or abusing them). According to analytical psychology, all human beings retain unconscious memories of their childhood perceptions.

However, there are “shadows”

Each archetype has its positive and negative side. The negative side is referred as its shadow.

We also have our shadow side. Our shadow is that parts of ourselves we have rejected or denied. Shadow includes those instinctual urges we wish to deny.

They are the rejected parts of ourselves. It is least familiar to our conscious mind. It can include our sexual desires, desires for power, anger, fears, and much more.

But our shadow is a natural part of us. As long as it goes unacknowledged it will create mischievous. It become hostile when it is ignored or misunderstood.

Making allies of our shadow is an important part of individuation.

Journeying, Trance, and Altered States of Collective Consciousness and Its Archetypes

Journeying is how one travels to the Collective Consciousness, attracting Archetypes. Before discussing journeying, however, we need first to discuss ordinary and non-ordinary reality.

Ordinary reality is the day-to-day reality that most of us usually inhabit or are aware. It is the reality of the five senses and the left-brain. It is the reality of our jobs, raising children, doing laundry, etc. Non-ordinary reality adds additional dimensions. Non-ordinary reality, perceived by the intuitive mind of the right brain, lies beyond our five senses. Journeying involves moving into or working in non-ordinary reality and is predominantly right-brain work.

To journey one first enters into a trance-state or altered state of consciousness.

Among the many ways to enter a trance are drumming, drugs, hypnosis, meditation, dance or pathworking, and dreaming. Additionally, the ceremonies used by many indigenous people—e.g., sweat lodges, vision quests, fire walks—

can move one into trance. Drumming is one of the universal methods. I want to discuss it first, and then how to enhance the journeying effect by combining drumming with contemporary hypnosis and neural linguistic programming a process one may call “Hypno-Journeying”.
