The Body, Experiencing of the Self

The body-psyche whole which constitutes an individual contains the memory of a collective history, to which those organizers of the psyche we term archetypes attest, as much as it expresses the person’s individuality and uniqueness. The subject’s sexual identity as well as his psychosomatic fate are structured on the basis of this dichotomous source. But to inhabit the body “inside oneself” assumes a way of being, a special way attentiveness, as well as a language that can interpret these experiences in the communicable terms of which the self, as defined by Jung, is the central organizer and source of energy.
