SUMMARY:Insight Meditation: Jung's Psychology\, Complexes and the Ānāpān
 asmṛti Sūtra 
DESCRIPTION:Jung's psychology and Buddhist meditation are often seen as sep
 arate approaches. One is in analysis or one meditates.The goal of each see
 ms to be different\, individuation in one case and enlightenment in the ot
 her. While there are particular points where Jung's thinking and that of B
 uddhism may not be complementary\, a point of unification between the two 
 can be found in Jung's theory of complexes and the strategies he developed
  for making them conscious and working with their destructive affects. Thi
 s lecture will explore both Jung's thinking and the Anapanasati Sutra. We 
 will consider how the meditation this sutra describes can be joined with a
 nalytical tools to form an effective and liberating practice to free one f
 rom living out complexes as fate.\n\nThe Ānāpānasmṛti Sūtra is somet
 imes referred to as The Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing. Because 
 it carries no cultural baggage\, it provides an excellent vehicle to free 
 one from intense affects generated by complexes. It may even lead to a tra
 nsformation in the complexes themselves. The lecture will be followed by a
 n experience of this practice and a consideration of some approaches to in
 tegrate these powerful contemplations with the analytical practices of Jun
 g's psychology.\n\nMichele O'Brien\, Ph.D.\,is a Jungian Analyst in privat
 e practice in Santa Monica. She is on faculty at the C.G. Jung Institute o
 f Los Angeles and the University of Philosophical Research. Dr. O'Brien's 
 particular interests are the religious function of the psyche\, individuat
 ion\, and the confluence of Jung's psychology and Eastern systems of thoug
 ht.
