We might think of empathy as feeling what others feel, coupled with a kind of concern for them, and that is part of it. But when you feel what other people feel, you're actually feeling what you feel. You're understanding the other person's position through the lens of yourself. And so empathy is really a willingness to experience that, and therefore it is not only for other people, it's a willingness to feel what you yourself feel.

This exercise uses active imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation.
