Jungian analyst Erica Lorentz joins Jeffrey Mishlove to argue that Western culture has turned the body into a 'shadow', a neglected and distrusted part of ourselves, and that Carl Jung's methods offer a way back into embodied healing. She describes how Authentic Movement, a Jungian form of free association through the body, helped cure her chronic headaches through a sudden kundalini-like energy release.
