This International Women’s Day, we honour the feminine through the psychology of Carl Jung.

Jung described Eros as the principle of relatedness, connection and emotional union within the psyche.

Within the collective unconscious, the feminine principle appears through archetypes such as the Great Mother, symbolising nature, creation, nurture, and transformation, and through the anima, the inner feminine that deepens our capacity for relationship, meaning, and psychological wholeness.

Today, we honour women and the feminine as carriers of connection, life, and the wisdom that unites humanity with nature and with one another.

Relatedness, Nurture, Intuition, Wholeness

✨INTRODUCING HOLISTIC HEALTH ✨
Carl Jung understood wellbeing as individuation, a lifelong process in which conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche are gradually integrated, allowing the Self to move towards wholeness. Rather than eliminating inner conflict, mental health arises through the balance and reconciliation of opposing forces. He viewed the psyche as a self-regulating system, in which physical and psychological symptoms serve as symbolic expressions of imbalance. For Jung, wellbeing is not a fixed or perfected state, but a continuous journey of self-realisation.

My Philosophy:
True wellbeing is not about fixing what is “wrong.” It is about understanding what is asking to be seen, heard, accepted and integrated. The mind and body are deeply interconnected. Physical and emotional symptoms often carry important messages, pointing towards areas of imbalance or unmet needs. When we learn to listen, these signals become gateways to healing, insight, and growth.

How I Work:
My approach is relational, compassionate, and deeply present. From one human being to another.

Emotional Well-being: A Jungian Approach
Emotional well-being is often sidelined, yet it underpins our mental, physical, and spiritual health.

As a nurse, I witnessed how hidden emotional wounds can emerge as stress, fatigue, or chronic illness—signs that our inner world needs tending.

Carl Jung called the journey to wholeness “individuation,” inviting us to integrate the conscious, unconscious, and shadow aspects of ourselves. When we ignore inner conflict, it doesn’t disappear—it shows up in the body.

True healing happens when we honor both soul and body, caring for our emotions just as we do our physical health.

How to Support This Process:

⭐ Practise self-awareness and introspection through journalling, therapy, or quiet reflection can help uncover unconscious patterns.

⭐ Engage with dreams and imagination, Jung encouraged exploring dreams and symbols as doorways to deeper insight.

⭐ Embrace the body–soul connection, Movement practices like yoga, walking, or breathwork can ground emotions and reconnect us with our instinct.

⭐ Acknowledge your emotions without judgement, emotions are data. When listened to, they guide us toward integration and growth.

⭐ Live symbolically, use art, myth, or rituals to express inner life and honour the deeper layers of experience.

Ultimately, emotional well-being isn’t just about feeling good It’s about being honest with ourselves, building a relationship with the whole of who we are, and learning to care for both body and soul. ✨

The Gentle Power of Books 📖
There is something quietly powerful about reading, a way to step away from the rush of everyday life and find calm in the simple act of turning a page.

Books create a space where we can slow down, settle in and let our minds wander.

Reading has a way of soothing our thoughts and steadying our breath. Just a few minutes can melt away stress and make us feel more present. In those quiet moments, we become part of the stories we read, seeing the world through new eyes.

This feeling is even stronger when you hold a real book in your hands. The gentle crackle of the page, the comforting weight of a story you can touch, these small details bring a sense of grounding that screens simply can’t replicate.

A physical book is more than the words it contains, it’s an invitation to pause, to stir your imagination and your curiosity.

Studies show that reading print helps us focus and understand more deeply. The tactile feeling of flipping pages draws us closer to the story, helping us sink in without the digital clutter of hyperlinks and pop-ups.

And if you have ever picked up a book you loved years ago, you know how it can transport you back in time, bringing back old memories. Where were you then, and who are you now? Reading the same book decades later can feel like reading a completely new story and I am sure you know the feeling of a book becoming a dear friend.

Carl Jung believed that reading wasn’t just about gathering facts, it was about exploring the mind and discovering yourself. He taught that we should read slowly, with patience and curiosity, letting the words settle in and shape us over time. His works, especially, need to be read with care, giving space for new insights and ideas to emerge.

To read Jung, or any book deeply, is to wander through your own mind and heart. In those quiet, unhurried moments with a book in hand, you might find a part of yourself that’s been waiting to be seen and felt.

So here’s to books, old friends, gentle healers and doorways to new realms. Let them remind you of the small joys and the endless worlds waiting for you to turn the page. ✨

Wellbeing InsideOut 🤍

In today’s conversations about health, we often hear the terms wellbeing and wellness used interchangeably. But there is a deeper distinction worth understanding.

Wellbeing is not merely the absence of illness; it is a state of holistic equilibrium integrating both the physical, emotional, and psychological dimensions of human experience.

