This compelling course offers a broad perspective of the Hindu concept of karma integrated with views from western depth psychology.
The perfect guide for this synthesis is Dr. Ashok Bedi. Bedi blends his lifelong immersion in Hindu culture with his decades of clinical experience in the depth psychology of the West. In this course he shares the clear map he’s created to identify the conflicts and blessings that repeat generation after generation in families.
From the Hindu perspective, Dr. Bedi explains how the choices we make create negative or positive karma that manifests in following generations. He looks at the three sources of karma and the four tasks of life in which we generate karma.
A natural storyteller, Dr. Bedi relates Hindu and Greek myths that reveal karmic family patterns. Carl Jung’s life and work is also touched on in terms of Jung’s family karma. Jung’s word association test is looked at as evidence for family complexes, or family karma.

From the depth psychology perspective, he relates the archetypes of the Mother, Father, Warrior, Trickster, Lover, Leader and Guru to the chakras as well as to specific developmental issues.
