The Psychology of Kundalini Yoga - Notes of the Seminar Given in 1932 (Hardcover)

Jung's seminar on Kundalini Yoga, presented to the Psychology Club was an important event in the psychological understanding of Eastern thought and the symbolic transformations of inner experience. With sensitivity toward a new generation's interest in alternative religion and psychological exploration, Sonu Shamdasani has brought together the lectures and discussions from this seminar. In this volume, he re-creates for today's reader the fascination with which many intellectuals of pre-war Europe regarded Eastern spirituality as they discovered more and more of its resources, from yoga to tantric texts. In particular, Shamdasani guides his audience toward an appreciation of the questions that stirred the minds of Jung and his group: What is the relation between Eastern schools of liberation and Western psychotherapy? What connection is there between esoteric religious traditions and spontaneous individual experience? What light do the symbols of Kundalinia Yoga shed on conditions diagnosed as psychotic? In his introduction, Shamdasani reconstrcts the seminar through new documentation.
