What ‘kuṇḍalinī awakening’ really mean in traditional Yogic and Tantric scriptures? Does modern yoga accurately reflect the ancient teachings on cakras and the subtle body, or have essential truths been lost beneath layers of misconception and appropriation?This discussion takes you beyond the surface-level understandings of Kuṇḍalinī, cakras, and the subtle body by returning to classical Tantric sources (both Indian and Balinese), uncovering what has been distorted, forgotten, or misunderstood in contemporary practice. How did classical Tantra describe these transformative energies? And how do these teachings compare to the way they are interpreted today?
We will also critically examine Carl G. Jung’s interpretation of Kuṇḍalinī, exploring both the valuable insights and the fundamental misreadings and ‘psychologization’ in his attempt to translate Eastern spiritual traditions into Western psychology.
Questions We Will Explore:
🔹 Are cakras really ‘energy centers,’ or is this a modern reinterpretation?
🔹 How does Indian Tantra describe the awakening of Kuṇḍalinī, and what do Balinese Tantric traditions add to this understanding?
🔹 Is Kuṇḍalinī dangerous, or is this fear based on misinterpretations?
🔹 What role do breath, mantra, posture, and ritual play in authentic Tantric Kuṇḍalinī practices?
🔹 How have Western psychology and New Age movements reshaped (or distorted) the original teachings?
🔹 What can modern yogis learn from classical texts to deepen their practice authentically?
Whether you're a yoga practitioner, spiritual seeker, or simply curious about the esoteric dimensions of Tantra, this talk will challenge and expand your understanding. Join us as we reclaim the authentic wisdom of Kuṇḍalinī Yoga and explore what it truly means for personal transformation today.
