Charles Zeltzer, Ph.D. - Wisdom of the Body in Kundalini, Alchemy, and Individuation
C.G. Jung Society, Seattle presents:
Charles Zeltzer, Ph.D.
The Wisdom of the Body in Kundalini, Alchemy, and Individuation.

The symbolism of the chakras of Kundalini Yoga addresses the movement of psychic energy from primal levels of survival to the most developed and at the same time simplest aspects of the religious function of the psyche. Jung saw in these images one of the deepest and most extensive symbolic expressions of the entire individuation process.

Lecture - Friday February 6th, 7-9 PM:
On Friday evening we will embark on a journey through the symbolism of the chakras as they manifest in the seven bodily locations. The symbolism connected with these energy centers will be compared to that of the alchemical process. How this same imagery manifests in the psychological and spiritual experience of modern individuals will be illustrated and discussed.

Workshop - Saturday, February 7th, 10 AM  4 PM:
On Saturday, using my own experience as an example, we will look more closely at how Tantric and Kundalini imagery manifests in the individuation of a westerner. While undergoing intense regimens of bodywork, early traumatic experience was reactivated and assimilated in a new and deeper way, leading to transformation in my relationship to the life of the darker affects. In this night-sea journey into the liminal, non-verbal spaces where body and psyche meet, the unconscious utilized the imagery of alchemy and the chakras to express its experience of re-integration. These experiences will be presented in the hopes of deepening our understanding of the phenomenology of the individuation process. After presenting my own experience, participants are invited to briefly relate any image, experience, or dream of the body that had a psychological impact. I will then connect this experience to the material we have been discussing.

Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the relationship between the goal of the alchemical process and the goal of the movement through the chakras.
2. Explain the psychological significance of the lower three chakras.
3. Describe the psychological significance of the fourth chakra.
4. Explain the psychological significance of the upper three chakras.
