Jung pioneered the technique of active imagination, a process
by which the ego engages with imagery and content generated by the
unconscious. Active imagination can help us understand our dreams,
and lead us into new psychic situations. On today's episode, we
share some personal examples of active imagination, discuss some
suggestions of how to engage in it, and explore what active
imagination has to do with snorkeling.

I am about to light four candles on the dining room table, each in its separate candlestick. They are ivory-colored tapers and are about two-thirds consumed already. Two of the burned wicks are quite short and two are long, curling at the top. I am arrested by this fact as it seems significant and I’m somewhat afraid of getting it wrong somehow.
