Summary

DREAM WITH US, and we’ll teach you how to interpret them!⁠⁠⁠


Today you'll learn about inner guidance--the quiet, built-in compass that surfaces when we pause the outer noise long enough to feel what rings true inside. It is less a mystical oracle than a subtle convergence of bodily signals, emotional undertones, and intuitive "hunches" distilled from our lived experience.


When we meet a decision with open attention—neither forcing a rational verdict nor surrendering to raw impulse—this inner faculty sorts, weighs, and hints at the direction that aligns with our deepest values. Acting on it demands two skills: discerning authentic signals from fear or wishful thinking and then trusting ourselves enough to follow through. Practiced regularly, inner guidance becomes a dialogue between conscious intention and the wiser, often quieter currents of the Self.

Thank you. Today we're going to talk about inner guidance, which seems very apropos.

1:00.6

Right now, particularly in this environment of rapid and unpredictable change in the world in many different domains,

1:08.2

it's difficult to know where to look in order to orient ourselves, both internally and externally.

1:12.6

So as Jungians, this is something that we ponder,

1:15.4

something that we work with,

1:18.2

and in the larger sense,

1:22.1

it has something to do with the relationship with the outer world versus the relationship to the inner world.

1:26.1

So we're going to move around this topic a bit because it seems

1:31.4

so relevant and I think so useful. And of course one of the best ways to attend to the inner

that wisdom and that guidance.

material there. And you get to spend time with each one of us every month in live events. So

2:10.5

check it out. So as part of inner guidance dream work, of course, is central to that.

2:21.3

But I'd like to just start a little bit from the mysticism of the idea of inner guidance, because of course there is a very pragmatic
