Practical Re-Enchantment

Rediscovering the Imaginal Realm Through Ancient Spiritual Practices and Modern Psychology

About this book

Practical Re-Enchantment presents a transformative and practical framework for addressing the spiritual and material crises of modernity by reclaiming the full power of the imagination. Integrating Henry Corbin's Sufi mysticism, Jungian and archetypal psychology, and Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, the book culminates in the concept of "imaginal yoga"--a practical path that heals the polarization and fragmentation at the root of modern consciousness.

Practical Re-Enchantment moves beyond the limitations of secularism and the spiritual-but-not-religious (SBNR) movement. It illustrates a worldview where imagination is not make-believe or simply a vehicle for human creativity, but is instead a reality-creating, divine force. Building on concepts like Corbin's mundus imaginalis, Jung's active imagination, and Tibetan Tantric self-generation yoga, the book presents flexible and accessible imaginal practices that dissolve boundaries between spirit and matter and inner and outer realities.

Drawing from personal experience and scholarly insight, Practical Re-Enchantment proposes imaginal yoga as a living, evolving discipline rooted in paradox, symbolic interpretation, and erotic embodiment. Ultimately, Practical Re-Enchantment offers a visionary guide for modern seekers to rediscover the experience of an enchanted life in a way that brings healing to their inner and outer worlds.
