There is a weight that is not measured on any scale. The Weight of the Soul is a depth-psychological meditation on what we carry that no diet, medication, or behavioural intervention can address. Drawing on Jung’s alchemical thought, Hillman’s archetypal psychology, and more than two decades of clinical practice as a Jungian Analyst, Konrad van Staden offers an invitation to sit with the heaviness as material, to recognise it as something the soul is asking to be met, and to begin the patient work of transmutation. For the reader drawn to depth psychology, the seeker who has read enough Jung to suspect that the body is a sacred text, and anyone who has begun to sense that what they carry has a meaning the carrying itself has been asking them to discover.
