CARL JUNG : 

Jung used the Kundalini system symbolically as a means of understanding the dynamic movement between conscious and unconscious processes. He cautioned that all forms of yoga, when used by Westerners, can be attempts at domination of the body and unconscious through the ideal of ascending into higher chakras.  According to Carl Jung "... the concept of Kundalini has for us only one use, that is, to describe our own experiences with the unconscious ..." 

 

 

WILHELM REICH 

Reich says that few of us experience a full Energetic Response in life. A full release implies that one is in full possession of oneself first. That is in order to fully "lose" yourself you must first be fully embodied as a sovereign spiritual entity. But if we have been conditioned into repressing the best and the worst in us to fit into our parents/societal program there is no way that we are either going to be fully souled, fully sexed or even in touch with our shadow. And this is where the neurodetoxification of repression comes in as a method of soul and energy retrieval.

 

 ALEXANDER LOWEN 

"A totality of response to any situation is unusual in our culture. We are all in too much conflict to surrender fully to any feeling." 

P.245 Alexander Lowen, Bioenergetics.

As we evolve, we need to honour our animal-responses in order to not become rigid, suppressive and enervated (loss of energy). Thus we need to deal with shock, fear, anger, stress and grief by skillful means to avoid the tendency toward cumulative neurotoxic repression.

 

The popularization of eastern spiritual practices has been associated with psychological problems in the west. Psychiatric literature notes that "since the influx of eastern spiritual practices and the rising popularity of meditation starting in the 1960s, many people have experienced a variety of psychological difficulties, either while engaged in intensive spiritual practice or spontaneously". Among the psychological difficulties associated with intensive spiritual practice we find "Kundalini awakening", "a complex physio-psychospiritual transformative process described in the yogic tradition". Researchers in the fields of Transpersonal psychology have described a complex pattern of sensory, motor, mental and affective symptoms associated with the concept of Kundalini, sometimes called the Kundalini syndrome.

 

Kundalini Massage and Psychoanalytic Bodywork assists with looking deeper into our programming and understanding the depth of what has made us who we are and what is our limitations to who we want to become. ​
