Second method: The energy ball and archetypal resources

The energy ball technique can be elaborated by adding the archetypal resources of tenderness, positive fierceness, and playfulness (Gilligan, 1997). In previous work, I proposed these energies as core resources for creative consciousness. That is, optimal performance requires the yin (receptive) skills of tenderness, soothing, kindness, and gentleness; the yang (active) skills of positive fierceness, focus and commitment, a good “bullshit detector,” and taking life seriously; and the shape-shifting wizard skills of playfulness, nimbleness, and generativity. In a stuck state, at least one of these energies is missing or in its dark (neuromuscularly locked) form; so by adding them into a trance field, these resources can be transformative.
