"Healing From Within ~ Awakening the Divine Feminine" with Benig Mauger


Benig Mauger is a practicing psychoanalytical psychotherapist, writer, lecturer and pioneer in pre- and perinatal psychology. Concerned with the ways in which technology and modern living have resulted in "loss of soul", she combines her training and experience in Jungian depth psychology, pre- and perinatal psychology and spiritual awareness to look at ways of restoring soul to human life. 

Her soulful and inspiring work helps us journey to the core of our self to discover and embrace the wounds of loss and heart break which create space for renewal, empowerment and healing. Living in and inspired by the wild landscape of Connemara, her deep insights reflect the wisdom of the land and how it can reflect and heal our emotions.  Benig will be conducting a residential workshop in Galway in October. 


HEALING FROM WITHIN AWAKENING THE DIVINE FEMININE
A TWO DAY RESIDENTIAL WORKSHOP AND RETREAT With Benig Mauger
Jungian Psychotherapist & Author 


While wanting to progress on our spiritual path, we are often held back by our sense of wounding. In this workshop I will outline the impact prenatal life, birth and early parenting has on our psyches and offer a framework for understanding how these imprints are played out in our lives and relationships. With its unique blend of Jungian Psychology and Spirituality and using meditation, art, music and dream work, this workshop will examine the soul patterns transmitted to us in early life and suggest that our wounds are actually conduits to healing and soul growth. Using myth and poetry and a workbook to help you begin your healing journey, you will awaken the Divine Feminine Within reconnecting with and healing your heart from wounds that may have held you back. Uncovering your personal birth myth and identifying your patterns in relationships will help you balance your inner masculine and feminine and recover a sense of inner wholeness and spiritual purpose.

Here is an excerpt from an article published on her website: Soul Connections


    Give sorrow words;
           The grief that cannot speak
                  Whispers the o’er fraught heart  
                          And bids it break.
                                           Macbeth IV.111: William Shakespeare
 
"As a therapist with 20 years of listening to and bearing witness to heartbreak, it wasn't until I experienced it most profoundly myself that I understood it's beauty, it's depth and it's ability to thrust us into a spiritual journey. It was this experience that propelled me into writing my last book, " Love in a time of Broken Heart - Healing From Within" In it I have shared my life experience both as a woman and therapist. Using myths, and stories, I've charted the inner journey to healing after heart break as well as outlined the influence our early lives have on our love relationships- and much more. More importantly, writing this book, which for me was a spiritual journey, led me to a deeper understanding of the essence of the inner marriage, as well as the nature of love and our search for it. I learnt that for many of us our love relationships reflect our spiritual journey and how experiencing heartbreak can bring us to unconditional love. Lost in love can take us to experience our own hearts and our souls longings and connect us with our deep need for inner wholeness or spiritual fulfillment. 

How can heartbreak and soul pain be beautiful? Because it propels us deep into our inner selves, a terrain often left undiscovered in our hurried lifestyles. A terrain of such richness we ignore it at our peril- because if we continue to look outside of ourselves for everything, we will never heal and we will never find love.

To heal a broken heart, we have to go through a journey. We have to go through the dark night of the soul. Healing always comes from within. Healing from within means travelling into the profound terrain of our sould. It means exploring the older wisdom in our 'deep living heart', and surrendering to something far greater than the narrow focus of our ego-driven minds. We do not blame others for what they did, or didnot do, to make us unhappy. Ture healing invloves taking responsibility for the chlices we make and the relationshiops we have. 

When we lose love, we empower ourselves through a journey of healing which includes honest self
-examination and evaluation. And since we have learned that love can bring us back to ourselves and reveal our souls in a way not possible otherwise,our journey to healing after heartbreak will result in a stronger, more beautiful and resilient soul, and an open heart." Benig Mauger
 
 
"What matters if we lose what or who we love when deep down we know we can never lose love, never, our love is our portal to the divine and our loved one lives on in everything around us that holds the spark of soul. Never ever give up, no matter how many times your heart is broken; rather be grateful for the gift of heartbreak and the crack that bruises your soul to its expansion. Let yourself be seared by love and loss." Benig Mauger
