Title: Psychoanalysis + Yoga = Emotional Clearing
Product review: If Freud were a proponent of yoga, many more people would be doing "Emotional Clearing" these days. The idea of discovering and re-experiencing highly emotional memories to "cleanse" the brain of the repressed emotion is not new. And yoga has been around forever (I'm pretty sure cavemen did yoga).I appreciate Ruskan's idea and his ability to articulate it, but I'm also a bit wary of his dogmatic adherance to one form of therapy, especially when he starts recommending against antidepressants because they "block off emotions for clearing". He begins to sound less like an accepting eastern meditator on emptiness and more like a puritanical westerner who sees pain as the only passage to happiness. Wouldn't it be better to spend our time cultivating good emotions and accepting the presence of the bad ones, as opposed to frantically cleaning house?
