Did you know that our dreams can be used for personal development? Dream theorist and Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung, suggested that our dreams give us honest portrayals of who we really are and can offer glimpse and visions of possibilities for the future. Our dreams really have all of the ingredients needed for supreme transformation and self-actualization!
This week on INSIDE THE WOONIVERSE, I’m speaking with Machiel Klerk: dream expert, licensed mental health therapist, author, social entrepreneur and founder of both the Jung Society of Utah – and Jung Platform. Fascinated by ancient and modern healing traditions, Machiel has traveled all over the globe, studying dream technologies and techniques with dream therapists, Shamans, and Jungian analysts alike.
In this conversation, we speak about ways to see beyond this world, connecting to the soul through our dreams, and a special technique Machiel teaches to ask for and receive guidance from our dreams.
