Explorations
These explorations show how different approaches engage imagination in distinct ways, and how inner images, sensations, symbols, and narratives interact with emotional memory and perceptual processing.
The focus lies both on what these methods share and on how they differ in their use of imagination:
- how inner images, sensations, symbols, and inner narratives interact with emotional memory and lived experience;
- what kinds of questions they give rise to;
- what intentions they support;
- and which psychological or experiential areas they are shaped to address.
Each article draws practical insights from established imaginative methods and translates them into brief, step-by-step explorations for personal inquiry.
