How do skin conditions give voice to silent suffering in our souls?
GO DIRECTLY TO THE DREAM INTERPRETATION: 49:35
Our skin serves as a canvas for our emotional and psychological states, manifesting internal conflicts through visible conditions. The symbolic meaning behind skin conditions can reveal deep-seated emotional issues. Self-inflicted lesions highlight an individual's internal turmoil, serving as a cry for help. We all understand how blushing and sweating provide outer clues about our psychological landscape. Skin, a boundary between ego and the external world, exists as a threshold organ where experiences enter us and responses are displayed. Applying Jung’s symbolic attitude to our body can lead us to hidden meanings in our skin that may release us from suffering.
Prepare to discover what your skin can reveal about your unconscious conflicts; how a symbolic interpretation of specific symptoms can lead to a meaningful dialogue with the unconscious; which therapeutic approaches can effectively decipher the language of skin symptoms; whether addressing emotional well-being can improve chronic skin issues; why some of us are more vulnerable to somatic symptoms like skin reactions…and so much more.

It not just the skin though. Every aliment, dis-ease, physical pain, it is all the body trying to tell you to evaluate your thoughts and feelings and learn to master yourself so nothing outside of you can rock you… or you will continue to suffer. We are not meant to suffer. Our body loves us so much it tries to show us where we need to let go, tell a new more positive story, and focus on now not what happened or what might happen. Yet the way most people talk about their body or appearance… we don’t offer the same love back so it continues to get worse over time. Take time everyday to thank your body. It’s doing all it can to wake you up and keep you alive. Give it the love it deserves back. ✨💜✨
Yes but for those with some skin issues it’s good to discuss it in specificity. I’m appreciative.
As someone that has many tattoes, I have now realised that they were a way to 'feel', and could be argued to be a form of self harm. By getting tattoed, experiencing pain and being allowed to feel the pain. Parts of my shadow wanted to scream and cry. Parts that were sad and angry, presenting through the process of pain. My Persona was someone that was tatooed and care free and cool. Deep inside I was lost, sad, couldn't express emotions in a healthy way. My skin was that borderland between the outside world and my Inside world.
Thank you for sharing :)
Wow. Thank you for sharing. Very thought provoking and enlightening
Wow that’s deep. Very self-aware of you to verbalize it.
I feel exactly the same way
I had a similar thought about that- that tattooing and piercing was a form of self "harm". I think you're right. I think maybe because people may feel deeply hurt and numb in a way- the needles in tattooing and piercing definitely let us feel deeply, cutting through the numbness. Also , I think it probably releases some chemicals I'm sure..
They used to think that the skin was the largest organ. That was before they discovered the fascia. The fascia the Basha is another miracle in it contains the nervous system circulatory system. This has a huge effect on the skin.
The fascia will be the portal to really grasp the energetic aspect of our organism. Exciting times ahead!
Yoga has always stated that our nerves were the real deal.
The skin is surface of the subconscious. Only our eyes poke through :)
I wish everyone knew this. Having lymphatic and lipedema issues my entire life and no one diagnosing me with either issue since no one seemed to ever study the fascia is simply astounding to me. My mother, who is a physical therapist and has all these medical books in our home growing up of cadavers showed me that when they cut open dead bodies to “learn about the body” - doctors REMOVED THE FASCIA! They completely stripped it off the bones and muscles of our skeletal system. So, even though lipedema has been known about since the 1940’s, and millions of women have this condition, we don’t get diagnosed with it. Lipedemic fat is held in the fascia and a different kind of “fat” than the kind that develops from what we eat and do not burn. It’s painful and touches upon our nerves. We get told to “lose weight”, but lipedemic fat doesn’t respond to a diet or exercise! Imagine that. Painful fat that will not go away no matter what you do. Can you imagine a worse kind of hell?! And other people gaslighting you when you tell them you are eating an appropriate diet AND exercising! That is an entirely new kind of hell to be in. Over and over again for generation after generation the female body and psyche has been radically misunderstood, misdiagnosed or categorized through the lens of a male psyche and huge harm has occurred due to this. Not wanting to punish, but wanting to wake up others. Make sure you question thoroughly and look into everything on your own behalf especially if you’re a woman.
I didn’t know the fascia is the largest organ
Skin contact regulates temperature. I can’t remember any physical affection from either of my parents and I was always cold as a child.
