This book explores Jung's idea of archetypes in relation to their geometrical appearance (shape), an issue to which he points to but which is neglected in analytical psychology. The research is based on movement analysis, anatomy and geometry and encompasses findings from archaeology, therapy, art, cosmology as well as concepts of movement. The insights which these fields provide are embedded in the theory of archetypes of movement and enrich the work of performers, bodyworkers, psychotherapists and dance therapists. However, the book is also worth reading for people who are interested in mythology, alchemy, altered states of consciousness, astronomy and astrology as well as in movement in general.
