Healing Wisdom of the Goddess:

The Guiding Wisdom of the Hindu Goddess Archetypes for men and women on their
Path to Health, Healing and Wholeness

a daylong seminar led by
Ashok Bedi, M.D.

Saturday, September 13, 2008
10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

 

We all live a manifest outer life. Embedded in the psyche of each individual is a hidden, potential life, aligned to our purpose and true calling. This potential life is orchestrated by a latent code of our Self, which is unique to each individual. The latent code is orchestrated by the Self, derives from the substrate of the archetypes, and is implemented by our ego consciousness. When the ego, the Self and the archetypes work in symphony, new symbols guide our life onto a vital, creative and purposeful trajectory.

This presentation will explore role of the Hindu Goddess archetypes in our individuation process at the different developmental stages of adult life. Kali cleanses the psyche of the old complexes, Aditi helps incubate the void, Saraswati ushers in preparation for New Beginnings, Laxmi helps maintain peace and prosperity, Parvati/Shakti helps relatedness with our contrasexual potentials, Shiva and Shakti usher in Wholeness, Health and Healing. Clinical vignettes will illustrate the working of the latent code of the goddess archetypes and its dance with the archetype of the Self.

Learning Objectives:
1. Explore the dynamics of the Goddess archetypes activation in incarnation of the Self
2. Present the analytical management of the activated archetype to attend to the Ego/Self axis
3. Discuss the Hindu Goddess archetypes from a developmental perspective of the Self incarnation
4. Formulate the archetypes of Saraswati, Laxmi, Shakti, Kali, and Aditi as the impact the incarnation of the Self in our individuation process
5. Articulate the union of the contrasexaual archetypes, the Union of Shiva and Shakti aspects of the Psyche to establish the wholeness of the Self
