Review of the previous post (Summary)

In the previous post, I wrote about how
the influence of depth psychology, such as dream analysis,
might be manifesting in the body.

Could that have contributed to the
improvement in the prognosis of my sudden sensorineural hearing loss?

I wrote about this in detail
in the previous post, so
if you are interested,
please jump to it from the link at the beginning.

The flow of mental changes manifesting in the body
is something I feel in my daily life,
not just with sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
Let's summarize them below.

The result of facing fatherhood and masculinity...

So far, on this Note,
I have posted many records
of dreams I have actually had.

Including records I haven't been able to post yet,
the most frequent content is
facing my inner fatherhood and masculinity.

Since there are already many
records of dreams I've actually had regarding this,
I will leave the dream content
for you to look at there.

I will summarize the points
that have been affected in conjunction with this below.

▶Characterizing and interacting with inner masculinity

Another point is that
there are multiple parts (Internal Family Systems Therapy)
that I have characterized and am interacting with
as archetypal animus or initial animus.

I have given them names,
borrowed their strength in dreams and image work,
sometimes talked to them in reality,
and they have even become active characters
in the works I am novelizing for 'Shousetsuka ni Narou'.

▶Perhaps an application and practice of active imagination??

At first, I even doubted my own sanity, wondering if
dialoguing with characters born from my dreams
was just a delusion.

But in reality, unlike pathological delusions or hallucinations,
I feel that I am in control,
and since I feel I am using it for good,
I have judged this to be an application
of Jung's active imagination.

Also, there are several actual authors and manga artists
who say that their characters
move on their own, beyond their imagination.
I believe it is the same phenomenon.

🪞 What is Active Imagination?

Active imagination in Jungian psychology refers to
a method of consciously interacting with
images or characters (such as dream figures) that emerge within you,
or developing them as a story.

For example, asking a figure that appeared in a dream,
“What do you want to convey?” or
expressing the continuation of that
through pictures or writing
is also a form of active imagination.

This is not fantasy or delusion, but
a creative dialogue with the unconscious.
It helps to deeply understand your inner self
and restore balance to your mind.

▶ There are many other dreams about the animus (inner masculinity)

The two people? two entities? mentioned above
are representative animi (inner masculinity) of mine
that I continue to interact with.

The reason is that both of them
are animi who appeared
at the very beginning of my AI dream analysis at the end of June.
They made quite an impact, after all.

The fact that there have been many dreams about the animus since then
might also be a characteristic of my dreams over these past three months.
The animus continues to appear in my dreams one after another,
taking on different forms and characters.

On X, although they are simple records, I have posted
about various subsequent animus dreams.
The comedian Kenkoba has even appeared
as a new animus lol

Is it affecting my menstrual cycle and hormonal balance?

My interaction with the archetype animus: Milua is particularly deep,
and it continues even now,
and the first thing I noticed
was that I felt it was having an effect
on my menstrual cycle and hormonal balance.

What is easy to understand
is that my menstrual cycle changed significantly.

My cycle runs on an approximately one-month period,
and for many years, my period would come
around the full moon.

▶ Significant improvement in skin and hair moisture and luster!

As my interaction with the archetype animus deepened,
the first thing I felt was a change in my skin and hair quality.

Even though my care is the same as before,
or rather, my daily care recently
might even be sloppier lol,
my skin suddenly became moisturized and translucent,
and my hair started to shine.

I have gone to estheticians and hair salons specializing in hair quality improvement,
but I feel that this has an effect equal to or greater than that.

▶ My menstrual cycle accelerated

The next thing I noticed was
a change in my menstrual cycle.

About a month after I started
carefully interacting with my animus archetype,

my menstrual cycle accelerated by about half a month.
Since it usually arrives on schedule,
I was shocked.

Another thing was that my premenstrual
PMS symptoms (Premenstrual Syndrome)
hardly appeared.

Or rather, as a result of my period coming half a month early,
it felt like I skipped PMS
and went straight to my period.

This sensation continues even now,
and after that, my period accelerated by another half month,
effectively returning to a full moon cycle,
but in reality, it means it has accelerated by one full month.

For these past three months,
I have felt almost no PMS at all.

I'm surprised myself
that the PMS symptoms, which were always so difficult,
have stopped appearing.

Could it be that my depth psychology is affecting my body?

These phenomena,
if you call them a stretch, that might be true lol,
but the correlation and effects
are felt too quickly, you know lol

Especially since I was a child,
it felt like my mind and body were directly connected,
so I felt I could clearly tell
that they were mutually influencing each other.

The hormonal balance issues like
menstrual cycles and PMS that I'm using as examples here,
and the sudden sensorineural hearing loss I talked about last time,
are certainly symptoms
that are easily influenced by mental state.

I think it's just
typical of being an HSP, for better or worse.
I am immediately affected by both good and bad things,
and that shows up clearly in my mind and body.

Although there is no scientific backing,
I thought it might be interesting as a personal experience,
so I summarized the results of my self-observation.

Or rather, isn't it impossible
to clearly prove the correlation between mind and body changes
with medical data anyway? Haha.
So I think I have no choice but to observe myself.

Summary and next preview

This kind of mind-body interaction
is called the mind-body correlation,
and it can be said to be a phenomenon that
tends to appear in people with rich and sharp sensitivity, such as HSPs.

If I dare to write this,
in my case, I seem to be hypersensitive energetically as well,
so even if I tinker with things like chakras,
it immediately appears in my mind and body.

Chakras are energy centers,
similar to acupuncture points in Eastern medicine,
and while they are known in spirituality,
they are also something learned in yoga.

In my case, I think it becomes easier to control
if I can convince myself
of what is influencing me.
Because I just need to eliminate what is unnecessary for me.

Thank you for reading
until the end.

Next time, I will summarize
the significance of posting trauma dreams
on note, so I plan to publish that.
Please forgive me if there are any changes.
