In this conversation, Leanne Whitney explores the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali as a precise map of consciousness and liberation. She speaks to the distinction between pure consciousness and the movements of the mind, the nature of the self the sutras point toward, and the way Patanjali’s path culminates in freedom. A depth psychologist and author of Consciousness in Jung and Patañjali, she draws the classical yogic tradition into dialogue with Western depth psychology, illuminating what this ancient text offers a contemporary search for meaning.
