Spiritual awakening isn’t just found in plant medicine—our own individuation process can lead us to transformative insights. – Dr. Rob Maldonado
If you want to become a life coach and wonder how you can help others, listen to our recent Soul Sessions podcast episode to explore how our unique Jungian coaching model is the future of coaching.
How Plant Medicine Relates to Jungian Coaching
There has been a boom in interest in plant medicine and we get many questions from our clients and students on how it relates to Jungian Coaching.
Plant Medicine and The Unconscious
The plant medicine journey helps to suppress the part of the brain that usually keeps us from connecting to the unconscious mind in a direct way. This spiritual awakening process can also be created through other means besides plant medicine such as meditation, yoga, active imagination, dreamwork and lucid dreaming.
There is so much more to who we are than what we are conscious of and if you are interested in spiritual experiences, understanding the collective unconscious in Jungian Psychology will give you a framework to integrate your spiritual awakening.
We dedicated our new Soul Sessions: A Jungian Coaching podcast episode on the topic of Plant Medicine and Jungian Psychology, Dr. Rob shares his personal experiences with plant medicine from his cultural background and why his views have evolved through his academic journey.
