520 $a What factors enable one to connect with a sense of creative flow? What allows one to relinquish control and allow something else to emerge from beyond one's ego consciousness? What impedes this process from occurring?
520 $a This experience is the essence of what Carl Jung (1916) calls active imagination, a state where the ego relinquishes control and allows material from the unconscious to arise. At the same time, one maintains an active witnessing consciousness to the flow of image, sensation, memory and feeling. This is the experience of being moved (Whitehouse, 1958). It is a state akin to the creative process—an opening of the creative channel, where the imagination is actively engaged, and material arises freely and symbolically. Integration of this material from the unconscious can facilitate one's movement towards healing and wholeness.
520 $a Two embodied practices of active imagination are used to explore being moved. These are Authentic Movement (also called Active Imagination in Movement) and movement improvisation. Literature is reviewed on active imagination through Jung's Analytical Psychology, play and the imagination, creativity, the body, Authentic Movement and movement improvisation.
520 $a Grounded Theory (Strauss & Corbin, 1990) is used to develop a theory of the factors facilitating and hindering the experience of being moved from the interview material. Three advanced practitioners and three teachers of Authentic Movement and movement improvisation were interviewed as research participants.
520 $a In the analysis of interview results, the core category or storyline which emerged is the developing witness. Eight categories and thirty-seven sub-categories also emerged. The categories are the inner witness; the outer witness; presence; the container—safety and trust; practice; interferences; and grace and mystery. The inner witness is one's embodied consciousness. The inner witness develops through one's presence, through the presence of an outer witness, and through practice within a safe container. The main factors interfering with the development of the inner witness are one's complexes, manifesting largely through fear, expectations and one's inner critic.
520 $a Directions for future research were identified as: (1) exploring touch as a form of developmental recapitulation and mirroring and; (2) exploring the collective energetic exchange as a support for transformation.
