I went outside of the compound for a mid-afternoon walk earlier today, a solo expedition. I wanted a specific kind of image that I could use to write up a series of posts on Alchemy for my Jungian Lens blog site, a place that I had been posting to quite regularly for more than a year. However, I hadn’t thought it would be an image of me nude. When I saw this location which was quite surrounded by brush, I took advantage of it to take a photo with me nude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was no way that I could use the image as it was as it was obviously just another photo of a naked man. I had to use the image four times to create a visual to represent the four principal stages of alchemy. Working with a photo editor, this is one of the four versions I came up with. I don’t want to go into alchemy here, as that is what the Jungian psychology blog site is all about. This place is about me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no doubt that my nudity is an act of healing, something I am calling skyclad therapy. I feel how the exposure to sunshine is helping me cope with the shadows deep within me, shadows that have been growing since my first round of psychoanalysis in 1998. In a way, I am living an alchemy experiment. I am being baked, cooked in the Costa Rican sunshine. I wonder if I will be reborn out of the ashes like a phoenix?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
