The Vessel

The Vessel.  Pulling from the concepts of alchemy as identified by Carl Jung.  When experiences happen, when those images come from soul we need to create a container that we can hold these experiences in.  Like a beaker in a chemistry experience, there are three qualities this container, this vessel, must have: 1) Clarity-awakening to what is going on.  Putting a name to the experience that is arising.  It will be hard to get clarity if we are hiding.  2) Strength-Being in a place where we can hold on to the experience and approach it with curiosity.  The heat of continually checking in with it.  3) Restraint-Holding on to the experience, not being so quick to dismiss it or move on to the next thing, some experiences may take 6+ years to uncover themselves and also not being so quick to share the experience.

One way to enhance vesseling is by making and keeping the appointment with self.  Some sort of spiritual practice that can be done every day and then we keep that appointment every day.  Various options of appointments are explored.