It brought tears to my eyes to hear the truth of my childhood excels. I was exposed to the world too early and yes it was on my left eye for the most part until I dissociated from my family of origin in New W gland and moved to another local more suited to my healthy self in St Pete. Also used Udderly Smooth which is still available and does heal it i promise❤️
😢 oh my! Same here
Me too, no contact from parents as child
Wow. I'm so sorry to all of you. 😢
Wow. Though I know this is a reality for many it’s terrible to read and visualize. Bless and heal us all 💗
This has been such a profound episode for me. I was born with chronic ezcema, recently had a melanoma, and a virus that paralysed my face. Everything that was said in this episode was soothing to hear.
I had severe ezcema my whole life, unable to swim in the ocean as my skin was too raw and burn from the salt water. Unable to do so many things.
Recently, I went through a divorce, I left my job, I was in for 15 years, I didn't like, and I have been ezcema free now for months!
Thank you, TJL, for your constant wisdom. ❤
Can relate
what helped you get rid of your eczema. my chronic eczema is awful and nothing at all helps.. I'm on pain meds because of them
Looks like you are the chosen one to reverse the cycle of anxiety and low self-worth in your female lineage or even the male lineage side.❤ because if you are born with something you took on all the thoughts of the mother as we all do, any powerful energies that she was emitting, whether it be fear, or lack of support during pregnancy, anything less than cherishing adoring respectful genuine unconditional love that a mother experiences...... will impact us. There are babies that are actually born angry because the mother couldn't defend herself against an abuser while she was pregnant and children sence all of it. They do not need to be told anything..
That's what a lot of people don't understand, they're going by the energy in the home which is where ADHD etc comes from, if there is any Discord or hidden anything..... children always sense that..
They're attempting to process with brains that aren't developed yet so the body must act out. Children are not here to fit into the world, they are here to shine and stand out and teach their parents and those around them what's actually real, not the distorted nonsensical illusionary world that was created before they got here. And of course if the child isn't receiving Pure Food and pure water exercise and a lack of chemicals preservatives, how can I get a good start?. But every Starseed will be different.. 🧑👧
get to know your body, get to love and accept every inch of an unconditionally, you can reverse any illness in your body. The medical system rarely assists.. instead it perpetuates it and slows down healing.😢 always be barefoot in nature or get a grounding mat because when things are angry or inflamed that's when we see illness or ailments and especially skin eruptions. We need to release ego anger and attachment just like Buddhism teaches😊
Detaching from the external world and anyone else's expectations, especially family, because they love to try guilt and shame which really belongs to them, so never take that on.. and ceasing people pleasing others in order to be liked or accepted. That creates a huge sense of freedom, 😄because everything you've ever looked for, whether it be validation or acceptance or unconditional love.. can only be found within❤
Amazing!
Im not an expert. Im just a survivor of the worst kind of Trauma. All I know is how bad this feels. If you dont experience the feeling of being trusted and valued when you are very young, you will search for that basic need for the rest of your life. Its really an incredible journey, that you alone will travel. The truth is nobody cared then and theyll never care now. Im staying on the pathway i have found, and everyone and everything , will have to be ignored by me. Sometimes seperating yourself from the Toxicity and violence is imperative to your survival. Certain famillies slowly kill.one another. You can clearly see it happening only if youre not too close to the situation.
The deep and dark visions are the least understood
😢every child deserve a descent life, Earth is a harsh planet
May your journey round the bend where you are and feel loved safe and valued ❤because we all count
U are so right.. Good luck on your journey.
Proud of you. I've moved onward myself and found peace waiting for me. Prayers❤
And everyone and everything,will have to be ignored by me. I love this line honestly..i only find peace with myself and i have been doing this too ,for me,for my peace,,and nobody gets us anyway..well anyways have a great day/night
I love how you said the skin betrays the ego. I feel the same can be said for the voice. Fascinating conversation, thank you.
Yes, as someone that does “baby voice” and also keeps hearing the vocal fry in other people, I’m waiting for a deep dive.
On point
Could you expand what you mean by the voice please?
I love how no one’s competing to speak, but everything that is being said is of value. Great topic and patient/precious delivery
Three experts at giving others a chance to be heard.
That is a sign of higher conscience
45:17 “the skin reveals a wound suffered internally”
Thanks for this "touching" riff on skin! It reminded me of just starting inner child work about 20 years ago (for CPTS issues), it took many invitations in meditations before she finally appeared. I was horrified when she did, that she was a so small, a four-footed little critter, oozing from having been skinned! My heart broke for her and somehow I knew what to do to nurse her and comfort her. I built her a "house of honor" to heal in. She has taught me so much since then, including to make and generously apply my own skin creams. She now usually appears plump and rosy, even when in emotional distress. This has been the most valuable work I have ever done, both inner and outer.
Lovely, thanks for sharing.
WOW! I would love to SEE my inner child! She'd probably look very thin and very frightened of the people who were supposed to protect her.
