There's an old story:

In a poor village in the north, the drought lasted for months, and the distressed and irritated villagers had to call for a mage to call for wind and rain. The mage walked around the village, but did nothing, only asking the villagers to build a grass hut outside the village. After that, he still did nothing, only asked the villagers to prepare meals for him regularly for the next week, and the villagers were anxious, but they really couldn't think of it, so they had to do it...... And just like that, a week passed, and it really rained in this place! The villagers asked the master what he had done, and he said, "I didn't do anything, when I first came, your village was in chaos, so it didn't rain, and then you brought me food every day, and I resumed my regular life, and it rained naturally!" ”

The story of the "Rain Seeker," though somewhat mythical, is one of the first things Jung would have told in his early years when he talked about spiritual healing, because it contains all the elements of spiritual healing in analytical psychology.

In this story, the villagers are agitated and flustered at first, and in the eyes of the mage, their lives are in disharmony with the natural world, and it is this disharmony that hinders the natural process of the natural world to nourish life with rainwater. The same is true of the analytic psychology view of psychological disorders, the troubles of life are like dry weather, which comes from the disharmony between the individual psychology and the self, with others, and with society. Therefore, people, like the hunger and thirst of the villagers in the story, have lost the nourishment of society.

In other words, while the highly evolved self-consciousness of human beings helps us to actively transform the world, it also brings us corresponding troubles, that is, the separation of self-consciousness from the world, and the various troubles that arise from it.

Self-healing power is to integrate this division and help the mind return to its natural original state, and self-healing power does not need any external force, because it is the mind itself that really heals the mind.

That is, the generation of self-healing does not rely on external energy compensation, but from the energy transformation in its own system. When we are troubled by a complex, the complex becomes an autonomous "other", and this "it" occupies our inner energy during this time, and we lose the same inner energy. Through the awakening of the healing function of the mind, the complex is brought back into our control, and in this way, we regain the power we get from the complex.

This book focuses on the innate self-healing ability of each of us, and selects the four most common aspects of "emotional distress", "emotional distress", "spiritual distress" and "personality distress" in life, and subdivides it into 16 chapters, introducing how to find and apply this ability step by step. The language is simple and plain, the truth is simple and easy to understand, and it is a rare practical psychology and success book.
