Mental: healing the memories
This is the level of the mind, it houses the thinking, learning and focusing abilities. Through the mind we process information and develop new skills. The mind can totally isolate itself and withdraw into the realm of thoughts. In reality the mind cannot function without direct and profound involvement of the body. The split between mind and body is replaced by a notion of the interrelatedness between body, mind, other people and nature.
The mental level in Pansori focuses at healing the memories. Counseling and deep listening are the most appropriate forms of psychotherapy to address this level. It will help to give terrible experiences a place and a meaning. The person who listens is a witness to our history and that in itself is deeply healing. Pansori teaches listening skills, basic psychological knowledge and the impact of trauma on the personality.
