[[alternative]]Focusing on the Mandala Drawing as a Self-Narratives of Individuation Process

[[abstract]] 本研究藉由個人由2007 年到2010 年的曼荼羅創作進行論文研究。研究目的為：透過個人曼荼羅創作系列記錄，以榮格分析心理學的「個體化歷程」階段，說明個人的心理歷程，與潛意識是如何帶領自己打破僵化固執的觀念與心中的「陰影」對抗，而獲得二元對立的平衡的可能性。 本研究以榮格分析心理學理論為依據，藉由他對個體化的路徑：夢的解析、曼荼羅創作與積極想像等理論架構來探索內心世界與現實生活的關聯的闡釋。再透過曼荼羅之獨特符號象徵去理解內在的精神世界，從不同角度思考問題與共同解讀曼荼羅創作的心靈現象背後的各種隱含意義，作為研究方法。並建構出四個階段，分別陳述如下：一、始於召喚－諭示之夢；二、試煉之路─揭開面具，面對陰影；三、回返──意識解放；四、處在當下──二元對立平衡。為個人的創作圖像的演變與自我揭露生命故事或現象之解釋，讓研究者對自己有更深化的認識與對生命的理解。[[abstract]] The investigation of this thesis was based on my individual creative works of Mandala drawings during the years 2007-10. The aim of this research is to elaborate on the experiences of my life and how the subconsciousness has helped break some of my fossilized and obdurate concepts to fight against the psychological shadows, by means of a series of creative works of Mandala Drawing and records and the individuation process of Jungian analytical psychology, and finally obtain the possible balance of dichotomy. This research is based on the theories of Jungian analytical psychology to elaborate on the path to individuation in which the inner world and the real life are explored in terms of the framework of dream analysis, Mandala drawings and positive thinking.Then the inner spiritual world is explored by means of the unique symbols of Mandala drawings, the problems can be viewed from different perspectives and the hidden meanings can be interpreted from the psychological phenomenon shown in the Mandala drawings. There are four phases in the process of the research.1. the summon shown in dreams 2. the path of training used to disclose the mask and face the shadows3. the return symbolized as the emancipation of thinking4. the living present meant the balance of dichotomy The investigator can have a deeper realization of herself and a better understanding of life through the evolvement of the creative patterns and the elaboration on the self discovery of life stories
