Michigan ~ Friends of Jung
The Psyche-Body Connection as understood by C.G. Jung
Judith Harris M.A.
Graduate of the C. G. Jung Institute, Zurich
Contrary to popular thought, Carl Gustav Jung was intensely interested in the relationship between mind and body, or, in more modern terms, in the relationship between psyche and soma. In fact, Jung often said that it is not only possible but probable that psyche and soma are intimately connected, albeit in some mysterious way. These mysteries are only now beginning to become unravelled in the fields of medicine, Jungian analysis, neuroscience, psychoneuroimmunology, to name but a few. We will look specifically at the space between, so to speak, where psyche and matter meet -- a space which encompasses the Zero-Point Field in quantum physics as well as what is popularly called the subtle body.
