Course Objectives for “Soul Quest”
The concept of the five spirits in Chinese medicine can be connected to the work of Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who developed analytical psychology. Jung's ideas on the human psyche and the process of individuation can provide a framework to understand the connections. In this course we explore these connections:
Hun (魂) and the Collective Unconscious The Hun can be seen as the individual's connection to the collective unconscious, the realm of dreams, and the spiritual dimensions.
Po (魄) and the Body: Po, the corporeal soulThe Po's role in sensations, movement, and survival instincts aligns with Jung's emphasis on integrating the body and its wisdom into the individuation journey.
Shen (神) and the Self: Shen, the spirit or mind in Chinese medicine, can be connected to Jung's concept of the Self. , Shen represents consciousness, mental functions, and emotional well-being. Both concepts emphasize the importance of integrating and harmonizing different aspects of the psyche for personal growth and well-being.
