Tantra Illuminated with Dr. Christopher Wallis

Show Notes

In this second part of the archival conversation, Hareesh continues his dialogue with hosts Stuart Goodnick and Dr. Robert Schmidt, turning toward the dynamics of the energy body, emotional digestion, and the long arc of integration. They explore how unresolved impressions (saṁskāras) shape our sense of self, why true digestion requires presence rather than suppression, and how imaginal practices in Tantra awaken a more fluid and responsive relationship to experience. The conversation also touches on ego structures, relational practice, and the pitfalls of spiritual dogma, offering a grounded look at what it means to mature both energetically and as a human.
