It's all too common to ignore the importance of the body. Oftentimes, we simply see it as a carrier for the mind. We only pay attention to its care when the proverbial 'check engine' light comes on: unexplained pain, persistent symptoms of an unknown origin, discomfort that distracts from day-to-day life... we pay attention only when we must.

But is the body simply a "meat vehicle?" Increasing evidence indicates that the body and mind are more interwoven than we've scientifically understood in the past. 

For example, the gut hosts so many neurons that it has its own system, often called a 'second brain'. While these neurons perform different functions than the mind, the communication between these two 'brains' are so critical that therapies which focus on one invariably impacts the other. 

It's exciting to have scientific research use instruments to measure what has been part of spiritual practice for thousands of years.

As personality type enthusiasts, it's easy to focus on the mind... and diminish the importance of the body.

After all, what can the body tell us about personality? Isn't the mind the infinite playground of personal understanding?

Fans of Jung: You will learn about yoga in Jung's own words. You will also get a view of consciousness that is based in the body and emotions as well as the head. This will help you shift from an academic view of the psyche to a more holistic approach.

Psychologists and Neuroscientists: Jung focused on clinical tools from a multicultural view. The chakras are based on people's experiences - physiological and psychological. Think of chakras as a rough guide to tapping into the autonomic nervous system and endocrine glands.

Shamans: If you work with medicines like ayahuasca, this course is definitely for you. You will recognize many chakra themes from experience. For example, the 2nd chkara links to the storage and release of emotions. This is the resource to integrate your own and others' shamanic experiences.

Yoga Aficionados: Jung's take on kundalini offers a nuanced psychological view of the chakras. Notably, he believed in using symbols, such as chakra mandalas, to influence the psyche.

Personality Type Enthusiasts: This course helps translate the data and information of Carl Jung (and subsequent personality type systems) into the knowledge and wisdom that comes from taking action. Go beyond passively learning into actively experiencing.