Wow.
Wow. Its beautifil
@@robertafierro5592😢 (hugs ) to you and your inner child. ❤
38:40 On psoriasis - hopefully this part helps anyone who's been looking for some answers around psoriasis (my partner has this and I find this part so applicable to him) 🙏
thank you!
Really interesting episode. There is a book on this topic called called Skin Disease , a Message from the Soul by Anne Maguire, a dermatologist who became a Jungian analyst, which has some fascinating case studies.
@ant_ace thank you for this recommendation- have just ordered it. Have had many skin issues over the years and this title really resonates
Can you heal from it though? 😢
Found out in 2015 that my memoir of surviving horrible abuse had been copyright infringed and my entire body developed skin lesions called stress induced nummular eczema and my hair started falling out. So skin is very responsive to the good and bad going on in our world.
I do cosmetic and scar revision tattooing and I have felt for years that not only do I stimulate emotions for the client but I definitely feel that their skin talks to me as I work. Current research is showing that the macrophage cell holds tattoo ink, and passes it to the neighboring cell every 2 weeks. So fascinating, thank you for the topic, pretty endless….
That is very interesting to me, thanks for sharing! 🤍🦋🫶🏼
I have piercing scars on my face from cheek piercings, have you ever treated anything like that? I'm not sure there's a way to get rid of them.
You hear the skin? Does it say.. ahhhhhhhh!!
Do You have any suggestion how to treat infection from extra earrings in ear? Thank You
I always wondered, as a massage therapist, why ink stays when the skin is constantly over turning! So wild!
I haven’t even gotten 5 min into this & I’m already grateful for the subject … diagnosed DID & complex trauma in my 40s …I’ve had severe psoriasis since I was 19
I made a connection with Jung's understanding of archetypes, the shadow, complex trauma and psychological splitting. I still have 'parts' interfere when I'm not well but overall we learned to integrate. It has occurred to me that every individual person has parts and the level of splitting or separation will vary depending on their unique traits and experiences.
I pray you find miraculous healing on your own journey 🙏 ❤️ 💪
Niacin is what can help you with psoriasis. It helped my friend when he came home from Iraq. It was so stressful for him but now it looks like its all cleared up.
Niacin is a vitamin that makes you flushed when it is taken, stimulating your skin making it warm and a bit itchy briefly.
Try to avoid egg in diet it may help
Thank you for the bottom of my soul for this episode. I have psoriasis and it always appears when I have inner conflicts. Sending love from Romania ❤❤❤❤
I was in love with a guy who treated me poorly, but i didt realized it and was trying to get his attention. My skin became really bad, i always felt dirty, i have some strange rash around the mouth, all the doctors say it's dermatitis, but i couldn't cure it anyhow.
Just after i stop talking to him it disappeared. Basically, my body made me untouchable, to prevent him from touching me omg😂make so much sense feels like magic
Girl I’m exactly same except developed rash near my stomach and undie line I never had before. Left that man and healed it
I recently heard a lot of similar cases. That's what made this video intriguing.
Even though skin to skin is natural for mother and child, hospitals still charge for skin to skin when your child is born. I saw it on my EOB after having my kids. Just blew my mind!
They charge you for touching your own child 😅
Might be worth contesting that charge, goodness! crazy US medical system🙄
Charge ?!!!! I wasn't charged,my baby rested on my skin for hours every day ,tubes and all
Ex-biologist here:
Nerves and the sense of "touch" evolved before skin, but not by very much. Skin and skin-like outer membranes that had the ability to feel evolved very early in the history of life on earth 🌍❤ evolutionary speaking the sense of touch and skin go hand in hand
Skin is evolved from nerve cells...
when I heard this part of the video (when they wondered if touch wasn’t the most ancient of our senses), I thought that taste must be the most ancient . I say ‘taste’ but perhaps I mean ‘smell’ - anyway, I’m imagining way back when there was only one sense; so what was it? . perhaps at that stage, that one sense is the ancestor of what we now call taste, smell, and touch
40:20 "Where do you feel forced to come forward prematurely?" (psoriasis, eczema)
44:10 "What's getting under your skin? What anxieties are you not attending to? Where were you misunderstood or neglected?" (skin lesions - the suffering becomes visible; skin picking disorders)
As someone who struggles with excoriation, I really appreciate this conversation 🙏
I was born prematurely.... I have psoriasis.....
As a person who was mistakenly “diagnosed” with this, I would caution all doctors and psychiatrists/psychologists to understand that they are a HUGE number of things (bacteria, viruses, fungi etc) that can cause an autoimmune dysfunction leading to open sores on the skin. Too many doctors go straight to the “mental illness” diagnosis. It is becoming malpractice. People are dying from treatable diseases because practitioners only see mental health problems. I guess when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail..