As the World Health Organization, WHO, articulates;

“a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

The question, then, is, how does one establish such a state?

This is where the concept of inner work becomes essential.

It is not simply a series of healthy practices, inner work is a sustained, conscious engagement with one’s psyche. It becomes a mode of being, an ongoing journey shaped by reflection, psychological growth, and meaningful connection with others and the world around us.

Genuine wellbeing is not a static condition, but a continuous unfolding, nurtured through conscious intention, self-awareness, and alignment between one’s inner life and outer world. It begins with the deliberate choice to engage deeply with oneself and is sustained through the everyday practice of living with purpose and presence.

Carl Jung saw it as the outcome of a lifelong inner journey, what he called individuation, and unlike surface-level approaches to wellbeing, Jung’s model focuses on depth, meaning, and the deeper structure of the psyche. Individuation invites us to bridge the gap between our conscious mind and the unconscious psyche and its forces that shape us, leading to a more authentic, balanced, and integrated self.

While practices such as physical exercise, sound nutrition, and social interaction remain vital, Jungian thought reminds us that enduring wellbeing arises from this inner commitment to the deeper unfolding of who we are.

🌿Breathing with Nature 🌿
On Stillness, Soul & Life-Giving Power of Breath

Breath, So quiet, we forget it’s there.
So essential, we don’t survive without it.
When life rushes in, breath holds the line.
When the mind spins, breath invites stillness.

In recent months, I have found myself returning to the simple act of breathing. Not the automatic rhythm that carries us through the day unnoticed, but conscious, intentional breath. The kind that anchors. The kind that quiets.

Carl Jung once spoke of the deep psychic toll of our modern disconnection from nature. He saw this not just as an environmental or philosophical loss, but as a spiritual one. In losing touch with the natural world, we lose touch with ourselves, and I find that to be true.

There are moments, perhaps you know them too, when anxiety arrives without warning. A difficult conversation, an overwhelming day, or simply the quiet hum of stress that builds beneath the surface. In those moments, I have caught myself breathing more shallow which is a paradox, when we need breath the most, it becomes the first thing to flee.

This is where nature and breath become medicine. Stepping outside even for a few minutes, and consciously reconnect with the breath, something shifts, the tightness softens.

Breath is the bridge between mind and body, between thought and presence. It is always with us, yet so often forgotten, especially when we need it most.

Jung believed that nature offers us a kind of psychic equilibrium, a return to a more natural rhythm., and we remember how to be still and how to breathe.

These moments of presence, of stepping outside, feeling the ground, inhaling deeply are not luxuries. They are essential. They are how we regulate and how we come back to ourselves when the world or our thoughts pull us elsewhere.

So this is my quiet reflection and perhaps a gentle reminder to you as well: when you feel yourself tightening, rushing, grasping… pause.

Step outside, if you can. Let your breath meet the breeze. Let the stillness hold you.

From the Heart of the Soul 🤍

Shall we write from the heart, sing from the soul, or paint from the very depths of our being?
 What, indeed, is the language of the soul? Each of us may answer differently, yet, invariably, with a thread of shared essence.
 And you, how do you translate what the soul whispers? As for me, it arrives in subtle forms, in delicate turns of mood and shifting states.
 Why not give it a try?
Let it rise uncalled, with a glow from the depths within.

Vocatus atque non vocatus, Deus aderit
Whether summoned or not, God will be present.

These words, inscribed at the entrance to Carl Jung’s house in Zurich, offer a timeless reflection on resilience, hope, and the unseen forces that shape our lives and the ever-present mystery that surrounds us.

Regardless of belief, and I hold deep respect for all perspectives, I would like to share a few thoughts on the question that I believe many of us ponder at some point: Is there a God? Surely, there must be something greater than ourselves, greater than the world we see.

T.S. Eliot captures this beautifully when he writes;
”Wherever your journey may turn, remember: that which you seek is already woven into the fabric of your soul. You are ever in the company of the unseen.”

The idea that the divine cannot truly be articulated is something I often reflect upon, and time and again, it becomes a topic of conversation around our dinner table.

As someone deeply interested in Carl Jung’s exploration of the psyche and the divine, I believe he captured something essential, that God, by any name, must remain unknowable in full. We can only suggest it through symbols, metaphors and brief encounters that move something sacred within us, which invites us to humility.

It encourages an openness of heart and mind when engaging with the infinite, and a gentle awareness of the natural boundaries of our understanding.

For me, the writings of Carl Jung have served as a source of both insight and guidance. Time and again, I find myself resonating with his view that the spiritual journey is like stepping into fire, or wandering through a labyrinth. It is not about escaping the world, but about finding oneself more deeply within it and returning with something meaningful to offer.

