The Anima is the archetype of the feminine principle, which exists in every human being. It represents our model of women and is based in both personal experience and rooted in our collective experiences of the feminine and of woman going back hundreds of thousands of years if not longer.

The Anima is naturally more unconscious in men, as a matter of definition, whereas for women it would be the Animus which is more unconscious. Anyone can benefit from developing a relationship with the Anima. For women you may wish to emphasise working with the Animus, but you can certainly still benefit from doing this exercise.

The Anima is therefore a conduit to qualities we usually associate with the feminine such as emotion, intuition, sensation, nurturing qualities, all of which are just as vital to existence as masculine qualities. Working with the Anima is not about integrating the entire archetype, because that would be impossible, but deepening a relationship with it. So it's not about becoming more feminine per se, but developing our relationship to this part of the psyche, which will naturally transfer over into our relationships with women in our life and feminine qualities, and allow us to see them as they really are, unencumbered by Anima projection and our own unconscious or unquestioned assumptions about everything that entails.

Active Imagination is a technique developed by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung for engaging with the unconscious mind. Jung considered Active Imagination to be the most powerful way to access the unconscious mind and a vital technique for attaining wholeness of personality.
