Jung at Harp | Episode 181: Visioning from Your Essence
In this episode of Jung at Harp, harpist-composer Deborah Henson-Conant and Jungian psychoanalyst Kathleen Wiley explore what it means to "vision from your essence" to let creative ideas grow from your inner life force, even when they start out uncertain, messy, or incomplete.
Through personal stories and reflections, they talk about how the first spark of a vision often feels awkward or even shameful, but with trust, community, and openness, it can take shape and become something deeply meaningful. Together, they look at how music, movement, and body awareness can connect us to our authentic selves.
You'll hear conversations and examples that invite you to:
Trust the raw beginnings of creative ideas, even when they don't look polished.
Recognize your "essence" as the source of vision, not external expectations.
See how community support helps fragile beginnings grow into something real.
Explore practices like body awareness, relaxation, and rhythm to stay connected.
Shift from self-judgment to curiosity, letting yourself be moved by the process.
Why listen? If you've ever felt your ideas were "not good enough" or feared they were too strange to share, this conversation offers a gentle reminder: nothing can become something when you allow space for it, and when you honor the essence it comes from.
