In this conversation, Leanne Whitney explores the central argument of her Routledge book, Consciousness in Jung and Patañjali — a careful meeting of Western depth psychology and classical yoga on the question of consciousness. She speaks to the distinction between consciousness and its contents, the place of the feminine and the body in the path of transformation, and the samadhi that Patanjali describes alongside Jung’s vision of individuation. Drawing the two traditions into genuine dialogue, she illuminates what each reveals about the self and the ground of awareness.
