Change Your Story, Change Your Life : Using Shamanic and Jungian Tools to Achieve Personal Transformation

__Change Your Story, Change Your Life__ is a practical self-help guide to personal transformation using traditional shamanic techniques combined with journaling and Carl Greer’s method for dialoguing that draws upon Jungian active imagination. The exercises inspire readers to work with insights and energies derived during the use of modalities that tap into the unconscious so that they may consciously choose the changes they would like to make in their lives and begin implementing them. We all have a story, but what we often don't realize is that we are the storytellers, and we can rewrite the story at any time to make it more satisfying. In Change Your Story, Change Your Life , Jungian analyst and shamanic practitioner Carl Greer has written a practical guide for transformation using the overlooked tool of the unconscious mind. Drawing on his knowledge of shamanism from both North American and South American indigenous trainings and his background in Jungian analytic psychology, Greer presents exercises for examining our current story and techniques for working with the archetypal energies that power it. Greer helps us to tap into wisdom and power hidden from us when we're in ordinary consciousness. Greer explains his method for dialoguing with archetypal energies, symbols, emotions, and inner figures--a method inspired by Jungian active imagination. By journeying into unseen worlds usually hidden from our awareness, we can identify, understand, and work with the various energies that both influence our stories and determine the themes that reoccur in our lives.Then, we can ensure that the changes we want to make will last until we are ready to change the story once again. Providing invaluable information about working with archetypal energies encountered in nature and dreams and during shamanic journeys, Change Your Story, Change Your Life is a practical and engaging guide for anyone looking to achieve transformation.