Jung’s work challenges us to explore the depths of the unconscious, to confront the complexities of the psyche, to embrace the authentic self, and to recognise our enduring relationship with the sacred.

Wherever we find ourselves on our journey, the truths we seek are already within.

Who am I?
A question I know I am not alone in asking.

Carl Jung once said life is like the sun’s journey — rising from the shadows of childhood, climbing through the trials of youth, shining brightest in midlife, and slowly setting as we grow older.

As children, we come from a deep, mysterious place, full of dreams and symbols that connect us to something larger. But growing up, we slowly let go of that world and learn to become aware, to find our place.

Youth is for chasing dreams and building who we are through ambition, difficulties, and hope.
Then, midlife brings a quiet shift and the sun reaches its peak. Success isn’t enough anymore. Something deeper calls from within. What is that calling, and what is it asking of us?

Jung believed the second half of life is an invitation — a chance to find meaning, nurture connections, and return to the self within, once lost in the race of becoming. It is a time for truth, growth, and a deeper encounter with the spiritual self.

But how are we meant to respond to this inner invitation? This awakening that begins so quietly?

Each of us walks that path in our own way — some with courage, some with hesitation, and some resist it altogether. Others step onto it without even realising.

I find myself on that path too, and in my work, it’s the question clients bring again and again:
How do I live in a way that is true to who I really am?

No one else can answer that for us. No one else can truly recognise that familiar, yet quietly hidden, face staring back from the mirror.

Authenticity is not a single moment of revelation. It is a quiet, ongoing commitment — a gentle, persistent practice of returning to ourselves in honest reflection.

But as beautiful as it is, authenticity can feel unsettling. To be real is to be visible. We might fear being too much, or not enough. We fear losing love, acceptance, or the safety we’ve built.

So we adapt. We shrink. We perform. But the longer we hide, the more the ache and longing to be known by ourselves grows — to be whole, not perfect, to belong to the truth we carry.

To me, authenticity is a quiet promise — it is my expression of awe for who I truly am.

Yours,
Maria by @mariatibblin

RELATIONSHIPS AS A CATALYST FOR GROWTH ♥️

There have been many moments in my life, stretched across the years, where relationships have come and gone, some gently, others crashing through everything I thought I knew.

Each one, in its own way, has changed me, and perhaps that is why Jung’s words resonates so deeply. He reminds us that relationships are far more than emotional entanglements. They are mirrors and they are teachers.

He believed that every connection, especially the ones that stir us to our core, holds a fragment of our inner world.

We don’t simply fall in love with another person, we fall into a reflection of our unconscious parts of ourselves.

The tenderness, the conflict, the ache, the longing, these are not just emotions, they are clues.

Clues that, if followed with presence and care, can lead us inward.

Because relationships are not only about us and them, they are about the self we discover in the space between, as a slow, sacred becoming of who we truly are.

In all their beauty and complexity, relationships are like vessels places where that becoming is quietly, powerfully shaped.

It is humbling to realize that love, at its deepest, is not simply about being seen or understood.
It is about being revealed.

In essence, Jung saw relationships as both a catalyst for personal growth and a mirror reflecting our inner world. He believed that by understanding the dynamics of our relationships and the projections they involve, we can better understand ourselves and embark on the journey towards individuation.

I warmly invite you to my practice (or zoom) for an intentional conversation about how I may support and guide you on your journey.

LOVE - a path to Wholeness ♥️

Love isn’t always easy, but it is sacred. It humbles us. It stretches us. And slowly, it draws us back to ourselves, more whole, more human, and more alive.

Love has always felt like a mystery to me, not the kind you solve, but the kind you live through.

Carl Jung’s writings made me aware of the transformative force in me.

He didn’t speak of love as a fleeting feeling or a romantic cliché, but as a transformative force. A sacred bridge between our conscious self and the depths of who we truly are.
Jung believed love was a universal archetype, something ancient that lives in all of us.

It shows up in our dreams, in our longings, in the ways we reach for each other and when deeply felt, connects us not only to others, but to the hidden parts of ourselves.

I have come to see how true that is, real love, whether for a partner, a child, a friend, or even for humanity, brings up everything we haven’t yet faced.

The shadow side of the psyche, our fears, projections, insecurities, doesn’t disappear in love. In fact, love brings it to the surface. I have noticed this in my own life, and I am sure not to be alone in this, confronted with the parts I have tried to ignore.

But through this, I have softened, become more forgiving, not only toward others, but toward myself.

Jung believed love starts with one self, with the quiet, often messy journey of individuation.

It begins with learning how to sit with ourselves, how to care for the soul beneath the external noise.

For me, love has become less about searching for someone, much more about showing up, fully, gently, honestly.

Jung’s words stays with me:
”Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, there love is lacking.”