Fascia-nating
ha nice one
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
YAHbsolutely❣️
Skin deep
Omg!!!! I've had eczema my whole life.... done EVERYthing for it.... and in this video finally think I've nailed it.... or rather you nailed it and I felt the truth of it.....
Chronic skin issue becomes the one lifelong consistent thing that never changes.... in a world where everything is changing, the skin never healing is predictable, is consistent!!!!!!!!! As a kid where things were unpredictable at home (Dad Jekyll and Hyde), my skin issue's were consistently bad!!!!!!!!!! Stablility within no stability!!!! = purpose and focus!!!
Where do you not feel ready? Exposed before youre ready?
Skin grows too quickly leaving new cells exposed before fhey are ready?
What reaponsibility have you had ro to take on (extra skin taken on) before you were ready? I'm a Virgo, so felt a lot of responsibility as the peace maker as a kid, expect to be good girl and not act up, good, so internalised it all
❤
Moving away from my home town helped cleared my life long eczema. Same experience. I feel so great now. Living in discomfort is over!
My skin is thin. I am super sensitive. But I have a better self care routine and way better boundaries to support my skin healing!❤
Being in the professional skin industry this was insightful and a fascinating subject. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve found lately that when I become panicked or scared or upset. Once I’m able to actually stop freaking out so much, to the point. Where I’m able move away from what ever it is for m separating myself from. I find myself in front of a mirror. Looking for imperfections. I find them. By now he time I leave my he mirror. My face is now covered in red blotches from me!!
Oh but I’m helping myself. Right. Clearing out my pores. So now I’m taking care of my skin. For weeks. Until it all heals. Going back to its normal state. This is a new compulsive coping mechanism that I have just now labeled as such. Wow. Why??
It is a excellent for anxiety relief when no other options are available
Trichotillomania … look it up.. I got it after Covid but am fully healed now. Goodluck 🙏🏻❤️
What a synchronicity!
Just yesterday we were talking about this with a consultant.
Thanks for this conversation 💜
Very interesting information!! I struggle with melasma, rosacea and keratosis pilares plus a dull skin and lack of firmness for my age ! When growing up I felt very criticized by my mother I would be ashamed of going through it if in front of people or felt disrespected, not loved!
I'm Muslim mother, we are required to breastfeed our babies for two years, so we develop good healthy contact. I noticed that my children even after some graduated we touch more than my colleagues who used to leave their babies at daycare and that my sons are more considerate to my feelings
I am nearly 50, and now becoming a Transpersonal Therapist, so I am going thru a lot of my own traumas by myself because no therapy or psychoanalysis has actually allowed me to go so far. I know my developmental trauma or wounds come through my skin, I am a compulsive picker, and I have been all throughout my life since I was a child, but I am also highly allergic to insect bites, and develop extreme itching all of a sudden. I cover my bites, now living in the tropics so a lot worse then ever, with cirgucal tape, and nobody understands. I do so to stop myself from compulsively picking. I know it is connected to my psyche but I cannot find a way to stop. I am thinking of tattooing all my marks as I feel incredibly self conscious, I feel ashamed of how my skin looks. And when I see this in other people, to me it looks awful, like it makes me feel bad and ashamed of them. I know those are my mirrors. I will keep on looking within to find more answers, so thank you for this. I also recently encouraged a friend to look "deeper" into an eczema condition that wouldn't go and his partner felt insulted by my suggestion as she felt that I was saying it was his fault for having it... (just taking a deep breath as I say this)... This couple pushed me out of our/their social circle. It is hard to be able to see further, than other people are willing to but also because I know skin conditions, as everything else, is a symptom of the psyche. 😢
Sorry for your pain,,,the issues are in our tissues is a well known phrase ❤
Totally understand. You are not alone. I'm still working on "my body is a temple" and some days are better than others. Meditation helped tremendously, started w/5 minutes. Best in healing.
also keeping nails super short and painted😊
I hope you don’t mind me commenting and please ignore/delete if not appropriate….As I was reading your post, I was hearing ‘love the skin you’re in’ and ‘feeling like a leper’ - a deep healing from fully accepting yourself and your skin and to let go of any feelings of shame or embarrassment about how your skin looks.
Specially the skin in the areas that each individual is sensitive at. Like the inner thighs, armpits, neck, back, lips, etc… even our tongue likes to feel
I'm enjoying this conversation. Thanks!
"Hair-pulling disorders.... and other repeated behaviours".
