Meditation and a journey into ancestral memories<\/h3>\n

Imagine an apple.<\/em>
You can see it, touch it, smell it, and remember its taste…<\/p>\n

Now, imagine an illness<\/em>.
What shape can you give it?
What sound does it make?
What is its texture to the touch? Or its taste, or smell…
You might associate it with the part of the body it affects, or the symptoms it causes… Even with the virus that transmits it.
But you will never form a complete picture of its origin\u2014of the root cause<\/strong> that triggered the ailment, the dysfunction, or the emotional blockage disrupting your harmony. <\/p>\n

Finally… Try to put a face to the unconscious<\/em>.
Impossible. <\/p>\n

Since the dawn of civilization, ancient healing sciences<\/strong>\u2014namely medicine<\/em> and magic<\/em>, in their manifold forms (alchemy, shamanism<\/a>, spirituality, surgery, herbal medicine, etc.)\u2014have harnessed the most powerful faculty at the human being’s disposal: imagination<\/strong>. They used it to compensate for a lack of tools and gaps in knowledge.<\/p>\n

\n

Symbols, archetypes, deities, religions, fantastic beings, and demons have embodied fears and diseases, traumas and memories, giving a soul to everything that exists, from flowers to stars…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is not the place to explain practices like meditation<\/strong><\/em> or hypnosis<\/strong><\/em> in depth, but let\u2019s try to dispel a few myths, understand where they lead us, and see what they are actually for.<\/p>\n

To do so, let us start again from the very element we cannot imagine: the unconscious.<\/p>\n

We are all more or less aware that the mind is generally considered to have three divisions: the conscious, the subconscious, and the unconscious. While various traditions and schools of thought define them differently, we can broadly say that the conscious is the aware part\u2014our ordinary state of consciousness; the unconscious comprises everything deep within us of which we are unaware; and the subconscious is the intermediate region\u2014a “buffer zone” acting as a link between the other two. <\/p>\n

Okay, we have the theory, but in practice, we haven\u2019t solved anything! We lack an image of these regions or states of mind; we lack a vocabulary of places, words, or sensations to help us identify and classify them, thereby enabling us to access them. <\/p>\n

\n

It is precisely here that the disciplines of mental coaching<\/strong><\/em>, meditation<\/strong><\/em> or guided visualization<\/strong><\/em>, and regressive hypnosis<\/em><\/strong> come into play.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Starting from a conscious state, light hypnosis and guided visualization techniques help the mind relax, leading the practitioner to an imaginary location known as a \u201csafe place<\/em>\u201d in psychology and a \u201cSacred Garden<\/em>\u201d in shamanic tradition; it is an environment where the meditator feels at home, at peace, protected, and in harmony. Typically, it is a place immersed in nature\u2014such as a forest, a beach, the seaside, a riverbank, a mountain lake, and so on… <\/p>\n

It is the mental representation of the subconscious\u2014the bridge to opening the portal that leads to our unconscious, to that deepest, otherwise inaccessible realm which harbors traumas, blockages, and ancestral memories.<\/em><\/p>\n

Throughout the session, the practitioner remains fully alert and can describe what they are seeing; the hypnosis is never excessively deep. It is simply a method\u2014comprising various techniques such as voice, breathing, visualization, and subtle energy\u2014designed to guide the mind into a light trance state, making it intuitive, receptive, and open to the flow of images arising from consciousness…<\/p>\n
