It’s impossible not to feel the spirit of Christmas in the air, and it’s almost impossible, at one moment or another, not to be captivated by the art of twinkling lights, the Wham refrain heard everywhere, or the ribbons and red dominating everything around.

An entire commercial and media industry traditionally brainwashes us, proclaiming that for Christmas, we must be “cheerful” and in good company.

But “All I want for Christmas is me!” It may sound cynical, but in fact, my Christmas is entirely Jungian. It’s the symbolic moment where I reflect on the rebirth of myself.

It is the symbol of bringing to life a new dimension, which I see as an opportunity for the maturation of my SOUL.

Jung baptized the archetypes “anima” and “animus” to validate his theory that an individual must embrace all the contradictions coexisting within themselves to live in a healthy balance.

Thus, for this Christmas Eve, I wish light to anyone experiencing their dark dimension, peace to anyone struggling with themselves, strength to anyone feeling weak, and above all, patience and love.