For me, this brought to mind stimming.... repeated behaviours that people on the autistic spectrum perform. Stimming helps regulate our nervous systems. Now there are special toys/devices we can buy to add extra interest to our stimming practices. :) In the case of stimming, the connection is not to a disorder but to neuro-diversity, which is another way of connecting with the world.
Autism also makes a person prone to auto-immune disorders, including lichen sclerosus, a skin disorder that I have had for 20 years. Various weird changes in the mucous membranes are involved. Sometimes there are burning sensations, sometimes itchy ones, always intense. The condition requires treatment with steroid products on a regular basis. It can happen to anyone, no matter age or sex.
My LS is tied to my base chakra, the chakra related to feelings of safety (or lack thereof). Very relevant to a neuro-diverse person in our current version of a neuro-typical world!
How did you know which chakra it's tied to? 🤔
What lovely conversations. The answers we are “asking for “ are within if we can only interpret . Wonderful teachings,
I had breast cancer and my two tumors ulcerated my breast - it was awful - like raw hamburger with no cure . Couldn’t do mastectomy cause of the skin damage and nothin to close it up . Now my ulcers are healed but I have a red snake like discoloration that is all over the breast and up my shoulder . Thry tell me it is skin cancer but have no name for it ? All this occurred and still while caring for my disabled husband who I have had difficulty with for a long time but the good girl I am does what’s right . I know it but can’t seem to change it .and also as mean as he is I still love him - it is really hard to fix it when you’re in it.
Does another person deserve our self sacrifice if they are mean and or degrading to you?
I’m no expert. First of all, sending you love and being here for you and witnessing you in your pain. More power to you. Second of all, our body speaks to us in its own language and tries to get our attention as you would very well know by now. Please please please prioritise yourself. I’m halfway across the planet from you probably, I know nothing about you but all I know is this. You can never go wrong with loving yourself. And then, you can truly be there for others - mean or not because that would stem from your conscious decision making instead of one that’s unconsciously binding you to something that is eating you alive. Literally.
Can’t imagine what you’re going through right now. Thoughts and prayers 🙏
I’m thinking of you
Look into bitter apricot seed for skin cancer. It worked for me
Crazy, I've suffered from skin issues since a small child..supermarket and most resteraunt foods activate my issues, that food is toxic and effecting our endocrine system...wich effects our brain chemistry...I'm at home today with a bad reaction 😢 this toxic food is causing depression, anxiety and insomnia...plus skin problems!
That a very interesting connection you are making, I am home today because of a migraine headache, I am very sensitive to foods and get them often, I wonder if there is a connection with endocrine, neurological problems.
I went to psychoanalysis and naturopathic doctors to treat acne, skin picking, and anxiety for 5 years. It didn't work, but taking Metformin finally did wonders for all three issues with visible change in 4 weeks.
Do you have any idea how or why Metformin helped you?
Please share how you feel this helped? I know high insulin brings anxiety like symptoms.
Thats so fascinating! Like the other person was curious i am also curious if you know the reason it worked or have any hypothesis?
Curious why Metformin helped.
When someone has higher testosterone/androgens (male or female), acne can happen when it combines with high blood sugar levels due to diet. I was very insulin resistant in my teens and twenties and had higher androgens. Taking metformin also significantly reduced my acne by lowering my blood sugar and reducing insulin resistance. Also avoiding sugar and dairy even more so helped.
Interesting
Had the worst kind of skin infections (face) while going through the process of “loss of soul”.
Me too! I had cystic acne in my early twenties. It was triggered by trauma that linked back to a long past event.
I'm so intrigued and interested to know what you mean or what is "the process of loss of soul". If not too intrusive, would you explain this to me? @Taani
Same I had unhealing oozing sores that lasted at least three years and has left extreme facial scarring.i was to Ill to advocate for proper medical care and am struggling to find a way to cope with how my physical appearance affects almost every aspect of my life.
I love how this was the first thing that popped up on my feed after I just finished a search on “random” psoriasis flare ups 😂 never had it before and my doctor can’t figure it out. I can’t either since none of my daily habits have changed! So just been wondering what the heck my body is trying to say to me haha
I am similar to your story. On April 8th eclipse, I woke the following morning to find all my left side had broken out in psorasis, later in the week it spread to my left side. My doctor was surprised but didn't prescribe any medicine. He thinks it will go away. I hate seeing the red marks on my skin. It is diminishing. Good luck to you too.🎉
Did you perhaps recently lose 2 very meaningful people in your life? That would trigger such a condition.
Best! TF
You need vitamin d and better gut bacteria.
Thankyou for this I have been struggling to destroy and not destroy my skin for many years.
