Carl Jung On Yoga In the West w/ Tim Kenty

In this episode, I speak again with Tim Kenty, whom you may remember from the episode about spiritual bypassing.

This time, we discuss an intriguing quote from Carl Jung about the practice of yoga in the western world. It may sound controversial to western yogis, but Carl Jung was not someone whose words are to be taken lightly. Out of deep appreciation for yoga and deep understanding of western culture he stated that the west is the worst possible soil for yoga practice.

This is because it is barbarously one-sided in its thinking whereas eastern spirituality is thousands of years ahead in its evolution. He said, though, that over the course of the centuries, the west will produce its own yoga. In his reflections, Tim commented that collectively what’s going on now is that the west is gradually making friends with yoga and other forms of spirituality, a relationship that will deepen over time.

A surprising twist is that he gives a literal take on Jung’s soil analogy, speaking of how the literal soil of India is more potent and favorable for yoga practice than that of the west, given the fact that so many yogis have walked barefoot on those lands over millennia.

Get ready for a plunge in the ocean of wisdom, as Tim Kenty unpacks Jung’s statement, and travels back in time to the pre-Socratic philosophers who communed with Mother Nature.
