This new series on Jung and Yoga explores the common threads between Yoga Philosophy and Jungian Psychology. As we merge East-West concepts, you can better understand how both can lead to a more fulfilling life. This episode explores the concept of “ego” in both Jung and Yoga Philosophies. We discuss:

  • The three ways the ego creates suffering
  • How the ego is set up for survival but not spiritual transcendence
  • How to work with your mind to recognize your ego and begin to change the direction of your life

Obviously, by the West we mean Jungian psychology primarily, but we can also look at other things like neuroscience, compare and contrast some of these elements. We all arrive at the same place if we look for the truth. The truth is always the truth, whether we approach it from the scientific perspective, from the yoga perspective, or any other way, we reach the same conclusion. Let’s look at the ego. I’d like to dedicate this series to people experiencing autoimmune problems, or autoimmune disorders.