This was deeply moving. Definitely one of my new favorite episodes
Makes a whole lot of Sense... I've been saying this for years .. I've learned to diagnose many factors ,stress tells you ,your atmospere,at home,work,even going in stores...All the way to knowing your boyfriend cheated, it's totally true.YOUR SKIN IS A POWERFUL ANALYSIS OF SO MUCH.THERES ALOT TO TAKE IN,I LOVE MY GIFTS 🌈🙏 ✝️
These three are so chilled and softly spoken......❤
How much more exciting will the topics get!!!! Wow thanks!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is such a relevant pertinent subject for me. I was kept in a pram in my parents shop for the first 19 months of my life. Yet i have survived and flourised thanks to an adult lifetime of therapy. I turned 76 six days ago. I will reflect on what you have to say. The first and best therapist i saw was a Freudian psychoanalyst in Sydney Australia back in 1968. I have tried different therapeutic modalities but not Jungian analysis. Perhaps i am being guided that this is the time. Thank you for this video.
As above, so below. As within so without ❤
ThankYouThankYouThankYou!!! Keep doing this, it's so inspirational.
Thankyou ladies & gentleman, first time i've discoverd your channel, the vibe you all have is so peaceful & full of truth & teachings, sooo different than many channels who talk like they know all and 'push' it, thank you for this, from Belgium
it would be SO NICE :) when everyone who 'was in marketing-thing' :) did it like you did! so kind & not agressive :)
Treasure! I found you today for the first time. I'm hooked. Want to hear more.
I looked back to teenage ache(mild), to a rash that appeared around and under my gold wedding band(doc couldn't get it to heal but I did) and even at 69, to a tendency to breakout on my chin.
Thanks for the insight. You've sparked my curiosity. Since I'm now having challenges from degenerative spinal condition. I now want to understand the emotional connection of trapped emotion/realization contributes to this. I want to heal completely. ❤
Thanks for giving us 'the skinny' on this thin subject. My epidermis is blushing
Omg gross
❤😊
@@luckyduckydaisyflower2344why gross lol?
Fascinating video !!! Thank you so much for sharing 👍🏻 Wondering about non-verbal communication and muscle rigidity in our body/face as a "complement" to the skin in letting/hiding our body palette from the outside world...
Such fascinating conversation! I love this group!!
Thank you for your knowledge and sharing it with whomever will listen.
How about children that developed eczema or psoriasis in infancy?
I siffered with severe psoriasis forza long time...your interpretation Is very interesting
My skin is healing from some road rash, it's amazing how quickly repairs happen
When I was meditating, I suddenly got interested in the idea of why I am just feeling the boundaries of my body but not the internal parts (as clear as my skin) and also the surroundings which I sense that I am not part of. It was not an intellectual inquiry but it was like some part of me deep down did not believe that "ordinary" experience and right after that parts of my body started to move without conscious direction which is sometimes seen in meditation practices where it is called spontaneous kriyas.
water, fire, air, earth, sun moon and stars too...all things that reside in you too.❤
It might also be spirit possession, I'm afraid. It happens through yoga too. There are testimonies out there.
I love this!! I appreciate you guys sharing those deep insights on Skin. I wish you could expand a little be more , I was waiting to hear about acne for example , since that’s my issue. Hope to see second episode on this 😊.
Very, very Good Video! That's why I subscribed!
I was waiting for this.
There is another very interesting videeo from a few days ago you might not know.
Its title is 'Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis'
Ohhhh, so that's why I watched a Jung video earlier for the first time ever. So this video would pop up in my feed. My skin is my biggest insecurity and has caused me the most issues. Even though there doesn't seem to be many, if any, medical reasons for it. Love that synchronicity for me. Lol.
What a fascinating discussion! Thank you! 🙏🌺👏
Thank you for this. My daughter (4)started having skin issues as soon as she had to stay with her dad
Wow you guys are awesome, this enlightening, and somehow relaxing! ☺️
Thank you
I have a skin issue that developed a few years ago that led me down the rabbit hole to Morgellons.
Now its time to reevaluate the situation....
Much love
Thank youuuu ❤❤❤
Membranous intelligence maybe the oldest form of inter-relational/self awareness.
I developed demodicosis as a result of Lyme disease and toxic mold. The demodicosis has been severe and reoccurring. It involves very large sores full of Demodex organisms. With medications, and treatments for Lyme and mold, I have been able to narrow it down to just one side of my face. I am writing a book about the entire experience, but the effect of this condition on one’s mental health is extreme!
