shaped to fit a certain image that really makes the body an enemy. How we learn to listen to what the body has to say is discussed and several examples given. Authenticity without embodiment is performance. The body can hold what arises. The body is where we go to interrupt the ego interpretation or story.

The Vessel. Pulling from the concepts of alchemy as identified by Carl Jung. When experiences happen, when those images come from soul we need to create a container that we can hold these experiences in. Like a beaker in a chemistry experience, there are three qualities this container, this vessel, must have: 1) Clarity-awakening to what is going on. Putting a name to the experience that is arising. It will be hard to get clarity if we are hiding. 2) Strength-Being in a place where we can hold on to the experience and approach it with curiosity. The heat of continually checking in with it. 3) Restraint-Holding on to the experience, not being so quick to dismiss it or move on to the next thing, some experiences may take 6+ years to uncover themselves and also not being so quick to share the experience.

One way to enhance vesseling is by making and keeping the appointment with self. Some sort of spiritual practice that can be done every day and then we keep that appointment every day. Various options of appointments are explored.
