Have you ever fallen ill or had someone close to you get diagnosed with an illness and wonder if there is some psychological element to it? Those who follow personal and spiritual growth paths often blame themselves for “attracting” their illness or think of it as some gift or lesson that they needed to learn.

So, how can you deal with illness, body wellness from a psychospiritual perspective? Can you consciously return your body to optimal health through shadow work?

Over the years, some of our clients had some health issues and the process of shadow work has helped them deal with the emotional and physical discomforts of what their body was going through at the time. Working with their emotions, active imagination and being willing to access their inner wisdom they felt more empowered. In fact, many of our graduates take the extra step of our advanced Mind-Body Coaching specialty training to work in that specific niche when they experience the breakthroughs in their own wellness.

In this week’s Soul Sessions by CreativeMind, Shadow Work and Mind-Body Coaching, Debra and Dr. Rob Maldonado explore how our mind and body are interconnected and how this relationship impacts our overall well-being. Drawing from Jungian psychology and Eastern philosophy, they discuss:

• Misinterpretations of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras from a Western materialistic perspective.
• The concept of "Maya" and how our perceptions create our reality.
• The impact of negative thinking and emotional pain on physical health.
• Mind and body as part of singular consciousness
• How illnesses might arise from unconscious patterns influenced by personal history and environment.

We also touch on practical aspects of optimizing health:

• Importance of food, breathing, and sleep.
• Managing stress and the effects of a sedentary lifestyle.
• How illness can prompt personal growth and self-awareness.
• Integrating Eastern philosophical concepts with modern Western medicine for holistic health.

In our latest episode, “Envy and Authority: Your Shadow at Work,” we discuss the intricate dynamics of how our hidden self—our Shadow—plays out in the workplace. If you’ve ever found yourself resenting a colleague, feeling unappreciated by your boss, or struggling with envy and competition, this episode is a must-listen. Here are some key insights we discussed:

🔍 Unpacking Projections:

We explore how individuals project familial dynamics onto workplace authority figures. Your boss might unconsciously represent a parental figure, influencing your interactions and behavior in unexpected ways. If you had a difficult boss or envied a co-worker, understanding projections can help you gain insight and freedom.

🌱 Persona vs. Shadow:

Understand the critical Jungian concepts of Persona and Shadow. Your Persona is the face you present to the world, particularly in professional settings, while your Shadow houses the parts of yourself you tend to hide. The tension between these can lead to significant professional challenges.

🌟 Personal Development and Self-awareness:

Debra shares her personal journey towards self-improvement and how it enhanced her work relationships. Recognizing and mitigating unconscious patterns through personal development can lead to a more fulfilling professional life.

🌿 The Role of Family Dynamics:

Learn how critical parental figures shape your responses to authority and feedback in the workplace. Addressing these projections can help improve your interactions with superiors.

🏆 Envy and Competitiveness:

Competition and envy are natural but can be detrimental if left unchecked. By understanding these feelings and engaging in shadow work, you can transform negative emotions into empowering actions.

🔑 Effective Communication:

Effective leadership and professional relationships hinge on clear communication. We discuss the importance of understanding your reactions and motivations before engaging with colleagues, to avoid projection and enhance clarity.

Explore how you can make your work relationships more productive and enjoyable by understanding a little more about yourself and Jungian Psychology.
