The Psychology of Kundalini Yoga: Notes of the Seminar Given in 1932

Product Description

“Kundalini yoga presented Jung with a model of something that was almost completely lacking in Western psychology–an account of the development phases of higher consciousness…. Jung’s insistence on the psychogenic and symbolic significance of such states is even more timely now than then. As R. D. Laing stated… ‘It was Jung who broke the ground here, but few followed him.’”–From the introduction by Sonu Shamdasani

Jung’s seminar on Kundalini yoga, presented to the Psychological Club in Zurich in 1932, has been widely regarded as a milestone in the psychological understanding of Eastern thought and of the symbolic transformations of inner experience. Kundalini yoga presented Jung with a model for the developmental phases of higher consciousness, and he interpreted its symbols in terms of the process of individuation. With sensitivity toward a new generation’s interest in alternative religions 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 prewar Europe regarded Eastern spirituality as they discovered more and more of its resources, from yoga to tantric texts. Reconstructing this seminar through new documentation, Shamdasani explains, in his introduction, why Jung thought that the comprehension of Eastern thought was essential if Western psychology was to develop. He goes on to orient today’s audience toward an appreciation of some of the questions that stirred the minds of Jung and his seminar 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 Kundalini yoga shed on conditions diagnosed as psychotic? Not only were these questions important to analysts in the 1930s but, as Shamdasani stresses, they continue to have psychological relevance for readers on the threshold of the twenty-first century. This volume also offers newly translated material from Jung’s German language seminars, a seminar by the indologist Wilhelm Hauer presented in conjunction with that of Jung, illustrations of the cakras, and Sir John Woodroffe’s classic translation of the tantric text, the Sat-cakra Nirupana.

Kundalini Yoga for the West: A Foundation for Character Building Courage and Awareness

Product Description
Kundalini: Yoga for the West is a practical guide for building character, increasing awareness and discovering one’s inner potential. Exploring each cakra, Swami Radha asks questions for reflection and presents clear directions for exercises and practices on such subjects as mind and consciousness; the senses; sex, birth, and death; and the emotions and finer feelings. For the thoughtful and serious student, the book provides a comprehensive, step-by-step program for understanding Kundalini yoga.

As Swami Radha says in A Word from the Author, “the purpose of this book is to give the tools by which those who wish to cooperate with the process of evolution can do so. There is no mystification about the awakening of Kundalini, yet this process leads to the mystical experience.”

The book is richly illustrated. The hardcover edition of the book includes glossy color prints of the cakras, while the paperback edition includes black and white line drawings.
