Bhāva: A Theory of Imagination (clip) with Jacob Kyle (#173)

In this episode of the podcast, we share an excerpt from the 30-Day Sādhana on the topic of bhāva, a Sanskrit word which has a number of different meanings, including emotion, being, becoming, and denotes a state of things that we bring into being through practice. It grounds a theory of imagination that is both illuminating and empowering. It grounds our understanding of how and why visualization practices are effective. It is a central theoretical concept that we’re exploring as we investigate the yoga text, the Matsyendrasaṃhitā, throughout the 30 days of the challenge.
