This book explains: How drawing abstract shapes such as a vertical or a circle can evoke archetypal life pattens How to express strong emotions safely in a non-verbal way How the body-mind connects us to mythic depth How to journey through the twelve phases of transformation such as birth, success, surrender, death and rebirth into wholeness Guided Drawing is a unique art therapy technique; a creative way to tell our Greater Story. Archetypes are evoked through the mindful repetition of simple abstract shapes, often with both hands and closed eyes. In trusting one’s inner guidance the unconscious can reveal painful memories, destructive powers, but also unexpected wisdom and abundant healing. Decades of development have created this invaluable tool for therapists, students and artists that combines Jungian Analytical Psychology, transpersonal approaches, bodywork and art.