After a devastating loss for my daughter, (her son’s father took his own life) my daughter very quickly dove into acquiring large tattoos. I believed she was trying to displace one form of pain with another, and I felt that she kept getting tattoos as a way of integrating a confusing source of emotional pain into a more manageable tactile, recognizable and bearable external expression of her experience. As her mother, who knows she’s beautiful regardless, it was hard to watch her permanently alter her external presentation, so close to the loss, (she also completely changed the colour of her hair). I also had concerns about her son, who was very young, and also experiencing a loss but didn’t yet have ways to express any pain he might have been feeling and it worried me he might not recognize his own remaining parent. Also as a mother to three neurodiverse children, I fully recognized the ‘stimming’ component, coupled with the overwhelming grief and anxiety. I could accept the why of how she responded to her grief, but I struggled with the permanency of the behaviour, and yet could also see that she too was struggling with the permanency of her son’s father’s choice. I had remained quiet about my concerns until she showed up with a (subtle) tatto, on her face. I then gently made a point of telling her I acknowledge what she was doing, and asked her, for me, to please don’t go further with any more tattoos, specifically with her sweet face, until she’s in a better place. I also told her, of course it’s her choice, but if she felt she needed to continue, to first ask herself why she felt the need and sit with that for a while first. She realized she had to feel her way through the grief and tattoos did that for her. I asked her if counselling would help and she agreed she needed to talk to someone, and we arranged for that to happen together. She’s always beautiful to me, and I love her, and accept her tattoos. She’s also a beautiful mom to a very sweet little fellow. It’s taken me a month to listen to this episode, (it’s been in a saved folder) but as someone who is covered in small scars, from what I now know is stimming, and which started as ‘picking’ from a VERY early age, I found this discussion very interesting, as well as validating. I’ve spent much of my life frustrated with my skin (specifically itching). I used to be quite self conscious about my scars, but I’ve learned it’s not my skin that’s doing anything to me. It’s trying to do what it’s supposed to do and I have to think differently about how I can care for my skin, and learn to navigate my internal and external environment differently. Meditation has helped me a lot, as has learning about neurotypes. Thank you for this discussion. It has taken me further in my learning. 🙏🏻💜
My eczema erupted when I unblocked someone I knew was bad for me. It was okay in the end I felt I needed to face it. It gets itchy when I'm around people who are stressed, or when I am stressed. Eczema apparently has been found to be more prevalent among those on the autistic spectrum?
you can refer to Biodecoding where they decode each conflict of the skin. The main theme of conflicts related to skin are quite similar to what you shared: Dermis - feeling attacked, need protection; Epidermis - feeling separated from a desired contact
What a nice discussion! Love this xx
fascinating topic!
He has a remarkable beautiful voice ❤
awesome presentation. Soothing voices. ❤
Also look into Biological Decoding, Biodecoding, etc. It includes the skin and also the rest if the body.
I have chronic psoriasis all over my body but, my arms are the worst. I got lepoard spots tattooed on to the one clear area of arm, the shoulder. It helped the way I feel about my psoriasis spots. And even other people have said it makes the psoriasis spots look pretty now. But defiantely the skin is our canvas! My pain has always been displayed on my skin.
I love your channel ❤
Just had a chalazion appear on upper eyelid, the thinnest skin on the body. Painful, never had one in my life before. It was around my birthday and was stressed out as i was forced to interact with some family on my birthday. People that i dont care for and are abusive. I was angry that my day was going to be ruined by these people. Then i was forced to feel extra pain with the chalazion. Not sure why i have to feel the pain when im not the one that inflicts it on others😢
How do you develop true self compassion?
This is a process . Exactly like true self-love and self-care , they are byproducts of a correctly done healing journey - healing deep emotional wounds- it contains the phase of Awareness , analyzing your emotional pains , dive into the Shadow Work ...
Such a good question with so many answers but I teach it starts with self awareness, then self acceptance, self forgiveness, and then self love. Doing your “shadow work” so to speak🩷
By first becoming aware that you want it, and then asking for help - has been my experience.
This was a skin-lightening talk, thank you
It’s so true! Whenever I would get super angry at a certain person I would get a pimple on a certain part of my face that reminded me of a scary part of a movie, something subconscious that I prbly wanted to do to them. 🙂
I love a really hot shower on my back, and people are doing hot/cold showers, cold plunges, etc.. I also lived in a place as a teen we had to heat up our water by fire and the water heater was on top of sauna rocks so we would sauna and then take a shower. My skin was so rosey and healthy during that time and it felt good, very connecting to old ways of living. But, after work that hot shower is almost euphoric for me and how soothing it is. We have to remember our fascia and lymph system sits right under the skin. Our lymph relies on movement to release toxins from the body like the gentle movement of skin and muscle work together to help it. The fascia has more nerve endings then the brain and is part of the nervous system and it takes the information from the skin or environment in general to the brain it's all very interesting.
