What Your Spirit Animal Reveals About You

About this episode

This episode explores the animal archetypes of the unconscious mind and their significance in understanding personal identity and instincts.

We don’t just admire animals by accident. Carl Jung believed part of the human psyche is animal, instinctual, and pre-verbal. When that part is ignored, it doesn’t disappear; it projects. This video explores the animal archetypes of the unconscious mind and what your attraction to specific animals reveals about the power, instinct, and identity you’ve buried to survive in a modern world. This is about reclaiming the part of you that civilization trained you to suppress.