Alright... 15 mins in and I'm running off to grab a pen and pad cause I want notes. Love it. Mwah
As soon as I saw this video I immediately thought of the brilliant 1986 BBC miniseries The Singing Detective.
It's about a pulp fiction writer who becomes bedridden in hospital with severe psoriatic arthritis.
In terrible pain and completely immobile he goes in and out of dark mystery story of his imagination juxtaposed with his daily physical suffering.
The world he escapes to is dangerous, sexy, darkly mysterious 1930's film noir that regularly snaps back to his hospital bed to deal with nurses and pain and the suffering he'd rather escape.
Please go watch it!
I'm convinced that the writer must've studied Jung!
I’m sorry if this question is off topic but can anyone point me to any Jungians that talk about ADHD? The conversations people are having about it on other platforms are making me going a little insane. It seems like everything is ADHD at this point and was hoping someone could give a different perspective than you have adhd so you have depression, you have a severe condition that makes you different and so on
Well I understand that neurodivergences like adhd and autism have gained a certain popularity on several social media platforms and that there is some wrong information about it accompanying it- on the other hand I as a neurodivergent person am more than happy to finally read and see how the fact that there a more than one “brain type” becomes finally more
Common sense and accepted. At the same time social media platforms like this one serve as a for/free tool for learning more about strategies or connecting with others who experience the same things. It is life changing believe me. The over diagnosing and saying everything is this or that is inevitable but hopefully will become less soon. As adhs or autism aren’t “mental diseases” but neuro developmental differences -/>thus divergence, there shouldn’t be expected too much from Jung in that case in my humble opinion.
A brief analysis of many creative and even genius biographies give reason to believe that many of those individuals were neurodivergent. Maybe Jung was one of them..? 😊
Same with Asperger's. I believe it's all an invention created by psychiatrists to label people who dress or look weird and who don't follow cliques. After all, each individual sees the world thru their own lens
You find it, let me know, please
Greetings! The sun is shining bright. The birds are eating. You are loved.
Furthermore, and by the way you're beautifully able to express yourself, i personally think you've got this.
Have a YAHsome day. 🌹
"Be still... and KNOW", by going within your own precious h-eart.
Thanks again for your reply
I ♥️ the floral and herbal oil ingredients in the Elixers 😊 I didn’t know there was a demand for mummified cosmetic ingredients :-o The spa experience is very important if you are chronically unsupported.
Just started listening, makes me the Inna Segal book The Secret Language of the Body.
What would a recommended treatment be for chronic skin conditions that seem to just not go away? Counselling or hypnotherapy perhaps?
my brother and I are twins, and we were born premature, we stayed at the incubator for 2 months
Nice...
awesome❤
What about psoriasis? And rubbing of the skin on the head compulsively?
What about keratosis? What causes it?
Half way in, hope you will talk about acne/eczema...
Im picking my skin as I watch this. Ive been skin picking for years and wanting to stop.
It’s anxiety distress and other repressed emotions I’m the same
What could be the reason for vitiligo?
Waw, thanks guys, this was a very enriching episode! :-) I really LOVE these BODY-PSYCHE connections! I have 2 more questions also, if you don't mind. 1. I remember you guys were talking about the "Chinese Moon goddess" in one of your episodes, I think from the past year or so. But I cannot find it back! :-) Can anyone help me find that episode again, please? :-) Question 2: Relating to THIS episode: when my partner comes home from work, and he is in MY presence, he starts FARTING like hell... Should I just interpret that as "him feeling relaxed around me"? :p Or might his BODY be trying to communicate something more than that? Just curious...
Usually peoples they start "farting like hell "like you said before they will go to poop at toilet.If he doesnt go in short time at toilet,perhaps is bad unpolite habbit
I'd love to see a reply to your second question... Same here but the other way round! 🤭
Sorry I can't assist with your first!
Q
Hmmm, it might not be a good sign. When my ex started spending too much time at my place, it became an issue for me, but I never said no. Around that time, my bowels started becoming really irritable and I almost couldn't control the gas sometimes.
I also remember when I dated another ex, we both caught a terrible case of bronchitis that lasted a few months. I should have taken it as a warning these relationships would not end well. They didn't. Our bodies do speak to us by manifesting symptoms, just like that bad gut feeling we can get sometimes. Maybe he wants more time to himself and won't say so?
What would you guys say about alopecia, facial hair on males that only grows in patches? Any possible insights?
Castor oil is supposed to be really good for thickening up hair growth. I use it on my eyebrows. 🤨🥸
Interesting
